It has been nearly 25 years since Princess Diana died in a high-speed car crash. The French doctor at the scene recalled finding a woman at the scene, unaware of who she was at the time, and trying to save her.
"I realize my name will always be attached to this tragic night," Mailliez, who was on his way home from a party when he came across the car crash, told The Associated Press. "I feel a little bit responsible for her last moments."
The doctor would later find out the news — along with the rest of the world — that the woman he treated was Diana, Britain’s national treasure adored by millions. As he worked, he noticed the flash of camera bulbs, of paparazzi gathered to document the scene. A British inquest found Diana’s chauffeur, Henri Paul, was drunk and driving at a high speed to elude pursuing photographers.Mailliez said he had "no reproach" toward the photographers’ actions after the crash. "They didn’t hamper me having access to the victims. ... I didn’t ask them for help, but they didn’t interfere with my job.
The anniversary is stirring up those memories again, but they also come back "each time I drive through the Alma Tunnel," he said. Irinia Ouahvi, a 16-year-old Parisian visiting the flame, said she knows Diana through TikTok videos and through her mother.
