“Always an impossible day,” he added.

Her driver, Henri Paul, who had a concoction of prescribed drugs and alcohol in his system, and was rushing at 65 mph, tried to ditch paparazzi on motorbikes, and instead crashed the Mercedes carrying Diana and her companion Dodi Al-Fayed into a pillar inside Paris’ Pont de l’Alma tunnel.
At the time of her death, Diana was one 12 months divorced from Prince Charles. Their sons, William and Harry, had been 15 and 12, respectively, when the tragic accident occurred.

In May, Spencer opened up about dropping his sister on a particular version of the “Loose Women” speak show in honor of Mental Health Awareness Week.
“It’s such an amputation. It’s like the other guys were saying, you grow up with these people, they are your flesh and blood, they’re with you forever, and then they’re gone,” Spencer shared.
He described the death of a sibling as “a really extraordinary thing” and admitted he’s still grieving Diana.

“For years after Diana died, I would think, ‘I must ring her and tell her something,’ because we shared the same sense of humor and you just realize, of course, that’s not going to happen,” Spencer said.
Spencer has been making headlines lately for his divorce from his third spouse, Countess Karen Spencer, 52. The exes share one baby, daughter Lady Charlotte Diana, 13.
