perhaps the last few photos of Diana alive.

 

The year was 1997. Diana was finally moving on with her life and establishing herself as a single woman. She had gained interest in Mohamed Alfayed and was spending more time with him throughout this year. In June, Diana holds a charity auction of 79 of her dresses at Christie's in New York. In July, Diana cruises with Dodi aboard his cruise ship, the Janikal. (photo above)

"It's time I started getting a life. [Dodi] is the man who will take me out of one world into another. I trust him. I think he can provide everything I need."
-Diana

She once wondered out loud to a royal milliner,
"If anything ever happens to me, Mr. Somerville,
do you think they'll think of me as another Jackie Kennedy?"
-Diana
