History

Historical Context

Diana's fatal crash on 31 August 1997 sparked a high-profile police inquiry (Operation Paget) and a costly inquest that concluded in 2008 with an unlawful-killing verdict, costing over £12.5 million. The scrutiny prompted the Metropolitan Police and the royal household to review protection measures, a framework that now guides the Sussex team’s travel assessments for Prince Harry and Meghan.
