Seventeen years ago today, on August 31 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash while trying to escape the paparazzi in Paris. Britain's "People's Princess" had a love-hate relationship with the press. From her royal controversies to her humanitarian efforts, every move of hers made news. She often used the media's obsession with her to promote the causes she stood for.
This clip looks at Princess Diana's time in India while on a state tour with Prince Charles in 1992. Her visit to the Taj Mahal and the iconic photograph of her seated alone in front of the marble symbol of love led many to speculate about the state of her marriage with Prince Charles.
