Letter: Diana, latest victim of the car culture
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Sir: On the same page as various items discussing the paparazzi in pursuit of Princess Diana, you publish (1 September) a photograph of the two young princes and their father being driven to church on Sunday morning, taken by a lens that was peering through the windows of the car.
I find that photograph unacceptably intrusive. Please may these children be allowed to grieve for their dead mother in private, however public the occasion? At the funeral, may they be allowed to weep, if they weep, without being displayed across the screens and newspapers of the world?
This is the first memorial we might build to the People's Princess.
The Rev BERNARD O'CONNOR OSA
