Overview

• Great Ormond Street Hospital said construction for a new pediatric cancer center led to the early unearthing of a 1991 time capsule assembled with Princess Diana’s input.
• The capsule’s contents included a Casio pocket television, a solar calculator, a Kylie Minogue Rhythm of Love CD, British coins, a copy of The Times, seeds, and a photograph of Diana.
• The hospital called the collection a powerful reminder of early‑1990s life and of Diana’s long, hands‑on relationship with the pediatric institution where she served as honorary president.
• Reporting on the anniversary reiterated established facts: the 1997 Alma tunnel crash killed Dodi Al‑Fayed and driver Henri Paul at the scene, Diana died hours later, Trevor Rees‑Jones survived, and French and British inquiries ruled out a planned killing, citing the driver’s intoxication.
• Media also resurfaced a reported account of Diana’s purported last words attributed via The Sun to firefighter Xavier Gourmelon, while Jamie Lee Curtis posted an Instagram tribute recalling a near‑meeting and letter exchange with the princess.
