问题     On August 31, 1997, Lady Diana Spencer, former wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, was killed with her companion Dodi Fayed in a car accident in Paris.
    Tests conducted by French police indicated that the driver, who also died in the crash, was intoxicated and likely caused the accident while trying to escape the paparazzi photographers who consistently tailed Diana during any public outing.
    Sixteen years earlier, nearly four billion people in 74 countries had tuned in to witness the marriage of Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, to Lady Diana, a young English school teacher. Married in a grand ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral in the presence of 2,650 guests, the couple’s romance was for the moment the envy of the world.
    However, before long the fairy-tale couple grew apart, an experience that was particularly painful under the ubiquitous eyes of the world’s tabloid media.
    In August 1996, two months after Queen Elizabeth II urged the couple to divorce, the prince and princess reached a final agreement.
    In exchange for a generous settlement, and the right to retain her apartments at Kensington Palace and her title of princess, Diana agreed to relinquish the title of "Her Royal Highness" and any future claims to the British throne.
    In the year between the divorce and her fatal car accident, the popular princess seemed well on her way of achieving her dream of becoming "a queen in people’s hearts."
选项
答案     1997年8月31日，威尔士亲王查尔斯的前妻戴安娜?斯宾塞女士与她的男友多迪?法耶德在巴黎遇车祸死亡。
    法国警察进行了化验，化验结果表明，在车祸中死亡的司机喝醉了酒，他在躲避每次戴安娜外出时紧随不放的摄影记者时出了车祸。
    16年前，在74个国家有近40亿人在电视上目睹英国王位的继承人查尔斯亲王与年轻的英国教师戴安娜的婚礼。他们俩在圣保罗教堂举行了盛大的仪式，有2，650人出席，当时他们俩的浪漫故事使世人羡慕。
    但是不久，这童话般一对儿的感情就破裂了。世界各地的小报密切跟踪，详细报道，使得这段经历更加令人痛苦。
    在伊莉沙白二世女王劝说他们离婚后两个月，也就是1996年8月，两人达成了最后协议。
    戴安娜为了获得优厚的待遇，并为有权保留她在肯新顿宫的住房和王妃的头衔，同意放弃“殿下”的称号和今后对继承英国王位的要求。
    在离婚之后到车祸身亡的一年中，这位人们爱戴的王妃似已接近实现她成为“人们心中的女王”的梦想。
