This week marked the Princess of Walesâ 60th birthday. What would she be doing now, if her life hadnât been cut short in that car crash of 1997?

I concede, one of Dianaâs astrologers (she had two) would be better placed to assess the Princess of Wales at 60. Yet how different, but for that fatal crash in Pont de lâAlma 24 years ago, would the Windsors and the world be as the ex-wife, mother, and grandmother of five turned 60 on July 1?
