While in Paris for the 2007 Rugby World Cup semi-final, Harry, who was 23, was driven through the Pont de l’Alma tunnel at the same speed as the car that was carrying Diana and Dodi Fayed before it crashed in August 1997. Harry said in his autobiography Spare there was “no reason anyone should ever die inside” the tunnel, adding the drive was “a very bad idea”. No reason anyone should ever die inside it.” The inquest into Diana’s death heard that her car was travelling at between 60mph and 65mph – around twice the 31mph limit for the road – when it struck the 13th pillar of the westbound carriageway in the underpass.
