Fayed's and Princess Diana's close friendship became clear to the outside world over the past five weeks, as the couple took a series of holidays together in the Mediterranean. Newspapers reported Diana first met Fayed almost 10 years ago when he and Prince Charles played polo on opposing teams. Films he has produced or co-produced include the 1981 Oscar-winning "Chariots of Fire," "The World According to Carp," "FX" and "Hook." On Aug. 21, Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed flew to the French Mediterranean resort of St. Tropez for their third holiday together in five weeks.

Reportedly a multimillionaire, Fayed had homes in London, New York, Los Angeles and Switzerland as well as a garage full of luxury cars. His 1994 marriage lasted just eight months. Mohamed Al Fayed was a friend of Princess Diana's father, the late Lord Spencer. In the first week of August, British newspapers speculated that Dodi and Diana were in love. On Aug.

10 a tabloid newspaper published blurred pictures of the couple kissing. Last week, Diana told the French newspaper Lo Monde that she would have left Britain if it wasn't for her children. "Any sane person would have left long ago. But I cannot. I have my sons," Diana said in the hospital.

Fayed, the 42-year-old son of the billionaire Egyptian owner of London's prestigious Harrod's department store, was also killed in the accident, along with the chauffeur. His falher, Mohamed Al Fayed, was on his way to Paris, said his spokesman, Michael Cole. France Info reported the chauffeur was a security agent at the Hotel owned by Mohamed Al Fayed. The fourth person in the car, a bodyguard, was also seriously injured in the crash. Diana died at the Hospital de la Pitio Salpetriere in south-central Paris.

Before news of the death, a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman in London said Prince Charles, now in Balmoral, Scotland, had been informed of the accident. "We are aware of this awful accident but we are awaiting further details about what has happened," the spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity. American tourists Tom Richardson and Joanna Luz were among the first on the scene. They told CNN they were walking nearby when they heard the crash and ran into the tunnel. The car Diana was in "looked like it hit a wall," said Richardson, of San Diego.

Lady Diana Spencer, the daughter of an earl, was 20 when she married the heir to the British throne July 29, 1981, in a ceremony watched by millions around the globe. The birth of two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, seemed to complete the happiness that world expected for a golden couple But in the early 1990s, the newspapers began reporting how much time Charles and Diana spent apart. Speculation about an unhappy marriage grew intense. Andrew Morton's "Diana, Her True Story" in June 1992 caused a sensation, saying Charles was conducting a long-term affair with a married woman Camilla Parker Bowles and that Diana had attempted suicide.

Finally, on Dec. 9, 1992, Prime Minister John Major announced to Parliament that the couple would separate. They attempted to maintain their roles separately, but a series of retaliatory attacks in the press cast a shadow over their lives and over the monarchy. Queen Elizabeth II asked them to divorce, and after more months of wrangling, they agreed. The divorce became final Aug.

Prime Minister Tony Blair said the thoughts and prayers of the nation were with the young princes, a sentiment reiterated by British across the country. Charles and his sons have been spending the month of August with Queen Elizabeth II at the caslle, enjoying hunting and other outdoor pursuits.

In a break from recent years, Charles invited photographers for a photo call at Balmoral hoping they would then leave the royal family alone. Wiiliam, tall and slim with a shock of blond hair, dislikes the paparazzi and kept looking down. Only once did he raise his eyes and smile shyly reminiscent of his mother's shy smile. Earlier this summer, Diana said the photographers get him "freaked out." Harry, an exuberant skier and athlete with reddish-blond hair, seemed to ignore the cameras. The princes were born into the limelight but have had an exceptionally tough childhood, growing up in a royal family far more open to publicity than ever before and with parents whose marital troubles were daily fodder for the tabloids.

In 1995, flanked by his estranged parents, William arrived at Eton College, the first future king to attend the venerable institution that for more than 500 years has educated the sons of Britain's elite. He has become something of a heart-throb among teen-age girls, regularly featuring at the top of polls for the most handsome royal.

A palace spokesman said funeral arrangements are being discussed, but have not yet been finalized. The Associatod Press LONDON Prince William and Prince Harry, "the boys" Princess Diana adored, learned of their mother's death before dawn today when their father woke them with the tragic news.

William, 15, and Harry, whose 13th birthday is Sept. 15, wore spending the end of their summer holiday with Prince Charles at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, before returning to school. For Diana, the boys were paramount. She said in an interview published last week, her sons were the only thing that was keeping her in Britain, where she was continually hounded by the tabloids. And her devotion was returned.

The boys obviously loved being with her, sharing her informal lifestyle and the normal childhood joys which she insisted they savor trips to fun parks, going to the She succeeded in winning something akin to adoration among millions of people around the world. She traveled widely for her causes, including research for AIDS, cancer and heart disease, and most prominently seeking a ban on the use of land mines.

She and Charles, 48, shared custody of their sons William, now 15, and Harry, 12. There was no precedent for Diana's new role.

There had never been an ex-wife of a Prince of Wales. Although effectively out of a job, she worked hard and secured her place as an international figure and humanitarian.
