She was killed by a drunken driver, but an emergency medical system that was too slow did not save her. Her chances of survival were diminished by a system that took 101 minutes to get her to a hospital that was 6 kilometers away.

She couldn't believe that Diana would speak out so publicly and disgrace the family in such a bold way. Margaret was deeply loyal to the monarchy and saw Diana's actions as unforgivable.
