"Why am I even here?" Prince Charles whispered over sharply to his ex-wife.
Diana Looked out over the scenery of Paris. "I don't know, you agreed to come."
A photographer was hiding in a nearby tree. Charles spotted the man. "Maybe we should move inside."
"So, We've been divorced now for over a year."
"A year to the day."
"No, it's a year and three days. But who's counting." They both laughed.
"So, how Camilla" Diana asked politely.
"Yeah, Sarah is good" Diana's jaw dropped, why would Charles make such a crude impolite joke about her sister. Diana laughed off the shock.
Hours passed and they were lost in conversation. Diana looks down at her watch.
"I'm sorry, I have to go"
"The least I could do is be gentlemanly and walk you to your limo."
"There is nothing gentlemanly about you"
"I can prove otherwise"
"Than lead on"
They both moved towards the door. The moment they emerged FLASH. A camera shone in their eyes, than another and another. soon they were going off in strobe succession.
They sprinted towards the car making them look even more suspicious. Diana slid into the back seat. She turned to Charles.
"Get in." she barked.
"What?"
"GET IN!" her eyes narrowed. "I am nit leaving you to those dogs of the media." Charles slid into the back seat beside Diana.
"Go, Driver, Go" Diana gasped in desperation. A slumbering man in the front sprung to alertness. There was a subtle smell of alcohol in the air, but everyone was drinking champiegn. The wheels of the cab screeched and it was speeding off before the back door was even closed.
"We have to switch limos." Charles said, "This one will be the decoy."
"No." Diana objected, "There is not enough time."
One, maybe two cars were now following them. "Faster" Diana cried, "faster"
The limo drifted around a corner into an underpass. All they can hear was a honk of an approaching car followed by the scraping of metal. The next seconds went by slowly the pillar becoming larger in their sights. The driver crossing his arms desperately trying to turn away.
Diana and Charles grabbed each other. It was the first time they had made physical contact besides a handshakes since their divorced. The car made contact with the pillar and rebounded violently. All that was left was a crumpled mess, no survivors.

A week later Queen Elizabeth II watched from a terrace as two caskets paraded by her. One or her former daughter-in-law who she considered very much her own. The second was for her firstborn son, Her heir, her blood. She felt a pain in her arm. This pain spread to her back and jaw. She could feel her heart palpitating. She turned to a mourning Andrew and said.
"I am not feeling well." The Queen fell back in her chair and went limp.
