In Paris, a car pursued by paparazzi speeds into the Pont de l'Alma tunnel and crashes. Eight weeks earlier, Diana lobbies for an official role in the royal family through Prime Minister Blair, but the Queen rejects the idea. Diana takes her two sons on a yachting holiday in the South of France, at the invitation of Mohamed Fayed. Meanwhile, Charles prepares to throw a party for Camilla's 50th birthday; he petitions the Queen to attend, knowing it will win approval for Camilla, but she refuses. Dodi travels to France at the insistence of Mohamed, leaving behind Kelly (his fiancée), and is shocked to see Diana, who gets the photographers to leave by posing in a bathing suit, upstaging Camilla's party in the newspapers and infuriating Charles. Dodi invites his Kelly to Saint-Tropez but keeps her in a smaller yacht, away from Diana. Dodi confides to Diana that he is reconsidering marrying Kelly, and they bond over the difficult relationships they've had with their fathers. After hearing of the party from Margaret, the Queen tells Charles that she is happy that he is happy. Dodi tells Diana that she will always be welcome. Returning to Kensington Palace, Diana finds a note from Dodi inviting her to join him in Paris.

* CelebrityParadox: Invoked when Dodi, presumably in an attempt to impress William and Harry, claims that he can take them to "meet Franchise/JamesBond". He, being a film producer, presumably means he can pull some strings to arrange for them to go to see the filming of ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'' which was released in December 1997. In that film, the villain was played by Creator/JonathanPryce, who plays Prince Philip in the fifth and sixtgh series of this show [[note]] in addition to which, one ex-007, Creator/TimothyDalton, has appeared in ''The Crown'' (as Peter Townsend in the fifth series episode "Annus Horribilis") [[/note]].
