Sky TV broadcasts Diana crash photo

A photograph of Princess Diana receiving medical treatment at the scene of her car crash has been broadcast uncensored on UK TV. On 31st August, Sky News broadcast a report about the medical treatment Diana received after the crash, taken from American television channel CBS News, which included an image of her at the crash scene. (The CBS report was titled Could Diana Have Been Saved?, originally broadcast on 30th August.) Sky later apologised, saying that they had not pre-vetted the CBS report and would not have broadcast it had they known of its contents.

The Sky broadcast represents the only uncensored availability of the image in the UK. Previously, it had been reproduced by Channel 4 and The Sun, though on both occasions Diana's face was obscured. It has been published uncensored in France and Italy.
