Flowers began to appear en masse outside Buckingham Palace after the world learned of Princess Diana’s death. The loss of such a great royal figure infuriated and overwhelmed the public. To pay their respects, people came from all around the world. This outpouring of grief persisted for weeks as people attempted to come to grips with Diana’s unfortunate demise.

But, considering what Charles did shortly after, many people looked to Her Majesty for guidance.
