Apparently, The Person Who Owns The Car That Princess Diana Sadly Passed Away In Would Like It Back
It would be an understatement to say that Princess Diana of Wales was one of the most famous people in the world.
Not only was she a princess, but she was a doting mother, activist, a 90’s fashion icon, and more. To this day, people of all generations know of Princess Diana and have seen her impact in all kinds of ways.
When she tragically died in a horrific car accident in France 25 years ago, the world was stunned. She was only 36 years old.
Recently, the UK news publication The Mirror released an ‘exclusive’ report and interview with Jean-Francois Musa, the owner of the car that the princess had died in. He says that he wants it back.
At the time of the accident, Jean-Francois ran a company called Etoile Limousines, which had a contract with the Paris Ritz hotel, the hotel that Diana’s partner Dodi Fayed owned.
Jean-Francois still claims that the car is legally his and that he wants it back.
“I have no idea where the car is,” he told the Mirror. “All I know is it is legally mine, and obviously, I want it back. It should have been returned by now, but that hasn’t proved possible. I always owned it outright. It wasn’t subject to any financing.”
The car, a Mercedes-Benz S280, is now worth approximately 10 million British pounds, equal to over $11,500,000.

Jean-Francois intends to display the vehicle in a United States museum to “honor Diana” if he gets it back.
However, the Mirror writes that the royal family has indicated in the past that they would prefer for it to be “disposed of discreetly.”
The current location of the vehicle is unclear. The Mirror writes that in 2017, the car was being kept in a shipping container within a police car compound outside of Paris.
When reporters from the Mirror went to check it out, a worker told them it was no longer there and that they would have to ask the Mayor of Paris where it was. They could not get an answer from the Mayor’s office.
The car is the center of many conspiracies regarding how exactly Diana died. Many believe it was just an accident, that the driver was driving recklessly, and some think that it was more of an assassination. Nonetheless, it is still completely heartbreaking.
When asked what he would do on the 25th anniversary of Diana’s death, Jean-Francois told the Mirror that he would spend it outside of Paris, in a different part of France.
“It’s a sad day,” he said.
