According to People Magazine, Richard Kay was the last person to speak to Princess Diana on the telephone on the night that she was killed in a tragic car accident in Paris. The royal reporter is now opening up about his last conversation with Diana, and what she talked about just before her passing. "I spoke to her that night. [The] police said that the last call she made was to me," Kay says in the upcoming "Diana" documentary, which aired Thursday night in the U.K. Kay claims that Diana was in a "good place," but she was eager to "come back and see her boys." The journalist admits that although Diana was happy, she was looking forward to starting a new chapter in her life. "She was desperate to try and make a fresh start and do something different, to explore a different kind of royalty," Kay says.
The documentary comes just days before Diana's sons, Prince William and Prince Harry are set to reunite in the U.K. for the unveiling of a statue in honor of their late mother. The event is said to be held on July 1, which would have been Diana's 60th birthday. "It will be an emotional day, but it will be a tribute to a much missed and much loved sister, mother, etc," Diana's brother, Charles, Earl of Spencer, previously stated of the upcoming ceremony.
