On her desk, Lady Diana kept a rosary given to her by Mother Teresa

Did Mother Teresa know that the rosary she had given to Lady Di accompanied her to her final resting place?

The hours following the death of the princess were reported in great detail in the Daily Mail. On the night of August 30-31, 1997, when Paul Burrell, Diana's butler, learned of her tragic death from Kensington Palace in London, he was tasked with bringing items dear to Diana to the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, where the princess had been taken.

Devastated, he went to her Kensington Palace apartment, "looked around Diana’s dressing room, and found the item he was looking for". Burrell remembered that he walked over to Diana’s writing desk and took the rosary beads that had been draped over a small statue of the Virgin Mary and put them in his pocket. The princess had received the rosary beads earlier that year as a gift from Mother Teresa, when the two women met in June in New York City.

When he arrived at the hospital, Colin Tebbutt, Diana's driver, gave the precious rosary to the nurse and asked her to place it in the princess's hands. The rosary she held in her hand had also been joined by a photo of her sons, a photo which travelled around with her and had been found in her handbag.
