Everything that was discovered inside Princess Diana's time capsule that she buried 34 years ago

All the items from Princess Diana's time capsule, which she buried 34 years ago, have been unearthed.

It was 28 years to the day on August 31 that the world went into mourning in the wake of Princess Diana's death.

The People's Princess died at the age of 36 in a car accident in 1997 while fleeing paparazzi in Paris, France.

But six years before her tragic demise, Diana buried a time capsule in the walls of Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where she was president, in March 1991.

Now, 34 years since the lead-covered wooden box was contained, with the view to dig it up hundreds of years into the future, it has been uncovered after the hospital tore down the wall as part of its renovations to build a new Children's Cancer Centre.

The premise was to capture what life was like in the 1990s.

At the time, two young children, then aged 11 and nine, had won a competition on the British TV show Blue Peter and had selected 10 items for the capsule.

According to The Times, the capsule had suffered some water damage but most of the items were intact.

The man who helped to choose items to go into the capsule when he was 11 years old, David Watson, who now works at the University of Exeter, has revealed why he chose a Kylie Minogue CD to go inside the historic artefact.

"I chose the CD because technology was advancing so quickly at the time, mobile phones didn't even exist," he said, as per the BBC.

He also said the youngsters chose items which reflected the rise of the technological age as well as important issues.

For example, the sheet of recycled paper was picked because 'the world was only just starting to think about and realise the impact we were having on the planet and global warming'.

"Lastly the passport was actually the first ever European Passport created, and I chose this because of the way the UK was starting to work more with Europe as a single continent for the good of each other," he added.

Watson also recalled his meeting with the Princess, saying: "She was extremely nice, and what I do remember of the day was that she was so down to earth, knew my name, put her arm around me, and spoke to me as if it was an exciting day for both of us and we were on the same level."

He said that she was 'saying things like "what do we do next, where do you think we should stand?", I am sure she knew all the answers to this, but it made me feel very at ease the way she approached it with me'.
