A theory the outpouring of grief would be much larger if Princess Diana died today.
It's 25 years since the 36-year-old died in that Paris car crash.
Her death highlights the relationship between the crowd and the Crown, and how that has evolved with the Royal Family today.
Otago University anthropologist Dr Susan Wardell says social media might've enabled a more coordinated response en masse.
