Controversial Diana memorial fund to close after 14 years

It began with an outpouring of grief around the globe, as the elderly dipped into their pensions and children donated their pocket money to honour the memory of Princess Diana.
But the controversial Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund set up after her death in 1997 is to close after donating more than £100million to 350 good causes, the Daily Mail has learned.
Despite reports in 1998 that the influential fund would continue indefinitely, a spokesman last  night said it was ‘never intended to last for ever’.
