“We’ve seen how tragically that ends,” Clooney continued, giving reference to Princess Diana’s tragic death in a car crash in 1997. Many personalities, including Prince Harry, have blamed on the paparazzi. The actor also spoke out against paparazzi and tabloid media in an emotional speech days after the princess’ death.

Just seeing them broadcast a letter from a daughter to a father, she’s getting a raw deal there and I think it’s irresponsible and I’m surprised by that.”
