Which theories, dismissed by many as conspiracy theories, do you regard as the truth?

At the time of her death, there was a campaign by the Royal Families pr to get the public to accept Camilla. When she died it had to be put on hold for a long time.
There were public concerns about the impact of Diana's actions on her kids. I think many people forget how the public mood was beginning to turn against her.

I guess it's cause while she was alive, he was a divorcee. But there aren't rules about divorcees marrying and the throne, are there?

Now of course he's both a divorcee by law and a widower by religion - but it's not his previous marriage that was a problem religious/monarch-wise anyway, it's Camilla's? Hence her now being duchess and not a princess?

I would like to know what happened behind the scenes with the Queen and the Paul Burrell court case.

Same. She's supposed to have said something along the lines of "There are dark forces about, of which none of us know anything." Although if none of us know about those dark forces then how does she know they're around??

I think the main reason Camilla goes as duchess and not princess (although she technically is), is because the title Princess of Wales has become so associated with Diana.

crunchymint · 20/02/2018 12:14

I don't trust anything Burrell says.

mrsnolasco · 20/02/2018 12:14

I think Tupac Shakur is still alive. So much doesn't add up at all.

Graphista · 20/02/2018 12:19

Royal family not particularly intelligent themselves, no, but they are surrounded by advisors and people who do see how things are going and who's job it is to preserve the monarchy. I wouldn't put it past these type of people to decide that Diana was a threat and needed dealing with. That they'd perhaps already tried bribery and blackmail and she wouldn't go for it so they decided best she weren't around at all. These type of people do have the power and connections to arrange such "accidents".

Savile I agree and now Weinstein are tip of the iceberg. But those that have presented them up to be the face of those evils haven't bargained on the continuing investigations and victims coming forward. Pandora's box is now open and can't be closed.

I think if you find conspiracy theories offensive you should just leave this thread alone and get back to your chosen method of brainwashing.

Graphista · 20/02/2018 12:20

And I think Charles marrying Camilla while Diana was still alive - ie as a divorcé rather than as a widower - was problematic for the future monarch and head of c of e.

crunchymint · 20/02/2018 12:21

Anyone remember the allegation that Price Charles was found in a sexual act by a servant?

crunchymint · 20/02/2018 12:21

with a servant

Graphista · 20/02/2018 12:24

Not heard that one crunchy but let's face it, hardly a new thing for royalty. They're not known for reining in their desires are they.

ExFury · 20/02/2018 12:26

Camilla is a Princess. She's HRH The Princess of Wales, but is known by the Cornwall title because public opinion of her was low enough without her "stealing" Diana's title.

Pittapatter · 20/02/2018 12:27

I find it interesting that Charles was such good pals with Saville, surely anyone allowed into the inner sanctum of royalty as JS was would have had their background thoroughly checked out?

NameChanger People only find SOME conspiracy theories offensive. And I agree, anyone who thinks Sandy Hook never happened, and that loved ones didn't really lose their children in a mass shooting, and they are making it all up for some reason, are spouting nonsense and are being offensive to those people.

I agree with crunchymint the tide was very much turning regards Diana and the mass hysteria surrounding that made things far worse in terms of Charles marrying Camilla. And the backlash against the Queen for daring to stay in Scotland to look after her grandchildren was appalling. Yeah, definitely a good move on their part to bump her off. It's clear from correspondence between Diana and Phil the Greek that things between the family and Diana weren't anywhere near as bad as they were made out to be (it may have been bad around the time of the divorce but it was certainly much better later on).

I don't believe for one minute it was planned. The route was changed umpteen times, how would someone have known that route, that they'd not be wearing seatbelts etc etc. Even if it was planned, it would have been some pillock who thought they were doing the right thing. The family themselves wouldn't have "ordered" it or known anything about it, nor wanted it.

ShatnersWig · 20/02/2018 12:34

Oddly enough, I live only a few miles away from where the Wests lived. I have never ever heard of any Saville connection (I also have friends who worked at the BBC when he was there). Seems rather unlikely to me. The modus operandi totally and utterly different.

crunchymint · 20/02/2018 12:36

The thing about Prince Charles was reported in a tabloid at the time. It would not surprise me.

See that sort of thing makes you look really stupid.

Why not look for evidence, facts, science and logic? Is that so unreasonable to you?

I'm still wondering why you said T.May led the remain campaign (umm, she didn't) and that Cameron wanted Brexit all along (no evidence of that whatsoever)?

crunchymint · 20/02/2018 12:39

I think it is obvious that neither Boris or Theresa wanted Brexit.

Elendon · 20/02/2018 12:39

Crunchymint everyone knows who the royal is it's not Charles

Please don't PM me on this. I, like others, will not reveal the open 'secret'.

Bodicea · 20/02/2018 12:42

I reckon the America moon landings didn’t happen when they said they did. A documentary pretty much convinced me.

I reckon Diana was killed - possible pregnant with her Muslim lovers son?

JFK - the head shot was by his own people accidently.

Elendon · 20/02/2018 12:42

And it wasn't reported in a Tabloid either. The press are never going to release it.

Perhaps you are thinking of the toothpaste scandal?

TM was parked in the remain camp for good reason - her unpopularity. As was DC. I don't believe for a minute that she is an actual remainer. Nothing she has done before or after the referendum has convinced me otherwise. I am looking at the evidence.

When I said 'lead' I meant she was a member of the government (a leader). She was fairly quiet about the side she was on for good reason. She could end brexit if she really wanted to. She would not usually give two shits about the 'will of the people', except in this case the will of the people is exactly what she wants too.

I understand it is hard for some people to come to terms with the fact that they have been manipulated. I think accepting everything you see on the news and in the newspapers at face value is very stupid. The establishment lie and manipulate all the time. Look at the evidence i.e. history.
