To think Princess Di was killed

[Lavenderfarmcottage]

There OK I said it. You hoo, crazy conspiracy theorist over here…

Yes, I know they had an inquiry though anyone high up enough to kill a Royal could snowball an Inquiry or influence the outcome ? I think it’s naive to think the law is this perfect thing.

Ive always found it odd that she was labelled a “loose cannon” by the press and was campaigning against landmines. It was said that it caused a lot of noses out of joint in politics. I would have thought that weapons dealers and the industry would have taken a huge hit.

There aren’t many celebrities or organisations that could have taken on the weapons or arms industry as powerfully as Diana. It was until then an issue that nobody touched.

Since her death there’s still landmines and the issue has never really been addressed.

I wonder if she’d been alive today what she’d be doing. Not hard to imagine her visiting children impacted by war and maybe even Palestinian refugees, beaming images around the world to restore some sanity and humanity.

I dont think we realise the humanity, bravery and brilliance she had. Could have been going to glamorous events and being a Princess but instead she was carrying on even when powerful people were upset.

I wonder how powerful those people were or was it someone British. Men don’t take a liking to women with power and it amazes me more that she wasn’t killed deliberately in the context of this.

What are the chances she would die at such a young age and to not be wearing a seat belt seems bizarre to me. Just too many coincidences.

So they found an assassin (the driver) who was willing to get himself killed as he killed her? (And didn't think he could maybe lessen the chances by wearing his seatbelt)?

Impossible to arrange a car crash and be sure what the damage to the car or its occupants will be. If someone wanted to kill her they'd have her shot at long range and hope everyone would think it was just some lone nutter with a weird obsession.

And much of that is documented by the paps who continued to take photographs.

Or is evidenced by the testimony of multiple French paramedics (and their dispatchers). Now, how do you replace the entire French fire and ambulance blue light services with ones who will not only violate their professional standards but also all tell the same lie about was going on. Plus of course none of the office or other admin staff who draw up the rosters came forward to suggest anything hooky had happened. Or were they in on it too?

All set up at about a week's notice (when Diana's other holiday was called off) with no certainty that she'd transit Paris on her return journey, or that they would leave the Ritz after dinner.

As many that were negative as positive. On the day she died the Sunday Times ran a story about how her behaviour manifested mental health problems including a personality disorder, and of course she did suffer from mental health problems. Obviously we should all view them with sympathy and empathy but the tabloids and their readers have never been long on that. They would hardly have run that if it was going to piss off their readers. She went from attention seeking mad drama queen to saint on that day. And indeed both things can be true, in the sense of her behaviour could be admirable but also frequently was not.

@Emilyontmoor can you provide a link to that article? Because I have read a lot of coverage before and after she died and have never read that article.

Once again, she was NOT pregnant! She had her period whilst on holiday with her friend the previous week. Why do people keep on repeating this suggestion? Whatever her announcement was going to be, it was not that. We’ll obviously never know.

Probably because it crashed into a pillar.

Hysterical that people think a car crash that killed 3 had another car involved that was “never found” 😂😂 where do people read this nonsense

The assassin wouldn't necessarily be the driver.

Because the press in the week before her death were publishing rumours she was pregnant.

I think the traffic camera was faulty in the tunnel, which made it harder to piece together events.

I understand what you're saying but if he was a functioning alcoholic he could still hold down a job (for a time) and drink. I had a male friend whose tolerance of alcohol was very high. He could drink a quantity of alcohol that would make me giddy and starting to slur my words (and switch to coffee) but have no effect on him. Eventually, his alcoholism caused his death. His car had no fewer than 6 bottles of mouthwash in it. Also, they say that Vodka has little to no smell?

What was the announcement that she was going to make?

We do not know as she never made it

oh god, not this again. Let the poor woman rest in peace!

It's strange re the timing... I was a child and tbh never met her and no interest but remembered family members who all died now saying strange timing and in France.... She wasn't wearing a seatbelt from memory....

That she was Team Meghan

This is not true. I have just checked and The Sunday Times did not print a story on this day saying that.
You may have got mixed up with a story two years after her death where an author of a book was claiming this.

I don’t think she was pregnant but I’m fairly sure it wasn’t an accident either

Totally with you OP, I’ve always thought this

They pulled it from later editions and I suspect Murdoch must have paid a lot to make sure it does not resurface with googling. However my parents took the Sunday Times and I read it that morning. It was one of those “an expert Psychologist writes” and cited all the more attention seeking behaviour as symptoms.

.....Or switch cars at the hotel in Paris to try and throw the Paps off the scent...

Was all rather convenient wasn't it.

Yes. She was killed by getting into a car with a drunk driver and failing to put her seatbelt on.

Quite. Also people seem to be forgetting that she’d been with Dodi for a matter of weeks. He was a fling, a means to get her in th limelight, to be seen mixing with wealth.

Also worth remembering that she was the OW in that relationship as well as he was already involved with someone else.

But let’s pretend that they were some kind of magical couple destined for a lifetime of romance after six weeks.

Honestly the way people have painted the narrative of this fling is bizarre.

Edited because I’m a plonker who doesn’t read posts properly
