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.

Prince Philip arranged it as she was a loose cannon and an embarrassment to the royal family

Yes, Prince Philip arranged to be teleported to the entrance to the tunnel with an extra powerful ray gun which he’d been taught to use under conditions of total secrecy by a Russian scientist (who apparently hasn’t been seen since).

Coincidentally (or is it???!) DH shared this very relevant video with me a few minutes ago

It was Phil the Greek who ran them off the road in his Black Cab.

Exactly. The sea of flowers and crowds of mourners were coincidental.

I don't really think she was killed, but I do agree, that if she had been, it would have been easy for a coverup to be arranged.

Now David Kelly, on the other hand, I think might have been murdered.

He wouldn’t get his hands dirty himself, that’s just crazy talk 🤣

This is always my question. It has been generally accepted that she wouldn't have died if she was wearing a seatbelt. If I were going to assassinate someone I certainly would use a method that would ensure that they were going to die and would not rely on them choosing not to wear a seat belt.

No of course she wasn't. She died in a particularly stupid accident. She wasn't very intelligent and I don't think she was that fantastic as a mother either. The weird stuff she used to do wandering around that hospital to see the surgeon, can't remember his name, or those bizarre gym photos that she seemed to have a hand in releasing. All very embarrassing.

She was a very damaged woman and it was definitely not her fault that she was picked out to marry an ageing Prince at 19, but lots of people manage to make good lives with access to as much support as she had.

If that was the case, it was very risky as there was no guarantee that she would be killed. There's just too many variables for it to have been planned. What if she had worn her seat belt that night?

It was a tragic accident but people find that hard to accept.

🍿

No not deliberately, I think she just would have been very social and gorgeous.

Guess I just don’t understand how there’s opinions like this that are medical and stories in the Guardian but everyone is so sure there’s nothing dodgy.

Opinion that Henri Paul’s blood test was “cooked”

Agreed. Don't know why people are still so fascinated

Exactly! If someone really wanted her dead a sniper probably would have made more sense 😆

I definitely don't believe it was an accident

Most high profile accidental deaths are never accidental

May she rip

I think there was some sort of cover up and perhaps she was killed.
If she had been shot or similar people would have demanded answers. But there were convenient variables that meant nobody would ask questions. There was something off about it all.

Believe whatever you want. Anyone who cares about the evidence should read Unnatural Causes by Dr Richard Shepherd (forensic pathologist) who was directly involved in the case.

Yeah, if you were going to do it, you'd need to make it look like an accident.

If she wasn’t killed what’s the risk ? They deployed a tactical driver that was experienced with a flashing light. It’s probably not their first rodeo. I suppose with Ogliarchs even they bump them off it’s usually a fall off a balcony or they suddenly die of an illness at 33. They weren’t going to throw her off a balcony - too many questions and too much security. I think the car accident made a lot of sense because the paparazzi are a group of hazy people and fluid. They could blame it on the press, the princes could be angry at who they already hated it. It makes sense to me.

OP, you're getting fairly short shrift which is par for the course. Do I think she was killed? I really don't know. Do I trust the crown/British government? Not one iota. It's plausible she was bumped off.

I happened to catch a documentary about the Beatles once they'd gone their separate ways the other night and listening to John Lennon being as vocal as he was about Vietnam got me thinking about that too. We'll never know.

Have you watched the Lockerbie drama on Sky Atlantic? The British government is not the truth seeking, justice driven entity people willingly defend. And don't get me started on the US.

Back to Diana, though. 1997 was a very different landscape. The mother of the future monarch was running around with a playboy Muslim who had a very vocal father, who could have been a right thorn in the side. In certain circles that was beyond the pale.

Is there a reason you've not linked to the inquest verdict that his judgement was impaired through alcohol and that this was one of the causes or contributing factors? Since that article is about just one piece of evidence submitted to the inquest.

Totally agree.

Of course she wouldn’t be as popular now, she’d be an old and wrinkly lady. People don’t ‘see’ older ladies, let alone listen to them.

Plus I think a faked suicide after she’d been diving off a yacht and laughing with photographers would have been hard to believe.

Why do you even care?

Not sure how it was engineered but I have a feeling it was on purpose.

She wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and the driver was drunk. Simple as.

Yes she was probably a bit of a nuisance. And yes the press will have made driving (when drunk!!) a nightmare. But those are the reasons.
