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.

Queen Elizabeth still refused to wear a seatbelt, even after Diana's death

Had Philip arranged it then it wouldn't have been done abroad under foreign jurisdiction, it made no sense. The simplest explanations are usually the best, drunk driver and a rackety boyfriend.

@JudgeJ It did happen abroad. Diana died in Paris.

Except she didn't.
The reason that you don't see former arms dealers taking in ironing and shopping in the Asda is that nothing affects arms sales.
People love killing people, and especially blowing them into little bits, that is why the arms trade remains such a delightful source of cash for the nutters.
The Princess Of People's Hearts (Copyright A.C.L. Blair) drew attention to the scourge of landmines, but she had no effect on their actual sales.

I never imagined Prince Philip as being religious (despite being married to the head of the Church of England), that is an interesting fact I’m taking from this thread. Agree with you on your second point!

I was 8/9 when Diana died and feel as though I’ve pretty much lived my entire life listening to complete idiots insist that the RF “had her killed”.

Exactly…

Quote from Independent article, link above,

“It seems to me she had planned various visits. She had already been to Angola, she was going to Cambodia later in the year.
"She was going to set up an institute for the victims of the land mines that had been exploded."
He added: "A large number of land mines had been manufactured by the British and I think, and a witness who knew her well claimed, that she had an exposure diary in which she was going to expose the people most closely involved in the British arms trade. It seems to me that is not unrelated (to her death)."

I was about to entertain the possibility, but then remembered I've been binge watching Slow Horses...

There was nearly a ban on landmines in some countries. It was being negotiated. And them Diana died, and the negotiations ceased.

When you get future thoughts like this, take your left wrist in your right hand, and kindly, get a grip

True, Private Eye published the Saturday night articles about her that were pulled when they had to remake the headlines and they were not complimentary.

I didn't see the sea of flowers nor the same mourning when the Queen died. She also hasn't been elevated to the status of a saint.

Thanks, I did not know this.

lol, this was the opinion of some chauvinist communist men, that the Royal Family could not bear the fact that she went with a muslim and killed her

Agreed. People in general did respect the Queen and were sad she died. But lots of people loved Diana.

Good lord people of course she wasn’t killed. I despair.

I remember reading an interview with someone who worked with him and he would write little letters to his staff at Christmas on spiritual and religious issues.

And has nobody concluded that Harry would have been spilling the beans on this! It's a far huger story than anything else that anyone in his family has ever 'done' to him, so he'd be talking about it, wouldn't he? Or at least mentioning the fact that the other thing his disfunctional family did to him was MURDER HIS MOTHER.

Are you Eastern European , dear poster

She didn’t wear her seatbelt, which was stupid and illegal. Of course she was reckless.

Before she died, the papers were full of rumours that Diana was pregnant. Diana's internal organs were removed before she was transported to Britain, and whether she was pregnant was not officially revealed.

Queen Elizabeth did the same. Even after Dianas death.

Exactly, I was saying that were it a Philip plan it wouldn't have been abroad, it would have been in the UK giving a greater control of the aftermath.

That's interesting. I wonder whether people were more measured about QEII as she was so respected and dignified. Diana was emotionally expressive. The seas of flowers and sobbing strangers were perhaps a response to Diana's very different personality.

Oh dear

That is one big rabbit hole you're going down

And nothing will change now.

No I just happened to be reading about the vast amount of Ogliarchs that have died in the last few years. There’s a whole list of them and gosh there are a lot of suicides if rich Russians. I guess that’s what got me thinking about this.

The paparazzi at the front of the pack - the ones there when the crash happened were never actually identified were they?
