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.

She was at best a divisive figure and arguably a walking punchline in the run up to the accident and absolutely on a downward spiral. Just go back and look at contemporary satire. I still remember Paul Merton muttering "overblown tart" every time her name was mentioned on Have I Got News For You.

I struggle to imagine any industry being particularly bothered about being criticised by her. It would be like Katie Price having a go at a company today. It was only through her death that her reputation had a complete 180.

how come she was switched off life support so swiftly - bang - pronounced dead,

She was never on life support. She died very quickly after the accident because of a catastrophic ruptured blood vessel in her chest. There was no life support machine to withdraw because there was no time to get her to and onto one in the first place.

People make this shit up!

prior to her death the media coverage of her holiday with Dodi was invasive, critical and voyeuristic. Then came the accident and suddenly she was an angel in human form taken from us because we didn't deserve her.What happened to her and the others who died in the crash was horrific and tragic but the whole county went bonkers. It was a very strange time

Well exactly. This is the problem with conspiracy theories, they fall apart pretty quickly and you would need thousands of people in on it, who never ever say anything to keep the secret. It's just not feasible.

What would she be doing if she were still alive - much the same as she did in her life. Lots of good charity stuff, but also being a difficult person, picking up and dropping friends, hanging out with Michelle Obama, falling out with family members and being the MIL from hell to her daughters in law, doting granny to the grandchildren. Probably onto husband No 3 or 4.

I am Eastern European and it saddens me to read what she went through and has been so hated before her death

Sorry if someone else on this thread has shared this video before me, but it absolutely has to be done.

OP, it's an insane theory that makes no logical sense whatsoever.

Oh come on ! Princess Diana was permanent on front covers even in Australia. She was the the world’s most photographed woman & married to the heir of the British throne.

Ref your point on landmines, not a reason to assassinate her: disarmament.unoda.org/anti-personnel-landmines-convention/#:~:text=The%201997%20Convention%20on%20the,Anti%2DPersonnel%20Mine%20Ban%20Treaty.

Those that do still use them are non state actors and those not signed up. The UK signed the treaty in 97 which I know looks hmm given they did it a month after she died but the work was in motion well before.

Also yes to the Mitchell and Webb clip!!

She wasn’t pregnant. She’d been on holiday with a close friend the week before and she apparently had her period. So that’s rubbish.

She wasn’t even that attached to Dodi. She was using him to make the surgeon she was in love with jealous, I’ve read.

Indeed, there is no logical reason to think she was killed deliberately. Esp at the behest of Prince Philip!

FAR better and more decisive methods would have been used if that was the case (see the Mitchell & Webb vid as above). And her death almost caused the collapse of the monarchy initially, so would be a massive own goal really. Her relationship with Dodi really wasn't as claimed. She was panicky, yes, which you can understand. But very silly mistakes were made, esp by the Al Fayed lot, regarding her safety.

To those saying "this is like MLK, RFK and JFK", it really isn't. Because we KNOW all of those were literally assassinated. That there were plans and everything. We know all of those men were genuinely politically important and changing things massively (Diana wasn't remotely in the same way. She was tabloid fodder and immensely troublesome, but they would have known following their own protocols the tabloid interest would burn out and die down in the end). There was a video in JFK's case, there were witnesses, there were discrepancies and oddnesses, there are far more questions to ask. Lee Harvey Oswald, his background with Russia, and the Jack Ruby thing. Even MLK's family don't think James Earl Ray was the real culprit. So the likelihood of cover ups or "murk" here is far more salient than bloody Diana. I felt sorry for her (and Charles in a way, though he'd treated her very badly). it was an ever escalating mess, and a horrible shock when she died, but that's what happens sometimes in life and messy situations, I'm afraid. Emotions are high, corners are cut, accidents happen, people get hurt.

Political assassinations are something else entirely

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

She had been in a serious relationship with a Muslim for two years before she got together wth Dodi.

Before she died, the papers were full of rumours that Diana was pregnant.

And Diana herself denied it, as I recall.

To those saying "this is like MLK, RFK and JFK", it really isn't. Because we know both of those were literally assassinated. That there were plans and everything. We know all of those men were genuinely politically important and changing things massively

And RFKs assassin is still alive and well and living in jail somewhere.

She wasn't. I am reading some of these comments and I thinking very hard about that time because it really was not how I remember it. She was not suddenly liked because she died. I think for the most part, people were just reading the papers and thinking good for her for enjoying some freedom. The world was shocked when she was killed because she was so, so famous still and so well thought of. Controversial, yes - but still very famous and still receiving tons of press coverage.

I don’t understand why people think the royal family have the sort of power it would take to get someone killed. Who do they think the royal family instruct to commit mass murder? Mi6? The army? As if these services murder princesses because the royal family aren’t keen on then 😭

that don’t have this sort of power in the uk

even if they did- you think Tony Blair would’ve agreed to it? Murder of an innocent woman because she was on the cover of hello too much?

She was but a lot of the time the stories told were not all that positive about her, many took on a sneery tone.

Just because someone is in the news a lot doesn't mean they were universally loved.

Whether the op was or not - There were immediate questions about whether it was an accident, this isn’t a recent conspiracy, people were asking the same questions at the time. It did seem like a strange set of circumstances whether by design or coincidence.

Has anyone posted this yet? Think it sums up the theory really well

Kindly OP, get a life!

I think I would consider there to be a chance that the accident was staged if it had taken place in the UK. But she was in France, and there would have had to be collusion with the French authorities, which makes it thoroughly unbelievable.

'It would be like Katie Price having a go at a company today.' That is a million miles away from the truth.

She was on front covers because she was the tall, pretty, recently divorced Princess of Wales, cavorting around the Riviera with a playboy who was engaged to someone else.

That doesn't mean she was always admired or respected.

Perfectly put

Look the woman was a serial attention seeker who took a totally unnecessary journey knowing how many photographers were outside, got in a car without putting on a seatbelt, having ditched her very high end palace security who’d have advised her differently, and didn’t wear a seatbelt and the driver was drunk.

It’s really not a terribly big coincidence that it all ended in disaster

I don’t think it was about a treaty. I think it was that she had a place at the table and power & was able to steer the media wherever she wanted. Her media power was able to swiftly outrank what politics usually controlled. Maybe it was about the bigger picture. All of a sudden she wasn’t a Princess but a woman with a hugely influential voice and one that prioritised humanitarian efforts, not politics….

That is why I felt drawn to this human tragedy," Diana said during a speech in June of 1997 about her trip. "How can countries which manufacture and trade in these weapons square their conscience with such human devastation?"
