Was Princess Diana murdered?

Have read a lot about this theory (much of it by the arch-conspiracy theorist, David Icke, but to be fair, several people sem to agree with him this time!)

The theory is basically as follows. The MI5/MI6/Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh (or perm any 1, 2 or 3 of them in any combination, according to who you believe or don`t) didn`t want Diana to marry Dodi Fayed because any children they subsequently had would be half Muslim, thus if they ever became heirs to the throne the Anglican link dating back to Henry VIII would be broken. So they engineered a car crash, by (again, you take your choice, I`ve heard all of these suggested tampering with the car brakes; spiking the chauffeur`s drink; having a driver coming in the opposite direction flashing a huge spotlight into the chauffeur`s face to temporarily blind him and make him lose control of the car; having a white Fiat Uno clip the royal Mercedes just sufficiently to make it lose control and hit the post at very high speed; etc etc.

Oh, yes, and this can allegedly be `proved` by unexplained amounts of money being paid into the chauffeur`s bank accounts just before the `accident`; and by the fact that only 1 occupant (who I presume must have been working in cohorts with the assassins) was wearing a seat-belt at the time of impact, contrary to regulations - apparently he de-activated the seat-belts of the other 3 by remote control. Diana herself was `seen` by some in a distressed state, wandering about in the tunnel. And so on.....

Any ideas or comments or extra info. most welcome!

IF the royal family were involved in this harebrained convoluted scheme, they would have found a more certain and professional method. more bollocks.

This is unbelievable!
Everybody knows that it was Santa Claus who clipped the car that night, it has been said that Rudolph had been out on the tiles that afternoon and had had one too many Martini's.
Of course, the magic pixies cleaned up any evidence with their magic pixie dust!

[Bothwell]

What utter B******s. Enough already. Take a powerful car, too much speed, a pissed driver, no seatbelts and a concrete wall, that is the magic formula for a fatal road crash. For God's sake there was no conspiracy and even if the part of the population (alien abductees, Daily Mail readers) that believes there was who cares?

[john8pies]

Oh, does the fact that the video cameras which went all the way from the hotel to the tunnel were out of action for the only time ever during that fateful journey make any difference then???!!!

[Bothwell]

No they don't she is still dead.
The surete, Scotland Yard, the Met Police, The British and French Governments, countless investigative reporters, amateur sleuths, the French Judicial system, the British Judicial system between them have come up with NO proof of any conspiracy. My guess about the TV cameras is that they were "disabled" afterwards to stop copies of the tapes falling into the hands of such august journals as The National Enquirer or the News of the World.

The French of course would do everything they could not to expose a British Royal Family scandal!!!!!! are you kidding, most French magazine editors would joyously hack off parts of their anatomy to have such a thing, if they have it publish and be dammned !

My point is that any fact dredged up by anyone that was indisputable regarding a conspiracy would be worth millions commercialy, not one of the many alleged co conspirators of investigators with knowledge of what "Really" happened has come forward, why? because there is no conspiracy.

Prince Philip was seen running away from the scene wearing a Ronald Macdonald costume.
Well it's more believeable than some other stories I've heard about it.

The fact is if you drive at 100mph through a narrow tunnel there is a good chance of an accident, and that's all it was.

You talk about 'Princess Diana'

Allow me to correct an oft-repeated mistake.

There was no such person.

I suspect you mean the lady whose official title was 'Diana - Princess of Wales'

She was not 'Princess Diana' as she was born a commoner and, as such, could never become a princess even when she married a real Prince.

Upon her marriage she was granted the honorary title of 'Diana - Princess of Wales' by royal decree and deliberately not 'Princess Diana'

As to the conspiracy thoery - what rubbish!

Read Bothwell#4 for some common sense!

[john8pies]

This may be technically accurate but she was always known by the British people at least as Princess Diana ; it wasn`t until her divorce from Charles that she was `rebranded` as Diana, Princess of Wales.

The conspiracy theory may in your opinion be `rubbish` but a simple google! search along the lines of `Was Princess Diana murdered?` will show that a lot of people seem to think it.

I note your footnote, "America the Beautiful, Land of the Free` - I totally agree with you, and one thing America is famous for is the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights guaranteeing Freedom of Speech. Or do you think this only applies to people who have similar views to yourself?

[turbonium]

I agree with you, John. All of you out there - this is a CONSPIRACY forum here - if you don't agree with the theory, at least post civil and intelligent rebuttals - to write everything posited as 'a bunch of tripe spewed out by nut-jobs' does nothing but bring the forum down into the gutter. John has researched the issue, and has his opinions based on such. If you disagree with him, you have every right to do so, but it would be much more productive if your comments are based on valid information. It makes it a lot more informative for others (like myself) who know very little about the controversy and would like to learn more, both pro and con!!
