It is my belief that she was not.
However, the accident that happened in the Alma Underpass in Paris on the 31st
August 1997 must have
come as a heaven-sent piece of luck for the Palace. Di was a loose cannon who
would have continued to haunt "The Firm" as long as she was alive.
I can imagine that some of the senior 'faces' drinking a toast to Henri Paul
after the event.
Diana was chosen to act as a baby-machine to produce the next generation after
Charles. But it is pretty clear that Charles did not choose Diana; a faceless
bureaucrat was the moving force behind that marriage. And Di was a good-looking
young woman who fitted almost all the requirements. Almost all, but not quite
the lot. The one thing that she had missing, was the ability to take the marital
insults lying down. She was just too human !
It isn’t necessary to repeat all the sordid details, these have been gone over
ad infinitum. Her attraction to Dodi Fayed was, in the opinion of my wife, a
young woman seeking true love. Not that I believe she would have got that love even had she
married that man. She would have found that the Muslim culture just as depressing
as the British Royal culture.
And why do I say that she was not assassinated by the Royal Family? I’ll tell
you why.
The Royal "firm" is VERY VERY efficient. As a family firm they put almost all
the others to shame. The suggestion of "getting rid of Diana" was probably
mooted, but I cannot believe that the faces in the shadows would have risked
such a hazardous venture in a foreign country. Just look at the planning that would have been
required. And the options for error were enormous. Just think about
it, setting up a car crash that would prove fatal to Diana. None of the
occupants of the car would have been in the plot. The reported dazzling
flash might well have blinded the driver, but remember that the paparazzi
followed Diana wherever she went. And don't underestimate those lads, had
they seen anything slightly untoward, they'd have been on to it like
flash. And what a scoop had one of them got any evidence that the crash
was an arranged job. No, it's just too far fetched!
The French are not our greatest
friend, they got rid of their royalty two hundred years ago, and are not
particularly enamoured with our lot. They are polite, as to be otherwise would
look churlish, but can you imagine any Frenchman discovering a plot to give
Diana the chop in France, being ignored? I can’t.
And just think, had the plot become known, it would have been the end of our
monarchy. And a lot of well-paid jobs would have disappeared. The French have just as much a sense of vicious humour as we do,
and they'd have had a ball of a time at the expense of the Ross Biff.
No, I just do not believe that the powers behind the throne would entertain such
a risky venture. And that little Fiat that was never traced. If the driver
learned that he was being sought, he’d have been a fool and a half to have
volunteered his presence to the police; so he just kept his head down and waited
for the fuss to die down.
No. Diana died in an accident, if you call being killed by a drunken driver who was being pursued by the Press-pack, "an accident".
December 2006 update
And we now have it officially; a government Law Officer has decreed that IT WAS
AN ACCIDENT, not that I always believe what the Blair Brigade say!
January 2007 update
Diana's inquest is due soon. I think the government called on Lady Butler Sloss as the person to run the inquest as she is probably the most highly thought-of judge of the whole batch. No-one would suggest that she could be "got at". There are still a few people in high places that command public respect. This is another reason I believe that Diana died in an accident. Mohammed, you're wasting your money trying to show that "the firm" assassinated her.
3 September 2007 (the 68th anniversary of the start of WW2)
Lord Justice Scott Baker, no matter how thoroughly he does his job, will never convince Muhammad Fayed that the deaths were an accident. On one thing, as I said above, there were probably ideas mooted to do just that, but even if some clever MI5 chap managed to engineer the crash, the chances of killing Diana were far from certain. I like conspiracy theories, but they have to be plausible; this one isn't
