Well of course I knew her personally @Chrissy Page I was her "birth" Mother and she shared everything with me.
Well why didn't you say so in the first place, Babs. Happy Aprils Fools Day to you, too. I did look her up just now out of curiosity and it seems she died in 2004 at the age of 68. Brain cancer. Diana died the same year as my father and grandmother, also the year my daughter married and we moved to Hungary for 6 yrs. 1997 is a year that I always use to put things in perspective since so much happened that year for me.
Okay Miss Babs..I can guarantee you that I didn't comment to sidetrack your thread to start with...I stand by the comment I made and even if I had known it was a Conspiracy Forum I think it's a valid answer The blackberry cobbler was a good- natured peace offering..not a party. I think your admonishment about reading thread titles is a bit much. I think we are all grownups here and nobody was trying to hijack the topic at hand.
And to everyone else this is just a discussion in which I state my truth in believing there was a conspiracy against Diana that ended up with her "murder" by the Royals. No one else has to agree with me or believe what I believe. I base my conclusions on what I have been researching since the first time Charles ever came into Diana's life. I have followed this whole life story from the beginning to the end because it interested me from the very start. So I do know a lot about all of this. I also know that the Royals have had scandal, etc. in their lives since the first Royalty sat on the throne ages ago. Some didn't even bother to try to hide what they did...others have tried their best to cover up theirs. I did ask the question and I appreciate all your answers but I was looking for a little more discussion on this topic than I got here. It just goes to show that what interests one person doesn't necessarily interest another and while some of us may like deep discussion...others just like to skim the surface. It's all good and some of each is always enjoyable.
There was no admonishment intended...just some humor on my part. For those that didn't get my "sense of humor" I hope you will next time.
Well, I am of a a split belief here. I don't think that the Royal family were behind her death, why bother, she was now divorced from Charles, he and she could do whatever they wanted with whomever they wanted. However, that doesn't mean that I don't think she wasn't murder. To me this was indeed a tragic accident but one that could definitely been avoided. There was zero reason for all the paparazzi to be out there stalking her in such a fashion as to be literally following her car down a highway. I was hoping that this would change the way the press could pursue celebrities, but instead because the driver had been drinking he was made the scapegoat for the whole tragedy while the press got off the hook. Seriously, this was just so wrong and again could of been avoided.
Well there was one problem even though she and Charles were divorced. The man Diana was in love with and probably also was pregnant for...was not suitable to the Royal Family to be a husband of the mother of the heirs to the throne.
Well being a ' limey' myself, it seemed at the time to massively unsettle the country and make the Royal Family very unpopular, so the actual result of Diana's death was the opposite to what would be wanted if the establishment ordered her death. I agree with those who have said it was a sad accident. After all there was evidence Dodi al Fahad's driver was an alcoholic and drunk at the time of the crash.
@Harry Kemp The evidence is that he was 'not' drunk on that night Also her security would not have allowed a drunk to drive her anywhere
@Patsy Faye I think the evidence is equivocal; I thought it was a fact the driver had a drink problem and, having known professionally and privately many such people, they have a gift for denial (that they have a problem) and concealment (being aware of the need to attempt to hide their drinking). Possibly the pursuit of Diana's car by journalists made an accident more likely, but I sincerely doubt all the conspiracy theories. As I have already said, Diana's death did serious damage to confidence in the establishment. I know Wikipedia is hardly an impeccable source, but it is usually accurate on the main details and there it is clearly stated Henri Paul had been drinking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Paul
@Harry Kemp Hi Harry - we will all have our opinion on this subject, initially yes - the Royals did look bad in their handling of her death but - the public were swayed later on and all forgiven I read a book by an investigative journalist with good contacts, it was a thorough read and instilled serious doubt on the events We will never 'know' of course - its a case of who you believe .............
@Patsy Faye, Hi Patsy, absolutely in agreement with you. You're totally entitled to your opinion. We can never know for sure what happened. He may well have been an innocent man besmirched by the media looking for a scapegoat. However, for me, that would mean a lot of people were mistaken or lying. I remember reading two biographies of Hermann Göring. One portrayed him as a man with promise, misled by Hitler, the other "mit dem Teufel an der Wand", painted him as the devil incarnate. From what I can remember both were written by reputable authors
