Diana Being Alive Kept Charles From Remarrying
When Prince Charles and Princess Diana got separated, she sent a note to her butler saying: „I am sitting here at my desk today in October, longing for someone to hug me and encourage me to keep strong and hold my head high. This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous—[someone] is planning ‘an accident’ in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry.“ So it was sure that she thought her death was being planned at that time. She also added that Camilla was „nothing but a decoy“ and that Charles had intention of marrying a woman named Tiggy. The last prediction didn’t come to life, since Charles married Camilla.
Diana’s Boyfriend Wasn’t Approved By The Royal Family
Diana’s boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, was a son of an Egyptian billionaire. His father, Mohamed Al Fayed claimed that Diana and Dodi planned on getting engaged and that she was expecting his child. There were claims that the royals didn’t want Diana, as the mother of an heir to the throne, to marry a Muslim. Blood test revealed that Diana wasn’t pregnant at the time of her death, and the Operation Paget found that Dodi hadn’t bought an engagement ring as it was claimed.
Diana’s Pregnancy Was Hidden By A French Doctor
The negative pregnancy tests didn’t convince everyone. The embalming process had to be done quicky because of Diana’s injuries which caused her death, but some people thought that it was done surprisingly quickly. The truth is there was nothing unusual about that.
Diana’s Driver Was Working For The Secret Service
Richard Tomlinson, a former MI6 officer, claimed that a foreign politician was assassinated in Paris in an eerie similar way like Diana, and that he had seen intelligence files for that assassination. That led to rumors about Diana’s driver, Henri Paul, giving informations to MI6. On the other hand, Tomlison had a reputation of leaking secrets and trying to ruin the organization, which were the reasons MI6 fired him.
The Secret Service Led Diana’s Car To The Tunnel, Then Blinded The Driver
The usual route from the Ritz hotel to Diana’s boyfriend’s apartment was followed until the driver took a strange diversion past one expected turn. There are people who believe that the slip-road was purposely blocked by MI6, which forced Paul to head to a tunnel. Once he arrived, a bright light flashed causing him go blind and crash. Investigations showed that the car had been driving too fast, so it wasn’t able to go down the first slip-road. Allegedly another vehicle fled the scene, but the eye-witnesses couldn’t decide which, because some claimed it was one motocycle, others saw six, some saw a black car, and some a white one.
Diana Was Being Watched By The U.S. Government
Next to the rumors about MI6 involvement, there were the ones about the CIA and National Security Agency’s. It was claimed they were tracking Diana’s calls and had 39 documents related to her. CIA did have 1,054 pages worth of information about the princess, but none of those were related to her death. The tracked call by NSA was between Diana and the Brazilian Ambassador’s wife, but not because of Diana, but because of the Ambassador’s wife.
The Driver Wasn’t Actually Drunk
Some people don’t believe in official reports claiming that the driver had an alcohol in his system. Those people are convinced that Paul was framed, and that the the samples used in forensic tests didn’t belong to him. Four different samples showed that Paul’s blood-alcohol levels were three times the legal limit in France, and there were no indications that the samples didn’t come from the driver’s body.
The Medical Treatment That Could Have Saved Diana Wasn’t Given To Her
Princess Diana was still alive when the ambulance came. She had been kept at the scene for a long time, and on the way to the hospital, the ambulance carried her to a hospital which was father away from the scene of the crash, comparing to the one they passed without stopping on its way. The truth is it was a common practice in Paris to treat patients on-location before getting them to the hospital. And the first hospital the paramedics passed wasn’t equipped to deal with Diana’s injuries.
The Bodyguard Was Aware Of The Diana’s Death Plan
Dodi Fayed’s bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones survived the car crash in which Diana, Fayed, and the driver died. Apart from other claims, Fayed’s father had one about the bodyguard. Fayed believes that Rees-Jones knew there was a plan to kill Diana, and did nothing to stop it. Allegedly Rees-Jones was threatened with death, so he had to agree to cover up details of what happened on that day. The truth is there were threatening calls and letters Rees-Jones received, but he wasn’t much concerned about them and reported them to the police.
Unsafe Conditions Were Purposely Set Up By The Paparazzi
Paparazzi chased Diana right before the accident, which made some people believe they were part of the conspiracy. A year before the crash, Diana sued one photographer claiming he’d crashed into her car during photo op chases and that he was trying to harm her. The Princess won a restraining order against him. The driver probably was speeding to escape the paparazzi, but the Operation Paget didn’t find murder intentions on photohraphers’ parts.
