Below is an article from issue 22 (Autumn 1997) of Common Sense on the
topic of Death of a Princess.
Diana: Death of a Princess
Whilst the elaborate
funeral arrangements calmed the unprecedented public response to
Princess Diana's sudden death - a mixture of shock, sense of loss
and rage at the establishment - they also ensured that the actual
happenings on that late evening in Paris were not discussed further.
Many ordinary people in Britain openly question the tragic accident
version, but only the foreign media dared to make mention of other
possibilities. Other European media reported conspiracy theories
floating about the internet and dismissed them as irrelevant.
Non-European media in many cases talked openly of a plot to get rid
of the princess who had become an embarrassment. Whilst proof is
hard to come by, with witnesses taken care of by the highest
authorities, too many pieces of information do not add up, and it is
certainly not difficult to detect a motive. It must certainly have
been a most unhappy time for the Royal Family and the British
establishment to hear of Diana's intention to seriously get involved
with an Arab, whose father had not long ago been denied British
citizenship. That she gifted Dodi al-Fayed her late father's cuff
links should indicate that the relationship meant more to Diana than
a temporary acquaintance. One could hardly imagine the heirs to the
throne, princes William and Harry looking up to and possibly living
with a, at least nominally, Muslim step-father.
The scenario had arisen
once before, when Princess Diana had not yet been divorced, but had
a friendship with a Pakistani heart surgeon, Hasnat Khan. The Muslim
News revealed that based on that relationship a novel had been
written by an ex-SAS man, Barry Davies, telling the story of how
right-wing extremists were plotting to kill Diana for bringing the
country into disrepute by marrying a Muslim, who in the book Royal
Blood is named as a Dr. Khan. The book was due to be published by
Virgin later this year, but has now been withdrawn. A further motive
was provided by her upsetting many powerful people with her campaign
against land-mines, and it is said that she was going to turn
attention next to the plight of Iraqi children dying by the
thousands due to UN-sanctions.
The unanswered questions
remain: Why were security arrangements changed on very short notice
with the princess and her lover departing in a single limousine
instead of being accorded the usual protection with three cars. Did
the recent repairs to the car's steering wheel, after alleged
vandalism, have anything to do with it getting out of control. In
the early stages there were reports of the speedometer being stuck
at a certain high speed, those reports were later retracted. People
near the tunnel heard a loud, explosion-like sound. Photographers
who tried to assist the princess were stopped from doing so by
police. Photographers who arrived late at the scene were still
arrested, maybe to make sure that they wouldn't divulge what they
had witnessed. As there were allegedly so many photographers, there
must be ample film footage of what really happened. None of the
material has ever been released, and no release of material has been
demanded, probably due to the hyped outrage against photographers
who were made the scape-goat. According to some French papers there
was another car travelling in front of the Mercedes trying to force
it to brake just before it entered the tunnel. There were later
reports that parts of another car that might have collided with the
Mercedes were found at the crash site. None of these facts
re-surfaced after they were first mentioned. Experts from Mercedes
Benz had offered after the accident to assist with the crash
analysis. There offer was rejected by French authorities.
Then there is the
question of what happened to Diana after the accident, as apparently
she sat on the floor of the car talking to a photographer, and she
remained conscious during the two hours it took to cut her out of
the wreckage, yet she was said to have suffered such severe injuries
that necessitated the ambulance to drive so slowly that the 7-mile
journey lasted a whole hour. However, when arriving at the hospital,
her condition was not listed as critical. The condition was only
recorded as critical four hours after the crash, and within ten
minutes from then she is said to have died. The course of death
given was cardiac tamponade, which means that there was severe
pressure due to excess fluid in the vicinity of the heart, allegedly
from a ruptured vein in the left lung, but this condition would not
have permitted her to stay alive for four hours. Nor was she put
onto a heart-lung machine during that time. Her body guard
eventually survived, but cannot remember anything. It is quite
likely that he would not survive the recovery of his memory at a
later time. Seeing that the full facts around the death of J. F.
Kennedy are still speculation and the cover-up continues, we shall
have to wait for a long time to get answers to those
questions.
