Numerous conspiracy theories were inspired by the shock of Princess Diana's death, and many people still believe that she may have been the target of a plot.
Princess Diana of Wales passed away 25 years ago following a car accident in Paris' Pont de l'Alma tunnel. Her passing sparked an international outpouring of mourning and media interest. The royal family was criticized heavily in the public response for what many perceived as an impersonal attitude to the unexpected death of the Prince of Wales' ex-wife.
Numerous conspiracy theories were also generated by the shock of Princess Diana's passing. Many people still believe Diana may have been the target of a conspiracy decades later.
Princess Diana's Death Conspiracy Theories
Conspiracy theories enable individuals to make sense of chaos by locating evidence, coincidences, and a culprit in unanticipated events like deaths or accidents.
Conspiracy theories have been popularized by celebrity deaths, especially Princess Diana's. While various particular details about the events leading up to the tragic crash may be at the center of conspiracy theories regarding Princess Diana's death, many come to the same conclusion that she was murdered by the royal family or the British government.
A mind wired for conspiracy will claim that these were intentional steps taken to deteriorate Princess Diana's illness or conceal murderous proof. As is frequently the case with conspiracy theories, the reality is banaler. Based on all the information at hand, the Paget investigation concluded that Princess Diana's death was the consequence of a sad accident, not a plot.
Insider rumor can take the place of unquestionable evidence when it is lacking. For instance, the royal family was accused of murder by Mohammed Al-Fayed, the father of Dodi, Diana's lover who also perished in the collision. Operation Paget followed, which disproved the allegations but did not satisfy many conspiracy theorists who are skeptical of all official proof.
Conspiracy theorists employ a variety of evidence, such as alleged premonitions and psychic forecasts. Based on the disclosure of a letter she allegedly wrote to her former butler Paul Burrell that allegedly stated: "My husband is arranging "an accident" in my automobile," some have speculated that Princess Diana predicted her demise. Additionally, Diana's spiritual advisor allegedly forewarned her that someone would interfere with her brakes. There was no support for these assertions in the Paget probe.
Before her passing, Princess Diana stated that certain members of the royal family "saw me as a threat" in the infamous 1995 BBC interview with Martin Bashir. No matter how unsettling or startling these premonitions and insider accounts may seem, they do not, by themselves, disprove the hypothesis that she was murdered, according to STAR.
Former Bodyguard Believes Princess Diana Died Not of Car Accident
In the meantime, Lee Sansum, Princess Diana's former bodyguard, has written a new book on his experiences protecting the most well-known person in the world. As a member of Mohamed and Dodi Al-security Fayed's squad, Sansum developed a close bond with the princess when Dodi and Diana started dating in the summer of 1997.
When Princess Diana and her two kids, Prince William and Prince Harry, visited Mr. Al-Fayed at his vacation home in St. Tropez, he was tasked with taking care of them. Sansum wasn't at work on an awful night that Diana and Dodi perished in a Paris vehicle accident.
The former protection officer disclosed his theories regarding Princess Diana's demise in an interview earlier this month. When Sansum found out that they weren't buckled up during the collision, she stated, "I understood why they didn't survive. I've insisted on it constantly."
The close protection specialist noted that the Al-Fayed family routinely wore seatbelts because Mohamed mandated it. Rees-Jones was reportedly wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, but some sources assert that none of the other passengers were.
Two investigations-one conducted by the French police in 1999 and the other by the Metropolitan Police in 2008-both concluded that Mr. Paul was to blame for the incident. The British investigators also found that the pursuing paparazzi contributed to the crash.
After the accident, conspiracy theories abounded, with many people thinking that it wasn't only an accident but also murder. Sansum claims that although the princess' death was not planned, the fact that intelligence services were tracking her before the incident may have contributed to the catastrophe, Express reported.
