Introduction: The Unanswered Questions Surrounding Diana's Death
The video starts by highlighting the immediate aftermath of the car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, which resulted in the death of Princess Diana. It emphasizes the numerous unanswered questions and conspiracy theories surrounding the event. The official explanation attributes the crash to excessive speed, alcohol, and drugs, but many people, including Muhammad Al-Fayed, believe there was more to the story. Diana herself had expressed fears about British secret service operatives, and some believe her concerns were justified. The video aims to explore these conspiracy theories and examine the evidence that supports them.
Paul Burrell's Perspective: Abandonment and Lack of Protection
Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler, suggests that the royal family's abandonment of Diana after her divorce from Prince Charles left her vulnerable. He argues that she was released into a dangerous world without adequate protection. Burrell draws a parallel between Diana and Jackie Kennedy, suggesting she sought someone like Aristotle Onassis to provide safety and care. He views Dodi Fayed as fulfilling this role, offering her a secure environment and the ability to travel freely.
Alan Power's Allegations: Royal Family's History of Murder
Alan Power, the author of "The Princess Diana Conspiracy," claims that the British royal family has a history of orchestrating murders to maintain power. He cites historical examples, such as the alleged poisoning of Caroline of Brunswick, the wife of George IV. Power asserts that the royal family will do whatever it takes to stay in power and that Diana's death was no different.
Events Leading to the Crash: Diana and Dodi in Paris
In the summer of 1997, Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed toured the Mediterranean on the Fayed family yacht, sparking intense media speculation about their relationship. On August 30, they arrived in Paris and planned to stay at the Ritz Hotel, owned by Dodi's father, Muhammad Al-Fayed. Despite her divorce, Diana was entitled to royal security but chose to use Al-Fayed's security team instead, led by Trevor Rees-Jones. Diana distrusted MI6 and feared that royal bodyguards would report her movements to Prince Charles. While in Paris, Diana expressed her desire to return to London and see her sons.
The Engagement Speculation and Royal Family's Disapproval
Many believe that Diana and Dodi's trip to Paris was for Dodi to pick up an engagement ring. Muhammad Al-Fayed claimed that Diana told him they planned to marry in November. Michael Cole and Alan Power believe the British royal family would have been unwelcoming to the idea of Diana, the mother of the future king, marrying a Muslim. They suggest that this potential union could have created an "alternative royal family," which the establishment could not allow. Some theorists propose that MI6, with its mandate to protect the state and counteract militant Islam, might have seen Diana's potential marriage to a Muslim as a threat.
The Night of the Crash: The Fatal Sequence of Events
On August 30, 1997, Dodi and Diana's plans for a romantic meal were disrupted by paparazzi. They retreated to the Ritz Hotel and later decided to leave for Dodi's apartment. Henri Paul, the deputy head of security at the Ritz, was instructed to drive the Mercedes-Benz S280 to evade the paparazzi. A decoy vehicle left from the main entrance, while Diana and Dodi departed from the rear entrance around 12:20 a.m. The paparazzi caught up with the Mercedes, and Henri Paul drove faster to escape. Just before entering the Alma tunnel, Paul swerved to avoid a slower car, grazed it, and lost control of the vehicle. At 12:23 a.m., the car crashed into concrete pillar number 13 in the tunnel at approximately 100 kmph.
The Aftermath: The Scene and the Victims
Following the crash, paparazzi rushed to the scene, some taking pictures while others tried to help. Dodi Fayed appeared to be dead, and Henri Paul was declared dead upon removal from the wreckage. Trevor Rees-Jones, still conscious, suffered severe facial injuries. Police arrived at 12:30 a.m., and Diana was removed from the car at 1:00 a.m. After going into cardiac arrest and being resuscitated, she was transported to the hospital, arriving at 2:06 a.m.
Diana's Death and Paul Burrell's Visit to Paris
Princess Diana was pronounced dead at 4:00 a.m. on August 31, 1997. Paul Burrell traveled to Paris to identify her body. He describes the emotional experience of seeing her lying in bed, covered by a white sheet, and feeling as though she was merely sleeping. Burrell recalls Diana's belief that the soul remains in the room after death, finding some comfort in the idea that she was still present. He reflects on her warmth, compassion, and the impact she had on people worldwide, emphasizing her title as "the people's princess."
Reactions to the News: Michael Cole and Others
Upon hearing the news of the accident, Michael Cole immediately contacted Muhammad Al-Fayed, who was arranging to travel to Paris. Cole then contacted Princess Diana's stepmother, Raine Spencer, who informed him of Diana's death. Cole describes the shock and grief he experienced upon learning of Diana's passing. He then contacted the Ritz hotel in Paris and traveled to London to manage the press interest.
Conflicting Reports and Scrutiny of the Ambulance's Route
Conflicting reports emerged regarding Princess Diana's condition immediately after the crash. Some reports stated she was not badly hurt, while others indicated severe injuries. The amount of time it took for the ambulance to reach the hospital has been heavily scrutinized. Some theorists speculate that Diana's injuries were worsened inside the ambulance to ensure her death. Paul Burrell recounts being handed a bag of Diana's blood-soaked clothes, suggesting a violent scene inside the ambulance. The ambulance took an hour to travel a short distance to the hospital, passing two other hospitals along the way.
Eyewitness Accounts and the White Fiat Uno
Eyewitnesses reported seeing numerous cars and bikes surrounding the Mercedes as it entered the Alma tunnel. Some claim to have seen a white Fiat Uno collide with the Mercedes. Alan Power believes that assassins, possibly SAS or SPS troops on bikes, were responsible. He also suggests that individuals were waiting in the tunnel to ensure Diana's death. There are claims of a red mark on Diana's thigh, possibly from an injection.
The Stolen Computer Chip and Other Suspicious Circumstances
The Mercedes-Benz S280 involved in the crash had been stolen at gunpoint a few months prior and returned in pristine condition, except for the missing onboard computer chip, which controls navigation, acceleration, steering, and braking. Mercedes offered to inspect the car three times, but authorities prevented them from doing so. The remains of the car were later released to the UK in pieces, making investigation impossible.
The Embalming of Diana's Body and Allegations of a Cover-Up
Muhammad Al-Fayed alleged that Diana's body was deliberately embalmed shortly after her death to prevent a postmortem pregnancy test from producing accurate results. Operation Paget, a metropolitan police inquiry, found that Diana's body was stored in a hot room, and the embalming was carried out without proper authorization under French law. Alan Power claims to have spoken to a doctor who saw a fetus in Diana's corpse, suggesting she was pregnant.
Diana's Paranoia and Fears for Her Life
Diana's paranoia had been growing for years, and she was suspicious of telephone bugs and tracking devices. She wrote a letter to Paul Burrell in 1993, predicting she would die in a car accident orchestrated by her husband. In 1995, she met with her solicitor, Victor Mishcon, expressing fears that her husband wanted her out of the picture and was planning a motor accident. Mishcon's notes about this meeting were not initially shared with the French inquiry by police commissioners Paul Condon and John Stevens.
MI6 Involvement and Richard Tomlinson's Claims
Richard Tomlinson, a former MI6 agent, believes the crash was a planned assassination using a method previously generated by MI6 to assassinate the former president of Serbia, Slobodan Milošević. This plan involved using a strobe light in a tunnel to disorient the driver. Tomlinson was sacked from MI6 and later arrested multiple times while trying to share this information. He was also scheduled to be on Swissair Flight 111, which crashed, killing all passengers.
Mysterious Deaths and the Driver of the White Fiat Uno
James Anderson, a paparazzi photographer who was stalking Diana and Dodi before their deaths, was found dead in a burned car with what appeared to be bullet holes in his head. The official story was suicide, but some believe he was murdered. Anderson owned a white Fiat Uno, and forensic tests confirmed that a white Fiat Uno collided with the Mercedes carrying Diana and Dodi. Richard Tomlinson suggests that Anderson was an informant for MI6.
Henri Paul's Intoxication and Blood Sample Controversy
Blood samples taken from Henri Paul showed high levels of alcohol and carbon monoxide. Muhammad Al-Fayed believes the blood samples were switched as part of a cover-up. The carbon monoxide levels were so high that Paul should have been suffering from severe symptoms, yet CCTV footage shows him functioning normally hours before the crash. Some theorists suggest that the blood was taken from a recently deceased person who had committed suicide by gassing himself in a car.
Alan Power's Experiences and the Suppression of Truth
Alan Power claims he has been followed by MI6 since writing "The Princess Diana Conspiracy." He believes that speaking the truth is a revolutionary act in a time of universal deceit. Power argues that there is no true democracy in Britain and that the power to control and prevent people from speaking out is always retained.
Conclusion: Lingering Questions and the Search for Truth
The video concludes by stating that many people believe there was a criminal conspiracy to end Princess Diana's life. It suggests that her death was convenient for many and that she and Dodi Fayed were killed. Despite the passage of time, many questions remain unanswered, and the truth about Diana's death has been suppressed. The video expresses hope that the truth will eventually come to light, as it did in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
