Official: Diana's death 'simply an accident'by STEPHEN WRIGHT, Daily Mail 07:08am 6th March 2006


I wish this investigative report about the death of Princess Diana would finally "put to bed" conspiracy rumors once and for all. Of course the ignorant types will never be convinced no matter how much evidence is shown to the contrary,( just look at how many Americans still believe that there was a conspiracy to kill President John F. Kennedy, or that there is an ongoing conspiracy to hide the discovery of alien bodies from a UFO crash at Roswell, N.M. LOL). It is as it always appeared to most thinking people , a terrible accident due primarily to driving while intoxicated. Were it not for the fact Princess Diana was involved, it might not have even made page 5 in the local Paris papers, sadly, just another drunk driver wrapping a car around something. The Royal Family must have been terribly embarassed by talk that they ordered Diana's death, sure it was no secret that they didn't like her, but that doesn't mean they wanted her dead. They probably would not have been too concerned had she married Dodi, or anyone else for that matter, because while she ran around acting like a trashy trailer park tart she was 'news', but as the wife of a nobody she wouldn't be quite so interesting. Any scandals probably would've eventually died down. And let's face it, if she had lived down the street from most of us her antics over the years would not have been half so interesting, she'd long ago have been labelled "white trash" and socially ostracised.

Hopefully the legions of her blindly adoring fans have by now long since come to their senses, and few are very interested in her or her story any more. While never a particular fan of hers, I did feel sorry for her. She always appeared a sad figure to me, two dimensional, someone I did not admire but instead pitied. That so many who did not know her seemed to admire her so much for so little reason says something about the power of the media in our society. That someone could appear to have everything in the world, but in reality have nothing at all, says something about her.
