I Investigated Princess Diana’s Death:
Here’s The Real Story You Won’t See
In ‘The Crown’

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 11/17/2023 6:49:34 PM

As Netflix launches its final season of “The Crown,” focusing on Princess Diana, her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, and his billionaire father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, many viewers will be retold the story of Diana’s shocking death through TV news flashes. Personally, I remember getting the news in a phone call from the White House. When Diana and Dodi were killed in Paris, I was working at the American Embassy there. A career FBI agent, I was assigned to Paris as the legal attaché, meaning I was the U.S. government’s official liaison with French law enforcement. Later, my private work as a consultant would draw me more deeply into the investigation of the tragedy.

Looking up Henri Paul's blood alcohol content, one finds that "the range of alcohol consumption needed to reach the 1.8 grams per liter in Paul's blood would be eight to nine drinks on an empty stomach, more if he had eaten." (Washington Post, September 1997) His blood also contained fluoxetine (Prozac), as well as another drug in his system. In other words, before the Mercedes Bends incident, Henri Paul was fried to the eyes, should not have been behind the wheel, and tried to outrun the paparazzi. I didn't know that Dodi Fayed was thrown twenty yards out of the car. Henri must have had the pedal to the metal.

Thanks, but investigation not required. She was a kept woman killed by a drunk driver.

Maybe. Baker's "investigation" involved speaking with everyone who had already stated there was no conspiracy, which is what he already believed. If there was a conspiracy by M16, those are the exact same people the Crown would have ensured either knew nothing or would keep quiet at risk of dire consequences. We'll likely never know. But His Highness, King Whatshisname, is a giant t**d, and the English upper class have way of getting what they want.

If it were a conspiracy MI-6 would have concocted a better plan than that. Any James Bond film shows a myriad of ways to create a mysterious and unfortunate death.

Very interesting. But a few things I heard on the news the night of the 'accident.' (And I followed it for hours.) First off, it was reported that Henri Paul was not drunk. His blood alcohol level was normal. Then an hour or two later, suddenly he was drunk. I will always believe the original version. Another thing, it was rumored Diana was pregnant. Prince Philip would not allow a sibling of a future King of England to be a muslim. I've always believed he was behind this.

Just because Henri Paul didn't appear drunk before the accident, doesn't mean he wasn't. Alcoholics can appear sober with significant amounts of alcohol in their systems, amounts that would render a normal person nearly comatose. Paul's blood-alcohol level wasn't determined until the autopsy hours after the accident. Al-Fayed had a good reason to try to muddy the waters on Diana's death - his employee was seriously drunk and drove the death car in a single-car accident, meaning that Al-Fayed could have been sued for millions for Diana's wrongful death. It may be tempting to blame the royal family for her death, I doubt they would have tried to kill her, and if they had, they wouldn't have done it in such a clumsy fashion.

Diana's murder came at a time when her relationship with Dodi was heating up. No way in he** the RF was going to put up with that. I believe Philip, Charles and Camilla arranged the "accident" with approval of the dear Queen who hated Diana. I can't prove it but my gut tells me this is true.

I think it really was an accident. If Diana married that Fayed guy, the bond between England and his Saudi Arabia would be better when the UK needed oil.

Yeah, I've joined the "this article was a waste of my time" club. However, I do think at some level the RF was involved. Many years ago, I watched a YouTube video in which a former MI6 agent delivered a deathbed confession indicating that he had some involvement in planning Diana's death and that Prince Philip gave the order for it. It could have been an accident but will we ever know for sure? Unlikely. But I hope it was an accident --- imagine her sons coming to the realization that their father, grandfather etc. had a hand in their mother's death. William's trust, reliance, and love for his father might be irreparably damaged; as for Harry??--- another book deal and continued whining. IOW nothing much changes for him (However, if he's still married to the narcissist, she'll find other ways to cash in.)

If you know the background context, the latest developments in the Seth Rich laptop legal battle could be extremely interesting.

The bottom line of the latest development is that a judge has given the DOJ 14 days to turn over the contents of the laptop belonging to former DNC staffer Seth Rich. There are multiple points of information that point toward Seth Rich having downloaded the DNC email files and shared them with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
