Last Hours, Death, Transfer from France, Funeral and Interment

Thanks, everybody who answered! It's so strange - initially I bought everything in a state of shock and wanting some answers. Then I realized that maybe someday they might be worth something. NOW...they make me so sad and part of me wants to just close that whole event and not think about it and I would feel better if I knew someone who was really passionate about the history and life of Diana would want it and take care of it/and or appreciate it or use it. Before I list it on Ebay, if anybody here knows someone who would want it, I would give it to them. I live in California and in the US we can send boxes of literature "book rate." I don't know about the most cost efficient way to get things to Europe. If someone wants it from here, all I would ask is that they are really interested in Diana and that they would pay for the postage. Let me know, and in the meantime, thank you again for your answers!

I would very much like it if you don't mind. I live in Massachusetts

I believe that most of the Diana-souvenirs are not selling that good nowadays...but maybe you could give them to a person who is a Diana-fan,I am sure you will find someone in your area/among your friends? I would imagine they would be extremely happy about it and they would certainly treat your collected items with respect. Furthermore its seems to me that it would be more in Diana´s mindset to give the things to someone who really appreciates them than making money out of it. I do not know what you paid for all the stuff, but I would rather want to give my treasured collection to someone who appreciates it than selling it...Just my opinion,but of course you can do as you wish

 

[Magdalene]

I agree with you, Blauerangel, and I am very glad Hermoine here wants them. I will send them to her. I don't know anybody in my local area that is a Diana fan, so I thought I would find advice and interest here, which I did!!!

 

[nascarlucy]

With items relating to Diana, it seems like at times they sell really well and then not so well. Seems like it goes in cycles. The focus now seems to be on the royal baby, when the baby will be born, and what name the baby will be given.

Just came across these Full Coverage videos and a lump formed in my throat by just watching it-

Thanks

Thanks for posting the videos. I stupidly watched them on you tube a while back and had monstrous lumps in my throat then too. Just like Dianas wedding, I had a friend come over at 3 am. We had an English breakfast, scones, orange juice in fluted glasses and tea. I guess I eat my sorrows! LOL! But it was when they made formation behind her coffin that I lost it. Absolutely lost it. My dad came stumbling into the living room and saw all the women sobbing at such an ungodly hour and said "Oh brother!" and went back to bed.

 

[Valerie Rose]

I know. It was and is such an incredibly tragic and poignant event, for many reasons. That whole week and more is indelibly etched on my mind.

[Mermaid1962]

I wonder why they released a statement that there was new information before it was assessed? Honestly, my first thought on reading this article was "Here we go again."

 

[BritishRoyalist]

I have always been a little confuse about Diana Death. I was too young when she died but When I was older I always read and heard that the Driver was drunk and that cause the accident along with the paparazzi's chasing the car. I always thought it was cause by drunk driving (Negligent Driving) and not warring a seatbelt which caused the car to Swerve along with people chasing the car.

I am always confuse when someone says they hope the Truth will come out or be told some who say that it fishy or Suspicious.

So can someone please explain what 'Truth' there is that need to be told or why some think the whole thing is Fishy or Suspicious? I would appreciate it.

 

[royalistbert]

All this does is open up wounds for William and Harry. Leave it.

Yes, my first thought on seeing this was "Oh gosh, I hate seeing this dredged up again - let the poor woman rest in peace."

Of course, if there is some kind of legitimate information that changes what we do know about what happened, I would hope it would come to light, but in due course.

There is no "Truth" that needs to be told. Unfortunately, there is one part of the accident that some people seem to think "proves" there was a massive conspiracy to killed Diana. Before the car crashed, it apparently sideswiped a white Fiat Uno and knocked the mirror off.

Now most people would have stopped after another car sideswiped them and then crashed. As luck would have it, the driver of the white Fiat Uno didn't stop. The French police investigated and believe the driver of the Fiat was (IIRC) immigrant living in France illegally.

Additionally, Diana, who suffered from mental illness, sometimes claimed that Charles and/or Philip were planning to kill her in a car accident--she also claimed Charles was planning to kill Camilla. This has been investigated thoroughly in both England and France. There is absolutely no evidence of any plot to kill Diana.

TBH, the first thing I thought of is that someone's doing this "information" thing to ramp up Diana's image in the general public's minds before the movie "Diana" comes out.

I hadn't thought of that, but it's a possibility. It's also close to the anniversary, so that could be it too.

 

[Mermaid1962]

I think that police are pretty well obliged to investigate when someone says they have information. They haven't decided yet whether the information is credible. For all we know, the information might have come from the Al Fayed conspiracy machine or a "psychic." We'll probably know more if the source is found to be credible and the information could have a bearing on the findings of the investigation. However, if the information is part of a publicity stunt having to do with the upcoming film release, there'll likely be charges pressed for mischief.

[Dman]

In their 2007 interview, William & Harry stated that they don't think they will ever know the truth about what really happened that night and they still wonder about it and have questions.

I know the boys probably don't want this stuff to come up again but I do think they privately want answers and I think they deserve to know what really happened that night in Paris. I hope any new info could be of some help.

Former soldier of what I wonder. Also, why wait so long to come forward with this information? Seems to me that unless there is some hard evidence to back up what the claims are, its a lot of hearsay.

 

[Al_bina]

It would be fair to assume that the information in question is likely to be found irrelevant. If otherwise, it would be an entertaining reading and be funny to see the TRF loyalists having meltdowns on the issue.

The questions William and Harry may have are probably along the lines of: Why didn't anyone notice the driver was drunk, why Diana and Dodi didn't just pose for pictures before they took off, and whether Diana could have been saved if she had been taken to the hospital immediately. In other words, the same types of questions that any family member has after a loved one is killed in an accident.

Additional investigations will never answer those questions. I agree that the police have to investigate new leads, however faulty>

 

[Dman]

I think the information should be properly looked into and, if it's useless and nonsense, then it should be made known and thrown out. If it's good and reliable info, then they should get to the bottom of things and investigate further.

They may have tons of questions but I hope any new leads could be of good help to them, if possible.

Deep down I've always felt that there was a cover up of some kind.

 

[Mermaid1962]

That sounds like hearsay evidence to me. Former parents-in-law of a former soldier? My mind automatically goes to the ex-in-laws of Trevor Rees-Jones. He had been a soldier before he went to work for Fayed.

[royalistbert]

I wish they would not made this information public unless they know it's reliable.

 

[Mermaid1962]

Agreed. That's why it seems strange to me that they released it. Well, no one can accuse them of "cover-up" anyway.

 

[US Royal Watcher]

Deep down I've always felt that there was a cover up of some kind.

If someone powerful wanted to kill Diana, there would have been many ways to do it without raising suspicion. If I thought someone wanted to kill me in a car accident, I would make sure to wear my seatbelt.

If Diana had, she'd be alive today.

I agree, Diana should've worn her seatbelt. She always had a habit of wearing one and used to make sure William & Harry had theirs on when she and Charles took them out and about. Diana also used to wear her seatbelt when she was taken to official engagements as well. On that night in Paris, she didn't have it on for some reason.

That whole night was very fishy to me.
