I would have thought the people in charge would have taken multiple tissue/fluid samples of the princess simply because certain questions (specifically this one) would have not even been part of the diaglouge this many years onward. Anyway, her DNA profile would have been useful for storage for any questions of future descendants....and how much space would that take up in her medical records???

Now comes the news the letters from the DOE never existed....despite what Paul Burrell and Simone Simmons attest to what they have seen. Maybe the DOE might need to be compelled to testify. If the letters do not appear, that will be something I would find highly suspicious. Surely people like the Duke kept copies of his correspondence to Diana so it could not be disputed or twisted by her paranoia/moods in the future.

I also hope the inquest answers the question posed by Simone Simmons as to why the tunnel was washed clean after the wreck.

One could also ask Rene Delorm or any servants/stewards on the Jonikal or at any of the land residences if Diana drank any alcohol. Diana would not harm a pregnancy by drinking, imo.

There is no way for me to know, obviously, but based on my knowledge of the Royal Archives, I am guessing that most letters received by (and copies of those sent by) senior members of the royal family are archived in the Royal Archives. They archive letters by and for even senior staff, so I imagine the correspondence of senior royals is archived too.

One can assume if Diana had felt the least bit unsafe, she herself would have gotten away from Dodi, asap!

..Any of us who have ever been to Harrod's in England can attest to the stringent rules/store policy regarding proper dress and parcel handling and ubiquitous security cameras.
I would assume that at the very least a decent security man would tell you to wear your seatbelt.

And it's obvious to me that the al Fayed security wasn't very good (or that precautions were disregarded by the passengers), or this preventable accident wouldn't have happened.

-->The Telegraph: Dodi and Diana embrace before final journey by Gordon Ramsay, chief reporter
"With their arms wrapped around each other and their heads touching, Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed share a tender moment as they patiently wait for the car which was to take them on their final journey.
Less than five minutes after this CCTV footage was taken, Dodi Fayed was dead and Diana fatally injured after the car which picked them up from the Ritz Hotel in Paris crashed in an underpass."

Good God what a horrific crash!
But I still maintain that Dodi was only a summer fling, nothing more.

I don't think the Princess in any way did anything could damage her son future, getting pregnant or remary with dodi and as many peoples said, at that time dodi it just a summer relationship, we will never know if this relationship will go further but one for sure, her sons are above everything even for a man, and that it s only my opinion.

While the inquest is unlikely to change my own personal opinion of why the crash occurred, I have to admit finding it very distasteful to learn of so many very private aspects of Diana's life (pharmaceutical prescriptions in particular) becoming part of the public record. I feel so sorry for her family at the moment.

It's only because of Al Fayed's continued insistence that Diana was pregnant (and that the embalming in Paris was part of the conspiracy to "cover it up") that the inquest must go into such personal detail. Very unsavoury, but it's obvious Mr Al Fayed cares nothing about the consequences of his allegations.

That's life. It's messy sometimes. No, actually, what am I saying? Life is messy all the time. If you expect a life of pure dignity 24/7, you'll always be disappointed. Even where royalty is concerned, it's often splendid and great, but it's always messy! Especially anything about legal proceedings....

the footage of diana is erie to say the least...looking at it, it could have taken place yesterday. my issue is this...they say she was happy in the last hours of her life. i suppose if this footage were taken the same day it could be "her last hours" but in any books i've read there is the claim by some of the customers that were at the restaurant in the ritz that nite, where diana and dodi tried to have supper, that she was visibly upset even crying. this wouldn't indicate to me, a woman that was "happy in the last hours of her life". some media reports even say that in the footage of them going out the revolving door at the rear of the hotel, they are both visibly upset by what's going on.

If she was in her second trimester of pregnancy, as the Fayed/leopard-print-bikini picture theory implies, she could have had spotting. I guess spotting can occur at anytime in a pregancy and not only in the early weeks?

Just my personal opinion on the elevator/smiling picture: I don't feel or think that she seems pregnant here. That little pouch on her tummy, so well concealed in those pants, seems like her normal shape to me. --> The Daily Mail article/picture
Distasteful and intrusive as I always feel this particular discussion is, I would point out that, as Diana and Rosa obviously discussed her period on that holiday in Greece, then it would surely show that even Diana (if she WERE pregnant at that point) did not KNOW she was. And if the lady in question doesn't know, then how in God's name would the "establishment" know & decide she needed "doing away with"????

Yes, I am aware that pregnant ladies can have "spotting" or breakthrough bleeding and/or they might still be on the pill. BUT if Diana knew she was pregnant, she would be unlikely to talk to Rosa about a "period" - more likely to be getting in touch with a Doctor to check the problem. AND she would surely not bother taking contraceptives if she knew she was pregnant. Now we are back to my question above....if the lady in question doesn't know, how would those mysterious establishment assassins.......??

I think the various accounts of the Inquest proceedings are saying their various things according to their various agendas. Some of them want to portray a "happy Diana" because they want to show that she was "happy with Dodi" and "a woman clearly on the way to marriage, baby, etc." And others are playing down the "happy in love" stuff because they have a more sober agenda. It's all being phrased differently because there are different motives going on. So the best thing is, if you want to follow this Inquest, to take everything with a grain of salt, read the accounts, absorb it, but make your own judgements. The Coroner's website is good because you can read the transcripts and see their videos and they don't have anything but the facts. The facts are there, plain and simple, without taints.

I don´t believe That Princess Diana was pregnant. This is a lie.

i agree. while diana had a lovely figure she wasn't toned so the little tummy would be natural, especially after having given birth twice.

i don't know how many books i have read on princess diana, but every book i have read they all have diffrent views on what happen in her last moments of her life.

if diana was pregnet it would have not been dodi's baby. the were only togeather for 2/3 weeks. i personly think it could have been dr hansnat kahns baby

dodi life was controlled by his father, whatever his father wanted he had todo it so saying that i don't think dodi would have goten a engagment ring for her i think it was more of a token of friendship ring more then anything eles.

on the subject on weather the royal family had got anything todo with this death i m not 100% sure if its true or not. all we know is that the royal family were very jelouse of diana's popularity ( i think there still are)

the only person who would know about that night was the bodygard , he can only remember a little bit about that night .

her life would have not been taken if she din't wear a seat belt that night if only she did.


i am not attentionly offand anyone on this its wat i think and feel. i hope ppl can understand
