if you are interested in current news - Hary's thread has it
Mermaid1962, can I say you almost made me cry at how beautifully you explained it all. Just honestly this is exactly what I have been trying to say to my friends and family for years whenever they bring it up. Bad decisions just led to an unfortunate and tragic end. Personally I don't get the whole SAS wanted to kill Diana but I do hope we get some sort of explanation about this because if we don't conspiracy theorists will just go on about this claim forever just as they have with all the other ones. The only thing that interests me is to read John Morgan's books. I wanna see is he plain mad in the head or does he bring up anything new that we haven't already heard.The people who could have provided her with the proper security didn't know she was there. I'm sure that one call from Diana or someone in her group to the police department would have provided a secure escort for them: "Hello, we have Diana Princess of Wales in our care and would like a police escort tonight, please." She didn't have her own proper protection because she dismissed her official guard after the separation. I think that what was wrong about that night was that it was totally disorganized. It was pure Keystone Cops without any actual police. Dodi kept changing the plans. The two security men who had been with Diana and Dodi--Trevor Rees-Jones and Kez Wingfield--had to deal with the Fayeds. They didn't know how to make the deals with the paparazzi that official royal protection knew how to do: "Okay, we'll let you take some pictures in exchange for leaving the Royal party alone afterwards." Royal protection officers aren't employed by Royals but are answerable to their superiors in the police force. The Fayed body-guards were only responsible to the Fayeds. They weren't even responsible to Diana. There is no way that an assassination plan would work that night because nobody knew from minute to minute what the plans were. I suspect that Diana wasn't wearing a seat-belt because she and Dodi were cuddling. The post-mortem showed that she had been drinking some wine, and so maybe her guard was down more than normal. Dodi was determined to get Diana back to his place that night rather than stay at the Ritz. Even his father suggested they stay at the Ritz. There were bad decisions made that night by Diana, Dodi, and Henri Paul. That's what caused the deaths.
As far as the princes wondering what happened, no one can know what happened in the Mercedes. We'll never know whether Henri Paul was urged to speed up by Dodi, for example. Had he not been going so fast, and he been sober, he'd not have hit the Fiat Uno and gone into that swerve-and-spin.
It was a crazy set of events, which in my view rules out a murder. Assassinations need down-to-the-minute planning, which would have been impossible in the circumstances.
Some people will never believe that a young, beautiful now sainted princess could get in a car driven by a man who had had too much to drink and who was driving too fast which resulted in a crash and that because she was not wearing a seat belt she died, like many other mere mortals, as a result of her injuries

What I don't get is this why would someone write a letter claiming to have killed Princess Diana if really no such thing happened.
There could be a whole lot of explanations for that, but let's just wait what the investigation comes up with before starting a conspiracy theory of our own
I still ask myself, why in the world they would get a person like that to drive the car, when they knew he was drinking heavily?

I know many would want this entire situation put to rest and curious about this coming up within the anniversary month but I hope any new information would be looked over very carefully and if there's anything that could be of some help, use it to their best of their ability.
I know if it was a member of my family who passed away in this way, I would want the authorities doing everything they can and follow credible leads.
The way they kept changing their plans that night, it seems like a lot of the decisions were based on impulse rather than common sense. I think Diana was just letting Dodi take charge of things, maybe not realizing how bad his judgment could be.
No matter what happens, it will not and cannot bring Diana back. I really hope this doesn't get blown up way out of porportion by the media.
From what I remember, (it has been a couple years since I last read the dossier and inquest files) they knew Henri Paul had a few drinks though I don't think they knew exactly how badly drunk he was.I still ask myself, why in the world they would get a person like that to drive the car, when they knew he was drinking heavily?
That's true but it's still really bothering me. I'm intrigued to see what happens.There could be a whole lot of explanations for that, but let's just wait what the investigation comes up with before starting a conspiracy theory of our own
Not much hope of that I am afraid. As you can see from reading recent posts some people would prefer to believe in an evil conspiracy rather than accept that she could die like a mere mortal in an ordinary car crash.

I think people do accept that accidents sadly happen and someone of Diana's status can die in a crash just like everyone else. I think the problem is that some still question the evidence and the stuff that probably wasn't looked at. Even William & Harry have publically stated that they don't even think they would ever know the truth about what really happened.
It's just that some people still have questions and curious about those events. I feel bad the Mr. Al Fayed lost his son too but I still have questions about that whole trip and feel funny about Mr. Al Fayeds motives of even inviting Diana to join his family on vacation and with his son, who was busy entertaining his then fiancée.
Because he might have been an informant to police. That was never proven, but he had a lot of money in his bank account that could never be explained.

I wasn't going to post in this thread again, but some of the people who are suspicious of the official conclusion are not considering the reality of how security operates in real life.I have always found it hard to believe that one of the most exclusive Hotels in the world would employ as Head of their Security a man who would drink to excess on the day he knew his bosses son and the most photographed woman in the world were going to be in town. Surely Henri Paul as head of security knew the risks involved with the paps and wanted/needed a clear head to deal with any demand/situation this high profile couple might ask of him. I don't believe for a minute this man was drunk. Otherwise the Ritz was operating as a Fawlty Towers operation. I just hope that one day we will get to the truth of the matter.
I re-read the article and it seems this SAS soldier seemed to be exhibiting quite erratic behavior and threatening to kill his wife and such. So now all of a sudden him writing this letter and claiming to have killed Diana doesn't seem quite as bizarre anymoreAgreed. It was all in the control of the Fayeds, and they were incompetent. They could keep Diana protected in their compounds but not in the street.
The "informant" had been court-marshalled twice. Not a good source IMO.
