Avalon said:I did not voice my desire/opinion that the jury should have consisted of the members of the Royal Household, I just stated a fact.
19th century law states that a jury, hearing an inquest into the death of a member of the Royal Family, must be chosen only from members of the Royal Household.
At the time of her death Diana was still considered member of the Royal Family and was mother of British Princes.
It absolutely made sense back then to keep things under the carpet, so to speak. But nowadays, especially as the whole inquest is going public anyway, there is no real sense in that anymore.
