Diana was pregnant. “Diana was pregnant after all!” - the father of her deceased lover told the AiF special correspondent
The father of Diana's unborn child was her friend, her son. Egyptian billionaire Dodi al-Fayed. His father Mohammed al-Fayed had previously put forward a version that the princess was pregnant, but his words were not taken into account.
Mohammed al-Fayed continues to insist that his son and his girlfriend were victims of an assassination attempt that was disguised as a regular road accident. However, the source Independent on Sunday, who reported on Diana’s pregnancy, called this version untenable.
Mohammed al-Fayed's representative Richard Keane claims that there are several circumstances surrounding the deaths of Diana and Dodi that cast doubt on the official version of what happened. There is allegedly evidence that for several months before the accident, Diana and her friend were under surveillance by British and American intelligence agencies. In addition, the accident in Paris brings to mind the scenario of an assassination attempt. former president Yugoslavia of Slobodan Milosevic, which was prepared by the British intelligence services. The third factor raising questions, is that at the time of the accident in the tunnel for some reason not a single road surveillance camera was working. Richard Keane believes that Henry Paul, the driver of Diana's Mercedes, could be an MI6 informant.
According to some doctors, doctors had a chance to save Diana. The world-famous South African heart surgeon Christian Barnard writes in his book that, after reviewing the autopsy materials, he came to the conclusion that Diana died from internal bleeding. And if she had not received assistance on the spot, but was taken to the clinic within 10 minutes, the death could have been avoided. Another doctor, Frederick Melle, who witnessed the accident, claims that Diana was in even better condition than her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, who managed to survive the car accident.
A special hearing into Diana's death will be held on January 6 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Center in London. Similar hearings regarding the death of Dodi al-Fayed will be held on the same day in Reigate (Surrey). Michael Burgess, forensic expert for the British royal family, said this.
Scott McLeod, the Paris-based Middle East correspondent for the American Time magazine, was returning from vacation on the night of August 30 with his family. In the Alma tunnel he was blinded by police flashing lights. I thought sadly: “An accident... Another one...”
At home, McLeod turned on the TV and realized: no, not another accident. This accident will go down in history. Princess Diana died...
There have never been more journalists more efficient than the Americans. Scott McLeod and his friend, Times Paris bureau chief Thomas Sancton, spent 5 months investigating the tragedy.
As a result, the book "The Death of a Princess: An Investigation" was born. Actually, not a book, but pure dynamite. A sort of anatomy of Diana’s death, where every page is a fresh look at things, if not a sensation. The book itself, however, is not on the shelves yet. But the London Times began, as is customary here, to pull out the tastier pieces from there and throw them into the mouths of the readers: perhaps they will fall for the entire volume of 120 thousand words.
Of course they will. For the British, the transformation of the princess from a living martyr into a dead icon is an unhealed wound. Just the other day, Britain was crowded in queues for postage stamps with a picture of Diana. Only recently, tens of thousands of phone calls jammed all the lines that accept requests for excursions to her family estate. There, on an island in the middle of the lake, now surrounded by a two-meter dark blue fence made of steel bars, " people's princess"I found, as it seemed, eternal peace.
But here is this book! And it states something amazing: even after the Mercedes kissed the 13th concrete pillar in the Alma tunnel, Diana could have been saved! If only doctors were more competent. If only these French were not fixated on their national philosophy of emergency medical care, the essence of which is to treat to the fullest right at the scene of the accident. That is, if they had immediately sent her to the hospital.
As you know, the official cause of Diana's death was internal bleeding as a result of extensive trauma. chest and rupture of the vein of the left lung. The investigation carried out by McLeod and Sancton revealed an incredible waste of precious time. It turned out that the princess was taken to the operating room only... 1 hour 45 minutes (!) after the accident, and she was still alive there for at least 15 minutes. Total 2 hours of flickering, but still life. Mountains could be moved.
According to the leading medical authorities interviewed by the book's authors, this means that the rupture of the vein was either minor, or the damage was blocked by a blood clot or a rib fragment. In any case, Diana could have been saved if she had undergone urgent surgery. The lengthy attempts by French doctors to stabilize the princess’s condition in the Alma tunnel, instead of immediately transporting her to a hospital, were a grave mistake.
“Diana did not bleed because blood clots were forming at the site of the rupture,” Professor John Auchener, a luminary of American cardiovascular surgery and owner of a famous clinic in New Orleans, told the authors. “Or perhaps because the pressure there was insignificant. But in general, it's a pretty simple rule: if you can get these patients to the hospital and hook them up to a heart-lung machine quickly enough, they can be saved. Given that she lived for 2 hours, they could have gotten her to the hospital in an hour , they would have saved her..."
But French doctors spent all this time mainly on external chest massage. It is impossible to understand this with your head, says Professor Ochener. “When you start beating on the chest, the pressure in all the ventricles of the heart jumps at the same time. It was hard to imagine anything worse for her...” Another American authority in surgery, Dr David Wasserman, he generally told the authors of the book: if this happened in the USA, doctors would not be able to avoid lawsuit. But, in my opinion, something else happened: in the book “Death of a Princess,” the entire French health care system was put on trial.
And not only because of its incompetence, but also its depressing secrecy. The authors of the book bang their heads against this blank wall of mystery when they try to answer the most important question, from their point of view: was Princess Diana pregnant at the time of her death? A lot depends on this. If she really was pregnant by the Egyptian Dodi al-Fayed, then over the British monarchy, over Britain's relationship with everything Arab world, the specter of an heir to the throne who would be only 50 percent Anglo-Saxon looms over the 1.5 million Muslims living in the British Isles. Half-breed at Buckingham Palace? This is too much...
All the pros seem to be indirect. The rumors began with the famous photograph taken by a television camera on the island of St. Tropez, where Diana’s noticeable belly was visible. But pregnancy is noticeable only at 3-4 months. However, the princess and Dodi met in mid-July, so the fetus could not have been more than 6 weeks old. A 36-year-old woman's belly isn't much of a clue.
McLeod and Sancton established something else: doctors in France and the French police must have irrefutable evidence of whether one of the most famous women in the world was pregnant. Diana underwent blood tests several times. They were required to include the so-called Wei-NOS - pregnancy test. She also had an ultrasound sonogram.
Where are these tests? McLeod and Sancton conducted dozens of interviews on this topic, including with doctors at the hospital where the dying princess was taken. McLeod and Sancton's sensational discovery is that the test results WERE REMOVED FROM DIANA'S HISTORY. They are not there. But they are in the safes of the French Ministry of Health and Police, the authors are convinced. And the contents of these documents are extremely explosive. Otherwise, Dr. Dominique Leconte, the hospital's pathologist, would not have been prohibited from the usual procedure in such cases - opening the princess's body and taking a blood test before handing over the coffin to the British. Who banned? “Instructions have been received,” Lecomte replied.
From all this, the authors of the book “Death of a Princess” draw a firm conclusion: today it is unknown whether Diana was pregnant. But comprehensive documentary evidence on this matter exists. And until they emerge into the light, “yes” weighs “no” on the scales.
McLeod and Sancton also took a closer look at other characters in the tragedy. Let's say, to Henri Paul, deputy director of the security service of the Ritz Hotel in Paris, who was driving at that dark hour. And we also came across some highly suspicious mysteries.
It turned out, for example, that not only traces of alcohol and “recreational” drugs were found in Paul’s blood. An unusually high level of... carbon monoxide, that is, carbon monoxide, was also found there. This usually happens when engine exhaust leaks into the passenger compartment.
I have great suspicions about sabotage. “Someone could have done something wrong with the car,” Sancton said in an interview with which the London Times preceded the publication of excerpts from “Death of a Princess.”
The newspaper is now snatched up every morning, like hot whites in winter. But you won’t be able to remain a monopolist for long on the topic of Princess Diana in Britain. The Daily Mirror is already on the tail of The Times.
She found another Diana - 36-year-old Diana Halliday, who allegedly had a child with the same Dodi al-Fayed, the princess's beloved man. Dodi allegedly demanded an abortion, but she, a noble, humane woman, gave birth. Dodi didn't know this. Diana No. 2 called him and said: “And I gave birth!” And this dramatic conversation took place exactly on the eve of the car accident. Do you understand?
The Daily Mirror also reports that millionaire Mohammed al-Fayed, Dodi's father, rashly gave his granddaughter's mother 5 thousand pounds ($8 thousand). And then he changed his mind and sued her for extortion.
Apparently, the release of the book “Diana-2”: I, too, was pregnant with Dodi’s baby” should be expected sometime in the very near future.
The Princess of Gaul will become the heroine of a soap opera
Just a few months after his tragic death Diana and Dodi al-Fayed will be resurrected on television in a scandalous British series. Thus, for the first time, the ban on commercial use of the princess’s name will be violated.
Despite threats of legal prosecution from the princess's family, producers from London said they were ready to begin filming and begin broadcasting the television series by mid-April.
Both actors, Amy Seccombe and George Jackson, still unknown to anyone, were chosen solely on the basis of their resemblance to the tragic couple. The series will reflect the last years of Diana's life - from the moment of her divorce from Prince Charles to her meeting with the son of the richest owner of Harrods stores and her tragic death in Paris. “The film will tell about her search for personal happiness,” explained representatives of the film crew.
The project angered the Diana Foundation, which was created to support charitable causes and manage her image. “No one even asked our permission... The production of such a film literally immediately after the death of the princess and Dodi al-Fayed is absolutely unacceptable and shameless,” the Foundation’s lawyer protested.
(Based on materials from Russian and foreign press).
Five years after the tragedy that took place in the Parisian Alma tunnel, doctors, servants of Themis, and intelligence agents begin to talk. And they claim that the princess Welsh Diana died along with her unborn child.
While talking on the phone, Lady Di could shout into the receiver: “Guys, change the tape - this one, in my opinion, is already over!”
In early 1997, Princess Diana accepted the invitation of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed and, together with her sons, went to relax on his yacht, and then to his estate on Cote d'Azur. Soon the son of the millionaire Dodi appeared there. Photo reporters, as always, followed the princess’s every move.
You will be surprised at what I will do in the near future,” Diana told reporters and on July 20, she accepted Dodi’s invitation to go with him on a boat trip without being accompanied by her father. She was already in love with Dodi, and he reciprocated her feelings.
At that time, the princess developed a warm relationship with Franco Gelli, the vicar of the Anglican church located near Kensington Palace, where she lived with her sons. Diana often came to the service, talked for a long time with Franco, and once asked him how Muslims treat their wives. After some time, the princess admitted that she had met an extraordinary person who surrounded her with love and care, which she had never had before. In addition, he gets along well with William and Harry, which was especially important for Diana. “Diana was so happy, so in love,” says Franco Gelli. “When she talked about her lover, a warm smile appeared on her face.”
Once, saying goodbye to the vicar, Diana asked whether two people of different religions could get married. And then she asked if he could marry them if she wanted to get married Then the vicar took her words as a joke.
A few days later, already on board the yacht, Lady Di called her confessor.
Diana said she had wonderful news,” Gelly recalls, “and asked me to come to Kensington Palace immediately upon her return to England.
Alas, the vicar never had a chance to find out what the princess wanted to tell him so important. A week later, Diana was in a car accident and died in a Paris clinic.
Lady Di knew that British intelligence agents were watching her, and her phone was constantly being tapped. Sometimes, while talking on the phone with a friend, she would shout into the receiver: “Hey, guys, change the cassette, otherwise it seems you’ve already run out of this one!”
However, the princess did not even suspect that, in addition to British intelligence, American intelligence was also interested in her. Only after Diana's death did it become known that in the overseas archives there were records of her telephone conversations. She was being monitored by the CIA and the NSA (National Secret Agency). Bugs were placed everywhere, including on her computer and bed. Diana's every step, her every word was recorded. After the August tragedy, Dodi's father Mohammed Al-Fayed sought to have these documents declassified. But he was refused, citing the fact that it could threaten the security of the United States. Somewhat later, the reputable British newspaper The Guardian joined the NRA with a request to allow journalists into the “Princess Diana case.” But she was also refused. Was there really explosive material stored in the archives?
Scientists say that not a single study will show whether Diana was expecting a child
According to British reporter, writer and intelligence specialist Gordon Thomas, the intelligence services have a recording of a conversation between Diana and Dodi, made on their last night, as well as a conversation between Dodi and his father, during which he admitted that Diana was expecting a child.
Thomas received confirmation of the existence of these recordings from one of the NSA agencies in June 2002 and published information about this in the British Sunday Express. According to him, the records contain irrefutable evidence that Princess Diana was pregnant in July 1997.
Mohammed Al-Fayed spoke about this immediately after the death of his son and Lady Di. But no one took his words seriously. Only a few tried to get to the bottom of the truth. One of them was American reporter James Keith. He followed an article published on September 8, 1997 in Time magazine, which quoted a French emergency doctor who spoke with a journalist a few hours after Diana's death. Before he began to rescue the princess, one of his colleagues told him that Diana came to her senses for a moment and the moment he touched her stomach, she whispered: “I’m pregnant.”
After the publication of this text, the doctor refused to talk to any journalists, saying that he would only talk to Diana’s family. James Keith obtained evidence confirming that conversation in the Paris hospital. “In 1998, I was able to contact a person who was friends with Dodi Al-Fayed’s personal physician,” Keith wrote. “The doctor admitted that he examined Princess Diana and discovered that she was expecting a child.” The reporter was able to collect other data regarding the tragic death of Diana on August 31, 1997. But he did not have time to publish them - on September 7, 1999, he died in operation time on knee joint.
“I feel like I’m not going to get out of here,” he told his friend Ken Thomas before the operation. And I was not mistaken.
And a few hours after the journalist’s death, all information relating to the death of Princess Diana disappeared from his computer.
The investigation into Lady Di's death will soon be resumed. However, scientists claim that the autopsy will not yield anything, since Diana’s body was hastily embalmed, and therefore it is impossible to conduct reliable research. No test will show whether the princess was actually pregnant.
Despite this, neither Dodi’s father nor the journalists stop seeking the truth. J. Steinberg, a correspondent for the Executive Intelligence Review, doubts, however, that the results of the research carried out immediately after the tragedy in Paris will ever see the light of day. And yet he managed to get to some documents.
“In April 2000, Mohammed Al-Fayed’s lawyers,” writes Jeffrey Steinberg, “came into the hands of a memo from two French pathologists working on behalf of Judge Stephan and the English collaborators. This note stated that the British authorities were putting pressure on them to withhold certain autopsy results.”
In turn, Scott McLead and Thomas Sancton from Time Magazine claim that some of the documents have disappeared, including those that could confirm Diana’s pregnancy, writes the Polish weekly Gala. Evidence can only be found in the archives of the CIA and the NIA. However, neither the American nor British intelligence services respond to any requests. The royal family is also silent. And only Diana's mother asks that her daughter be left alone at last
British journalist Sue Reid spent 10 years studying the facts of the death of Princess Diana in a car accident in Paris and found new circumstances proving that Princess Diana and Dodi al Faed were killed by agents of the British intelligence service SAS.
Last famous photograph, Princess Diana, taken on the night of her death. The princess and her friend Dodi al Fayed in the back seat of a Mercedes before leaving the Ritz Hotel in Paris for their nest near the Champs-Elysees. Diana tries to see through the rear window of the Mercedes whether they are being followed by the paparazzi that have besieged her and Dodi since their arrival in the French capital. The car is driven by Henri Paul, driver Dodi al Faed, and bodyguard Trevor Rhys-Jones in the passenger seat in front.
What happened over the next two minutes is central to a new Scotland Yard investigation into the suspected murder of Princess Diana and her companions in the Pont d'Alma tunnel in Paris by members of the SAS, Britain's secret intelligence service. SAS is a division of the powerful secret service MI5. Many see this event as another thread of the conspiracy.
Hundreds of articles have been written about Diana's death at 12:20 a.m. on August 31, 1997, in a car accident in Paris. Both Scotland Yard and French police investigations concluded that Princess Diana's death was the result of a tragic accident.
However, British journalist Sue Ride claims: “The world was led to believe that the blame for Diana’s death lay with the driver of the Mercedes, who was drunk, as well as with those who were pursuing them paparazzi car, but I argue that this is not true. Since Princess Diana died at the age of 36, I have carefully investigated all the circumstances of this tragedy and now I want to make my conclusions available to everyone.
I spoke to eyewitnesses, French and British intelligence officers, SAS officers, friends of Diana and Dodi al Waed. I interviewed the parents of the driver, Henri Paul, who was driving that tragic day. They tearfully insisted that their son had never been an alcoholic. All he could afford was a bottle of beer or a glass of Ricard aperitif flavored with licorice.
The facts I have discovered prove that Princess Diana's death was not an accident. It is very important that I was able to prove that the paparazzi who allegedly followed Diana's Mercedes were not even in the tunnel at the time of the car accident.
One of the eyewitnesses said that a powerful black motorcycle, which did not belong to any of the paparazzi, overtook Diana's Mercedes in the tunnel. The driver of the motorcycle and the passenger in the back seat caused this terrible accident.
In addition, the journalist discovered the involvement of a secret SAS unit subordinate to MI6 in the disaster, and also identified the names of two MI6 officers who were involved in the circumstances of this case.
Of course, it was very convenient for some important people in the UK to turn the driver Henri Paul and the paparazzi into scapegoats and thus hide the truth about that disaster from the public.
Was Princess Diana Pregnant?
Diana, who recently divorced Prince Charles, has been a thorn in the royal family's side. Her affair with the Muslim Dodi, which, although it lasted only six weeks, had every reason to develop into marriage.
The princess made an important symbolic gesture, she gave her lover “the most valuable thing” - a pair of cufflinks from her late father, and also called her friends and said that she had prepared a big surprise for them upon their return from Paris.
Dodi, in turn, ordered an inlaid precious stones jewelry from one of the best jewelers in Paris, on which the words “tell me yes” were engraved.
Diana's friends say the princess was pregnant. This is noticeable even from photographs of her in a leopard print swimsuit, while relaxing on a yacht, fourteen days earlier.
After Diana's death, it became known that she, in the strictest confidence, visited one of the best London hospitals for a pregnancy scan. Just before these leopard print swimsuit photos came out.
To annoy former relatives, Diana, threatened to go abroad with her Muslim friend and take her children, Princes William and Harry, with her.
To this end, Dodi bought an estate in California, on the beach of Malibu, which previously belonged to movie star Julia Andrews. Dodi showed the princess his purchase on video and, as one of Diana’s friends said, then he promised her that they would spend best years married life.
Expelled from the royal court and stripped of all her titles, Diana was delighted at the prospect.
Mohammed al-Fayed, the billionaire owner of Harrods and father of Diana's future husband, claims that Diana was pregnant with his son and was preparing to tell her children, Princes Harry and William, about her upcoming marriage upon returning to Britain.
She planned to do this before the children went to boarding school on September 1, but she did not live just one day before this date.
Could the prospect of having a colored child in an Oryol family lead to Diana's murder? If so, who did it and how?
Princess Diana. Mission Complete.
These questions were partially answered by the testimony of 14 eyewitnesses to the accident that night. It is said that Diana's car was surrounded at the entrance to the Alma tunnel by several cars and motorcycles, which immediately disappeared after the accident.
There was a general belief that these were paparazzi cars and motorcycles. This version, already on Monday morning the day after the accident, began to be persistently promoted by the media.
Even at the entrance to the tunnel where the accident occurred, there was an inscription in large letters“Paparazzi Killer” Someone sprayed it with gold paint on the wall. To this day, no one knows who did it and why the French police did not erase this inscription.
It has now become known that the paparazzi pursuing Diana’s car entered the tunnel at least a minute later than the accident happened. It is clear that they are not involved in this tragedy and are not guilty.
Indeed, two years later they were cleared of involvement in the death of Princess Diana, after the French public prosecutor said at a hearing that the investigation did not have enough evidence to support it.
In fact, the paparazzi lagged behind Diana's car. Diana's driver managed to deceive them in the courtyard of the Ritz Hotel. He came up with a trick with two identical Mercedes, and while the photographers were figuring out what was what, Diana and her friend drove away unnoticed.
However, eyewitnesses claim that Diana's Mercedes was pursued not only by a black motorcycle, but also by two Fiat Uno Turbos at the entrance to the tunnel.
There is no evidence to link these cars or the motorcycle to the paparazzi. One of these cars was propped up behind Diana's Mercedes, provoking the driver to accelerate and drive erratically. As the cars burst into the tunnel, the second Fiat Uno Turbo accelerated and began to cut off the princess's Mercedes, pushing it towards the dividing wall.
This maneuver allowed a black motorcycle with a driver and passenger wearing helmets to sharply bypass Diana's car. Witnesses state that when the motorcycle was only a few meters from the front of the Mercedes (4.5 meters), there was a very bright flash of light from the passenger of the motorcycle towards the driver of the Mercedes. There is an assumption that it was a laser beam that blinded the driver of the Mercedes.
Then there was a loud bang, the limousine turned sharply and crashed into the 13th pillar in the tunnel. After this, Diana's Mercedes turned into a pile of twisted metal.
One of the eyewitnesses of the accident, a French ship mechanic, was driving in front of Diana's car and watching what was happening in the rearview mirror. He saw a black motorcycle stop after an accident and one of the motorcyclists jumped off the motorcycle and looked out the window of the Mercedes. The motorcyclist then made a gesture with his hands to someone, which is informally used in a military environment (both arms crossed at chest level moving downwards in a different sides, which means “mission accomplished”).
After that, both motorcyclists sped away from the tunnel forever and have not yet been found. This witness, with his wife in the car, clearly described the incident as a “terrorist attack.”
Whether this was part of a plot to get rid of Diana and her lover and whether it was the work of the British intelligence services, MI6 and its SAS unit, remains to be seen irrefutable facts their participation in the death of Princess Diana is not.
Sue Ride, thanks to whom the world learned about the new circumstances of this tragedy, received entries on his blog after Diana’s death from one of former employees MI6.
He wrote to the journalist: “I hope you are brave enough to dig deeper and find out more about MI6 and about X and Y (the journalist does not reveal the names of the agents, for obvious reasons, calling them X and Y). Both of them took part in the murder of the princess, which was approved at the highest level.”
Later, the names of these killers became known from other intelligence sources. It is alleged that there were two men who exercised overall control over the “Paris operation.”
The two started the theory that the accident was staged to scare Diana and end her affair with Dodi, as a Muslim was considered an unsuitable partner. former members her family. “We were hoping to break her arm or cause minor injuries,” one of the agents said. The operation was supervised by MI6 officers, but everything went wrong that night, no one in MI6 wanted to kill Diana.”
Princess Diana, what do Russian SVR agents know about her?
The names of these two agents were mentioned in Moscow.
A veteran of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Gennady Sokolov, wrote in his book that MI6, X and Y officers were present the night Diana died in Paris and that the Russian SVR intended to find out why. The author also stated that the SVR agents were familiar with these British agents.
Both are senior MI6 officers and were on a secret mission in Paris that night without the knowledge of French counterintelligence. After Diana's death they immediately left Paris.
Princess Diana and her possible marriage to Dodi were of great concern royal family Great Britain. The princess's phone was constantly tapped and she herself was constantly under surveillance. After the crash, public opinion deliberately misled. They created scapegoats, paparazzi and a drunk driver. The press wrote that Henri Paul was an alcoholic, a virtual kamikaze who helped destroy them all. This is complete nonsense.
It was clear from the very beginning that this was not an accident. The SVR and other Russian special services are confident that this was a purely English murder. According to them, SAS, one of the MI6 units, was directly involved in the murder. These guys work for top level without leaving any traces.
The driver Henri Paul and Dodi al-Fayed died instantly; the only survivor was bodyguard Trevor Rhys-Jones. However, he has many injuries to his face, chest, and a ruptured pulmonary artery. They say that he lost his memory of the events in the tunnel. Well, Diana herself died four hours later from loss of blood in a Paris hospital.
The official investigation was not very keen to establish the truth. More than 170 important witnesses, including the doctor who embalmed Diana's body (during this process, the pregnancy was disguised in post-mortem blood tests), were never interviewed by the investigation.
Another doctor at the hospital where Diana was taken said she saw a small fetus, perhaps six to 10 weeks old, in the princess's womb during an ultrasound. This witness was also not questioned by the investigation.
Judge Lord Scott Baker, who is heading the investigation, did allow her to put her testimony in writing, which, as it turned out later, apart from her current address in America, did not contain any other valuable information.
The authorities were especially unfair to the driver, Henri Paul, who was declared a chronic alcoholic from the very beginning.
The day after the accident, French authorities said he was an alcoholic and “drunk as a pig” when he left the Ritz Hotel on the night of the accident. It later became known that at the time this statement was made, tests for the presence of alcohol in the driver’s blood were not yet ready.
In addition, the driver underwent an intensive medical examination three days before the crash, and his liver showed no signs of alcohol abuse.
Every year, on the anniversary of Diana's death, the British bring fresh bouquets of flowers to the gilded gates of Kensington Palace. Maybe with each passing year there will be fewer and fewer flowers in memory of Princess Diana, but there will be no questions about the circumstances of this tragedy.
On the eve of the 10-year anniversary of the death of the popular princess, the AiF columnist met in London with people from her circle who believe that the car accident was not an accident at all...
Her death is a signature intelligence style
AUGUST 31, 1997, 36-year-old Diana, ex-wife heir to the British throne, Charles, was killed in a car accident in Paris. Her 42-year-old lover Dodi al-Fayed, as well as her driver Henri Paul, died along with her. It is well known that people of this level do not die just like that. And if they die, then no one believes the official explanation for their death. Story mystical death The popular princess still excites society. During my stay in London, I heard a lot of conversations on this topic - in cafes, the subway, and just under a traffic light, waiting to cross the street. Everyone agrees on one thing - there was a conspiracy. And if someone says: maybe Prince Charles isn’t to blame at all, they look at him like he’s a clinical idiot.
The main ideologist of the “conspiracy theory” is the father of Diana’s lover, billionaire Mohammed al-Fayed. It was he who insisted on a state investigation into the car accident, which has been ongoing for five years. Getting to talk to him is a fantasy: every day al-Fayed receives ten (!) requests for an interview. I was immediately warned: just a couple of questions.
On December 14, 2006, the first conclusions of the Commission of Inquiry into Diana's death were announced. It was established that she died “as a result of an accident,” and DNA analysis showed that the princess was not pregnant. You previously stated that it was the news of her pregnancy that served as the basis for the assassination attempt; the royal family feared that the future king of Britain might have a Muslim half-brother.
At first the authorities refused to do the test, and when they did it under pressure, 10 years passed! During this time, traces can simply be lost. The day before their death, Dodi and Diana visited the villa in Paris that I bought for them. They chose a room there for their child, overlooking the garden.
The latest data showed that the princess's driver was drunk, and had three times more alcohol in his blood than the driving limit allowed.
There are recordings from video cameras of the Ritz Hotel, where Henri Paul's gait is normal, although, in theory, he should just crawl. Doctors found a wild amount of an antidepressant in his body. Most likely, this person was poisoned. In addition, I have documents that he worked for the British intelligence services. Only later they found his secret bank accounts, to which 200 thousand dollars were transferred. The origin of this money is unclear.
Paul Burrell, Diana’s former butler, who has already earned half a million pounds from publishing intimate letters from the princess, also thinks the same, and at the same time told a lot of details about Diana: how she (while still the wife of Prince Charles) went by taxi to a Pakistani doctor, her then lover, in a fur coat worn over a naked body. One of Diana’s letters, which she wrote 10 months before her death, reads: "My life is in danger. Ex-husband plans to organize an accident. My car's brakes will fail and there will be a car accident. My husband needs to get rid of me in order to marry his mistress.". The tragedy that happened in Paris repeats the scenario described in this message.
The publication of this letter caused a scandal, Paul Burrell explains to me. “The royal family found nothing better than to say that I had no right to give it to the newspapers.” But, excuse me, this proves that Diana was seriously afraid for her life and had information about the impending attempt on her life. Her death was brilliantly organized - signature English style. Our intelligence always “killed” people not with the help of poison or a sniper, but in such a way that it looked like an accident.
Did they kill according to the “Milosevic plan”?
A SIMILAR opinion is held by intelligence officers themselves, for example, the notorious ex-MI6 officer Richard Tomlison. He was arrested twice for disclosing state secrets in his books about British intelligence, left Britain and now lives in France. Tomlison openly stated that Diana was killed by MI6 agents in a “mirror” “accidental car accident” plan that was prepared for Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic 15 years ago. After which he called for the declassification of the recordings of telephone conversations of the special services in Paris on August 31, 1997. Of course, no one began to declassify the records, but the French police arrested Tomlison himself, as well as his entire archive of documents and computers. The officer is now being questioned by investigators from London as a “witness in the case of the death of the Princess of Wales.” Until the end of the interrogations, Richard refused to give me any comments.
...At the very end of the business trip, I found the only survivor of a car accident in Paris, Dodi and Diana’s bodyguard Trevor Rhys-Jones. Unlike the driver and passengers, he survived because he had fastened his seat belt. The crushed bones in his body are held together with 150 (!) titanium plates, and he underwent ten surgical operations. Trevor now lives in a town in the north-west of England, where he has family business- sportswear store.
