Princess Diana’s Death; 5 Fast Facts
Conspiracy Theories Are Still Being Built Around It Today
When the monarch passed away as a result of a fatal auto crash in the Pont de l’Alma road tunnel in Paris, France in ’97, some people took it at face value, while a vast majority had quite a few ideas about what could have led up to her death. S
ure, we all know there was a car crash, but lots of people are curious as to how ‘innocent’ the accident was.
The black Mercedes S-280 was driven by Henri Paul and the passengers were Diana, Princess of Wales, her companion Dodi Fayed and his bodyguard Trevor Rees. Some say it was a planned attack due to the fact that Diana was pregnant for Fayed and was planning to get married to him at some point in time.
What is even fishier is the fact that Lady Di actually predicted her death in letters that she sent out to two of her friends, but that evidence was actually withheld during the investigation surrounding her death itself. The theories are still being built on to date.
Why was Princess Diana Famous?
Princess Diana is famous for her style and she was associated with the fashion world she has also done charitable works. She became president of over 100 charities.
There’s A Small Chance That She Could Have Made It
Despite the fact that there was minimal damage to her side of the vehicle, Diana remained in the car for a total of 37 minutes and as a whole, she remained in the tunnel for 81 minutes. Medical experts actually testified in court that if Diana had been removed from the scene of the accident on time, her death might have been averted.
The physician in charge, Dr. Jean-Marc Martino, wasn’t made to attend the official inquiry into Princess Diana’s death, so that yielded nothing.
The Initial French Investigation Concluded That The Accident Was As A Result Of The Driver’s Drunkenness
Apparently, the driver, Henri Paul wasn’t the best when it came to not drinking especially before driving. An inquest in London starting in 2004 and continued in 2007–08 attributed the accident to grossly negligent driving by Paul and to the pursuing paparazzi.
Prior to that, there were a couple of testimonies, and here is one that stuck out. The masseuse, Myriah Daniels, testified that Henri Paul had driven recklessly from the airport earlier in the day, ‘ With all due respect he was probably a very nice man but he was shit as a driver.’
From 1981 Until The Year Of Her Death She Was A Major Presence Worldwide
Not only because of her Princess status, but mostly because of the way she lived her life, Lady Di had what you could call a major presence on the world stage.
None of her selfless acts could go unnoticed, mostly because no one would a royal get involved in charities that don’t look too glamorous.
