It was a tragedy that shocked the whole world. On the night of August 31, 1997, 36-year-old Princess Diana crashed into a tunnel in Paris with her boyfriend Dodi al-Fayed and her bodyguard. Of those who were in the car, only the bodyguard survived.
Diana’s death certificate stated that she died of multiple injuries as a result of a collision, but even 25 years later, there are versions that the princess’s death was not just an accident.
So, put on your official foil hats and pick your favorite theory!
Agreement with the driver
According to the claims of Mohammed al-Fayed, the father of the princess’ young man, MI6 carried out a covert operation to arrange Diana’s car accident. The driver of the car, Henri Paul, was a safety informant who may have deliberately instigated the accident. Suspicious funds in Henri’s bank account and testimony from Richard Tomlinson, a former MI6 officer, suggest that Henri received money from the government.
Concerning the alcohol level in Henri’s blood, conspiracy theorists have suggested, for example, that it was taken from the suicide victim, not from Henri. They believe Henri was sober that night.
The car is damaged
Some proponents of this theory believe that the seat belts in the car failed due to sabotage. But when the ambulances reached the wrecked vehicle, it was clear that neither Diana nor Dodi was wearing seat belts. Operation Paget confirmed this view and underlined that French investigators noted in 1998 that all seat belts in the car were in good working order.
Diana’s doctors were involved.
One of the biggest claims is that Diana died not from a collision, but from the negligence of the doctors at the crash site. The princess was examined at the crime scene for a long time before she was finally taken to the hospital. Conspiracy theorists also believe that he was not taken to the nearest hospital that night to be sure he died.
None of the CCTV cameras in the tunnel were working at the time of the accident.
According to an independent newspaper, about 14 security cameras were installed in the Pont de l’Alma underpass, but none of them recorded the fatal collision, leading to speculation of a conspiracy.
Employees tried to use a camera to view the crash site in Alma Square, but that was not possible, according to the Paget investigation. Only a blurry yellow light was visible on the screen. But it can also be caused by the fact that they are corrupted.
Mysterious Fiat Uno
Witness Sabine Dawsonn said she saw a white Fiat Uno with Paris license plates coming out of the tunnel after the crash, and described the driver burning in the sun, a confused dog in the back, and the car’s smashed taillight. Martina Monteil of the French homicide department was one of the first to arrive at the scene of the accident and found the car’s white paintwork, parts of a broken taillight, and “little pearls” belonging to the princess.
