Conspiracy Theory: The Death of Princess Diana

On the night of 31 August 1997, something terrible happened, the death of Princess Diana shocked the world. After the accident, people started to question about the car crash and the incidents surrounding this accident. Over time, more and more conspiracy theories have emerged in succession. Was something wrong with the Mercedes that Diana was traveling in? Did the bright light blind the side of the driver? Where is the White Fiat Uno that appeared in the locale? Was Diana believed that she was going to be killed by the British government? Progressively, people began to think that this tragedy was a conspiracy due to the most widespread concern that this tragedy is the plan of the British establishment.

There are different theories involved in this accident. According to LondonNet research, it said that one of the theories implicates that the British secret service constructs a plot to assassinate Princess Diana. The rogue elements in MI6 were affirming that Princess Diana is a threat to the British government that they should take her out and bring back the stability of the state. From people’s standpoint, people are likely to believe in this theory due to the reason that after Prince Charles’ divorce, the British government was located in a turbulent situation. People’s grievances seem to arise by questioning the government, and most of the people are on the side with Princess Diana. People understand the damage that Prince Charles and the family leave to her. That is why the British government planned the assassination. As Princess Diana becomes the spotlight, the situation of the British government becomes detrimental; the government afraid that the princess will spread the secret of them so they should kill her and bring back the peace of this country. Although this theory has not been proved in the end, it is still one of the most controversial theories of all.

According to the Independent, Andrew Griffin said that the paparazzi might intentionally make the car crash. Paparazzi were the first blamed when this accident happened. At first, people accused Princess Diana’s death was caused by the paparazzi because of the chasing, the car suddenly flips and crashes. Interestingly, this theory brings out three specific forms. First, the paparazzi intentionally create an environment to make the accident happened. Second, the paparazzi created a situation in which conspirators can use it to kill the people in the car. The third suggests that the paparazzi chased and pushed the Mercedes and made the car crash happen. After all the investigation, the official investigator found out that the Mercedes that Diana was in drove very fast to avoid the paparazzi. However, it was not very appropriate to blame the paparazzi wholly because they were doing their job, yet, the paparazzi did not participate in any of this criminal conspiracy. However, it still makes people feel angry about it that the princess should not have died in this way.

Between the paparazzi, driver Henri Paul can be said as one of the most doubtful causes of the accident said by The Guardian. After the accident, new sources appear out by saying that about Henri Paul’s blood test, which has carried out the result that he has been drinking before he drove the Mercedes. More than that, “The inquest has heard from various witnesses who have described Paul’s dangerous driving as well as those who have confirmed that the driver had imbibed several alcoholic beverages that evening” said The Guardian. This conspiracy began to hang over public opinion. Through the investigation, more and more rumors appear, there are also allegations point at Paul by saying that he was being paid by the British security service to kill the couple. The supporting evidence comes from the money in his possession at the time after his death. More and more rumors appear, which makes people feel more confused about this incident.

Through the various conspiracy theories about the Death of Princess Diana, there is an interesting one by knowing that there was just one car, which was involved in this accident, the white Fiat Uno said by Marissa Laliberte from Reader’s Digest. Some witnesses even said that they saw the white car driving haphazardly away from the scene after the accident happened than the question came after that “Where is the white Fiat Uno?” Unfortunately, the white car has been found the fire in the wood three years after the accident. People started to say that the white Fiat Uno is the cause of Diana’s death.

After these different conspiracies, it is still tough to acknowledge that what is the real reason that causes this accident to happen, but one thing for sure is that the reasons for the emergence of these conspiracies that how people care about Princess Diana and the accident that happened on her. Therefore, which conspiracies do you choose to believe?
