'''Princess Diana''' {{lived|1961|1997}}, formerly titled '''Diana, Princess of [[Wales]]''' (the style passed to now-Queen Camilla upon her marriage to the Prince, though she never used it owing to its strong association with Diana), née '''Lady Diana Spencer''', was a member of the [[United Kingdom|British]] Royal Family and the first wife of the then Prince Charles, now [[Charles III|King Charles III]]. They [[Marriage|married]] in 1981 and [[divorce]]d in 1996.

''The Globe'' quoted Diana's endorsement of [[colonic]]s as a [[panacea]]:<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040829044710/http://www.koyfmancenter.com/articles.htm Di Cures All Her Ills with Weird Water Therapy] Globe Vol. 40, Number 22 (copy of article text, original source unavailable)</ref>

{{cquote|''For years I've been trying to bury my troubles under mountains of food, but after I binge, I worry about my figure. And I make myself throw up. It's a terrible vicious compulsion. But now that I'm getting regular colonics, I don't worry so much about what I eat. I know all the excess food will be washed away, along with the poisons that cause my terrible headaches. My migraines are caused by food allergies, and I haven't had one since I started the treatments.''}}

She also wore an [[Crystals|amethyst crystal]] given to her by a [[dowsing|dowser]] who used a pendulum to diagnose [[lead]] poisoning while watching her on television.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140729094130/http://princessdianaremembered.wordpress.com/author/roblewtomp/page/169/ Princess Diana believed in healing powers of crystals]</ref>

==Death==
Diana died in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997. The paparazzi were blamed for causing events that led to the crash, as was her driver Henri Paul, who was believed to be [[alcohol|drunk]] at the time. She almost certainly would have survived the crash had she simply been wearing a seat belt. Her place of death has become a magnet for [[grief tourism]], and her death is considered the impetus for the current craze of it in [[Europe]], with the "outpouring" of grief being unprecedented at the time in the UK. 

She has also been the subject of a [[conspiracy theory]] that says she was killed by the Royal Family, and [[MI6]] has been repeatedly implicated in the event — with one former agent claiming the incident was similar to other planned assassinations. An SAS assassin has also been blamed.<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2407571/Princess-Diana-SAS-murder-claim--mad-think-says-SUE-REID.html Diana, that SAS murder claim and why it may not be as mad as you think], Sue Reid, Daily Mail on Sunday, 30 August 2013</ref><ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/449135/Detectives-dismiss-claim-that-the-SAS-killed-Diana Mohamed al Fayed brands latest police probe into Diana's death a "whitewash"], Daily Express, Dec 18, 2013</ref> Conspiracy nutters focus their attention on a mysterious white Fiat Uno, which apparently struck Diana's car a glancing blow but has never been found; Dodi Al-Fayed's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed claimed it belonged to French photojournalist Jean-Paul James Andanson, who died "mysteriously" in 2000, obviously assassinated by someone.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Diana,_Princess_of_Wales_conspiracy_theories#White_Fiat_Uno_and_James_Andanson Death of Diana, Princess of Wales conspiracy theories], [[Wikipedia]]</ref>

Various motives for murder have been proposed, such as the Royals discovering that Diana was pregnant (both the coroner at the time and subsequent blood tests showed this wasn't the case) or possibly about to marry her boyfriend of the time, Dodi Fayed.  As he was a [[Muslim]], such a thing would have been a disgrace (the Royals are more devoutly [[Christian]], or [[Satanism|Satanic]]—well, according to [[David Icke]] anyway—than most people realise). Mohamed Al-Fayed, was one of the key people keeping the conspiracy wheels turning and the ''[[Daily Express]]'' front page is stuck in a 1997-shaped time warp. Diana had allegedly claimed that Prince Charles wanted her dead so he could re-marry.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1573170/Princess-Diana-letter-Charles-plans-to-kill-me.html Princess Diana letter: 'Charles plans to kill me'], Daily Telegraph, 20 Dec 2007</ref>

A more likely theory is that, given the number of flowers thrown at her hearse during the funeral, Diana was murdered by florists who wanted to boost sales. Not ''likely'', of course, just ''more'' likely.

It's worth noting that the crash occurred while Diana and Al-Fayed were being driven by an Al-Fayed employee in an Al-Fayed car from an Al-Fayed hotel to an Al-Fayed house.

==Other stuff==
* She helped create a culture of tolerance towards people with [[HIV/AIDS]]. Many people did not know how AIDS was spread (some thought it could spread by nonsexual contact) and thus people with it were isolated; Diana would visit their wards and hug them or give them handshakes without gloves.<ref>Ian Green (June 30, 2021).
