Was Princess Diana Murdered by the British Military? (Daily Beast)

[Jackpine Radical]

Secrets, quasi-secrets, and pseudo-secrets seem to be leaking out from everywhere these days.

(N.B. I have no opinion on the factual basis of this story, but offer it as just one more entry in the collective diary of a world gone mad.)

Sixteen years after a fatal car crash in a Parisian tunnel, some argue that questions still remain over the cause of a collision that killed Diana, her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul. Fayed’s father, Mohamed Al Fayed, and a host of conspiracy theorists have claimed that the British military or the royal family were behind the crash.

Since the closure of a formal inquiry into her death, the British police have not considered any of the theories worthy of investigation, until now.

The latest claims originate from the family of a star witness who appeared in a recent court case involving members of the elite SAS Special Forces unit. In a letter written by the estranged in-laws of a man known only as “Soldier N,” it is claimed that the ex-Special Forces operative had boasted that the SAS “was behind Princess Diana’s death” in conversations with his ex-wife.

5. Priness Grace was driving a Rover - literally.

Not a Mercedes aside from which there were no airbags then. Diana was a rear passenger. The rear airbags on a Merc S arm only when the seat belts are engaged - the airbags didn't deploy. Had the airbags deployed she would likely be alive now.

Btw - 'case you hadn't noticed I'm English and that was stock joke here involving another at a later date.

7. More information in the Telegraph:

Excerpt:

The new claims were made in a seven-page handwritten letter written by the parents of the estranged wife of “Soldier N”, a former member of the SAS who was a key prosecution witness at Sgt Nightingale’s trial.

In September 2011 they wrote to the regiment’s commanding officer raising concerns about their son-in-law’s allegedly erratic and threatening behaviour.

The letter, which was censored before being released to the court martial, states: "He [Soldier N] also told her [the daughter] that it was the XXX who arranged Princess Diana’s death and that has been covered up.

The woman’s parents also wrote of how Soldier N had told their daughter he could make her “disappear” and described his “killing escapades” while deployed with the SAS, Channel 4 News reported.
