Diana’s death. This makes for interesting reading

I'd be interested in watching that.

Its no surprise she had problems as a child, given the family situation.

Really dont know if I misheard , will keep a look out.
Cant believe 25 years have gone by so quickly.

Its no surprise she had problems as a child, given the family situation.

I remember that photo' of her as a fresh-faced 16 (I think) year old. She looked so innocent and naïve. It's sort of rather haunting now to look at it.

She and Charles were manipulated into a marriage that was doomed from the start. Mind you, the benefit of hindsight...

She should've carried on being a 'Sloanie' and married someone similar nearer her own age, she might have had some kind of normality in her life to compensate for her upbringing. And still be alive.

Princess Diana was not pregnant.
She was not engaged to Dodi.
She had had numerous boyfriends and he was just the next in line. She would never have married him.
Henri Paul was not drunk.
At the beginning of her marriage she was in love with Charles. She did not know about Camilla then.
Such a sad story as far as love was concerned.
However she did a lot of good in her life and people remember that.

How on earth could anyone have actually planned this fatal accident? No one in advance could possibly have known what route the driver would take, that Diana would fail to wear a seat belt, that the driver, who was apparently not on duty that night as they hadn't planned to go anywhere, was drunk. Dodi apparently insisted that he drove when the plan, for some weird reason, changed, driver should have refused but no one said NO to Dodi! Her security officer was the only one wearing a seat belt and that's how he survived. Why the others weren't is a complete mystery. Had Diana done so, she would in all probability survived. I think murder would have to have had a more cast iron plan than an off the cuff midnight car ride!

I'm sorry, but Diana certainly knew about Camilla when she married,she nearly called it off, but as her sister pointed out, their faces were on the tea towels.Henri Paul was found to be unfit to drive. As for the rest, who knows what her plans were.

Already within two pages, we have different versions of events.
How can that still be so?

We'll never know for sure will we MissA.

No, that's the only thing we can be sure of.
I'm quite intrigued by it all though.

I read somewhere that security guards are not allowed to wear seat belts when 'on duty'.

I'm pretty sure the bodyguard (Trevor) did put his on, perhaps because they were speeding?

Me too. The tunnel was hosed down rather quickly after the accident and Mercedes weren't allowed to inspect the car to ensure there wasn't a mechanical fault.

There was supposedly shorter route to the hospital than the one the ambulance took. There have always been questions regarding the validity of the driver's blood test results.

Again , Trevor Rees Jones was wearing a seatbelt

I think the version I have is that the driver had a heavy cold and had taken a couple of doses of cold remedy, and had a couple of drinks.
I think he was a heavy drinker, anyway.

Why are we wasting space on this?

Because we want to.

I am becoming intrigued too, so consulting mr google. Cousin of dr Google who I try to avoid if I can. He always paints such a negative picture.

I wonder if google results will vary the narrative?
I'd lost interest in it all, but I saw the book in a charity shop so decided to give it a read.

It sparked up my interest a bit, again.

Trevor Rees Jones was not wearing a seatbelt

Not true. He was the only one wearing a seatbelt and the only one to survive the crash.

The car involved in the crash was in a pool of cars belonging to The Ritz which was owned by Al Fayed. It was not safe to drive.

Maybe you know someone who can drink 11 pints of beer and still be standing but 11 shots of whiskey?

Where is the 11 shots of whiskey stated as fact, though?
Ps. I do know of someone who could drink that much, and function reasonably well.

Oh, sorry.
I didn't mean to write ps.
Apologies.

I feel sorry for Diana. She must have spent years trusting her security team, and jumping into cars and planes etc knowing they had it all covered. This time she was let down.
