General Summary
The Princess Diana conspiracy theory holds that Diana, Princess of Wales, did not die in a simple car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997, but was murdered—often on orders from the British royal family or MI6—because her relationship with Dodi al-Fayed (a Muslim) was an embarrassment, or because she was pregnant and engaged and posed a threat to the Crown. Mohamed al-Fayed, Dodi’s father, persistently promoted this theory and funded legal challenges; a British jury in 2008 returned a verdict of “unlawful killing” by driver Henri Paul and the pursuing paparazzi, while a 2007 police inquiry (Operation Paget) found no evidence of a murder conspiracy. Official investigations (French and British) concluded the crash was caused by Paul’s drunk driving (three times over the limit), excessive speed, and the car striking a tunnel pillar; Diana was not wearing a seat belt. Other fringe theories include Diana faking her death, arms dealers targeting her over land-mine campaigning, and occult explanations.
The theory fits Government Secrets: a national (UK) coverup of a specific event—the death of the princess—by the state or royals. As the site notes: “The Queen, or someone who wanted to protect the Queen, had her killed.”
