Death of Princess Diana. The mysterious death of Princess Diana continues to excite the public Who killed the princess

Lady Diana. Princess of human hearts Benoit Sophia

Chapter 22

Unexpectedly, in the UK, and for the umpteenth time, they decided to reopen the investigation into the death of Princess Diana. However, this time the reason is very serious - new data received from former employees of the British intelligence services. Under suspicion is one of the special forces of the British army, whose employees could be involved in the death of Princess Diana. The details of this sensational version were presented to the Russian audience by the journalists of the popular program “Military Secret with Igor Prokopenko”, and some of the exclusive reports were recorded right in London. Meanwhile, the involvement of the British military in the murder of the "People's Princess" is now being actively checked by Scotland Yard. And only the royal house pretends that nothing is happening.

Danny Nightingale, a retired British Army sergeant, most recently served in the Special Air Service (SAS; SAS), one of the most elite British special forces units. Over the five years of his service, Nightingale managed to visit both Iraq and Afghanistan. But then he retired and was on trial for illegal possession of weapons. During the hearing of the case, a letter from a friend of Nightingale, also an SAS commando, surfaced in court. In the letter, the fighter admits that he participated in the murder of Princess Diana. Moreover, in this letter, he even reports what weapon he used - an ultra-modern laser rifle. And such weapons are often used by the military to blind helicopter pilots; after being blinded, they completely lose control and cannot see what they are doing. However, this weapon is used in other situations.

After Danny Nightingale was arrested for illegal possession of a weapon, new facts about the death of Princess Diana surfaced

There are also reports that the ex-wife of a certain soldier (name not mentioned) testified against her ex-husband. Investigators found that a couple of years ago, the girl's parents sent a letter to the leadership of the British Special Air Service, which said that the former military man told their daughter that it was allegedly the SAS unit that was behind the organization of Diana's murder.

Let's reconstruct the events. The princess, her fiancé al-Fayed and driver Henri Paul died on 31 August 1997. Their car crashed into a tunnel support at full speed near the Pont Alma in Paris. The ambulance arrived within minutes. Doctors declared the death of Dodi al-Fayed and the driver Paul Henri on the spot. The bodyguard and Princess Diana were still showing signs of life. According to doctors, Diana had a chance to survive if she was immediately taken to the nearest hospital. After all, even her guard, the only one who survived, suffered much more seriously than Diana. However, something completely incomprehensible happened: Princess Diana was not taken to the Val-de-Grâce military hospital, where VIPs are usually treated and which is literally a stone's throw from the accident site. And they were taken to the Pitier-Salpêtrière hospital, located six kilometers from the site of the tragedy. But at the same time, the ambulance with the dying Diana drove these six kilometers ... one hour and forty-three minutes (!?).

According to the initial version, expressed by the investigation, several reporters who traveled on motor scooters were to blame for the accident. They pursued the black Mercedes in which Diana and her companion were, and one of the persistent paparazzi interfered with the princess's car. The driver of the Mercedes, trying to avoid the collision, crashed into the concrete support of the bridge. But almost immediately, too many doubted that the perpetrators of the tragedy were the paparazzi. According to eyewitnesses, they entered the tunnel a few seconds after Diana's Mercedes, and, therefore, could not cause a disaster. Soon the phrase was heard at the court: “There are no signs of an unintentional crime in the actions of the photographers, which led to the death of Diana.”

The last moments of Diana's life. The princess and Dodi are seen in the back seat of the car. Driver Henri Paul looks into the camera lens, and next to him, from behind a light-protective visor, bodyguard Trevor Reese looks out - the only one who survived after the disaster. Photos from the scene of the accident were published only a few years after the tragedy.

Another strange nuance. Only a few years ago, details became known that for some reason were hidden. It turned out that as soon as a black Mercedes drove into the tunnel, a bright flash of light suddenly cut the twilight. It was so powerful that everyone who watched it was blinded for a few seconds. A moment later, the silence of the night was blasted by the screech of brakes and the terrible sound of impact. It turned out that the police did not want to enter the mention of a flash of light in the protocols, and if they did this under pressure from a few witnesses, they were clearly reluctant. The only witness who was driving out of the tunnel during the accident was deemed… unreliable, although he was only a few meters from the scene of the tragedy.

After the voiced evidence, a former MI6 employee, Richard Tomplisen, spoke with a strange flash of light. Who said that the circumstances of the death of Princess Diana remind him of a plan to assassinate Slobodan Milosevic, developed in the bowels of the British intelligence services. The Yugoslav president was about to be blinded in a tunnel by a powerful flash. The scenario, as we see, can be identical. But how to prove the practically obvious?

The film crew of REN-TV met in London with Alan Power, a man who has been conducting an independent investigation for the past few years. He confirmed the version that Diana was killed during the operation of the special services:

From witness number one, I learned about what is happening in the intelligence of the Mi-6. He was one of those who developed a plan to assassinate Slobodan Milosevic, President of Serbia, using laser weapons in the tunnel of Geneva and special forces. They were supposed to crash into the car, blind the driver and thereby provoke an accident. They needed supports in the tunnel to increase the chances of death. This scenario repeated itself five years later when Diana was murdered. Detachment C AS on motorcycles drove into the tunnel a minute earlier. Witnesses say they raced past the scene, looked into the car to see if the job had been done, and drove away. One witness said that the motorcyclist made such a gesture as if he had cut his own throat and sped away in an unknown direction.

Photo taken immediately after the accident

It can be added that Alan Power's informants are employees of the British intelligence services MI5 and MI6, and they, without a doubt, should be trusted. The initiator of the scandalous investigation also claims that Princess Diana paid the price for knowing too much, and that she had collected impressive dirt on the royal family. Here's another good excuse to remove the objectionable.

For persuasiveness, you can tell a little more about the elite British unit C AC. Soldiers and officers from twenty-five to thirty-two years old who have served in the army for at least two years can get into it. The selection in the SAS is one of the toughest: the unit occupies one of the first places in the world in terms of the number of deaths during training (!). At first, applicants have to endure five weeks of physical hell, then they are required to run a five-kilometer cross in half an hour and swim three kilometers in an hour and a half in full uniform. Only those who have passed these tests are allowed to take the exams for the title of CAC fighter. One of the training exams is called "The Long Walk" or "The Jolly Dance". In 20 hours, candidates must overcome a route of 60 kilometers through the mountains of South Wales with equipment of 25 kilograms. You need to go from memory, write down something or mark on the map is prohibited. But that's not all. Those who have been selected for the British Special Forces must complete the parachute training of the Royal Air Force, as well as training at the British intelligence school MI-6. As you can see, they are very serious guys who will not joke or talk in vain. It can be added that this unit participated in military special operations in Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and so on.

If the fighters of the elite British unit were really involved in the death of the princess, then who and why needed to order Princess Diana? Experts are sure that the royal family itself could act as customers. But it is unlikely that anyone will ever get written evidence the highest crime.

During the investigation, it turned out that the princess was relentlessly followed, constantly listening to the phone. Some experts believe that the crowned relatives wanted to remove Princess Diana for her affair with the son of an Egyptian billionaire, a Muslim, Dodi al-Fayed. Writer Olga Greig believes that this could hardly be the reason, although representatives of the Windsor family could express dissatisfaction with such a thoughtless connection from the point of view of the Crown.

If we assume that Lady Di was really pregnant by Dodi al-Fayed, then, of course, she would have married this man, who bought wedding rings on the last day. But the British royal family was hardly ready to intermarry with Muslim billionaires, even with the family that pays millions in taxes to the treasury. The main complaint is Dodi's maternal uncle, the Saudi billionaire Adnan Kashoggi, who is considered one of the largest arms dealers in the world, associated with international crime families. But some experts are sure that most of all in Buckingham Palace they were afraid of the family compromising evidence that Diana had. But what unpleasant secrets of the royal court could the dead princess know? This is the big mystery...

Adnan Kashoggi - Dodi al-Fayed's uncle, arms dealer. Perhaps because of him, the British royal family was not ready to intermarry with Muslim billionaires?

In the light of what has been said, it can also be added that in the nineties - during the years of the destruction of the marriage of Diana and Charles - the Windsors approached the fatal line: there was talk of the decline of the royal house and the impending collapse of the monarchy in Great Britain. It was clear that the death of the monarchy is a blow to the security of the country and its unity. If we recall, it was during these years that Scotland and Wales were striving for independence, so that the United Kingdom was bursting at the seams. But Diana was far from politics, and it is unlikely that she had compromising evidence of a political nature. If we are still talking about compromising evidence (a topic that arose as suddenly as the confessions of some or some SAS officer), then it should be assumed that it is of a personal nature and can be related to either the Queen or Prince Charles, or touch all the Windsors a little . It is clear that the queen is a symbol, and must be impeccable. But the whole British royal house is so far from perfection! The family closet of this crowned family contains a mass of ancient rotten skeletons, each of which, if pulled out into the light in time, can undermine the institution of the British monarchy.

Photos of the young Prince Philip, the future husband of Queen Elizabeth II, have already been posted in the public domain. They depict the Duke of Edinburgh in a real underground brothel. Before marrying Elizabeth, Prince Philip often hosted sex parties, and the royal photographer, Baron, filmed everything. Judging by the dates of the pictures, the entertainment of friends in the company of naked girls continued even years after the marriage of Philip and Elizabeth and the birth of their first child, Prince Charles, Lady Diana's future husband. Who will behave almost the same as his dad, and will not be able to make happy the young wife in love with him - Princess Diana. And how could, and most importantly - did Elizabeth, once humiliated by her riotous husband, want to help Dee when she came to her for advice?

Rumors about her husband's adventures reached Elizabeth, a scandal so grandiose broke out that even the British Parliament held three secret meetings on this ridiculously heinous occasion. The secret services intervened, and the secret brothel "Thursday Club" was destroyed, the prodigal Philip was isolated from the friends of his youth, and the photographer Baron, who did not complain about his health, suddenly died of a heart attack.

Coat of arms of the Windsor dynasty

Such is the law of those in power: everyone who knows a lot, sooner or later, suddenly leaves for another world ... Isn't this the fate of the unfortunate Diana, who could not competently protect herself?

After a high-profile scandal with compromising photos, Prince Harry was sent to Afghanistan in order to improve the image of the royal family

The royal family has always had something to hide: both in past years and now. Even the younger generation of Windsors do not have an impeccable reputation. Again, in the open media there are photos of Prince Harry, in which the youngest son of Diana and Charles in nude style comes off at a party in Las Vegas. They say that he has always been distinguished by his love for a wild lifestyle and did not hesitate to post candid pictures from private parties (well, how not to say: all in his grandfather). But both bare royal ass and appearing in a public place in a Nazi uniform got away with Harry. “The granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth is playing a trick,” shrug the servants of the royal palaces and estates, accustomed to the selfish and unhealthy antics of the whole family. They joke, but they know: time will pass, and the “cute igruns” will be put in their place by their highest royal relatives. Despite his rampant behavior, Prince Harry served in the royal armed forces in Afghanistan's Gilman province. Naturally, the decision to serve the younger prince, a graduate of the Royal Military Academy, was made by the family. With the blessing of his grandmother, the “brave prince” set off to conquer this time not just another cereal establishment in London, but the deaf steppes of Afghanistan. This was also captured by photography and film. In the footage, a couple of hundred meters from the front line, one of the eight thousand British soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, Lieutenant Wells, is firing at the Taliban - under this fictitious name and in such a modest rank, the third contender for the British crown served - twenty-four-year-old Prince Harry of Wales, son Lady Diana and Prince Charles. But all experts unanimously say: it was a PR campaign aimed at improving the image of a member of the royal family. And we see that the military career of the red-haired offspring of the Windsors-Spencers was not prevented by any “banter” in public, or disregard for the opinion of society, or even ... experiments with marijuana. But because of his addiction to drugs, Harry had to undergo treatment at a drug treatment clinic. And, oddly enough, it is he, a frequenter of nightclubs, who will have to increase the prestige of the British monarchy, which has been greatly shaken after the death of Lady Diana. Him and his brother. And dear Kate, the daughter-in-law of the royal couple, who not so long ago presented a new heir to the British Crown. They - because Prince Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla, have no chance to raise the prestige of the country, and never will. The author cannot resist the temptation to give here the opinion of the people, citing excerpts from the dialogue of the members of the forum about the whole story with Lady Diana and the role of Camilla in the fate of Britain. But first, the news of 2011, which shocked the British to some extent, and gave reason to scoff at the main characters of this information: “One of the most controversial people in the English court, Camilla Parker-Bowles, again appears in the eyes of the public not in the most positive form. According to the American tabloid The Globe, Camilla is threatening to file for divorce from Prince Charles. And all because the duchess despaired of becoming the owner of the English crown. According to the last will of Queen Elizabeth II, after her death, the throne will not be taken by her son Charles, as previously assumed, but by her grandson, 31-year-old Prince William. The British love the young and educated son of Princess Diana, and William is already preparing with might and main to become the future monarch of Britain. However, according to the publication, this state of affairs plunges Charles's wife into a rage (isn't that why Camilla expressed her "suspicions" aloud that Prince William's wife Kate Middleton was cheating on her husband and even gave birth to a "bastard"? - Auth.). Camilla, who of late had periodically begged Charles not to be a "weakling" and to fight for her rightful right to the throne, despaired and decided to file for divorce. But due to the fact that over the many years of her life in Kensington Palace she learned a lot of court secrets and intrigues, Camilla is not averse to receiving a solid compensation “for silence” from her husband. 350 million dollars are at stake! .. As one of the confidants of the English court said in an interview with The Globe, on a nervous basis, Camilla almost every day makes scandals to Charles and abuses alcohol.

According to the will of Queen Elizabeth II, after her death, the throne will not be taken by her son Charles, as previously assumed, but by her grandson, Prince William

Numerous users reacted to the appearance of the news on the Web.

Nonsense. Taking into account the fact that Camilla has been twirling this heifer all her life as she wants, it is not known who will rule there. That's what he needs, the old goat.

And Diana was already married at the age of 19 and was a wonderful wife of the king, as she was a classy princess. But Charles chose a different path, betrayed his wife and children. Paid with the love of the people and the crown. Who wants to see this dumb couple on the throne? And everything in it is endless complexes and rottenness of nature. It is so profitable to be born and so disgusting to live.

From the very beginning, it was clear that Diana's death was not just a fatal coincidence, but a targeted murder. Marriage of Charles and Camilla - on the blood!

They have nothing to do on the throne. And they do not enjoy respect in their own country.

You can see in Camilla's face: the woman is very cunning and smart. She needs this shabby Charles, she needed power!

The wife of a king who dreams of being her tampon can do whatever she wants with him and the kingdom to boot. It is absolutely unimportant how her status will be called in this case.

Yes, here the throne does not shine for anyone, except for Kate's son. These queens are so long-lived; Charles was still waiting for the throne, the sand is already pouring from the very beginning, and my mother will outlive everyone. After Louis XIV, his great-grandson ascended the throne, in the case of the current English, exactly the newborn son of William and Kate - George.

It would be better if the British grandmother Lisa gave the throne to the youngest, Garrick. This king would at least buzz like a true king, on a grand scale. There is something in it, medieval. And Willy is boring, boring, and his wife is some kind of dried mummy.

Camilla wants a divorce because she realized that she doesn’t have a king-husband, and she doesn’t need an eternal old prince.

The British want to see William on the throne after Baba Lisa. They can be understood: the young, handsome, educated son of Diana, whom they still adore ...

They talked a lot about her during her lifetime and continue to talk about her after her death. But people still do not know who she is - the woman who turned the world upside down, or the "queen of the gas station"? Beauty or ugly? Righteous or mean girl? Why did you prefer Muslims in bed? Why, after parting with her husband, did she carefully keep his photographs? How many men did the English princess have and from whom did she actually give birth to children? These secrets were not buried on the fateful night of August 30-31, 1997, when the loudest car accident of the 20th century occurred. It's hard to believe that twelve years have passed since Lady Di's death.
third extra
Lady Diana Francis Spencer was born on 1 July 1961 at the Park House family estate. Her father, Viscount Althorp, 8th Earl Spencer, served as equerry under King George VI and later under Elizabeth II. Diana's maternal grandmother was a lady-in-waiting to the Queen herself.
Earl Spencer was not happy with the third daughter, he dreamed of an heir to his noble family. But when the baby first looked into his eyes, he somehow immediately realized that the girl had a great future.
Diana was - the very charm. The frisky cat Marmalade could sleep for hours on the baby's lap, and she carefully guarded his sleep. She also liked to mess with birds and hamsters in the alleys of the old park.
But the relationship of Diana's parents after her birth began to deteriorate. These constant quarrels terrified the baby. She loved both her father and mother equally. And her parents constantly put her before a choice, figuring out which of them she loves more. For example, dad and mom gave her a dress at the same time and jealously watched which one she would wear for her friend's birthday.
When Diana was eight, her mother left the children to her father and married a wealthy industrialist. Lady Spencer justified herself with great and pure love, which she supposedly had never experienced before. And for the first time, little Diana realized that even her own mother can betray and that you can’t trust anyone in this world at all. She swore that she would not repeat the fate of her parents.
The father, as he could, was engaged in raising children. He sent Diana to a private school, after which she studied for several years in France and Switzerland. Returning to England, the young noble lady began to work as a teacher at the school.
Diana's friend Caroline Bartholomew writes: "She had a special aura that protected her from the claims of men. Whether they wanted it or not, they always had to keep their distance. She was surrounded by a golden halo of being chosen."
Adam Russell, who had just graduated from Oxford, before leaving for the traditional journey for university graduates, plucked up courage and made an offer to Diana. But when he returned home, his friends told him: "You have only one rival - the Prince of Wales."
You can't escape fate
The Spencer estate was next door to the Norfolk estate, which belonged to the queen. This gave the Spencers the opportunity to communicate with the august family. The first time Prince Charles met Diana was back in 1977 when he was on a hunting trip at the invitation of her father.
Diana then did not even dream of a wedding with a real prince. In addition, he paid attention to her older sister Sarah, who was more sociable and direct. But you can't escape fate. One day, Diana was sitting in the hayloft, and the prince passed by. Seeing the girl, he sat down next to her. At first they were just silent. Then Diana, overcoming embarrassment, expressed sympathy to Charles over the death of his grandfather, Earl Mountbatten, who was killed by terrorists: "I saw you at the service in the church. You seemed so suffering and lonely to me. Someone should take care of you." They did not part again that evening. Diana captivated the prince with her modesty and tact. And she was struck down by refined manners and the bewitching coldness of the heir to the throne.
Diana was twelve years younger than Charles. And Queen Elizabeth II was just looking for a suitable bride for her son. She could not allow the wedding with the then beloved of Charles Camilla Shand, who was 16 months older than the prince and did not differ in good manners and noble birth. Diana Spencer was the perfect bride for the future English monarch. She played the piano perfectly, knew several languages, was pretty, and most importantly, she did not have a tarnished reputation. And the queen made a fateful decision.
The very next morning, Lady Dee was attacked by journalists, her photographs were in all newspapers and magazines. The lovers did not delay for a long time and soon announced their engagement. And on February 24, 1981, the magnificent wedding ceremony of Diana Spencer and Prince Charles took place in St. Paul's Cathedral. Lady Di became the first Englishwoman in three hundred years who did not belong to the royal family, but at the same time married the heir to the throne.
"You Won't Get It"
The family happiness of the newly-made princess did not last long. She wanted care and affection, dreamed that her own family, unlike her parents, would be built on love and mutual respect. But brought up in strict rules, the prince was not used to expressing his emotions violently. And the emotions of his wife were of no interest to him. The views and tastes of the spouses did not coincide. She hated etiquette, and he - the simplicity and openness of the groom's daughter.
Diana soon realized that she would not be either the Queen of England or the mistress of the heart of Prince Charles: "The inner voice clearly said: you will not get this," she recalled.
On June 21, 1982, Diana gave birth to a son, William. The birth was very difficult and after them the princess fell into depression. On September 15, 1984, when his second son, Harry, was born, Charles stated that he dreamed of a girl, and not of a red-haired boy. Diana was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Because of this, she began to have bouts of gluttony, in the press there were even rumors about suicide attempts by the princess.
And Charles added fuel to the fire every day. In 1985, the press started talking about the fact that the prince had resumed relations with his former lover Camilla - by that time she had married and had the surname Parker-Bowles. The secret was revealed through the efforts of the butler Burrell, whom Diana called "my sister" for his love of sincere conversations. It was he who found the letters of Prince Charles to his mistress and told the princess about them.
She was horrified. Still, in one of the letters, Charles wrote to Camille that he would like to "be her tampax."
Diana felt betrayed again. All dreams collapsed like a house of cards. There was no way back to a happy family life. And she decided to get even with her husband by starting her own game.
The deceived princess very quickly won popular love. She was not afraid to shake hands with an AIDS patient, flew on a peacekeeping mission to Angola, and her pictures in a bulletproof vest and helmet spread all over the world. Then Diana went to Bosnia to show the world the terrible consequences of the use of anti-personnel mines and to achieve their ban.
While Prince Charles appeared on television with indistinct moralizing monologues, Diana was constantly in the thick of things and did charity work. England fell in love with a young princess. And the royal family found itself in the shadow of the ubiquitous groom's daughter, having shamefully lost the media war to her.
List of Lady Dee's men
Having won the battle for people's love, Diana did not forget about her personal life. The journalists of the German newspaper "Bild" counted 14 lovers with her. And some appeared even before the divorce from Charles.
Actor Kevin Costner, for example, was clearly very fond of the English princess, but reporters admitted that it was impossible to talk about their relationship for sure. Lawyer Anthony Julius, who represented Diana in the divorce proceedings, and writer Jeffrey Archer also came under suspicion, but nothing more.
But Diana's close relationship with rock star Bryan Adams was almost beyond doubt. Lady Di's caress was also rewarded by her bodyguard Beri Mennaki, but Prince Charles exposed this connection and fired the impudent one.
Berry soon died in a car accident. Diana believed that this was the revenge of the royal family.
Major James Hewitt and antiques dealer Oliver Hoare, with whom Diana met for three years after meeting in a sports club, are also included among the well-known suitors of the princess. She also favored the famous rugby player Will Curling. And her greatest love is the Pakistani cardiac surgeon Hasnat Khan.
The list of Lady Di's men continues with the American billionaire Teddy Fortsman and the owner of the Indian electronic company Gulu Lavlani, who, three months before Diana's death, offered her a hand and a heart. The head of the Lotus automobile concern, James Geely, and Major David Waterhouse, who accompanied Diana on ski trips and rock concerts, could not resist the charm of the beauty. With him in 1992, Diana was going to go on vacation to Austria, but did not dare. The story of Lady Dee's sexual relations ends with two Toms from Hollywood - Cruz and Hanks.
And then she met Dodi al-Fayed, the son of a successful businessman, a professional playboy and a mediocre film producer.
Diana appointed the butler Burrell as the main assistant in her love pleasures - it was he who brought numerous lovers to Kensington Palace, hiding them in the trunk of his car so that the guards would not see. She bought dozens of pregnancy tests because she dreamed of giving birth to a child from anyone, if only not from Charles. The princess's lovers did not use condoms at her request. Burrell told how, on her penultimate birthday, Diana met Hasnat Khan, a Pakistani brought in the trunk, dressed in a fur coat over her naked body. From Muslims, she was generally crazy. Apparently, she liked their hot temperament.
Healer Simone Simmons, whom Diana met in 1993, in her book "Diana: The Last Word" published the name of another lover of the princess - John F. Kennedy Jr. Their romance, according to the words of the psychic, lasted only one night. They loved each other at the Carlisle Hotel, where Marilyn Monroe and President Kennedy had met thirty years earlier. Diana gave the slain president's son a ten out of ten.
No more princess
But Diana called her lawful spouse "a hopeless lover." On the videotape, which was made in 1993, Diana says that Charles performed his marital duties no more than once every three weeks. The princess also says that she repeatedly turned to her mother-in-law with complaints about the behavior of her husband, who cheated on her without but the Queen ignored the requests for help.And four years after the wedding, Diana's sex life with Charles stopped completely.In 1996, Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially terminated their marriage.
But Charles, even after that, did not leave Diana alone. He demanded to confirm his paternity in relation to the younger unwanted son. DNA analysis confirmed that Harry is still the son of Charles. But the inhabitants of Windsor Castle have long suspected the paternity of the red-haired riding instructor James Hewitt. Simon Simmons tells this story in his book.
The healer calls Diana's relationship with Dodi al-Fayed "platonic". Lady Di tried to rid Dodi of addiction to cocaine. Diana herself tried this drug in her youth, and then she became so ill that she vowed not to use it again.
However, Mohammed al-Fayed claims that Diana and his son were expecting a child and were about to get married. However, this information has been refuted. Ten days before her death, Diana visited one of the London clinics, and her doctor said that the princess was not pregnant.
Perhaps Diana really dreamed of a third child, but in fact she could not cope with two. Witnesses claim that high-profile scandals occurred so often between Diana and her sons that they became almost strangers. Diana, according to eyewitnesses, was a useless mother. The king of Parisian fashion, Karl Lagerfeld, is sure that Prince Charles made the right choice by parting with her: "Diana was sweet and pretty, but stupid." But the new wife of the prince, Camilla, according to the fashion designer, is perfection itself, only the public, unfortunately, cannot understand this.
On the last journey
After the tragic death of Lady Dee, her butler released a letter in which the princess claimed that her life "is in the most dangerous phase" (the word "dangerous" is underlined twice). "Someone is planning an 'accident' in my car, brake damage and a serious head injury in order to open the way for Charles to remarry," writes Diana.
Exactly ten months after the princess poured out her anxieties on paper, she died. The official version of the car accident - that the driver was drunk, and Diana and her lover were not wearing seat belts, in addition, they were pursued by insatiable journalists. However, this official version is regularly refuted.
Some journalists claim that the cause of the tragedy was a change in the route of the car, others say that the accident in the tunnel was rigged on the orders of Prince Charles himself. Still others claim that the cause of the disaster was a bright beam of light seen by some, blinding the driver. There are also those who are sure that Osama bin Laden set up the death of Lady Di, outraged that the princess inspired Muslim women around the world to fight their plight.
... Even the past twelve years have not changed anything in society's attitude towards Princess Diana. Although, it would seem, time should have sobered us up. For example, it's time to admit that her beauty is a big question (where do beautiful women come from in England?). That she was a bad wife and mother. That she really, to put it mildly, did not have a great mind.
This unremarkable girl at the age of twenty became an English princess, received worldwide fame and popular love, after all, she was a happy mother of two children. If you have such a chance, it is rather strange in this situation to complain about the coldness of your spouse and the inconvenience caused by palace etiquette. Life cannot be made up of pleasures alone. Even people of royal blood have a heavy burden to bear. But Diana did not understand this. She publicly took revenge on Elizabeth and Charles for her "trouble" and "unfulfilled dream." She took a malevolent pleasure in receiving a Pakistani cardiac surgeon at the royal palace, delivered in the trunk. She enjoyed her viciousness and at the same time made an innocent look: "Am I to blame for this?"
Surprisingly, the juicy details of the biography did not prevent enthusiasts from starting collecting signatures for the canonization of Diana as a saint... Author: V.Konstantinov

The crash happened just after midnight on August 31, 1997. Limousine carrying Diana, Princess of Walesand her then-lover Dodi Al-Fayed, the son of an Egyptian billionaire, collided with a pole in the Alma Tunnel in central Paris. Al Fayed and driver Henri Paul died at the scene. Diana was taken by ambulance to the Piti-Salpêtrière hospital, where she died a few hours later from cardiac arrest.

Only Al Fayed's bodyguard survived the crash.

When Diana was buriedOn September 6, millions of people lined the streets of London to watch the funeral procession. And on TV, at least two billion people around the world watched her funeral.

Her brother, the 9th Earl Spencer, praised Diana as "the very essence of compassion, duty, style, beauty".

Conspiracy Theory #1: The paparazzi did it

From the moment Prince Charles showed interest in the young and attractive Lady Diana Spencer in 1980, she has been hounded by the press. She was to become the most famous woman in the world - her every act, no matter how private or trivial, was carefully photographed, documented and splashed all over the pages of the tabloids.

Up until the moment of her death, the press pursued her.

Among the first details about the crash in which Diana died was the fact that the limousine driver was accelerating to avoid the paparazzi. No wonder they were immediately blamed. Critics called them "legalized stalkers", "cowardly killers" and simply "murderers". And, of course, they are responsible for participating in a high-speed chase in very dangerous conditions.

However, autopsy results soon showed that Henri Paul, the driver, had a blood alcohol level of at least three times the legal limit. At the end of the two-year investigation, the paparazzi were largely acquitted, and the dominance of the blame in official circles at least shifted to Paul.

Conspiracy Theory #2: The Royal Family Did It

However, not everyone was happy with the official version of events. Hours after the announcement of her death, rumors began to swirl of a plot to kill Princess Diana. The main culprits: the royal family with the assistance of British intelligence.

Why, you ask windsor house wanted Princess Diana to die? There was talk that Diana was going to marry a Muslim Dodi Al Fayed, who would become a stepfather to Princes William and Harry, heirs to the British throne. There was even speculation that Diana was pregnant with Al Fayed's child.

Mohamed Al-Fayeda, Dodi's father, who still refuses to believe that the fatal accident was a mere accident, was and remains a fierce proponent of this theory.

It has also been suggested that the conspirators used an unnamed Fiat Uno to block the limousine's path, causing it to collide with a pole. Finally, it was suspicious that not a single surveillance camera was working along the route of the car. Etc.

But no conclusive evidence of government involvement in the accident has ever been found.

Conspiracy Theory #3: Al Fayed's enemies did it

Another theory put forward by those who refuse to accept the official explanation is a group of shadowy figures clustered under the heading "Enemies of Al Fayed". In this version of events, the real target of the assassination was Dodi Al Fayed. The motive was revenge on his father. Diana's death was accidental or a diversion at best.

Of course, a man as rich and powerful as Mohamed Al Fayed could acquire powerful enemies over the years, but… who are they? What are their names? Where is the proof? Nothing tangible has ever been put forward. One would think that if this scenario were even true, Al Fayed himself would long ago have demanded a proper investigation and punishment of the actual offenders.

Conspiracy Theory #4: Diana did it herself

Without a doubt, the most bizarre conspiracy theory put forward to explain the events of August 31, 1997 revolves around the allegation that Princess Diana faked her own death. With the help of Dodi and his family's vast wealth, Diana carefully planned the "accident" as a front so the couple could slip away, change their identities, and start a new life away from public scrutiny. This, of course, would mean that the bodies buried in the graves of Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed really belong to someone else.

This might be plausible if there were no post-mortem examination of Diana's body, which is clearly false.

Complete post-mortem autopsy It was carried out on 31 August by Home Office pathologist Dr Robert Chapman, as soon as Diana's remains were returned to England.

Investigators: "It was a tragic accident"

It's hard to imagine a government request more thorough than the 900-page Operation Paget, led by Lord Stevens, former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service, worth £4 million. Investigators have tested every element of the prevailing conspiracy theory. Their conclusions were clear:

“We have concluded that, on all evidence currently available, there was no conspiracy to kill any of the occupants of the car. It was a tragic incident."

Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed

August 31, 1997 in Paris, "Mercedes S280" at great speed away from the chase. Inside the luxury car were Princess Diana, her close friend, the son of the Egyptian billionaire Dodi al-Fayed, and bodyguard Trevor Rhys Jones. Driver Henri Paul was driving. The death of Princess Diana is one of the most mysterious tragedies of the last century. More and more criminologists are convinced that she was killed by order of the royal family.

Diary with compromising evidence

The star couple was followed everywhere by the paparazzi. And on this fateful trip, the car tried to break away from the stubborn photographers. In the tunnel in front of the Alma bridge on the Seine embankment, the car crashed into a concrete fence. The driver and Dodi al-Fayed died immediately, Princess Diana was taken to the hospital, where she also died two hours later.
The only one who managed to survive in a terrible accident was a bodyguard. But he received such head injuries that he lost his memory and could not say anything about the last moments before the accident.

In 2008, as a result of the investigation, an official conclusion was made: the cause of the accident was the enormous speed of the car and the fact that the driver was frankly drunk. In his blood, the amount of alcohol was three times the amount allowed under French law. However, the official version, that is, an attempt to explain the death of Lady Dee, as she was called in the UK, as a banal accident caused doubts among everyone who tried to independently investigate this tragedy.

Photos from the death of Princess Diana

Princess Diana was the wife of Prince Charles, heir to the British throne until 1996. And, of course, she knew the darkest secrets of what happened at the royal court. In particular, she knew the names of high-ranking individuals involved in the arms trade and the production of anti-personnel mines banned worldwide. Therefore, the main alternative version is that the British intelligence services were involved in the death of Diana.

Princess Diana

This version has confirmation. Lawyer Michael Mansfield said that Diana kept a secret diary, which contained not only the names of arms dealers from the top leadership of Britain, but also other dirty secrets of the court. And allegedly, having finally quarreled with her ex-husband, she was going to publish or transfer the diary to Dodi's father, billionaire Mohammed al-Fayed. The publication of such compromising evidence would lead to a catastrophe in all European politics. The British government could not allow this.

By the way, after the death of Diana, this diary was searched for a long time, but, according to official information, they were never found.

How Princess Diana Was Murdered

Another motive for the murder could be the fact that Dodi and Diana, who at the time of her death had already divorced Prince Charles, were going to get married. Thus, the sons of Charles and Diana - princes and heirs to the crown - would become the adopted children of an Arab. This combination seemed unacceptable from the point of view of the ruling dynasty in Great Britain.

These arguments are logically combined with another version - that they did not attempt on Diana at all. Many criminologists believe that the target of the British intelligence services was Dodi al-Fayed, and Diana "fell under the distribution" by accident.

Dodi Al Fayed

The method by which the star couple was eliminated is also unknown. There are many eyewitnesses who at that moment were not far from the crash site. They claim that just before the accident, a flash of light flashed from the tunnel. So bright that it blinded the drivers of other cars and they almost lost control. Immediately after that, there was a screech of brakes and a terrible blow - the Mercedes crashed, in which Princess Diana and Dodi were. It was because of this flash that the blinded Henri Paul lost control and crashed into the fence.

According to many researchers, the SAS, the United Kingdom Special Air Service, orchestrated the disaster. The information surfaced during a military tribunal over Sergeant Danny Nightingale, who served in the SAS. At the trial, he stated that Diana was killed by a sniper from an ultra-modern laser rifle. However, the British police, who tested this version, did not find sufficient evidence to confirm it.

Another curious fact is that Lady Dee seemed to have known about the impending murder months before her death. She made an audio recording in which she gave advice to her son William and his future wife on how to live "when she is gone." Lana Marks, who sewed bags for the princess and often spoke with her, confirmed that Diana's voice was indeed on the tape.

At one time there was a version that someone deliberately damaged the braking system of the Mercedes. The basis for this was the lines from Lady Dee's letter: " I entered the most terrible phase of my life. Anything can happen now. For example, brake failure in my car, accident and death«.

But detailed studies of what was left of the car did not provide convincing evidence of this fact. Private investigations into the death of Princess Diana of Wales are still ongoing. It is likely that new circumstances will be revealed that will shed light on this tragedy.

Vanga on the death of Princess Diana

On the wedding day of Diana and Prince Charles, the famous Bulgarian fortuneteller Vanga made an unexpectedly gloomy prediction. “This wedding will kill the girl. We will die together… she will hear of my death, but we will die together.” Indeed, both women died in August. Vanga - August 11, 1996, and Diana - a year later - August 31, 1997. The proof that Diana's death is a murder is considered by occultists to be that the spirit of the late princess has not calmed down and continues to appear on earth. For example, Chinese tourists who came to Scotland saw the ghost of Diana in the church and even took a picture of it. Ufologists studied the recording, but never came to the conclusion whether it was an optical illusion or the ghost of Lady Dee really appeared.

Diana Spencer is one of the most famous women of the twentieth century, whose tragic fate left a mark on the hearts of her contemporaries. Having become the wife of the heir to the royal throne, she faced betrayal and betrayal and was not afraid to expose the hypocrisy and cruelty of the British monarchy to the world.

The tragic death of Diana was perceived by many as a personal tragedy, a huge number of books, films and musical works are dedicated to her. Why Princess Diana was so popular among the common people, we will try to understand this material.

Childhood and family

Diana Francis Spencer is a representative of an old aristocratic dynasty, the founders of which were the descendants of Kings Charles II and James II. The Duke of Marlborough, Winston Churchill and many other famous Englishmen belonged to her noble family. Her father, John Spencer, held the title of Viscount Eltrop. The mother of the future princess, Frances Ruth (née Roche), was also of noble birth - her father was a baron, and her mother was a confidant and maid of honor of Queen Elizabeth.


Diana became the third girl in the Spencer family, she has two older sisters - Sarah (1955) and Jane (1957). A year before her birth, a tragedy occurred in the family - a boy born on January 12, 1960 died ten hours after birth. This event seriously affected the already less than ideal relationship between the parents, and the birth of Diana could no longer correct this situation. In May 1964, the long-awaited heir Charles was born to the Spencer couple, but their marriage was already bursting at the seams, his father spent all his time hunting and playing cricket, and his mother got a lover.


Diana from early childhood felt like an unnecessary and unloved child, deprived of attention and love. Neither mother nor father ever said simple words to her: "We love you." The divorce of her parents was a shock for an eight-year-old girl, her heart was torn between her father and mother, who no longer wanted to live as one family. Francis left the children to her husband and left for Scotland with her new chosen one, Diana's next meeting with her mother took place only at the wedding ceremony with Prince Charles.


In early childhood, Diana was brought up and educated by governesses and home teachers. In 1968, the girl was sent to the prestigious West Hill Private School, where her older sisters were already studying. Diana loved to dance, drew beautifully, went in for swimming, but the rest of the subjects were given to her with difficulty. She failed her final exams and was left without a matriculation certificate. School failures were due more to lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem than to low intellectual ability.


In 1975, John Spencer inherited the title of earl from his deceased father, and a year later he married Raine, Countess of Dartmouth. The children disliked their stepmother, boycotted her and refused to sit at the same table. Only after the death of her father in 1992, Diana changed her attitude towards this woman and began to warmly communicate with her.


In 1977, the future princess went to Switzerland to continue her education. Homesickness forced her to return without graduating from an educational institution. The girl moved to London and got a job.


In English aristocratic families, it is customary for grown-up children to work on an equal footing with ordinary citizens, so Diana, despite her noble birth, worked as a teacher in the Young England kindergarten, which still exists in the respectable London district of Pimlico and is proud of its connection with the royal family .


She lived in a small apartment given to her by her father as an adult, and led the usual way of life for English youth. At the same time, she was a modest and well-mannered girl, shunned noisy London parties with marijuana and alcohol, and did not start serious novels.

Meeting Prince Charles

Diana's first meeting with Prince Charles took place in 1977 at the Spencer family estate in Althorp. The heir to the British crown then met with her older sister Sarah, the girl was even invited to the palace, which indicated serious plans for her. However, Sarah did not burn with the desire to become a princess, she did not hide her passion for alcohol, because of which she was expelled from school, and hinted at infertility.


The queen was not satisfied with this state of affairs, and she began to consider Diana as a possible bride for her son. And Sarah happily married a calm, reliable man with a wonderful sense of humor, bore him three children and lived a happy family life.

The desire of the queen to marry her son as soon as possible was caused by his relationship with Camilla Shand, a smart, energetic and sexy blonde, but not well-born enough to become the heir to the throne. And Charles liked such women: experienced, sophisticated and ready to carry him in their arms. Camilla was also not averse to becoming a member of the royal family, however, as a smart woman, she had a fallback in the person of officer Andrew Parker-Bowles. But the heart of Andrew for a long time was occupied by Princess Anna, Charles's sister.


The marriage of Camilla and Bowles became a solution to two problems for the royal family at once - at that time Charles served in the Navy, and when he returned, he met his beloved already in the status of a married lady. This did not prevent them from continuing their love relationship, which did not stop with the advent of Lady Diana in the life of Prince. Looking ahead, we add that eight years after the death of Lady Spencer, the prince married Camilla.


Diana, on the other hand, was a modest, pretty girl without a train of scandals and with an excellent pedigree - an excellent match for the future heir to the throne. The queen persistently suggested that her son pay attention to her, and Camilla was not against the marriage of her lover to a young, inexperienced lady who did not pose any threat to her. Submitting to the will of his mother and realizing his duty to the dynasty, the prince invited Diana, first to the royal yacht, and then to the palace, where, in the presence of members of the royal family, he proposed to her.


The official announcement of the engagement took place on February 24, 1981. Lady Dee showed the public a luxurious sapphire and diamond ring, which now adorns the finger of Kate Middleton, the wife of her eldest son.

After the engagement, Diana left her job as a teacher and moved first to the royal residence in Westminster, and then to Buckingham Palace. It was an unpleasant surprise for her that the prince lived in separate apartments, continued to lead his usual way of life and rarely spoiled the bride with attention.


The coldness and aloofness of the royal family had a negative impact on Diana's psyche, childhood fears and insecurities returned to her, and bulimia attacks became more frequent. Before the wedding, the girl lost 12 kilograms, her wedding dress had to be sutured several times. She felt like a stranger in the royal palace, it was difficult for her to get used to the new rules, and the environment seemed cold and hostile.


On July 29, 1981, a magnificent wedding ceremony took place, which was seen on television screens by about a million people. Another 600,000 spectators greeted the wedding procession on the streets of London, all the way to St. Paul's Cathedral. On that day, the territory of Westminster Abbey barely accommodated everyone who wanted to take part in this historic event.

Princess Diana's wedding. Chronicles

There were some incidents - a luxurious taffeta dress was badly wrinkled during a ride in a horse-drawn carriage and did not look the best. In addition, the bride, during the traditional speech at the altar, mixed up the order of the names of Prince Charles, which violated etiquette, and also did not swear to her future husband in eternal obedience. The royal press attachés pretended it was meant to be, permanently changing the text of the wedding vow for members of the British court.

Birth of heirs and problems in family life

After a solemn reception at Buckingham Palace, the newlyweds retired to the Broadlands estate, from where a few days later they went on a wedding cruise in the Mediterranean. When they returned, they settled at Kensington Palace in west London. The prince returned to his usual way of life, and Diana began to expect the appearance of her first child.


Officially, the pregnancy of the Princess of Wales was announced on November 5, 1981, this news caused rejoicing in English society, people were eager to see the heir to the royal dynasty.

Diana spent almost the entire pregnancy in the palace, gloomy and deserted. She was surrounded only by doctors and servants, her husband rarely went into her chambers, and the princess suspected something was wrong. She soon found out about his ongoing relationship with Camilla, which Charles did not even try to hide very much. The betrayal of her husband oppressed the princess, she suffered from jealousy and self-doubt, was almost always sad and depressed.


The birth of the first-born William (06/21/1982) and the second son Harry (09/15/1984) did not change anything in their relationship. Charles still sought comfort in the arms of his mistress, and Lady Di shed bitter tears, suffered from depression and bulimia, and drank handfuls of sedative pills.


The intimate life of the spouses practically came to naught, and the princess had no choice but to find herself another man. They became Captain James Hewitt, a former military man, courageous and sexy. In order to have a reason to see him without arousing suspicion, Diana began to take riding lessons.


James gave her what a woman could not get from her own husband - love, care and the joy of physical intimacy. Their romance lasted nine years, it became known in 1992 from the book Diana: Her True Story by Andrew Morton. Around the same time, records of intimate conversations between Charles and Camilla were made public, which inevitably led to a scandal in the royal family.

Diana and Charles divorce

The reputation of the British monarchy was under serious threat, protest moods were ripening in society, and it was necessary to urgently solve this problem. The situation was aggravated by the fact that Diana, in a little over ten years, became the favorite not only of the British people, but also of the world community, so many stood up for her and accused Charles of misbehaving.

At first, Diana's popularity played into the hands of the royal court. She was called the "queen of hearts", "the sun of Britain" and "the people's princess" and was put on a par with Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor and other great women of the twentieth century.


But over time, this universal love finally destroyed the marriage of Charles and Diana - the prince became jealous of his wife for her fame, and Lady Di, feeling the support of millions, began to boldly and confidently declare her rights. She decided to show the whole world evidence of her husband's infidelities, told her story on a tape recorder and handed over the recordings to the press.


After that, Queen Elizabeth disliked Princess Diana, but the royal family could not stay away from the scandal, and on December 9, 1992, Prime Minister John Major officially announced the decision of Diana and Charles to live separately.


In November 1995, Lady Dee gave the BBC a sensational interview in which she spoke in detail about her suffering caused by her husband's infidelities, palace intrigues and other unworthy acts of members of the royal family.

Candid interview with Princess Diana (1995)

Charles responded by portraying her as a psychopath and hysterical and demanded an official divorce. The queen supported her son, appointed her former daughter-in-law a generous allowance, but deprived her of the title of Your Royal Highness. On August 28, 1996, the divorce proceedings were completed, and Diana again became a free woman.


last years of life

After her divorce from Charles, Lady Dee tried to arrange her personal life again in order to finally find female happiness. By that time, she had already parted with James Hewitt, suspecting him of hypocrisy and greed.

Diana really wanted to believe that men love her not only for her title, but also for her personal qualities, and Pakistani cardiac surgeon Hasnat Khan seemed to her like that. She fell in love with him without looking back, met his parents and even covered her head as a sign of respect for Muslim traditions.


It seemed to her that it was in the Islamic world that a woman is protected and surrounded by love and care, and this was exactly what she was looking for all her life. However, Dr. Khan understood that next to such a woman he would always be forced to remain on the sidelines, and was in no hurry with a marriage proposal.

In the summer of 1997, Diana accepted the invitation of the Egyptian billionaire Mohammed al-Fayed to relax on his yacht. An influential businessman, the owner of luxury real estate in London, wanted to get to know such a popular person better.


So that Diana would not be bored, he invited his son, film producer Dodi al-Fayed, to the yacht. Lady Dee at first considered this trip as a way to arouse jealousy in Dr. Khan, but she herself did not notice how she fell in love with the charming and courteous Dodi.

Tragic death of Princess Diana

On August 31, 1997, Lady Dee and her new lover died in a fatal accident in the center of Paris. Their car crashed into one of the pillars of the underground tunnel at breakneck speed, Dodi and driver Henri Paul died on the spot, and the princess died two hours later at the Salpêtrière clinic.


In the blood of the driver, they found an alcohol content several times higher than the permissible norm, in addition, the car was moving at great speed, trying to break away from the paparazzi chasing him.


The death of Diana was a huge shock to the world community and caused a lot of rumors and speculation. Many blamed the royal family for the death of the princess, believing that the British intelligence services set up this accident. Information appeared in the press that a man on a motorcycle blinded the driver with a laser in order to avoid Diana's pregnancy from a Muslim and the subsequent scandal. However, all this is from the field of conspiracy theories.

Funeral of Princess Diana

All of England mourned the death of the "People's Princess", because before that, not a single person of royal blood had been so loved by the common people. Under pressure from the public, Elizabeth was forced to interrupt her vacation in Scotland and give her former daughter-in-law the necessary honors.

Diana was buried on September 6, 1997 at the Spencer family estate in Althorp, Northamptonshire. Her grave is hidden from prying eyes on a secluded island in the middle of the lake, access to it is limited. Those wishing to honor the memory of the "People's Princess" can visit the memorial located near the burial place.


Reasons for universal love

Princess Diana enjoyed the support of the British, not only because she gave birth to two heirs and dared to publicize the vices of the crown prince. In many ways, this is the result of her charitable work.

For example, Diana became one of the first famous people to talk about the problem of AIDS. The disease was discovered in the early 80s, and even ten years later, little was known about the virus and how it spread. Not all doctors dared to contact those infected with HIV, fearing to catch a deadly disease.

But Diana was not afraid. She visited AIDS treatment centers without a mask and gloves, shook hands with the sick, sat on their bed, asked about their families, hugged and kissed. “HIV does not turn people into danger. You can shake hands with them and hug them, because only God knows how much they need it, ”the princess called.


Traveling around third world countries, Diana communicated with patients with leprosy: “When I met them, I always tried to touch them, hug them, to show that they are not outcasts, not outcasts.”


Having visited Angola in 1997 (there was a civil war going on there at that time), Diana walked through a field that had just been cleared of mines. No one guaranteed complete security - the likelihood that mines remained in the ground was very high. Returning to Britain, Diana launched an anti-mine campaign, urging the army to abandon this type of weapon. “Angola has the highest percentage of amputees. Think about it: one out of 333 Angolans lost a limb to mines.”


During her lifetime, Diana did not achieve "deminization", but her son, Prince Harry, continues her work. He is a patron of The HALO Trust, a charitable organization whose goal is to free the world from mines by 2025, that is, to neutralize all old shells and stop the production of new ones. Volunteers cleared mines in Chechnya, Kosovo, Abkhazia, Ukraine, Angola, Afghanistan.


In her native London, the princess regularly visited centers for the homeless and took Harry and William with her so that they could see the other side of life with their own eyes and learn compassion. Later, Prince William claimed that these visits were a revelation for him and he is grateful to his mother for this opportunity. After Diana's death, he became a patron of the charities she had previously supported.


At least three times a week, she went to children's hospices, where they kept children dying from oncology. Diana spent at least four hours with them. “Some will survive, others will die, but as long as they are alive, they need love. And I will love them,” said the princess.


Diana changed the face of the British monarchy. If earlier they were associated among the common people with yet another suffocating measures like raising taxes, then after her actions, as well as a 1995 BBC interview (“I would like monarchs to have more contact with the people”), the monarchy turned into a defender of the disadvantaged. After the tragic death of Lady Dee, her mission continued.
