Princess Diana - the first wife of Prince Charles - was one of the most popular women in the world. The queen of hearts, the people's princess… No matter how they called her! A year after her divorce from the Prince of Wales, Lady Di tragically died in a terrible car accident that occurred in Paris, under Alma Square, in an underground tunnel. The date of death of Princess Diana is August 31, 1997. She was 36 years old. Whether the accident was accidental or planned remains a mystery to this day. The question still excites the minds and hearts of hundreds of people.
Circumstances of the tragedy
On the evening of August 30, Lady Dee, accompanied by Egyptian billionaire Dodi al-Fayed, arrived at the restaurant of the Ritz Hotel. After dinner, around midnight, the couple left the hotel building through the back door and got into a black car, in which a security guard and a driver were waiting for them. At 00:15, the Mercedes drove away from the service entrance, moving off abruptly in an attempt to hide from the annoying paparazzi. But the photographers set off in pursuit. The trip was the lastfolk favourite. Only the bodyguard survived the accident, but he can't remember anything because he suffers from amnesia.
The mystery of the death of Princess Diana
Investigators initially blamed the tragedy on reporters chasing a black Mercedes on scooters. A version was put forward that allegedly one of them interfered with the car, and the driver, in an attempt to avoid a collision, crashed into a bridge support. However, eyewitnesses claimed that the paparazzi entered the tunnel later than the Mercedes, which means they could not provoke an accident.
Later, the investigation suggested that at the moment when the car in which Lady Di was in was in the tunnel, there was already another car - a white Fiat Uno. This was confirmed by the fragments found at the scene of the accident and the testimony of some eyewitnesses who testified that they saw a car zigzag out of the tunnel a couple of seconds after the accident. The detective police even determined the year of manufacture and the exact characteristics of the car, but they could not find it or the driver. And later it turned out that one of the most successful and famous Parisian paparazzi, James Andanson, drove a white Fiat. They could not prove that the photographer was involved in the accident that led to the death of Princess Diana. And after some time, Andanson's body was found in a burned-out car in the French Alps.
As new details of the incident became clear, new versions appeared. It has been suggested that the death of Princess Diana is the work of the British intelligence services, which are armed with laser weapons. The media wrotethat a laser may have been used in the tunnel to blind the driver of the Mercedes.
Two years after the tragedy, all the world's newspapers published a new sensational statement made by the investigation. According to the results of the checks, it was found that the fault for what happened lies with Henri Paul, the driver of the car, who also died in this accident. It turned out that he was very drunk at the time of the accident. Until now, this version is considered the main one.
New Facts
16 years have passed, and in the summer of 2013 the world community again began to discuss the death of Princess Diana. And the reason was the new truly sensational evidence. There was information that the death of Lady Dee was set up by the British intelligence services. But has this been discussed before? Yes, but now there are concrete facts. During the trial of a British soldier, it accidentally turned out that he had information that the death of Princess Diana was ordered by an elite unit of British special forces. The information received raises many questions. The London police began to carefully study the new information and promised to evaluate its reliability and adequacy.
