Princes William and Harry have called for an end to all the wild speculation about the circumstances surrounding the death of their mother, Princess Diana.
A statement from Clarence House last night said:
"Prince William and Prince Harry are extremely grateful to Lord Stevens and his team for the thoroughness and professionalism they have shown during their investigation, and trust that these conclusive findings will end the speculation surrounding the death of their mother Diana, Princess of Wales."
It seems, however, that nothing will put an end to Mohamed el-Fayed's conspiracy theory that Diana and his son died as the result of an MI6 plot. He dismissed Lord Stevens' report as a "smokescreen."
Fayed has vowed to continue to pursue his suspicions, "Whatever it's going to cost me, if it costs me the last penny in my purse, I'm not going to rest until I get the gangsters."
Bottom line: a drunk driver was driving over 60 mph in a 30 mph zone and crashed into a pillar. The drunk driver was a longtime employee of the Fayed family. End of discussion. No assassin on a grassy knoll, no Prince Philip hit squad, no alien abductions.
ReplyDeleteThe late Quentin Crisp spoke truthfully, if bluntly, that Princess Diana's fast and shallow lifestyle contributed to her own demise: "She could have been Queen of England -- and she was swanning about Paris. What disgraceful behavior. Going about saying she wanted to be the queen of hearts. The vulgarity of it is so overpowering." (Atlanta Southern Voice, 1 July 1999).
Or to put it more kindly, both Diana and her brother, Charles Spencer, suffered from Borderline Personality Disorder caused by their mother's abandonning them as young children. (A google search reveals that Diana is considered a case study in BPD by mental health professionals).
For Charles Spencer, BPD meant insatiable sexual promiscuity (his wife was divorcing him at the time of Diana's death). For Diana, BPD meant intense insecurity and an insatiable need for attention and affection (which even the best husband could never have fulfilled). These sowed the seeds of her fast lifestyle and her tragic fate.
