Life After Death

The British royal family has been an interest to the public for centuries. People cannot seem to get enough of what goes on during their daily rituals, future plans and their impending love interests. Another interest the public cannot seem to stop talking about is the extraordinary life and horrific death of Princess Diana. Her life was broadcasted to the world for years. She was someone who lived an extraordinary life however, Diana is more widely known because of her all too ordinary death. Diana died on August 31^st 1997. She, along with her romantic interest at the time, Dodi Fayed, were involved in a car accident that resulted in tragedy. People have speculated for years that Princess Diana was murdered. Many believe that her ex-husband, Prince Charles, was involved. Was Diana’s life cut short because of a fatal accident, or is there a more sinister plot surrounding the death of Princess Diana?

Diana was adored by the public. She had grown very popular in a very short period of time. People loved the relatable aspect of Diana. She didn’t pretend to be someone she was not, she acted as an ordinary person, which was considerably different compared to the rest of the royal family. Often times during public events Diana would out shadow her husband, Prince Charles. She stole the spotlight which didn’t seem to bother Charles, at least in the beginning. Charles soon began to feel almost unwanted in the public’s eye because Diana was receiving all of the attention. This, along with other problems, was a contributing factor in the royal couples divorce.

After the divorce, which was a devastating event in the public’s eye, Diana let the smoke blow over. She stayed out of the headlines and focused on her personal time to start over and begin a new life. Diana graced the headlines once again when she began a new romantic relationship with Dodi Fayed. Their relationship seemed to be moving at a rather fast pace, which was a concern to the royal family. There were engagement rumors surrounding the couple’s relationship. The royal family was supposedly not going to stand for the future king, Prince William’s, step father because he was a Muslim. Days before the crash, a letter said to be written by Diana, was sent to her former butler, Paul Burral, said that she had a suspicion that there was a plot to have her killed. Another strange occurrence happened on the night of December 31^st, there were reports that the driver of the vehicle, Henri Paul, was drunk behind the wheel. The French police released a statement that said Henri Paul was more than three times over the drunk drinking limit. However, only four days after that statement was released there was a press conference held and at the conference a security video was released. The footage was from the night of the crash that captured Diana, Dodi and their driver all in a hotel lobby, just moments before the crash occurred. In the footage, Henri Paul didn’t appear to be intoxicated what so ever. He seemed to be acting quite normal and this footage speculated even further questions of what really happened that night. Another disconcerting fact about the crash was that the ambulance took a reported two hours to arrive to the scene when the nearest hospital was only ten minutes away. 

There was also speculation that Diana was pregnant with Dodi’s child. Pictures had been taken that looked as if she could have been with child. A close friend of Diana’s confirmed that Diana herself had told him that she was pregnant. This information fuels the speculation that the royal family did have something to do with her death. It would give them more of a reason to get rid of Diana. The royal family would never accept a Muslim step brother for the young prince and the future king of England. Also if Diana was pregnant then it would be assumed that she and Dodi would get married. Which again was a problem that concerned the royal family.

              Diana was such a beloved women that was admired all around the world. Her death brought devastating news to all. Diana’s death was hard to accept, especially as just being an accident. Her face will be forever be linked to the conspiracy theories surrounding her death. Diana’s life story may be know my millions, however her death is know all around the world.
