Princess Diana Death: UK’s Scotland Yard Assessing New Information

Source: The Epoch Times

Scotland Yard said Saturday that it is looking into new information regarding the deaths of Princess Diana and companion Dodi Al Fayed in 1997. Reports on Saturday said police are trying to see if it is credible or not.

Sky News reported that the information pertains to allegations as to whether Diana and others in the car were murdered. But it noted that the investigation is still in the very early stages.

“The Metropolitan Police Service is scoping information that has recently been received in relation to the deaths and assessing its relevance and credibility,” reads a statement from Metropolitan Police, published by ITV. “The assessment will be carried out by officers from the Specialist Crime and Operations Command.”

It added: “This is not a re-investigation and does not come under Operation Paget.”

with contributory negligence not wearing seat belts.

Rear air bags in S Class Mercs only deploy when seat belts are engaged. The airbags would've saved both of them.

6. I agree completely

At the time of her death, Diana was still quite popular. She had managed to win over the public not only by her warmth and humanity, but by exposing the duplicity and deviousness of the royal family - so much so that many were calling for an end to the monarchy. With her very public antics, affairs and revealing interviews, she was becoming an embarrassment to them. I fully believe they felt she had to be stopped. I have always thought that the timing of her death was so very, very convenient for the royal family. Furthermore, the idea that British intelligence and the full force of international police agencies could not find the white Fiat that left the mark on Diana's car is mind boggling. Any minor sleuth knows that a chip of paint can be tracked back to the plant that manufactured the car, and the dealerships to which it was sold and therefore, a list of owners that purchased cars that had that distinctive paint.

Several years ago, I saw a news program in which Princes William and Harry were interviewed. When asked if they had questions or doubts regarding the manner in which their mother died, William said no, that he was satisfied. Harry, however, said that he was unsure and still had questions...as do I.

9. Yes to all this, and also, the aristocracy needs the monarchy, and so

just putting two and two together, if it had been a plot, then it could have happened without overt approval of any member of the royals. Some may say that's mere a conspiracy theory - and perhaps so, but truth is stranger than fiction, as we find out all the time.

I actually think, in hindsight, Diana did change the monarchy irreparably, in a good way. I know that for most of those whose family members are taken from them prematurely, while time does move on, that heartache and pain are always there. I like William and Harry, and Kate, too. Not so much Fergie's branch, though.

5. If you've ever seen the way Parisians (and others) drive going into that tunnel, it's no wonder...

I've seen irresponsible driving but those drivers are crazy...they drive so fast they practically fly onto the ramp...it is startling and makes you fear crossing the street in front of it...

7. I've always wondered if the seat belts in the back seat

actually worked. No one has ever addressed that, to my knowledge.

Of course, the poor design of that tunnel, and the stupidity of the French ambulance service played a part in her death. Who the fuck takes two hours to get to a hospital with a critically injured patient? That ambulance was NOT fully equipped, because she needed immediate surgery to repair the aortic tear.

It has been 16 years after the announcement that Princess Diana had passed away in a terrible car accident. Following all these years, her death will be reviewed again, as there are claims that a British Soldier may have actually murdered her.

Police have received new information, deemed reliable, that Diana was actually murdered and not in killed in motor car accident.

Authorities say that this new information will be carefully evaluated and thoroughly investigated.

According to reports, the Metropolitan Police received this new information from the Royal Military. Additional information has surfaced from former parents-in-law.

12. But why would the elite want to kill her?

I don't get the why. The Royal Family may have perceived her as a pain in the butt but that hardly seems like a reason to kill her. Even if they did think it was a good reason, I don't see how the Royal Family has enough control/pull with the SAS to pull it off.

The only ones who could have got the SAS to pull it off would have been insiders in the actual government --- that's not the Royal Family.
