Mystery of Princess Diana

Some said it was a plot to kill, some said it was just an accident but the real cause could not be known. Till today no one knows what exactly happened that night. Although all the investigation is completed but those were just the analysis made from remains after. To put things into perspective; let's take a look what actually took place at that fateful night.

The wedding of Diana Spencer to Charles, Prince of Wales, on July 29, 1981, in St Paul’s Cathedral turned out to be marriage made in hell. Diana never could enjoy the married life. She got formally separated from Prince Charles in December 1992 and took divorce in August 1996. She was mentally disturbed, she needed someone to love and respect her and that’s when her friend Dodi came into her life.

Diana with Dodi
Diana and her sons William and Harry went to enjoy their off time with the family of the proprietor of the Ritz Hotel, Paris, Mohammed Al Fayed, at St Tropez. Dodi, the son of Al Fayed soon felt in love with Diana. Dodi Educated both in Switzerland and at Sandhurst Military Academy. They found interest in eachother. Diana's married life was disturbed on August 21, 1997 when the couple embarked on a ten-day holiday on Mohammed Al Fayed’s yacht the Jonikal, in the Mediterranean. Much of the publicity was given to it as some photographers took photos and published them in media.

Diana: Predicted Her Own Death
Princess Diana sensed the threat to her life quite early, it was due to this she predicted her own death in a car crash just 10 months before she died. She also wrote a letter that a certain person was planning an accident in her car, may be by causing brake failure.

Diana’s Last night :< /b>
For that night the life of Diana and Dodi Fayed was in the hands of driver Henri Paul.
Around11 A.M Henri went to Pelican bar after playing tennis. There he drank Coca-Cola. At 12:30 Paul he left to receive Diana and Dodi at Le Bourget airport, where their private jet was to land from Sardinia at 3:15 p.m. While on the way towards the private airstrip, he found something else that had become usual, photographers following him. At this moment Paul followed the black Range Rover that had luggage. He was behind a Mercedes 600 driven by Dodi's regular driver Philippe Dourneau. Press reporters for much of the way followed the two-car but apparently they managed to slip past them at some point. They delivered the baggage to Dodi's apartment near the Arc de Triomphe. Dourneau, with Diana and Dodi in the rear, continued on, arriving around 3:45 at the Villa Windsor, the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

Around 4 o'clock, the Mercedes, bearing Diana and Dodi, went Ritz, followed by Paul in the Range Rover. In the evening at seven Dourneau drove the couple from the Ritz to Dodi's apartment. Paul then went to bar where according to one bartender he had "two or three whiskeys," ate nothing. According to French police it was Dodi's bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones who decided to switch drivers: to have Dourneau to take the wheel of the Range Rover to decoy the paparazzi and have Paul drive Dodi and Diana.

After Henry along with the couple headed towards their destination along the rue Cambon, they found some press reporters following them. Henry then tried to speed up to get rid of the reporters. He entered the tunnel on the left of two lanes and speeding at sixty to perhaps eighty miles an hour, and then he found his car was behind a slower vehicle. Paul turned the Mercedes to the right, to pass the car ahead of him in the left lane. Soon the driver lost the control over car and the right rear of the Mercedes swerved and hit the right wall of the tunnel with a loud crash. Trying to get the control back, Paul turned sharply left and within seconds the Mercedes crashed into one of the concrete dividing pillars that separated the lanes from oncoming traffic and also supported the roof. The Mercedes soon turned into mound of steel: the front end projected into the engine, was forced almost through the driver's seat. Henri Paul and Dodi al-Fayed were dead, and their bodies were horribly muddled. Trevor Reed-Jones, the bodyguard was seriously injured, and Princess Diana was near death. They were carried to Hospital where Diana took her last breath.

Medical Report of Henri Paul :
Autopsy report of Paul showed that his blood had between 1.75 and 1.87 grams of alcohol per liter of blood, which is nearly four times the legal blood-alcohol limit of 0.5. Paul's blood also contained "therapeutic" amounts of Fluoexetine, which is highly toxic for the body.

Role of FIAT UNO :
From the remains after the accident, investigators believe the Mercedes driven by Henri Paul grazed a Fiat just before crashing at high speed into the concrete pillar of the Paris road tunnel. Some people present at the site say that a white car came zigzagging out of the tunnel at the time of the late-night crash, and bits of paint and shards of glass found at the accident scene have been identified as probably coming from a Fiat Uno. So the possibility that one of the photographers was involved in chasing the Mercedes and possibly causing it to crash is still unsolved.

Diana’s parents however do not believe in these theories. Her mother Frances Shand Kydd agreed that the searching of the French inquiry was correct.Her brother Earl Spencer also agreed on the report. Until the end of life, Diana was involved with charities working to help children, homeless people and AIDS sufferers, as well as with the campaign to ban land mines. She could rightly described as "Born a lady, became a princess, died a saint".
