The world can never tire of conspiracy theories surrounding the British royal family and its obsession with Princess Diana’s untimely death in the year 1997. Precisely 22 years later, the mystery remains and continues to haunt millions world over.
In an interesting turn of events, an anonymous source surfaced with a rather startling piece of information in an attempt to join the dots surrounding Diana’s death in the form of a note, which was reportedly penned by her and sent to her butler, Paul Burrell.
Diana, who passed away in a tragic car accident a year after her divorce to Prince Charles in 1996, allegedly wrote a letter that claims that her husband planned to instigate “a car accident which would leave her with a serious head injury.” The note was tucked away in absolute secrecy and had not seen the light of day until Burrell’s book “The Royal Duty” was out.
According to the source, Burrell mentioned that the note served as an insurance policy. Diana reportedly mentioned, in her own words, that there was a scheme to have “an accident in my car, brake failure, and serious head injury.”
This volatile piece of note was penned two months after her divorce from Prince Charles and roughly about 10 months before the actual occurrence of the event.
“This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous — my husband is planning ‘an accident’ in my car, brake failure, and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry Tiggy,” Diana wrote, as per the report.
The fateful incident took place in August 1997, where Diana succumbed to fatal injuries after her chauffeur-driven Mercedes crashed in the Pont De l’Alma underpass in Paris. It is alleged that Diana suffered from a heart attack at the time of the accident and was rushed to the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, where she breathed her last.
Diana was then traveling with her boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed, and his bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones. The car was driven by Henri Paul.
The validity of the letter, however, has been questioned in the past. In fact, it was also questioned by Burrell himself. “I could not possibly see the father of her children murdering her,” he said at the 2007 inquest into Diana’s death at London’s High Court.
“I can’t begin to believe the princess and Al Fayed were murdered. Knowing the members of the Royal Family as I do, and knowing them so well, I think that’s impossible,” Burrell added.
The inquest concluded in 2008. It was found that the unfortunate indicent leading to Diana’s death was attributable to gross negligence on the driver’s part and the paparazzi’s.
