Is it accepted that Diana was assassinated?

There was also no way to predict they’d be going through that tunnel. It wasn’t on the route from where they were to his apartment - they went a strange route because of traffic.

I think we view the Monarchy as quaint, outdated, silly... there is some serious money and therefore power involved and, stranger things have happened.

They can't just chop off your head on trumped up charges anymore, but a wise woman 1) would never expect to be made happy by being Queen and 2) would be wise enough to know to play the game for her own safety and well being, as well as her children's.

IMHO

Diana had absolutely no intention of marrying Dodi.

In the unlikely event she would have, he would have never had a stepfather-y relationship with her children. He'd be simply her husband.

But again, she did not plan to marry him.

Finally, with Dodi's drinking and drugging habits combined with the iron, live-till-96 Windsor genes, it's a virtual certainty Dodi would have been pushing up daisies by the time William was king.

HOWEVER, I believe the Queen absolutely knew Diana would die. She effectively signed off on her death when she did not order Scottland Yard to protect Diana after the divorce. Diana was childlike and naive in many ways, and when she got divorced she declined security (probably because she just wanted to be done with the royals). The queen could have ordered her protection but didn’t. Diana then went on a giant media campaign to make her Pakistani ex-boyfriend jealous by flaunting her relationship with Dodi. So I think it was a perfect storm, but the queen knew it was going to happen and had zero interest in stopping it from playing out.

Diana was childlike and naive? She was 36. Give her some agency.

Google suggests there are rumors he was going to propose. How do you know he wasn't?

np. It was clear it was a fling, they had just started dating and barely spent a handful of days together. She was flaunting him to make her ex the Pakistani surgeon jealous.

Who cares what he was going to do? She has to accept you know.

You people are crazy. It was a car accident.

A terrible accident exacerbated by multiple irresponsible decisions (on multiple people’s parts).

It was 1997. Seatbelts in the backseat were really not the norm then, hard as that may be to believe.

What? I was 17 in 1997 and seatbelts were 100% “the norm” as they were my entire life.

Glad everyone is enjoying. I saw it years ago and it’s still so funny. Just the title of the “we have questions” subcategory makes me smile before even reading anything in it.

But when we were discussing the queens death with my parents the other day I offhandedly made the remark that it’s a complicated family for many reasons, one being that they like to off the women who arent behaving. It was meant sort of as a dark joke but also I do think they killed Diana and it wasn’t an accident. My husband joined me and thinking this was very obvious and then my parents basically fell over with shock that we would believe such an outlandish thing. It’s not a topic I haven’t thought much about this in years but now gets me wondering, do most people agree that Diana’s death wasn’t an accident or is it truly one of those outlandish things that the general public accepts that she was chased by paparazzi and killed accidently?

Counterpoint . . . yes you are.

I love it when the first sentence in a paragraph states a position, and the rest of the paragraph does its level best to contradict that position.

Counterpoint PP - I think I love you.

+1. That's a ridiculous statement. I was 14 in 1997 and we wouldn't pull out of the driveway my entire life without being buckled in. We also had carseats. Not the "carseats until you're 12" thing people are doing now, but they existed. It was totally expected to buckle up when getting in the back of a car in 1997.
