[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you saying Diana’s boyfriend’s chauffeur would have been driving a steel reinforced car (drunk) if Charles has been nicer to her??[/quote]

I’m saying a private citizen wouldn’t have been driving her period. HRH requires strict protection protocols from vetted drivers, private security, and limited vehicle transportation. [/quote]

I don't think what you are saying makes sense.  Diana was on a private vacation staying with her boyfriend at his properties and being cared for by his security.  That was her choice.  The fact that she could have been entitled, in theory, to strict protection if Charles had agreed would not have changed that.  Diana made choices that night that impacted her personal security.  You do know that Americans entitled to Secret Service protection don't always use that protection, right?  There are many stories of the Bush Daughters dumping their strict protection and evading their agents.  When someone doesn't want to rely on the services to which they are entitled, those services cannot be forced on them.  Even if Diana was not entitled to a steel encased car, she was certainly entitled to wear a seat belt, which even if the car was crushed would have certainly limited her injuries.  In a car crash, the first crash occurs to the car.  The second crash, if passengers are unbelted, occurs inside the vehicle when passengers fly through the air.  Diana's aorta was severed upon impact by the internal crash of the car, not the external crash.  Her decision to not wear a seatbelt almost certainly ended her life and encasing the car in steel would not have made a difference.  Comparing Prince Philip's low speed accident (not a crash, a fender bender) is apples and oranges.
