Subject: Is it accepted that Diana was assassinated?
Student of English history here. On the one hand, there's no proof it was an execution. OTOH, Queens who piss off the royal family often meet a bad end. It's a neat coincidence that Diana died in an accident before marrying her Muslim lover. Imagine the King of England with a Muslim step father.
I think we view the Monarchy as quaint, outdated, silly...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.

The survivor was wearing a seat belt.

Diana declined the palace security. It was her choice.
She did not want the palace to know what she was doing.

Probably the most investigated accident in the world and still couldn’t find the car they think hit Diana’s car?

She was not wearing a seat belt and she was driven at very high speeds by an alcoholic/drunk.

Strange!
And yet they waited until 1998? Bad luck!
Her car rolled over 7 times in 1997. First time didn’t work, made sure second time did!

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.
And you are…nobody. Lol

Those dumb dumbs really have a problem with brown babies don’t they
They wouldn't have been royal so why would "they" care anyway? Diana was a floozy at that point in her life making bad decisions. Like not wearing a seatbelt in speeding cars.
…trying to think of the last time I heard the word floozy.
There are a limited number of words that would convey the point and not be too offensive. My bet is if Diana was still alive she'd be on her 4th or 5th marriage by now and lost the respect of a lot of people. She died at a time just as things were going south but people remembered her at her best. But she was on a very self destructive path at the time.
I'm reminded of the You're Wrong About episode in which they mention how upset Tina Brown seems to be that Diana liked sex. She's been dead for 25 years -- do you really think she would have gotten married and divorced every five years?
I can see how she might have gotten married again, and she seemed both charming and needy, so I can see how a marriage wouldn't last, but even emotional wrecks should get to have sex without judgment if they want to
Obviously we'll never know. You don't have to be married to have sex, but Diana seems more of the marrying type. She also desperately wanted to land a rich husband to provide for her and pay for the security Charles would not pay for, amongst other things. So she would be constantly on the hunt for a new one if the last one didn't work out.

While it's possible someone could have deliberately hit them, the reality is those two factors are what caused their deaths: they would have lived if they had buckled up!
Blood tests could have been faked.
