Answer 2

This is the myth that perpetuates conspiracy theories. That the truth is worst possible thing to admit so everyone denies everything. Everyone also denies everything when there is nothing to confess.

They are under oath. The ramifications of them lying is far worse than admitting a bad truth. Any crime they committed would have been ordered by a person of rank. To protect that person by lying would make them, an employee, also a criminal. No job is worth that.

Does anyone really think that the most reliable form of assassination is a car accident?

Answer 3

This is not a question but i agree they would never admit involvement.

Answer 4

Wow - Catch 22 eh ??

I'm sick of the whole Diana "thing".

It was an accident and it's now been used for 10 years of publicity seeking and money grabbing by all those concerned.

Even worse, it has cost the british taxpayer over 3 MILLION pounds.

What a farce and what a waste of money !!

Answer 5

The Diana Incident... wow... erk... You mean the death of a young woman called Diana.  Everyone ought to speak the truth.  Always.  But this is the real world.  Fat chance of that ever happening.

Answer 6

I've stopped caring.

There was a car crash. There were deaths.  It was a long time ago.

I don't care if every rant of Mr Al Fayed was true; we're not going to find out anyway. I've long since ceased to believe that we are governed by principled, law abiding goody-two-shoes types.  I think that disillusionment happened before my twelfth birthday.  There have been a number of rather convenient deaths since then; and don't get me started on oil politics.

Answer 7

The truth is it was an accident, caused by being driven at high speed by a drunk driver.

The problem for the conspiracy theorists is, as you point out, any verdict other than "murder by MI6/Philip" will be seen as a cover up!

Ask yourself why the establishment would want her dead, and how would they murder her? There is no motive - any children she had, who were not Prince Charles's children, would not have been in the line of succession. How do you murder someone in this way? Could you really persuade the driver to crash, and therefore commit suicide? A car crash also does not guarantee death. It is easier to shoot someone, if you want to assassinate them.

The verdict will be accident, or misadventure, or unlawful killing (blamed on the driver) - the verdict will not be murder y Prince Philip, or MI6.
