This tragedy was a hard one to swallow for the ones who loved their beloved Princess Diana. When the world heard about the “People’s Princess” (How Diana became known as the People's Princess), her fans refused to accept the death was an accident. “While many accepted the official verdict of events, there were others, most notably Dodi’s father Mohamed al-Fayed– the then owner of the London department store Harrods– who believed more sinister forces were at play.”(6 conspiracy theories about the death of Princess Diana debunked). It was made out as a setup, and that's when many conspiracy theories started to transpire about the death of Princess Diana. Two conspiracies raised the most eyebrows. One of the conspiracy theories is Henri Paul, the driver, was in on her death. The second conspiracy theory is that the royal family set up the car accident due to who her partner was.
      The first conspiracy theory is that Henri Paul, the driver of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed, caused the accident. The skepticism of Henri Paul not being involved raised red flags when Richard Tomlinson, who was previously an officer in M16, gave information about Henri Paul being on the M16 payroll. People started believing Henri Paul was an “informant for the security service.” (6 conspiracy theories about the death of Princess Diana debunked), known as M16. Suspicion sparked the air even more when it came to Henri Paul secretly working for M16 when they found “Suspicious funds in Henri's bank account” (6 conspiracy theories about the death of Princess Diana debunked). Then, People started believing the driver, Henri Paul, was under the influence while driving due to the “prosecutors office putting out a press release stating Paul was three times over the drink-drive limit” (Diana's driver was drunk hours before the crash). However, many people tried to make stories about Henri being sober that night, and that is what caused the crash. Still, everything kept coming back to M16, leading back to the conspiracy theory that Henri Paul was hired to generate the car crash that led to the death of Princess Diana.
    The second conspiracy theory is the royal family set up the car accident due to who her partner was. When it comes to the royal family, it's their way or the highway. Princess Diana always did what she wanted and broke many royal rules. The royal family did not like this, and it led to the divorce of Princess Diana and Prince Philip (A History of Royal Divorces). Princess Diana’s partner, Dodi Fayed, was the biggest royal upset she had ever made, and it cost her own life because Dodi Fayed was an Egyptian Muslim, and even though he came from money, that didn't matter. Dodi had bought a ring and planned to get married. The royals did not approve of Princess Diana's partner and “could not accept that an Egyptian Muslim could eventually be the stepfather of the future king of England” (Did Fayed propose to Princess Diana hours before they died). If Princess Diana dies, that means Prince Philip could get remarried. Paul Burrell, the butler of Princess Diana, says that Princess Diana wrote him a note stating, “I believe that Prince Charles was planning an accident in my car.” “This would allow him to marry”; Princess Diana gave the note to Paul 10 months before her death ( Princess Diana's letter claims Prince Charles was planning an accident in her car just ten months before fatal crash). That's how M16 got involved and put together an “operation to have Diana and Dodi killed” (6 conspiracy theories about the death of Princess Diana debunked). The royals began to involve Dodi's father, who “claimed it was one of the reasons behind the establishment plot to kill the couple” (Did Fayed propose to Princess Diana hours before they died) because of how serious their relationship was going? Princess Diana’s death could've been merely an accidental car crash, but the evidence that has been given proves the royal family could have planned the People’s Princess's death to get her out of the royal family for good.
