Why all the Princess Diana conspiracy theories?
Here’s what we know: On August 31, 1997, a car crashed in the Alma tunnel in Paris. The driver was speeding and had high levels of alcohol in his system. Princess Diana was proclaimed dead less than four hours later. Her partner and the driver didn’t survive either. Then, Princess Diana’s funeral was held on September 6, 1997. It sounds like Princess Diana’s death was a result of a cut and dry drunk driving accident, but some people—notably the father of Diana’s boyfriend, who also died in the crash—have questioned whether it really was an “accident.” Enough conspiracy theories started circulating that London’s Metropolitan Police did a full investigation into the claims and published their findings in Operation Paget. This is the truth behind the rumors and Princess Diana conspiracy theories.
