What I want to know is: how can anything scurrilous - even if it is found on the part of assassins/MI6, etc - ever be exposed without very seriously incriminating the Royal family? It seems to me to be unthinkable that any inquest - no matter how formal - could ever dare to point an accusing finger at, say, Prince Philip or the staff of the royal family. That would lead to a REAL, MASSIVE insurrection against the monarchy. So who can be satisfied by this procedure, other than the public wanting closure? We in SA have followed the 10-year debate about conspiracy with some scepticism: key figures like Trevor Rees-Jones have been shunted aside. Mohamed el-Fayed is hardly a credible individual, given his rants and paranoia. So what authority can finally - if ever - put the lid on this tragedy? Finally, one thought: if anyone in the royal family (or its advisers) seriously wanted Diana out the way, would it have been necessary to actually kill her? She was not exactly Mata Hari: all it would have taken would have been kind words, flattery and the promise of her title - from a distance. Surely no-one could have seriously thought her capable of representing a true threat to the crown!!! And if she had indeed gone on to marry Dodi Al-Fayed, what could she conceivably had done to her former in-laws, besides become an "unmentionable" subject? It seems to me to be the height of paranoia to imagine that Diana warranted an elaborate assassination. She was a simple, loving soul, filled with insecurities and self-doubt, and- let's face it - no great intellect. She would have wanted nothing but access to her sons at reasonable times, enough money to live well - and very little else.

A website claims that my comments "worth following"??? You have "analyzed" my words? I dont know if I must be scared or flattered. Well... why not? It can be fun afterall. Do you have a name and a number? We could talk with telephone, it would be more "normal" :-) Can you give the details to the devoted intermediary please? :-) Oh.

Did she attempt to get some sort of cash settlement from Mohammed al Fayed?" I don't know whether she took any action, Gigi. i imagine not, as he died so suddenly afterward. Terribly sad for her - a double tragedy - but she barely gets a mention. “Kit, did you ever hear if there was any legal proceeding initiated by this young lady after Dodi’s death?
