No Conspiracy in Diana’s Death, Coroner Says

The inquest into Princess Diana’s death is finally coming to an end after six months of testimony, with the coroner concluding there were no conspiracy theories involving members of the royal family or the secret service in her death.

The coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, declared there was no evidence that Prince Phillip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, ordered the execution of Diana, like Mohamed Al-Fayed, the father of Diana’s lover Dodi, insisted. He also believes that Prince Charles participated in the conspiracy, so that he could marry Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Despite the coroner’s conclusion, Al-Fayed has always been convinced that the royal family is to blame for the death of the couple. He said he was deeply saddened by what the British royal family did to Diana.

"They took a young girl who was only 19 and they made her life hell," he told Reuters in 2007.

Scott Baker informed the 11-member jury that they were supposed to choose from five possible verdicts, which included the negligent driving by the driver Henri Paul, the negligent driving by the paparazzi stalking the couple, or even both. The jury can also decide on accidental death, but they are not allowed to conclude, Baker said, that Diana and Dodi were killed in a staged accident, due to lack of evidence.

The court received a last-minute e-mail from France, revealing information about a possible sample from chauffeur Henri Paul, who also died in the accident.

Apparently, the sample supports the accidental death theory, as it reveals that Paul was drunk driving when the car crashed in the Paris road tunnel.
