Andrew JohnstonCORRESPONDENT
Mohammed Al-Fayed has alleged that M16 and Prince Philip ordered a hit, staging a crash because Diana was about to marry Dodi Al-Fayed and or announce a pregnancy.
Andrew JohnstonCORRESPONDENT
This gained steam when a former M16 officer claimed... that the theory that an agent triggered a bright flash in the Alma Tunnel temporarily blinding driver Henri Paul and causing the crash was very similar in a proposed assassination plot against Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.
Andrew JohnstonCORRESPONDENT
Theory number two, Al-Fayed alleged that Diana's driver Henri Paul was an intelligence asset and that his blood alcohol evidence had been manipulated and or planted to appear as though he was driving under the influence.
Andrew JohnstonCORRESPONDENT
Theory number three, a white Fiat Uno driven by a photographer with ties to Diana was allegedly used to intentionally interfere with the Mercedes carrying the couple.
Andrew JohnstonCORRESPONDENT
Theory number four, Diana was deliberately embalmed before proper testing could establish a pregnancy.

Bobby KootstraGUEST

Andrew LownieGUEST
There are stories that, you know, the press was some way behind the car, that they had nothing to do with the accident.
Andrew LownieGUEST
It was all down to Henri Paul being drunk, driving too fast.
Andrew LownieGUEST
So, I mean, there's still big, big questions on the death.
Andrew LownieGUEST
I'm sure they'll have lots of books coming out for the 30th anniversary next August.

In Britain, we kind of what was called scoop them up and take them to hospital as soon as we can.
Andrew LownieGUEST
In France, we kind of try and treat them on the spot.
Andrew LownieGUEST
But there are all sorts of funny stories about swapped blood samples and whether Henri Paul really was over the limit, as people said, all the strange goings on in Paris that day.
James KirkhamHOST
How much credence do you give to the conspiracy theories around it is ultimately the establishment who are responsible and not media and not members of the paparazzi?
Tim StanleyHOST
Um-
Camilla TomineyHOST
She should have been wearing a seatbelt, and by the way, paparazzi shouldn't have been chasing Henri Paul, who was drunk at speed.
Tim StanleyHOST
"And things were said, and I have reflected, and actually, Charles was really cut up about it, and Bashir fooled me as w-" If he had said all of these counterintuitive things, I might read it and think, "I've learned something from this." But I'm afraid when you add everything up, his strange voice, his use of a title that I regard as irrelevant, uh, and all these details that just confirm the almost, like, operatic-

Amy RobachHOST
Dodi Fayed was, of course, killed alongside Princess Diana in that Paris tunnel.
Amy RobachHOST

Amy RobachHOST
He really considered him not an integral part of her life.

ReniHOST
later that day diana was taken back to althorp she was buried privately on a small island in the lake on the spencer estate almost immediately after diana was buried people started asking whether the crash that killed her had really been an accident a lot of theories came from dodi's father muhammad alfayed he became convinced that diana and dodi had been murdered he said diana was pregnant with dodi's child he said that the two of them were planning to get married and he claimed that the royal family could not accept diana marrying a muslim man so prince philip and the british secret services had arranged for the crash to happen there were other things that kept the theories alive too diana had written a note months earlier before her death saying that she feared somebody was planning an accident in her car then people started asking about a white car that had made contact with the mercedes before the crash there were stories about there being a bright flash inside the tunnel there were even claims that mi6 was somehow involved so eventually All of this had to be investigated properly.
ReniHOST
The French investigation looked at the crash first.

Richard BakerHOST
So, I mean, I think there is a genuine.
Richard BakerHOST
When we did the episode with Angie, we weren't totally convinced that, particularly around Henri Paul, Dye's driver, that the blood alcohol level in him was what it, you know, what it was purported to be.
Richard BakerHOST
And that gave us room for some doubt, didn't it? In terms of the official story.
Richard BakerHOST
Yeah.
Maureen CallahanHOST
And he said the gravity of it had yet to sink in, that they thought that she probably had like a broken leg, but nothing more than that.
Maureen CallahanHOST
He writes, the brutality of the crash became clear when it was confirmed that Diana's boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and the French driver of their car, Henri Paul, who was drunk, drunk, had died instantly on impact.
Maureen CallahanHOST
They traded calls five or six times.
