Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

i mean its been 9 years and in all honesty we're no nearer to discovering what happened.

wether the driver was so drunk. wether it was paparazzi or wether it was Mi5

should we just stop all this constant inquests and save tax payers money?

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

9 years ? where has the time gone , let the woman rest in peace , time to move on ,
Lets just be grateful she wasn't an unemployed single mother living on benefits in a council flat otherwise the kids would have an excuse to turn into real wastrels ............oops silly me ...she was and they are

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Unfortunately the conspirecy theorists are likely to keep the issue going as they refuse to belive that what happened was an accident. People unfortunatly die in road accidents every year world wide and because of who she was it will be raked up on a regular basiswith no confort for the families of those involved.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

The conspiracy theories will continue forever, just as they have for JFK, Marilyn Monroe etc.

Even if there was something untoward we'll never find out. She is dead, and the on going public enquiry won't change that.

For the sake of the family that loved her she should be allowed to rest in peace.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Exactly Rindy;I don't know of a single personthat is even vaguely interested in the outcome of any enquiries;pointless waste of money.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Just a tragic accident, maybe the driver was drunk or speeding, the press wanted to sell more papers and keep the story ongoing, as for MI5 pulling off what would have to be the most intricate assasination in history.. they could'nt organise the old "p**s up in the brewrey!

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

If there's one thing that bothers me about the official verdict it is that the driver may not have been drunk or even have had anything to drink and been made a scapegoat. With the amount of alcohol in his blood according the the autopsy he wouldn't have even been able to walk let alone drive a car and yet there is video footage of him walking out of the hotel looking totally in control. I feel for his family if he was innocent of any wrongdoing and yet his memory has been sullied. :(

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I agree Willow. The driver looked well in control on the video footage. I've always felt that she was murdered. How it was managed I know not, but gut instinct says that it wasn't right.

They may as well stop the inquests though. We'll never know the true story and I feel it would be best for her sons to leave it where it is.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I completely agree with you willow if this guy is innocent then his family must still to this day be going through hell , I like junetta feel that something wasnt quite right with all that and also feel she was murdered, but in my opinion if they can prove this no matter how many years it takes then they should and bring those responsible to justice , if it was any ordinary person then the investigation would go on until solved despite what effect it had on their family , and if it is remotely possible to prove that the driver wasnt responsible for diana and dodi,s death then surely it has to be done so his family can find peace.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I'm not so sure, Cherokee, I reckon that if it had been an ordinary person, as you say, they wouldn't have bothered taking it this far.

As we all know, life moves on. Her sons seem to be well adjusted, for most of the time, lol, her ex appears to be happy with his Camilla. My opinion, such as it is, is that Charles should have married her in the first place and left Diana to herself. Powers that be I expect.

Diana would never have been allowed to marry Dodi, even if she had wanted to. At least Sarah Ferguson had the right idea, skip off to America, make a fortune and remain good friends with Andrew. I wonder what would have happened if she hadn't remained level headed?

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I agree with you to a point junetta but firstly they are still solving murders that happened years ago, but back to diana she was only ever going to be a birthing machine from the start which could never have happened with camilla cus she was married but that affair was there long b4 diana came on the scene, I thought it very cruel of the royals to chose such an innocent girl to perform such tasks then after which they dropped her like a ton of hot bricks.

I believe Diana tried really hard to keep that marraige together but really didnt stand a chance ,although she did stand up to the royals she knew deep down she was always on a loser and although she tried to make a new life for herself the royals would never have approved that relationship with dodi .Her boys however have been left with no choice but to be seen a coping fairly well, and as coming to terms with losing someone close to us it never takes away the pain . I wouldnt mind hearing just what those boys really think and i dont believe for one moment if they were allowed to be honest they would think it was an accident,but that is just my opinion

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Firstly, having worked with the Police for over thirteen years, I know that funding plays a major part in old cases. That is by the by, however, Charles was 'in love' with Camilla long before she married. He was sent off on Naval duties as soon as they became friends. She had a 'hissy fit' and went on to marry thingy bob.

Secondly, everything else you have said is spot on. Diana was there to produce the next King............he looks Ok, well done her!

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

quite interesting - how many people actually think it was a natural accident and how many think murder? i didnt think there wud b that many thinkin the latter

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

The night before her death I'd been at a party at Kenneth Branagah's (yawn, name dropping again,) and a lot of the talk at the party had been about Diana. This after all was the summer where every day brought new revelations in the Greek tradgedy that was her life.

Whatever she may have done wrong in her life, I always admired her for being the first public figure in the world to touch and hug someone with AIDS, which at the time certainly wasn't the cutesy photo op with cute kids sort of thing to do. It was a time when the tabloid press was whipping up hysteria that it was a plague that could proably be spread by being in the same room as someone with the disease.

On a personal level I was responsible for getting her as a customer for the company I then worked for. Quite a coup, as Charlie boy was a customer of our nearest rival. This meant my job changed for the better and my salary doubled over night. Selfish yes, but indirectly my quality of life was made much better.

Was she murdered or was her death an accident?

Like I said earlier I don't think we'll ever know, despite the offical enquirey, but the morning after the party I was staying at a friend's house in north London, and was in the shower when someone shouted the news through the door.

My first, unthinking remark was that 'they have killed her.'

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I too watched a documentry,"The night Dianna died".The driver seemed absolutely sober,before the crash,but he was meant to be way over the limit,,Ithink there was loads of cloak and dagger stuff,,What ever happened to the white car,,,Never seen again?
and personally i dont think certain members of the royal family are above suspicion..
and also i dont know how Cammilla can sleep at night

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

come on! if your gonna kill someone you shoot em in the head.. tried and tested method that has worked for years.. so now its camilla that done it!.. the costra nostra are nowt compared to the royal family.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

NO ...i mean Cammilla was an evil cow ,that tormented Diana from the word go, she should have got out of their lives gracefully,,,,,

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Was just going to post something on these lines myself Mancie .. always thought that there was no guarantee that she would have died in that accident, and if she had remembered to put on her seat belt, it would have been a different tale, wouldn't it? So, no, I do not believe that she was murdered, just think bad driving on part of the chauffeur.

Unfortunately, speculation, investigations will go on for ever as high profile, but, yes, waste of money now I think.

I am more intrigued by the thought that she may have been pregnant, some of the last photographs of her in a swimming costume certainly showed a distended tummy, although can't believe Dodi was her cup of tea really.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I'm not a Royalist, but if they ever try to hoist that woman on us as Queen, I hope some more of you will join me in the revolution.:D

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

yep she should.. just like hewitt, will carling, dodi fayed,at the rest of the home guard.. she was just human.. and so is camilla and charles

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I'm with you Citizen Garinda. !

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

me too..................

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Grab your knitting ladies, I'll start making the guillotine.:D

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Darling Garinda, you always have me in stitches :D

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Madame K, thats good...just make sure you don't drop one though, I don't want a hole in this Christmas's cardy.:p

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Camilla lokks just like a political presnter/editor.. she is a dog! but I've just been slagged off somewhere for making statementns along the same lines! if Charles becomes King you can get as much knitting out as you like! no one gives a toss and can't do Will Carling sh*te about it

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Can't just picture you in a home knitted cardy somehow :rolleyes:

Yes, Mancie looking back on her past beaus, maybe she did fancy Dodi, but she was always very 'vulnerable' wasn't she to whatever types ? Dodi always appeared to be a lonely, sad sort of person .. to the general public anyway. If not, a little intellectually challenged.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Are you being nasty about women because you said you were recently in prison, and are bitter because you were some Daddies b*tch behind bars yourself?:eek: :D

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

She was possibley just lonely and frightened and thought people were out to get her and that was the vunerability. Its alledged she was not the full shilling when married to Chick, because of his behavior and found solice with one who felt the same.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I saw the paps goad her with my own eyes.

The things they shouted at her to get a reaction, were disgraceful.

A referee would have blushed at the downright nasty, filthy language.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Hope thats the journalists you are on about and not the 36c kind of paps? :eek:;)

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Lol, it was. I couldn't be bothered to look up how to spell paparazzi...but have now, thanks.:p

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

BUT THERES THE RUB,,, She did get her act together after Charles,and he couldent bear the fact that she was MUCH more popular than he was,,
No matter how much spin they put on Cammilla ,Istill dont like her...

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Camilla aka the least popular royal squeeze will never win the publics hearts regardless of what she does are tries. Di had the knack of knowing what made the public go soppy and was happy to oblige. There will never be another like her again in royal circles.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I liked her because she was an English aristocrat, unlike the middle class German lot we are now lumbered with.:D

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I traced her family tree back to the Percys (Hotspur) and Richard the Lionheart. She probably had more royal blood in her veins than any of the Windsors. :cool:

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

There is another documentry on I.T.V.on thursday.. This time its called "The week after Diana,s death"...and it tells what went on in Buckingham palace in that dreadful week when the country almost turned on the royal family....

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Hopefully, someone will have uploaded it and I'll be able to watch it. Sounds interesting. Thanks Grannyclaret x

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Unfortunately it was a no win situation for her. She put the boys first as any caring or worried granny would. If it had been a case of sod the public for now then quite right. Family first I say.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Whilst there is conflicting evidence, as you pointed out WillowTheWisp, we should continue to seek the truth.

Of course if there was no royal family then we wouldn’t be having this debate.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

It just shows what you read in the daily snot-rags (i.e. Sun, Mirror and the Daily Star! ) isn't always what really happened. Sometimes the official story is not the truth and it takes time to uncover what really happened - but there is always a mystery, it is part of the human condition! And don't we all just love it! Oh yeh! But do you really think the people at the top (who ever they are?) would have allowed the future Kings mother to have a half arabic child? Especially in this climate? Now think on!?!?!?

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I think most people thought parading her grandchildren before the world's press, at a church service hours after the event, where their Mother's death wasn't even mentioned in passing never mind prayer, wasn't how most grannies would have protected their grandchildren.

However she did abandon protocol, and caved in to public pressure by returning to London the day before the funeral and gave that live, clipped, cringeworthy broadcast.

Remember this is the woman who is so devoted to duty that she has never cried in public....except at the decommissioning of her royal yacht Britannia.

Very telling.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

The only thing that is telling about a post such as this is the extent to which people in this country were dumbed down (and still are) by the death of this disgraceful woman. Stick to Big Brother, Garinda - it makes much more sense.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I think the difference is that this wasn't the sad ending to an illness, they were woken and told their Mother was dead after an accident, hours later they were before the world's press.

The real truth is out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it will never be known

RIP DI

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

If wrong has been done by no matter who it is,they should be brought to justice.And while there is unanswered questions they should be investigated.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

for all we know with her reputation she may have been performing sexual acts with teh driver and it distracted him to the extent he drove the car into the wall/barrier whatever it was

hey only a thought she wouldnt be the first famous person to do it , that woman of eastenders got done twice for it ;)

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Thank you for your thought for the day.

Morals always sound so much sweeter from your unsullied lips.:D

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

well come on i couldnt be the only person who thought it ;)

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Not nice Chav especially after Willow's post.

Can anyone even begin to imagine how it is to live with the spotlight full on for all of your life? The Royal Family never asked to be in that position, it became part of their lot.

We know as much about their private life as we do about yours.......thank goodness........!!

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Err...yes, think you are on your own for this one Chav.:rolleyes:

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

she knew exactly what she was marrying into its not as though she didnt know who prince charles was

perhaps its tiem to do away witrh the royal family then they can have the peace they so desperatly want

mind you they would have to get jobs wouldnt they

if they put as much money and effort into normal peoples murders perhaps there would be a few less murderers on our streets and besidedes she wasnt murdered she died in a car accident and no matter how many investigations they have a car accident will always be the result

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Yes, poor kid, Prince Charles wants a me to be his wife!! How exciting is that for a young nineteen year old? Did any one of us know what we wanted at that age? I don't think so.

Diana was on a downward slope from day one. I still reckon she was killed. Like Rindy, the first thing I said on hearing the news was 'they've killed her'. I do agree with you on one point, Chav, it will always be a car accident, nothing will ever be proved otherwise.

As for the rest of the Royal Family, I'm proud of them. They work hard, bring tourism to England and make some folk happy by just being there.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

unfortunatly i still live in england and have to pay for their up keep :rolleyes:

the palace and castles would bring in tourists , they spend most of the year out of teh country so its not as though tourists are only coming to see them as they arnt there to be seen

work hard..

thay have made up ranks in the navy/army and have probably never done a hard days graft in their lives

sory juenetta but all i see them as is a bunch of hand shaking , hand waving , scroungers living off hard working peoples backs .If anything with all their antics,scandal and looney behaviour they are an embarresment to this country not an asset

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I might not live in England now but I still pay tax and have done for most of my life.

Gosh, Chav, you almost got me cross then, lol. Time to agree to differ I reckon. Have a good day x

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

lol good night here x :D

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I agree junetta,there is just the odd royal that is a freeloader,but i think the monarchy is what is special about the u,k..remember the saying "YOU NEVER MISS THE WATER TILL THE WELL RUNS DRY" Pomp and Ceremony ,Thats what we do best ..Long may it continue...

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Princess MIchael of Kent and Prince Eddie spring to mind. :D Yes they bring the tourists in (especially from over the pond and Japan) who spend a lot of dosh. The pomp and ceremoney may be grand and colourful but does the income frome these balance with the outgoings? Not anti royal per say just that it needs slimed down and should in some ways go Scandanavian in the way the royal house rns its self.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Not sure if I would either but still think that the Royals need to trim down. All I am thinking is that it should be Liz Phil Chick Billy Boy and Hooray Harry. The rest can get a job like the rest of us to pay their way.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

All they need is a figurehead in much the same way Di was. They may be hoping that Billy Boys squeeze Kate Middleton will fill that role then that way the Di thing will fade away quietly but without her being forgotten.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

The public liked her because she was more accessible and tried to show more if you like empathy with them than the Queen can in her role. A comparable Joe Public would be a companies best sales person.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

The 'they bring in tourist dollars' never really washes with me.

Have you ever been amongst the crowds of tourists jostling to get through the gates at Versailles?

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I'm not the greatest fan of the Monarchy, & do feel that it need trimming down. However, i'd never want to lose them altogether. I think if we lose the Monarchy, we lose part of our identity as a nation, then it would be Britain instead of Great Britain next. Or just an island that is part of the United State of Europe.

God Save the queen. What else would the football hooligans sing? lol

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

lets face it in all honesty we havnt been great for a long time , although with that idiot blair saying hes going to stand down in may we may have a chance but then again hes not known for been a man who can keep his word is he :rolleyes:

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

If some people had their way we wouldn't be Britain at all. Here in Lancashire we'd be part of a region called "Atlantic" and down south there'd be "Trans Manche" linked to parts of the continent and over to the east they'd be lumped with bits of Scandinavia! :mad:

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
 

I saw that particular idea from our friends in Europe.


Sticking Yorkshire onto the Low Countries and Scandinavia sounded a good to me.:D

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
