The American secret service was bugging Princess Diana's telephone conversations without the approval of the British security services on the night she died, according to the most comprehensive report on her death, to be published this week.

Among extraordinary details due to emerge in the report by former Metropolitan police commissioner Lord Stevens is the revelation that the US security service was bugging her calls in the hours before she was killed in a car crash in Paris.

Why would we be spying on Princess Diana's phone conversations?

Diana's phone or the hotel's phone she was using while she was there?

"Why would we be spying on Princess Diana's phone conversations?"

The answer probably lies in Dodi's connections, especially in those he supported financially.

Guess we'll have to wait until they release the report this week.

Then why wouldn't we have bugged Dodi's phone, and not Diana's?

This is going to further inflame Dodi Fayed's father.

I'll never forget the icy chill emanating from the Queen herself when she appeared on television following Diana's death. It chilled me to the core.

Because she was dating an Islamic dude and she was privy to British Secrets. Brits didn't want the liability so they shopped it to us.

Interesting that the article refers to the "American secret service," the "US security service," and the "surveillance arm of the US," but fails to mention any US agency by name. Also they wrote M15 for MI5, which is just lazy. Anyhoo, Diana was no longer royal, wasn't performing any official business for the UK government, and wasn't in UK territory at the time she died. Does that make her fair game for espionage? Perhaps. But I've got no idea what information she could possibly have had. Maybe we were actually spying on the Fayeds? That would be just as strange.

Sounds like Bill Clinton wanted to get into Diana's panties.

Dodi had some land holdings in Los Angeles at the time and was getting money together to start producing movies with foreign investors. I remember reading in the Hollywood Reporter a couple weeks before his death that he wanted to start his own movie studio: A cover to finance other things, perhaps?? Who knows.....

As for Diana.....maybe they were afraid of the same pillow talk that got Marilyn in trouble.... ;)
