Prince Harry questions official version of Princess Diana's death
BBC ^ | Jan 8 | By Laura Gozzi and Sean Coughlan, royal correspondent

Posted on 01/08/2023 1:46:28 PM PST by RandFan

Prince Harry has expressed doubt over the official account of how his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash.

"There's a lot of things that are unexplained," he said in an ITV interview about his memoir, Spare.

Prince Harry said he had been left with a "post-traumatic stress injury" after his mother's death in 1997 and had struggled to accept she had died.

He also spoke of wanting to reconnect with his family, but blamed the UK press for creating "conflict".

Harry spoke of the emotional impact of the death of his mother and in his book describes returning to the scene of the car accident in Paris.

He said: "I'd always imagined the tunnel was some treacherous passageway, inherently dangerous but it was just a short, simple, no frills tunnel. No reason anyone should ever die inside it."

He saw no point in reopening inquiries into the car accident - but questioned the official conclusions about the night of the crash.

A 2008 inquest found Diana was unlawfully killed partly due to the "gross negligence" of her driver who had been drunk and driving at excessive speed.

In the ITV interview, Prince Harry said that the tunnel posed "no danger of anybody losing control even after a drink or a couple of drinks… [It is] almost physically impossible to lose control of a vehicle unless you are completely blinded at the wheel," implying that distraction from the paparazzi may have caused the driver to crash.

"The people that were predominantly responsible for it, all got away with it," he said.

I think Harry is Charles kid. He and his brother have no resemblance to each other though.

None of the sibling groups in my family of brothers and cousins look anything alike. Even the twins of my generation -- you wouldn't even know they were related, much less twins.

Apparently Philip’s father thought the monarchy should become the House of Mountbatten.

Which monarchy? Philip's dad, who was Greek royalty, dumped his family when Philip was a small child; as a result he lived a penniless life until he married Elizabeth.

Also, Diana had Stuart & Tudor blood in her lineage, a lot of redhead genes there.

I’m sure he knows...

Nope. Look at the eyes. The male royals all have that look.

I heard that if your mother’s brothers were bald so would you be. She had five brothers that were bald and I got a full head of hair so that’s horseshit too.

Not necessarily. My father had a full head of hair when he died in his late 80's. However, my mother's four brothers were all bald in their mid-20's. As I was too.

In fact when I met my wife when I was 18, I warned her that I was probably going to be bald by the time I was 25. Turns out not to have been a problem. Said she always had the hots for Yul Brynner.
