Speculations that Princess Diana's death may be more than an accident have gained further momentum, after recent discoveries revealed that her chauffeur reportedly received mystery payments amounting to 142,000 dollars, just weeks before she died in the car he was driving.
Chauffeur Henri Paul died along with Diana and her lover Dodi Al Fayed when the Mercedes he was driving crashed in an underpass in Paris, France in August 1997.
British detectives investigating the tragedy have fuelled speculation that Paul was being paid by British secret service agents, by revealing the staggering sums he received from British banks just before the fatal accident.
Financial investigators have also revealed Paul had staggering amounts of money in 13 bank accounts around the world, despite earning just 38,000 pounds, a year as a driver for Paris' Ritz hotel.
"Money was drafted over to Paul from accounts in England. As far as the investigation is concerned, this is a crucial breakthrough,"a source close to the inquiry was quoted by Femalefirst, as saying.
"We have always wanted to get to the bottom of who was paying Henri Paul all this cash and now we're getting closem," they added.

Well, look at the folks
who never let the story
die right here are home:
"On June 4, the London Daily Telegraph, the flagship publication of the British monarchy and the Club of the Isles' Hollinger Corp., published a crass slander against Lyndon LaRouche, headlined "U.S. Cult Is Source of Theories." The article charged that LaRouche, EIR, and the New Federalist newspaper were all behind a "Diana conspiracy industry," and that LaRouche, in league with London-based billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed, was "accusing the Queen of ordering the assassination of Diana, Princess of Wales."
June 19, 1998 issue of Executive Intelligence Review.
Who the hell CARES? She's dead - end of story.
She's probably boogyin' with Elvis and James Dean. They aren't really dead either. Oh, and maybe JFK!
Interesting how these conspiracy theories have a recurring pattern to them, i.e. they re-surface at regular intervals. I'd bet you could apply mathematics and physics to the timing, kinda like Moore's Law.
wanna solve a mystery...find out who the 'aw jeeze' guy is
and where he is today
Don't know but I bet he wishes he got royalties....
True, but had this relationship had the chance to take off, it would have been yet another "embarrassing" stunt for the self absorbed Windsors to have to deal with. Remember, Fergie and the toe sucking, all of the secret phones calls etc? That said, I do believe it was an accident.
I don't think the royals would have cared that much if Diana had married a Muslim or an Arab. It might have served to put more distance between her and the Firm if she had. Given her popularity, some of them probably wanted very much for her to make a move that would lower her stock with the public, and marrying the feckless playboy and deadbeat Dodi and taking on the corrupt loudmouth Mohammed al-Fayed as a father-in-law would have done the trick. With respect to William and Harry, Diana probably would have ended up in a similar position to that of her own mother who was estranged from Diana when she was royal; a bothersome, sometimes embarrassing relation.
Diana was beautiful and got away with many of her manipulations, but she had little common sense or true wisdom, and likely would have managed to step in it in a big way had she lived. She was already heading down the road to a major public embarrassment in the summer of 1997.
Boy did we have the right idea in 1776.
"Any offspring of Fayed and Diana would not be royalty or stand in line to the throne.
William and Harry are royal because of who their father is, not because of who their mother was."
Tell that to the house of Toudor.
Who cares? She was so insignificant.
BAHAHAHAHAAA! I wonder how many other Freepers will get that one. Good ol' Uwein ap Maredudd ap Tudur...he would have been proud to see how far his descendants made it.
The House of Tudor succeeded to the throne because the two Plantagenet heirs were murdered by their uncle and Henry Tudor was the only surviving adult male who could claim title to both the Lancastrian and Yorkist lines through blood and marriage.
Even if William and Harry's uncle suceeded in murdering them, the House of Windsor is not divided into two armed factions, and there would still be about 8 or 9 thousand Britons in line for the throne ahead of any son of Fayed by Diana.
Is the dental care package a new perk? ;^)
Paul was a suicide bummer?
Yep
I would put them just ahead of the Times of Los Angeles and the Times of New York.
That would make them #9,879 in the world's top 9,876 most reliable papers.
;)
Who cares?
Ah yes; Mary, Queen of Scots :-D
Both Mary and Queen Elizabeth I, were up to their necks in blood.
