Mohamed Al Fayed: Former Harrods Owner Dies At 94

[Baron99]

Princess Diana left The Ritz that night on the insistence of Dodi Fayed to go to his apartment in Paris. 

 

Maybe he was in on plan to get rid of her?  Maybe he was paid off by Prince Philip?  Maybe Dodi wasn't suppose to die? 

 

There.  That's got all you conspiracy theorists looking for a new angle to ponder?

I don't know where you're getting your information from, Le Van Thanh is an eminent heart surgeon who has a hospital named after him in Vietnam(?) for his pioneering work.

Do you think there might be more than one person with that name?

Adanson's car was locked from the outside and the car keys found some distance away in the woods.

He chucked the keys away and locked the door after him in the usual way.  Which is unimportant anyway, given that he and his car were excluded from the enquiry based on documentary evidence, and testimony from his wife, demonstrating that he was no where near the site of the accident, plus the subsequent identification of the Uno in question as belonging to the eminent heart surgeon plumber and nightwatchman mentioned above.

Diana was not paranoid ...

Diana was definitely paranoid.  In addition to reports of her suspicions of friends and long-standing and previously trusted police protectors, her brother has said so, as has William.  Both suggested that playing to her obvious paranoia was a big part of the reason why Bashir was able to convince her to take part in the BBC interview.

There were 2 letters ...

Diana wrote that she was convinced that Camilla was a decoy used by Charles to hide his relationship with Legg-Bourke, and said to the solicitor that she feared that both she and Camilla would be 'assassinated' to make way for Charles to marry the aforementioned Legg-Bourke.

 

Mishcon also put the letter down to her paranoia:

 

Quote

 

Stevens [head of the investigation] explains that the investigation looked into all 104 allegations surrounding Diana’s death “including probing the origins and credibility of the Mishcon Note”.

 

He added that the Met Police followed up on the Mishcon Note and that Stevens interviewed Mishcon “on three occasions and took further statements on that letter”. “It’s something that caused me great concern,” he added.

 

“I saw Lord Mishcon about a month before he died, in about the spring of 2005, and he held course to the fact that he thought she [Diana] was paranoid, and he hadn’t held much credence to it. He was her solicitor, and remember, a solicitor has legal obligations to their clients. He was kind enough to make no mistake about it.”

The white strobe light evidence was given by an MI6 agent officer Richard Tomlinson who testified it was the chosen method for the assassination of Serbian leader Slobodan Milosovic in a road tunnel, but was never used, so the plot was grafted on to the assassination of Princess Diana. The two complicit bike riders, the first on the scene were never found.

 

Whose testimony was dismissed in the Paget Report for being unreliable, inconsistent, lacking support, embellished and motivated by animosity.

This was the first case where I bothered to read the actual court reports, released daily, which were verbatim accounts of what was said, and the first thing that sang out was how different what was actually said was from what was reported in the popular press. 

It was the first time I realised how biased the media was. But at least different papers took a different views on it.  

 

The inquest was 10 years after the event for some reason, and it was a fight to get it even then, but the fact remains that there was no way the Royal Family or the Secret service would be allowed to be implicated in such a momentous event. It would have brought the monarchy down, no question, so it was always going to be a whitewash. 

 

Subsequent discoveries about the scandalous behaviour of the rich and famous are now so common that we barely notice any more, but Diana knew secrets which she was ready to divulge, a loose cannon with a grudge. This was back then when even homosexuality was a carefully guarded secret, and a respectability was still important.

 

And Charles wanted to marry Camilla.

Then you'll be familiar with this, that I quoted in a previous thread:

3 THE JURY FOREMAN: The deceased is Diana, Princess of Wales.
24 The cause of death is chest injury, laceration within
25 the left pulmonary vein and the immediate adjacent

1 portion of the left atrium of the heart.
2 Diana, Princess of Wales, died La Pitie-Salpetriere
3 Hospital in Paris at around 4 am on 31st August 1997 as
4 a result of a motor crash which occurred in the Alma
5 Underpass in Paris on 31st August 1997 at around
6 12.22 am. The crash was caused or contributed to by
7 the speed and manner of driving of the Mercedes,
8 the speed and manner of driving of the following
9 vehicles [the paparazzi], the impairment of the judgment of the driver
10 of the Mercedes through alcohol. Nine of us are agreed
11 on those points, sir.
12 In addition, the death of the deceased was caused or
13 contributed to by the fact that the deceased was not
14 wearing a seat-belt, the fact that the Mercedes struck
15 the pillar in the Alma Tunnel, rather than colliding
16 with something else, and we are unanimously agreed on
17 that.

The bottom line is that there are far too many free-roaming variables to control to make any conspiracy theory hold water for more than the time it takes to have a bit of a think about how ridiculous is the idea of such a plot. 

 

Al-Fayed's anger and persistence were not only fuelled by grief and long-standing bitterness towards the British establishment, but by the unavoidable and unquestionable fact that Dodi and Diana made many of the decisions that led to their deaths, including the insistence that the paparazzi should be avoided so recklessly, the refusal of protection from the British and French police, the choice not to wear seat belts, and the use of an impaired driver who wasn't even qualified to drive the vehicle.

Mohamed Al Fayed, the former Harrods boss whose son Dodi was killed in a car crash alongside Diana, Princess of Wales, has died aged 94.

 

It must be very fullfilling to be a million/billionaire, all the good deads that can be done with all that money.

[Jim Hardie]

Have there ever been two more contrasting opinions of one man?

I believe he did do a lot for charity.

But he will only be remembered as the father of Dodi and the death of Diana.

I hope he's now at peace.
