Nearly three decades after the death of Princess Diana, a new report is drawing attention to thousands of pages of French investigative records that remain sealed from public view. According to Radar Online, the case file compiled by French investigators
following the 1997 Paris crash will remain closed until at least 2082 under French archive laws. The publication says the dossier contains approximately 6,000 documents gathered during an 18-month investigation
that concluded in 2007. French authorities have confirmed that the records are held in the archives of the Paris Court of Appeal and are not currently available for public inspection.
According to Radar Online, a spokesman for the court said the investigation file is placed in the archives of the Paris Court of Appeal in application of Article L.213-2 of the Heritage Code, it cannot be consulted before the expiration of a period of 75 years.
The report claims the file includes witness statements, toxicology reports, crash scene photographs and other evidence collected by French police. One unnamed source quoted by the publication argued, this secrecy stinks of a cover-up and conspiracy at the highest level
and is typical of French bureaucracy. another legal source claimed sealing the documents until long after everyone involved is gone only deepens the sense that the full truth is being pushed out of reach
the article also revisits a long-standing controversy from 2007 when lawyer Jean-Louis Pelletier said he was initially told the investigation files could not be located when I went into the court to ask to see the files
I was told they weren't there he said I know files go missing from time to time but bearing in mind the size and importance of this particular one It is extraordinary.
Former MI6 officer Richard Tomlinson claims Diana's chauffeur Henri Paul disappeared for a period before collecting Diana and Dodi Fayette from the Ritz Hotel. Tomlinson said, despite thorough police inquiries, Henri Paul's whereabouts for an hour have not been accounted for. I suspect that he was having a drink with his MI6 handler as a large sum of money was found on his body later that evening. I am convinced that there is information in MI6 files that would be useful to the inquiry into Diana's death.
The former intelligence officer also claims that MI6 possessed plans to cause fatal car crashes using a high-intensity strobe light. What later struck me about the deaths of Diana and Dodie was the claims about how they had died mimicked what was in a so-called Wi-Fi document. Henri Paul could have been blinded as he drove through the Paris underpass by a high-powered flashlight. Official investigations in both France and the UK concluded that the crash was caused
by Henri Paul's grossly negligent driving while under the influence of alcohol, combined with a pursuit by paparazzi photographers. Those investigations found no evidence that MI6, the royal family, or the British government played any role in Diana's death.
Actor Keith Allen, the father of singer Lily Allen, believed Diana was killed because of her humanitarian work to ban anti-personal landmines. Alan made the claims while discussing his 2011 documentary, Unlawful Killing, a film that explored conspiracy theories surrounding Diana's death.
Alan said, people think it's something to do with the royal family loathing Diana and her taking revenge on them by a Muslim and being apparently pregnant. It's obfuscation. In fact, what people tend to forget is that she had become a spokesperson and focal point for banning landmines.
There was so much money involved in the manufacture of landmines, I would say Diana was murdered. Radar Online also shared the tale of Diana becoming a white witch making a series of dramatic claims about rituals she is said to have practiced before her death According to Radar Online, Diana developed a fascination with psychics, mediums and spiritual healing
during the final years of her life with the publication relying heavily on claims from Simone Simmons who has long described herself as one of the princess's close spiritual advisors Simmons told the publication that she and Diana carried out ceremonies in the gardens of Kensington Palace
in which objects believed to carry negative energy were buried. Simmons claimed anyone who dug around that area would be really surprised about what they would find buried there. Diana got into burying items in the ground as part of a cleansing ritual.
We would bury items she thought had a bad or evil energy, conduct a ceremony, and Diana believed the items emerged cleansed and with a better energy. According to Simmons, one of the objects Diana buried
was a collection of gemstones that had been given to her as a gift. The report also revisits a well-documented episode involving Diana's close friend Rosa Monckton, whose daughter Natalia was stillborn in 1994.
According to accounts previously shared by Monckton, Diana offered a quiet corner of the Kensington Palace Gardens as a burial place for the baby and took part at a private memorial service.
