According to Prince Harry, there’s still a lot to unfold about the death of his late mother, Princess Diana, who died a quarter of a century ago. Harry III, 38-year-old second son of King Charles and Diana, second king, who died last September. Queen Elizabeth’s grandson, fifth in line to the British throne, gave an interview to British commercial television ITV. In a 95-minute program broadcast on ITV on Sunday evening, just two days before the publication of Harry’s new book, ‘Spear’, the prince said that years after his mother’s death, he had asked him to drive the same Street . He speeds through the Paris tunnel where Diana is involved in a fatal car accident.
According to Harry, it was nearly impossible for someone to lose control of their car in the underpass, even if they were driving a drink or two ahead. But, he added, the only exception to this is if the driver is totally blinded by something.
And Harry was directly referring to how, in his belief, his mother’s death was caused by the army of paparazzi chasing the car on motorcycles. He said: It had occurred to him several times that as he was driving back to London from his country roads in England, the paparazzi literally jumped on the hood of his car and he didn’t see them.
Princess Diana -mother of Harry and his brother William, heir to the throne, who divorced from the then heir to the throne Charles, current British monarch in 1996 amid serious scandals- died in Paris in 1997, at the age of 36, when The train carrying her and her then-boyfriend, Dodi, collided with the tunnel shafts at high speed. In addition to Diana, Fayed and the French motorist Henri Paul were also killed. The only survivor was Trevor Rhys-Jones, Dodi Fayed’s bodyguard. On the night of the accident, the car was chased by dozens of photographers on motorcycles, who, according to unanimous testimony, did not provide assistance in the moments following the accident, but continued to photograph the Princess, already dying and seriously ill . injured.
In April 2008, a High Court ruling in London, which ended more than a decade of British and French investigations, classified Diana’s death as manslaughter, with the jury stopping paparazzi chasing the car of the princess and a drunk driver as responsible. . However, according to the judge’s ruling at the time, no evidence of an alleged conspiracy by the father of the princess’s friend, British-Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Fayed, emerged during the investigation.
At the time, Al-Fayed repeatedly claimed that his son and Diana were loved by the court, mainly by Prince Philip of Edinburgh, the second. Queen Elizabeth’s husband, who died in 2021, was assassinated with the help of British intelligence.
According to him, the reason for this was that the British royal family did not want a devout Muslim stepfather next to Princes William and Harry. According to Mohamed Fayed, his son and Diana wanted to get married.
In the ITV interview scheduled for Sunday evening, Harry did not mention these conspiracy theories. However, when asked if he still had questions about the incident that needed answering, or if there were elements of the case involving him that had not yet been clarified, Prince Harry replied that “there are many things about the incident that remain”. without explanation.” At the same time, he said, he was asked if he would like another exam, but at the moment he doesn’t see why.
