| the murder of princess diana 2007: How They Murdered Princess Diana John Morgan, 2015 This explosive book blows the lid on one of the most shocking crimes of our modern era. But it does more than that. How They Murdered Princess Diana is the most complete evidence-based account of the assassination of Princess Diana yet written. It delivers on providing answers to many of the key questions surrounding the 1997 Paris crash that took the lives of Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed - Who did it? Why was Diana assassinated? How was it carried out? It also exposes the massive inter-governmental cover-up that has taken place throughout the 17 years since the deaths.This book takes the reader through the entire story - right from the breakdown of the Diana-Charles marriage through to the 2013 sham police scoping of allegations of SAS involvement made by Soldier N.It covers the critical events that took place in Paris on the last day of Diana and Dodi's lives. It reveals that the crash in the tunnel was orchestrated by MI6 on the orders of senior British royals. Princess Diana survived the crash but was effectively murdered by deliberate mistreatment in the ambulance by people who were supposed to be saving her.The individuals involved in the murders are exposed - it is revealed that Sherard Cowper-Coles, former UK ambassador to Saudi Arabia, headed the MI6 operation on the ground in Paris. The roles of other operatives in this highly coordinated assassination are addressed in detail.This is the first book to cover the complete story in such chilling detail - a true account using the witnesses own words that at times will leave the reader shocked, aghast and breathless.How They Murdered Princess Diana shows that the 2007-8 London inquest into the deaths - headed by Lord Justice Scott Baker - was one of the most inept and corrupt inquests in the history of the British judicial system. It also exposes the 2004-6 Scotland Yard Paget investigation as a huge farce that was more dedicated to covering up the facts of what occurred than to uncovering truth.The perpetrators never thought anyone would or could ever do a full investigation piecing it all together - but this is exactly what John Morgan has done. As a result of nine years of investigative research he has produced the definitive work on the Paris assassination - the uncensored record of what occurred, how it was done and who did it.Eminent QC Michael Mansfield - who served throughout the six months of the London inquest - has said: I have no doubt that the volumes written by John Morgan will come to be regarded as the 'Magnum Opus' on the crash.How They Murdered Princess Diana is the long-awaited abridgement of the six volumes of the highly-acclaimed Diana Inquest series. It documents the shocking truth - the shameful account of the state-sponsored assassination of Britain and the world's most loved princess, Diana Princess of Wales. |
| the murder of princess diana 2007: Princess Diana the Lamb to the Slaughter Joy Daymon, 2002-08-22 Born to privilege, living on the edge of the royal circle, Lady Diana Spencer assumed-like everyone else-that little adjustment would be needed to adapt to her new role, the Princess of Wales and future Queen of England. What everyone, including Diana, failed to factor in was that Charles, at age thirty-three, was not only a confirmed bachelor, surrounded from infancy with people to anticipate and provide his every need, he was also in a long-term, committed relationship. However, it was his duty to marry and provide an heir to the throne of England. Meanwhile, Diana, almost a generation younger, envisioned (as Edward VIII had) what a modern monarchy could be; how it could be relevant in today's complex society-a monarchy she was determined to have for her son. That these two forces-the status quo and the Modern England-should clash was inevitable, but no one was prepared for the cataclysmic climax in the story of the Queen England never had-Diana, Princess of Wales, the Lamb to the Slaughter. |
| the murder of princess diana 2007: The Princess Diana Conspiracy Alan Power, 2014-02-02 15 years after the deaths of Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales, Dodi Al Fayed and Henri Paul, Alan Power reveals what really happened on that fateful night in Paris. |
| the murder of princess diana 2007: Diana Inquest John Morgan, 2010-07 Diana Inquest: The Documents the Jury Never Saw exposes a massive suppression of evidence at the 2008 London inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. This book - edited by investigative writer John Morgan - publishes for the first time over 100 documents that were withheld from the inquest jury by Lord Justice Scott Baker. It then goes on to list a further 400 items of vital evidence that Baker concealed from his own jury. The withheld documentation is so critical to the case that it calls into question whether the jury were actually in a position to achieve an informed verdict. Included in the 700 page book are the original official police statements of French experts Professor Dominique Lecomte and Dr Gilbert Pepin. Lecomte was the pathologist who conducted the controversial autopsy of Mercedes driver Henri Paul and Pepin was the toxicologist who carried out the testing on the autopsy samples. Both of these crucial witnesses refused to appear at the London inquest. Judge Baker had those statements but failed to have them read out or shown to the jury. Those police statements, along with many other crucial documents, are made public for the first time in this volume. The Documents the Jury Never Saw reveals a judicial censorship of key evidence that was so substantial that it indicates Scott Baker's inquest was more significant for the documents that weren't shown, than for those that the jury actually saw. John Morgan, who has authored a series of books on the Princess Diana inquest, has stated that the London inquest was not run by an independent judge. The documents in this book are so central to the case, yet royal coroner Scott Baker prevented his jury from seeing them. It could be argued that there was no intention to allow that jury to get to the bottom of what happened in the Alma Tunnel on 31 August 1997. When this current book is read in the context of Morgan's Diana Inquest series, it enables the reader to understand the significance and reliability of the testimony of certain witnesses. |

| the murder of princess diana 2007: Who Murdered Diana? Stephen Ubaney, To write this book more than 3,900 hours of investigation went into examining new evidence to answer the following five questions: Who hated the Princess? Who wanted her dead? Why did they want her dead? Who cooperated in the coverup? and who profited from the murder? To answer those questions the book also solves these riddles (and many others). -Why did the American Secret Service have 1100 pages of transcription of Diana's phone conversations? -Why did it take Diana's ambulance almost 2 hours to get her to a hospital 4 miles away? -Why did the French police gather eyewitness testimony to the crash and then discard it? -Why did they clean up the crash site so quickly after Diana was pronounced dead? -Why was Mercedes Benz blocked (by both governments) from inspecting the car for defects? -Why did the Mercedes kill its passengers at speeds lower than its crash test rating? -Why has no one investigated the concrete pillar to officially determine the angle of impact? -Who gave the order to break British law and wait from 1997 until 2007 to do an inquest? -Why were all of the traffic cameras in and around the tunnel turned off the night of the crash? If that wasn't enough to garner your interest in this book, ask yourself a simple, logical question. Have you ever been threatened for witnessing a car accident? To date, at least seven witnesses have either been assaulted or had had their lives threatened for witnessing Diana's fatal crash. Forget everything you have ever heard about Diana's death and prepare to be fascinated. This book will not disappoint you. |

| the murder of princess diana 2007: Darkness Descending - The Murder of Meredith Kercher Paul Russell, Graham Johnson, Luciano Garofano, 2010-02-18 It was a brutal murder, and the trial of the decade. On 1 November 2007, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was slaughtered in cold blood in the apartment in Perugia, Italy, that she shared with three other girls. Two bright young people, Amanda Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, stood accused of the killing in a trial that lasted through 2009. They were found guilty and sentenced to twenty-six and twenty-five years respectively on 4 December. A second man, Ivory Coast-born Rudy Guede, 22, had already been found guilty of the sexual assault and murder of Meredith in a separate trial in 2008 and sentenced to thirty years, but the prosecution always stated that he didn't act alone. Kercher was a model student whilst American Knox acquired a reputation that fuelled specualtion about her character. Her bizarre behaviour just after Meredith's body was found, her false accusation of an innocent man, her weak alibi and her DNA on the murder weapon - a kitchen knife found to be scubbed with bleach - went against her. TV producer Paul Russell and critically acclaimed crime writer Graham Johnson have teamed up with leading Italian forensics expert General Luciano Garofano to reveal the full truth behind this sensational murder and its trial. They unravel all the details and study all the personalities in this case that has stunned the world. Complex, and some say controversial, DNA evidence is explained in simple language and, bit by bit, a story emerges of brutality and jealousy in a university town where all was not what it seemed. Their findings make for gripping, sensational reading. |

| the murder of princess diana 2007: The Death of Expertise Tom Nichols, 2017-02-01 Technology and increasing levels of education have exposed people to more information than ever before. These societal gains, however, have also helped fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that has crippled informed debates on any number of issues. Today, everyone knows everything: with only a quick trip through WebMD or Wikipedia, average citizens believe themselves to be on an equal intellectual footing with doctors and diplomats. All voices, even the most ridiculous, demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism. Tom Nichols' The Death of Expertise shows how this rejection of experts has occurred: the openness of the internet, the emergence of a customer satisfaction model in higher education, and the transformation of the news industry into a 24-hour entertainment machine, among other reasons. Paradoxically, the increasingly democratic dissemination of information, rather than producing an educated public, has instead created an army of ill-informed and angry citizens who denounce intellectual achievement. When ordinary citizens believe that no one knows more than anyone else, democratic institutions themselves are in danger of falling either to populism or to technocracy or, in the worst case, a combination of both. An update to the 2017breakout hit, the paperback edition of The Death of Expertise provides a new foreword to cover the alarming exacerbation of these trends in the aftermath of Donald Trump's election. Judging from events on the ground since it first published, The Death of Expertise issues a warning about the stability and survival of modern democracy in the Information Age that is even more important today. |

| the murder of princess diana 2007: Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Murder of Lord Darnley Alison Weir, 2007-12-18 A brilliant investigation of one of Britain’s notorious unsolved mysteries: the murder of Lord Darnley, second husband of Mary, Queen of Scots—from the New York Times bestselling author hailed as “the finest historian of English monarchical succession writing” (The Boston Globe) “All the elements of a juicy murder mystery are within these pages.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram “As dramatic as witnessing firsthand the most riveting court case.”—Booklist, starred review Tall, handsome, accomplished, and charming, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, had it all, including a strong claim to the English throne, a fact that threatened the already insecure Elizabeth I. She therefore opposed any plan for Darnley to marry her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, who herself claimed to be Queen of England. But in 1565 Mary met and fell in love with Darnley—and defied Elizabeth by marrying him. It was not long before she discovered that her new husband was weak and vicious, and interested only in securing sovereign power for himself. Then, on February 10, 1567, an explosion at his lodgings left Darnley dead; the intrigue thickened after it was discovered that he had apparently been suffocated before the blast. The murder of Darnley ultimately led to Mary’s ruin. After her deposition, there conveniently came to light a box of documents—the notorious Casket Letters—that her enemies claimed were proof of her guilt. But Mary was never allowed to see them, and they disappeared in 1584. The question of their authenticity has haunted historians ever since. After exhaustive reexamination and reevaluation of the source material, Alison Weir has come up with a solution to this enduring mystery that shatters many of the misconceptions about Mary, Queen of Scots. Complete with bright writing and stunning characterizations, Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Murder of Lord Darnley is an engaging excursion into Britain’s bloodstained, power-obsessed past. |

| the murder of princess diana 2007: Voodoo Histories David Aaronovitch, 2010-02-04 Meticulous in its research, forensic in its reasoning, robust in its argument, and often hilarious in its debunking... a highly entertaining rumble with the century's major conspiracy theorists and their theories. --John Lahr, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Tennessee Williams From an award-winning journalist, a history so funny, so true, so scary, it's bound to be called a conspiracy. Our age is obsessed by the idea of conspiracy. We see it everywhere- from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, from the assassination of Kennedy to the death of Diana. In this age of terrorism we live in, the role of conspiracy is a serious one, one that can fuel radical or fringe elements to violence. For David Aaronovitch, there came a time when he started to see a pattern among these inflammatory theories. these theories used similarly murky methods with which to insinuate their claims: they linked themselves to the supposed conspiracies of the past (it happened then so it can happen now); they carefully manipulated their evidence to hide its holes; they relied on the authority of dubious academic sources. Most important, they elevated their believers to membership of an elite- a group of people able to see beyond lies to a higher reality. But why believe something that entails stretching the bounds of probability so far? In this entertaining and enlightening book, he examines why people believe conspiracy theories, and makes an argument for a true skepticism: one based on a thorough knowledge of history and a strong dose of common sense. |
| the murder of princess diana 2007: Royal Fever Cele C. Otnes, Pauline Maclaran, 2015-10-19 No monarchy has proved more captivating than that of the British Royal Family. Across the globe, an estimated 2.4 billion people watched the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton on television. In contemporary global consumer culture, why is the British monarchy still so compelling? Rooted in fieldwork conducted from 2005 to 2014, this book explores how and why consumers around the world leverage a wide range of products, services, and experiences to satisfy their fascination with the British Royal Family brand. It demonstrates the monarchy’s power as a brand whose narrative has existed for more than a thousand years, one that shapes consumer behavior and that retains its economic and cultural significance in the twenty-first century. The authors explore the myriad ways consumer culture and the Royal Family intersect across collectors, commemorative objects, fashion, historic sites, media products, Royal brands, and tourist experiences.Taking a case study approach, the book examines both producer and consumer perspectives. Specific chapters illustrate how those responsible for orchestrating experiences related to the British monarchy engage the public by creating compelling consumer experiences. Others reveal how and why people devote their time, effort, and money to Royal consumption—from a woman who boasts a collection of over 10,000 pieces of British Royal Family trinkets to a retired American stockbroker who spends three months each year in England hunting for rare and expensive memorabilia. Royal Fever highlights the important role the Royal Family continues to play in many people’s lives and its ongoing contribution as a pillar of iconic British culture. |

| the murder of princess diana 2007: Diana Inquest John Morgan, 2013-05-21 This explosive book exposes high-level corruption in London's Metropolitan Police Service following the August 1997 death of Princess Diana in Paris. Over the ensuing decade Scotland Yard carried out one of the biggest and most wide-reaching cover-ups in its history. Police Commissioners Paul Condon and John Stevens should have conducted a thorough investigation. Instead, they sought to prevent the truth of the Alma Tunnel car crash - the assassination of Princess Diana - from being revealed to the British public. Just 18 days after the crash Princess Diana's lawyer, Victor Mishcon, presented to Paul Condon documentary evidence of Diana's belief she would be killed in a car crash. Instead of investigating this, Condon locked the evidence in his office safe - and there it stayed for six years. But it is worse: this book reveals that in 2007 - the year following the death of Mishcon - Condon and his assistant, David Veness, fabricated a document to show that Mishcon agreed with the suppression of the evidence. They used this fabricated document - with Condon's forged signature - to support their perjury at the 2007-8 inquest, where they falsely claimed Mishcon had insisted on the suppression of the Diana evidence. Corruption at Scotland Yard shows that Lord John Stevens, Lord Paul Condon and Sir David Veness colluded and lied repeatedly during their extensive inquest cross-examinations. The book also reveals that Stevens presided over one of the largest sham investigations in the history of British policing - Operation Paget. An operation that the public believed was designed to investigate the Paris crash was instead used to cover up the truth of what occurred - protecting the perpetrators of the assassination of Princess Diana. This book reveals that on the very day of the crash Condon and Veness deliberately appointed Jeffrey Rees - a corrupt officer - to head the investigation, even though he was not available and had a clear conflict of interest. Corruption at Scotland Yard exposes police corruption involving top police on a scale that will shock most members of the British public. |

| the murder of princess diana 2007: Princess Margaret Tim Heald, 2022-05-05 Elegant and sophisticated biography of Princess Margaret, the controversial sister of Queen Elizabeth II, the Princess Diana of her day 'A fascinating insight into the life of the party girl who became an icon in postwar Britain' DAILY EXPRESS 'She was a witty, intelligent, stimulating companion - happily Tim Heald captures all these qualities in his admirably well-balanced biography' LITERARY REVIEW The almost universal conception is that the life of Princess Margaret (1930-2002) was a tragic failure, a history of unfulfilment. Tim Heald's vivid and elegant biography portrays a woman who was beautiful and sexually alluring - even more so than Princess Diana, years later - and whose reputation for naughtiness co-existed with the glamour. The mythology is that Margaret's life was 'ruined' by her not being allowed to marry the one true love of her life - Group Captain Peter Townsend - and that therefore her marriage to Lord Snowdon and her well-attested relationships with Roddy Llewellyn and others were mere consolation prizes. Margaret's often exotic personal life in places like Mustique is a key part of her story. The author has had extraordinary help from those closest to Princess Margaret, including her family (Lord Snowdon and her son, Lord Linley), as well as three of her private secretaries and many of her ladies in waiting. These individuals have not talked to any previous biographer. He has also had the Queen's permission to use the royal archives. Heald asks why one of the most famous and loved little girls in the world, who became a juvenile wartime sweetheart, ended her life a sad wheelchair-bound figure, publicly reviled and ignored. This is a story of a life in which the private and the public seemed permanently in conflict. The biography is packed with good stories. Princess Margaret was never ignored; what she said and did has been remembered and recounted to Tim Heald. |
