Do you think we'll ever truly know what happened?

I knew that she was a truly wonderful lady.. I was only 7 when she died, so I don't know much.... She did extraordinary things and I think people look up to her :) She will be missed deeply.... I'm just angry at the paps, when the car crash happened they just stood there taking photos while she was dying, who to tell maybe she could still be alive now if the paps think with their heads and not about money!!

The fairy tale like wedding to Prince Charles, her energetic work on ridding the world of land mines, how beautiful she was compared to Charles, what a lucky guy he was, that she was a common school teacher, the programs she initiated for reading skills in British schools, then the Shock of the divorce.......also how many women around the world started having hair cuts that looked like hers. Then the disgust of the Queen prior to and leading up to the marriage. There was all sorts of gossip from within the ranking elites mostly negative towards Diana. No - do not think that the answer of what truly happened on that fateful night!! Too much money and power behind the scenes to ever know....

walked into a village newsagent shop, about 2 days after the event... she was still on the front pages.
I made a remark to the man behind the counter
"she's been dead 2 days, why is that old cow still on the front page"
It was the first media-driven mourning that I had ever seen
for the first couple of days, she was just another dead celeb, but - as the media started hyping up the grief - it soon became a celebration of national mourning.
by the next week there were memorial books all over the place - in supermarkets and libraries.... it was a crazy time
it was an eye opener - how something so trivial could be ramped up and cause public hysteria
I couldnt help but think of the hysteria at hitlers rallies.
in the end she was just another spoilt celeb with human failings...... a tragedy for her family, but she meant less than nothing to me

In my mind she was most beautiful. She was pleasant and,except for her disagreements with the "Firm (Charles included)", seemed to care about people - especially those in need or who were unable to do things for themselves.
I was shocked when she was killed in that car crash.
No, I don't think we'll ever know what REALLY happened because I think there were cover-ups on the French side as well as the English side (and especially in "The FIRM").
I think that we should let her rest in peace and stop bringing all the hurt up before her sons. Let them have a chance to live a normal life (as much as you can in Royalty) - but I hope "The FIRM" doesn't get their hooks into the minds of the sons.
AND........... I hope Kate researches her likely future - else she could be the next casualty.

No i don't think we will ever find out but at least we have a pictorial record. She seemed a kind and caring individual with faults and problems just like everyone else, and being married to a man like Charles must have driven her to distraction, knowing that he was having an affair and in love with someone else must have been crushing. I think that now is the time to remember her and say farewell, she wasn't a saint not sinner but a complex and sometime misunderstood woman and i hope that she is at peace where ever she is.

She was beautiful a princess that had the common touch but at the end of the day what else could she be but a humanitarian.There was and isn't no conspiracy the crash was caused by a man who should not have been driving, and a couple who should have worn seatbelts no one is infallible.

When I was a kid I used to keep a scrap book of pictures of her but as I got older I kind of lost interest. I thought the work she did for charities etc was fantastic and she had a real empathy with people.
She seemed to struggle with many things in life and it's a shame she never got the help she obvisouly needed to deal with some of her personal problems.
I was big on the conspiracy theories that went around at the time but now I just believe it was a tragic accident that could have been avoided if someone else was driving the car and the media weren't in hot pursuit.
I did cry at the funeral, it was very moving to see a nation in mourning. I hope she is now at peace.

Memories of her: Her unrequited love for her husband. Her love for her children which she was proud to display. Her love for all humans everywhere which radiated from her and made others feel special. Her failings - which she had - just like the rest of us!
We will never know the real truth as it would be a 'world-wide scandal' if it ever was revealed and the end of the Monachy. I feel so sorry for the two young Princes having to be part of that family. Would you like it if your Dad had a life-long affair with a 'less than reputable' woman like Camilla - then your Mum dies tragically and you are groomed to see 'the other woman' Camilla as your wonderful step-mother? Move over Fairy-Tales Grimm - it doesn't really get much worse than that in childrens nightmares does it!

My memories of her are mainly of her landmine campaign and also the fact I couldn't watch my cartoons when I woke up that morning 10years ago (i loved the Xmen cartoons).
I also think we will never truly know what happened because even if we do lots of people will think it is false anyway, and would ask for more investigations etc.

Who really knows Diana personally?
All we see on TV are the good bits

there are several people who have far too much to lose to have the truth about her assassination, come out. EVER
i believe she was killed either by accident or by design.
i saw her once.
at an official function she attended to give a talk about her charity work back in the early 90s.
it was difficult for all involved as diana stood at the podium & sobbed her heart out, she could not contain her hurt anymore.
we weren't allowed to approach her, a stunned silence went around the posh people who sat staring & did nothing!
it was one of the worst situations i've ever been in & i will never forget it.
putting 2-&-2 together now, i can tell she at that time realised she was being side-lined by the royal family & charles, she'd served her purpose, produced a heir or 2 & now it was time to step out of the limelight.
the saddest thing is she really loved charles she got caught up in the whole princess thing & who could blame her?
she was used & abused, so i don't think the truth will ever come out it would embarrass the royal family beyond repair.
