UK police are investigating the credibility of new information they have received that accuses the British military of murdering Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed.
Almost 16 years after their deaths, Scotland Yard announced in a statement on Saturday that an officer from its specialist crime and operations unit is assessing new information about the 1997 Paris car crash that took the lives of the Princess of Wales and her lover Dodi Fayed.
But they were also careful to point out that they will not reopening the case that killed Prince William and Harry’s mother.
Speculation and conspiracy theories have long surrounded the death of the “People’s Princess”, with Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, being a chief proponent of the notion Di and Dodi were killed by MI6 at the behest of the Duke Of Edinburgh.
However, UK newspaper the Telegraph has reported that, despite the many previous conspiracy theories, this one is being taken seriously enough to warrant further investigation.
In 2008, a jury ruled that the Princess and her boyfriend were unlawfully killed due to their driver Henri Paul’s reckless and negligent driving while under the influence of alcohol.
The new speculation surrounding Princess Di’s death must be a sore spot for Prince William, who just welcomed his first son into the world a month ago.
