Princess Diana – The Final Word? – Inquest Documentary 7/4/08 2 of 3

Martyn Gregory, author of the acclaimed book about the death of Diana: ‘Diana: the Last Days’ covered the Inquest every week during its six month duration for Sky News. Once the jury had returned an Unlawful Killing verdict due to the negligence of Henri Paul and the Papparazzi, the conspiracy theories had been finally debunked. He presented this documentary reviewing the evidence that led to the Inquest verdict.

Claude Roulet, the acting Ritz Hotel manager on the day says the professional chauffeurs who could have driven Diana and Dodi noticed Henri Paul was not his normal self.

The Police Officer who led the French investigation between 1997 and 1999, Commander Jean-Claude Mules, states it was obvious it was a straightforward car crash and what came afterwards were nothing more than allegations with no evidence to support them. He then speaks of his contact with James Andanson.

Martyn Gregory then goes on to touch upon the allegations surrounding ‘Flash before the Crash’ and the time it took to get Diana to the hospital.

Diana’s close friend Rosa Monckton who went on holiday with Diana two weeks before she died, gives some insight into Diana’s feelings for Dodi. There is then an astonishing revelation about what was said about the supposed engagement ring that is now on display in Harrods, backed up by Claude Roulet who collected the ring from the Repossi jewellers.

What I notice about this documentary is that it interviews people who were present at the time of the events under analysis and most of them met or knew Diana very close to her death. The pro-conspiracy theory documentaries almost always only feature people who were far away, had no direct connection to events and are mere armchair commentators.
