Princess Diana – The Final Word? – Inquest Documentary 7/4/08 3 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.
In the last few minutes of the programme, Martyn Gregory explains how CCTV destroyed the fabrication that Diana and Dodi planned to live together. Diana’s friend Rosa Monckton then gives her own delicate evidence proving she couldn’t have been pregnant. Pregnancy turns out to be the allegation that is fatal to the conspiracy theorists’ case.
Martyn Gregory then does a Roger Cook on Mohammed Fayed as he leaves the Royal Courts of Justice in London on the day the Jury formally repelled his claims of murder. Fayed remains uncharacteristically silent, however.
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 and had no direct connection at all to events and are mere armchair commentators.
With the inquest now over, I hope we can move on from Diana’s death and can now fondly remember and celebrate her life.
