\"\"<\/a>Mohammed al-Fayed<\/span> has been on NBC’s Today Show<\/span> denouncing the Stevens’ inquiry<\/a> into the Paris crash that killed his son, Princess Diana<\/span>, and driver Henri Paul. Stevens, says al-Fayed, was blackmailed by the security services to produce a whitewash.<\/p>\n

Al-Fayed has lost a son, and as a human being he deserves our sympathy. But the sad truth is his son might still be alive today had he:<\/p>\n

a) buckled up<\/span>
b) not been driven by someone who’d been drinking<\/span><\/p>\n

Al-Fayed claims that Prince Philip<\/span> commissioned MI6<\/span> to kill Diana. The Duke of Edinburgh hasn’t responded to these bizarre, grief-stricken claims, but there is no doubt that he is a deeply unsympathetic public figure who has gunned down hundreds, probably thousands of wildfowl.<\/p>\n

But apart from the fact that the only survivor of the crash was<\/u> wearing a seat-belt<\/a>, there is the horrible, awful truth that the British royal family would be up to their armpits in blood if al-Fayed’s claims were true.<\/p>\n

Were they homicidally inclined, they have been humiliated, mocked, lambasted and railed against enough to keep a team of assassins in almost constant employ.<\/p>\n

And al-Fayed himself has survived against all odds to make his wild, pained accusations. And the media, against all his conspiracy theories, is happy to air them.
