The Diana Investigations

Blaming the photographers is like blaming the water when someone drowns. The paparazzi are part of the most honorable profession on earth: hounding the rich and famous night and day. All of the morons criticizing the press and blaming them for her death are the same idiots who consume the gutter press. I never spent a penny on this trash because I didn't care a bit about the life of some half-wit royal, a class of people who should be eliminated. I can't believe countries still have monarchies. It's sickening. All men are created equal. Period.

I'll say this, had the royal hag run over my child as they tore down a Paris street at over 100 mph, I would have beaten everyone in that car to death with a tire iron. They were photographers, not terrorists chasing her car. The driver was drunk. So what? French drivers are used to driving half in the bag. Why didn't the people's princess tell him to slow down? Speed limits are for everyone, even some creepy rich couple who don't want to smile for the camera. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Just because a lot of stupid people believe that this was anything more than a traffic accident means nothing at all. The reason I rate this so low is that this "investigation" hardly presents any facts in the case, and it was a fairly simple case. A car was speeding down a city street at over 100 mph and ran into something very solid (they didn't even mention what the car struck in this horrible "investigation").

This woman was no medieval saint as she is so often portrayed. She was just the product of wealth and the horrible British class system who married into royalty. She became famous yet had nothing in the way of talent or accomplishment, and in the end, her fame brought about her end...because her car was going 120 mph down a city street. She's only lucky that she didn't kill and innocent people just trying to make it through their day.

Disappointed to see this follow such an illogical and biased narrative. It is in the public interest that we know what happened to Diana "warts and all".

Rather than present the facts this documentary pushes you very hard towards a particular conclusion. The summary at the end is completely at odds with the facts and all sorts of bizarre details that have never been explained.

The documentary relies a lot on interviews especially police interviews. Their claims are never followed up with hard evidence an omission which is presumably deliberate. The producers' primary focus seems to be to dismantle any possibility of wrongdoing rather than report objectively.

I would still recommend watching this series but viewer discretion is certainly advised. There is a lot of misinformation presenter and viewers should certainly be alert to that. Parts have all the characteristics of a government sponsored broadcast.

The reality is we will never know what actually happened to Diana. However, the public should at least be told the facts of the case. It isn't for a documentary to triage the facts and pick and choose what information we should or shouldn't be told.

RIP Diana. You will be forever in our hearts.

An interesting update on this long running sad saga. It's little wonder Mr Alfaed and the boys have struggled over the years with all the extra pressure piled on by the media and a BBC journalist who should have been jailed for fraud not elevated to manage religious programming.

I digress - feels like the programme but most conspiracy theories to bed - just left two unanswered questions for me.

Did HM The Queen really say "that" to Paul Burrell?.... And has she ever contradicted him or explained further? (And even if you can't bring yourself to interview the Monarch surely the Police can submit a list of questions to be answered?)

And secondly has some misdirection being going on pointing the finger at MI6 (via a all so convenient disgruntled employee?)....surely the UK has many other clandestine departments that get up to dirty tricks? Was only MI6 interviewed?

Other that that I felt the producers did a good job of tying off many loose ends and we can rest easy!

This was a very good series, bilingual French/English. This bilingual fact makes for the series' most compelling statement, by Lord Stevens. In the final episode, he asks how an investigation is done so many years after the accident in territory under the jurisdiction of England's closest ally.

A French documentary, totally French, done by the French investigative journalist and true-crime specialist Karl Zero takes the focus into the countryside, where James Andanson was found dead. I almost wished I hadn't seen it, because then "The Diana Investigations" would have convinced me it was--as (French) Brigadier Leader Monteil (sp?) repeats at least twelve times--a "banal" car accident.

As another review says, this is a very good documentary series, but it won't change conspiracy theorists' minds.

Very atmospheric show. Really well-made. There are subtitles in the first two episodes, but I found it interesting to hear the French perspective before the British police come in. Do we need another Diana documentary? Yes actually, as long as so many people still think she was murdered. This series does its best to set the record straight. Highly recommend.
