Whilst most of the British media would have the public believe that Diana was killed in an accident caused by a drunk driver, a jury at the inquest into her death found that she was a victim of unlawful killing at the hands of the driver of the car, Henri Paul, and those in pursuing vehicles - who were not named or identified.
Today's Daily Express picks up on an interview Mike Mansfield has given to El Periodico, published yesterday in Spain.
In the interview, Mansfield goes with the narrative that has always been the belief of this blogger. He now makes clear that he believes it was Diana's campaign to outlaw anti-personnel landmines that led to her death in, what he believes, was a botched attempt to simply scare her.
You can read the translation that the Daily Express has gone with if you read their report. The Daily Mail also covers the story.
Our translation is adapted from Google. We can speak Spanish, but we wanted to get this exact as is possible:
"I think the authorities disliked the relationship between Princess Diana and Dodi al Fayed. Despite all the work that Mohamed al Fayed has done for children or hospitals, he is persona non grata in the United Kingdom. For her part, [Diana] had given some interviews attacking the royal family over the way she was treated, but I think what caused most upset was that Diana became very active against landmines.Now, we are aware that a lot of people will not welcome questions about the circumstances of Diana's death being still asked even today.
The arms trade in the UK is huge and is among the top three in the world. The investigation [inquest] showed that Princess Diana was preparing to denounce the British complicity in supplying arms to countries not respecting human rights.
If this conspiracy theory were true, do you think that someday we will know what really happened?
My theory is different. I do not think anyone would want her dead. I think there was a plan to sabotage the relationship and change their life, trying to stop their activities. But the plan went very wrong and ended with [her] death. As for the truth, however difficult that is, it always comes to light.
However, it seems that Mike Mansfield QC is now daring to make public the questions that he should have been allowed to have asked more fully about at the inquest which, as regular readers of this blog will know, we dismiss as mostly a disgraceful and invasive, quite distasteful exploration of an amazing lady and her private life - rather than exploring the circumstances of her death, including looking at the real political and financial faces who were upset by her humanitarian efforts to eradicate anti-personnel landmines.
That Mike Mansfield QC has gone public with the questions even though he is not now in the employ of Al Fayed is significant... and hugely welcomed by this Diana-supporting - nay; Diana-worshipping blog.
Had Diana lived, she would have stood by and supported the people. She was a true humanitarian who dearly loved and cared for we, the everyday people of this country (her 'man on the street') - as well as being devoted to those who suffered all around the world.
We owe it to her to hope for the truth to out, one day.
