| − | In 1997 Diana was holidaying with her lover Dodi Fayed, son of the controversial businessman [[Mohammed al Fayed]]. On 31 August the couple dined at the Ritz Hotel (owned by al Fayed) before leaving by car for Dodi Fayed's Paris appartment. While travelling at speed (eluding the paparazzi) through the Pont d'Alma underpass, their car crashed. Dodi Fayed (42) and the driver, Henri Paul (41), were killed instantly; Diana (36) died some hours later in hospital; a bodyguard survived. It was later found that Paul was over the blood alcohol limit for driving. Despite this, conspiracy theories have flourished about the incident, the most flamboyant being that the [[Duke of Edinburgh]] ordered the British security service [[MI5]] to have Diana and Dodi murdered, to prevent her giving birth to a Moslem child (though she was not pregnant at the time of her death). Such throries are fostered by Mohammed al Fayed and by the British daily newspaper the [[Daily Express]]. | + | In 1997 Diana was holidaying with her lover Dodi Fayed, son of the controversial businessman [[Mohammed al Fayed]].
