In the investigation of the mysterious death of Princess Diana of Wales, three main conspiracy theories are highlighted. These include the Royal Family arranging a hit, the paparazzi causing the accident, and the most plausible, Diana’s driver Henri Paul intentionally causing the accident.          The first conspiracy theory proposes that the Royal Family arranged a hit on Diana. According to author Jon King and journalist John Beveridge in their book “Princess Diana: The Hidden Evidence”, “There were letters at the end of the inquest that were withheld by the coroner, and it was clearly stated that she was murdered”(King and Beveridge 246). This suggests that there may have been evidence of Diana’s death that was covered up or not fully looked into during the investigation. Additionally, some believers of this conspiracy feel “the Royal Family wanted to prevent Princess Diana from marrying her boyfriend, Fayed, the son of a prominent Egyptian billionaire” (Arnold 1). Though Princess Diana was no longer directly married into the Royal Family, this marriage may have influenced the face of the Royal Family. The idea of the Royal Family being involved in Diana’s death is dramatic, and it is important to consider whether there is any sufficient evidence to support this theory. However, a coroner "discounted entirely the conspiracy theory — pursued for more than a decade by Mohamed Al Fayed — that Princess Diana was murdered in a secret service plot at the behest of Britain's Royal Family" (“Coroner: No Evidence Royals Tied to Diana Death” 1). The Royal Family has consistently denied any involvement in Diana’s death (Petit 1). There is no concrete evidence to prove otherwise. With no evidence and only speculation, it is extremely unlikely that the Royal Family arranged a hit on Diana.          Another theory surrounding Diana’s death is that the paparazzi caused the accident. In an article by the British Broadcasting Corporation(BBC), it is noted that “At times she complained about the media's intrusion, accusing photographers and journalists of making normal life impossible for her” (“The Princess and the Press” 1). This suggests that the aggressive pursuit by the paparazzi may have contributed to the circumstances leading up to the fatal crash. “The paparazzi's relentless pursuit of Diana is well documented”, and many believers of this theory believe they are to blame for the death of Diana (Syed 1). According to the French prosecutor's office, "The photographers who pursued Diana, Princess of Wales, as she and her companion Dodi al-Fayed left the Ritz Hotel in Paris two years ago, were not responsible for causing the crash that later killed her and two other people in the car" (Rcfp). While there is evidence of the paparazzi’s presence the night of the accident, it is important to note that the paparazzi were not in the operation of the vehicle. The responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle fell in the hands of Diana’s driver. While the paparazzi may have played a role in the events leading up to the crash, they are not solely responsible for the fatalities.          The third theory suggests that Diana’s driver Henri Paul intentionally caused the accident. As discussed by forensic experts and investigators, Henri Paul’s state of severe intoxication at the time of the crash raises suspicions of intent (“Expert Investigation Reveals the Truth About Princess Diana’s Death 25 Years Ago'' 1). At the time of the accident, “the Mercedes had collided with another vehicle moments before entering the Pont de l'Alma tunnel, causing it to swerve, hit a curb and spin into the 13th pillar” (“Expert Investigation Reveals the Truth About Princess Diana’s Death 25 Years Ago'' 1). According to reports, Paul’s blood alcohol level was significantly above the legal limit, impairing his ability to drive safely, and the French authorities noted, “Henri Paul’s intoxication was extreme, reaching a level where his judgment and motor skills would have been severely compromised” (“Investigation Into the Death of Princess Diana” 1). This underscores the critical role of alcohol impairment in the sequence of events leading up to the fatal crash. The sole survivor of the crash, Trevor Rees-Jones, Diana’s former bodyguard states, ‘The accident happened because Henri Paul was taking alcohol and was driving the vehicle. That's why the accident happened (Wheatstone and Donaldson 1). Additionally, according to the findings of the Operation Paget inquiry commissioned by the British authorities, “Henri Paul’s blood alcohol level was found to be more than three times the French legal limit at the time of the crash” (“Investigation Into the Circumstances Surrounding the Death of Diana, Princess of Wales” 1). This inquiry concluded that Paul’s drinking was a key factor in the crash, highlighting, “His intoxication was a critical contributing factor in the events that resulted in the loss of control of the vehicle (1). Some theories also suggest Paul may have been under external influence due to his employment at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, where it is rumored he had ties to intelligence agencies or secret organizations (Laliberte 1). Whether or not Paul was influenced by an external secret agency, his intoxication still caused the crash. While conspiracy theories suggest other motives, such as coercion or external influence, evidence suggests that the primary cause of the accident was Henri Paul’s impaired judgment. His intoxication causing erratic behavior makes this theory the most plausible. Taking into account the evidence presented around the accident, the theory that Henri Paul intentionally caused the car accident holds the most weight.          The death of Princess Diana remains a subject of speculation and controversy, with three main conspiracy theories attempting to explain the tragic events. Through examination of evidence and considering all factors that are in play the night of the accident, it is clear that Paul’s intoxication and actions likely led to the death of Princess Diana.
