This no doubt controversial documentary is set to screen on Friday 13th May in Cannes - mixes candid interviews with recreations of some of the key moments from the official inquest. The questions the film asks, as it seeks to uncover the truth about the world's most famous car crash, could shake the public's perceptions of how Diana and her partner Dodi Fayed died - and where responsibility ultimately lies for this apparent Establishment cover-up perpetrated by "Dark Forces".
Below is the trailer for the documentary which shows interviews with some of Diana's friends and you can make of it what you will. I guess the title in itself suggests what sort of angle the makers of the movie will take.
You can find out more on the official website.
Personally I'm not sure what to think. I don't really like the way the trailer opens like a horror movie but would value your opinions.
My wife, who has uncanny instincts about people, observed to me that Diana knew her marriage was over right after she delivered her second son Harry, who was born a redhead, and when Charles walked into her hospital room, he took one look and said something much like, "He's from your family, not mine," then he left without even holding the baby briefly. The Windsors as they prefer to be called (though they're really German with the gutteral, hyphenated name Saxe-Coburg Gotha) don't have any redheaded children in their line, you see. There may even be suspicions that Harry isn't Charles' son, given Diana's later deviations. The family may have had DNA testing done, but it's not telling, and that won't matter in any case because there's very little chance Harry might gain the throne. Not just because he's Charles' second son after William, but also he has blotted his copybook, so to speak, with his flirtations with Nazi symbols. A juvenile joke, perhaps, but the British royal family came close to getting the chop at the start of WWII for Nazi sympathies. That was why King Edward VIII abdicated and went into virtual exile in the US; the excuse that he took up with Wallis Simpson was only that, an excuse. He had been a fervent admirer of Hitler, along with much of the British so-called 'nobility', the landed leeches of the UK. The British monarchy is still immensely powerful - the Queen is still in command of the military, and no PM can head Parliament without her assent, and the monarchy's wealth is hidden but very extensive. Killing a wayward former Princess who had taken up with a wog, so a likely heir to the throne might call a Muslin 'dad'? It seems possible.
