パリでの死亡事故(というよりほとんど間違いなく暗殺)から6年も経過した今月、ダイアナの検死が開始されているが、そんな中デイリーミラー紙がリークした情報。
ダイアナはあの事故死の前年1996年10月に、執事のポール・バレルに手紙を託しており、その中で「ある人物」が自分を殺害しようとしている、と訴えたことは今夏同紙によって報道済であるが、この「ある人物」はやはりチャールズ皇太子だった由。「ダイアナが生きていることが、カーミラ・パーカーボウルズとの再婚への障害だったため」としているが、ダイアナ本人がどう考えていたかとは裏腹に、彼女の暗殺がこんなに単純な話だったとはにわかには信じられない。第一肝っ玉が極端に小さいことで知られるチャールズ(息子のウィリアムの方がはるかに太っ腹だともっぱらの評判である)に、こんな巨大なリスクを冒す勇気があったとはとても思えない。ダイアナが生きていることが、チャールズの再婚にとってさほど重大なネックだったかどうかも不明である。
当代随一の死の商人カショギの義理の弟であるモハメド・アル・ファイエド、とその息子であるドディが関わっていた兵器ビジネスが動機だった可能性の方が強いのではないか。むしろドディが本命でダイアナはカバーだった可能性さえ排除すべきではない。死の商人の動かすカネはケタが違うからである。実際に暗殺を企画する人間なり集団は、経費(様々な関係者の口封じ・買収コストも入れて)とリスクを勘定に入れて暗殺実行のバランスシートをはじいた上でなければ、決してゴーサインは出さない。したがって分母が大きければ大きいほど暗殺が強行される可能性も高くなる。
英国王室は事前に打診を受けたであろうが、その際の返事は ”This conversation does not exist.”だったことであろう。ダイアナが消えることは、王室にとっても僥倖だったことは言うまでもない。
デイリーミラー紙自身が従前から、ダイアナはチャールズを危険だと見ていなかった、との報道を繰り返していたこともあり、この情報は陽動作戦である可能性が高いと見られる。
同じく今日のデーリーメール紙に、「ジャッカルの日」で有名なフレデリック・フォーサイスが「ダイアナの事故死が暗殺であるはずがない」との記事を書いているが、当夜リッツホテルからパリ市内のアパートまで急遽移動することを決めたのはドディ自身であり、そんなことは事前に暗殺隊に読めたはずはない」などと、じつにたわいない理由を挙げている。暗殺する気になれば、ドディが突然アパートに向かわざるを得ない状況を演出して作り出すに決まっているではないか。MI6が組織を挙げて動けば実に簡単な話である。日頃取材等でMI6に相当の義理があるフォーサイスから、この手の話題に関して本音を聞き出すなど所詮無理な話ではある。
"MY HUSBAND IS PLANNING AN ACCIDENT"
Jan 6 2004
By JANE KERR, Royal Reporter
PRINCESS Diana believed Prince Charles wanted her killed in an accident when she was plagued by anxiety and feared for her safety.
She told of her worries in her now infamous note which she handed to butler Paul Burrell as "insurance" on the day she wrote it in October 1996, 10 months before she died in a Paris car crash.
Burrell censored the note when he disclosed its existence in his book last year by blanking the words "my husband" from the text.
The full text, revealed for the first time, now reads: "This particular phase of my life is the most dangerous - my husband is planning 'an accident' in my car, brake failure & serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry."
The Daily Mirror - not Burrell - has decided to publish the blanked out name because it will inevitably appear in the public domain.
Burrell is prepared to hand the note to the coroner probing the deaths of Diana and boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed whose inquests open today.
By bringing the text to light he is honouring a long-standing promise to co-operate fully with the inquiries.
Speaking at his home in Farndon, Cheshire, Burrell - known by Diana as her "rock" - said yesterday: "This matter has to be handled with great sensitivity and I have genuine concerns about that.
"I reproduced only a portion of that letter in my book to provide further force to the argument that an inquest must be held.
"To that end, the document has fulfilled its main purpose.
"I'll do what I've always said I'll do, and provide the coroner with every possible assistance where the information I know is relevant to his investigations."
Royal coroner Michael Burgess has already written to Burrell asking for the document to be handed over for examination.
The former butler is happy for Mr Burgess to see the entire contents.
He is due to meet his lawyers this week and will then be questioned about the correspondence. No decision over whether the letter will be regarded as evidence will be made until the coroner has viewed its contents.
A source said: "Mr Burgess will take nothing on face value, and he'll question Mr Burrell very closely over its contents and how it came to be in his possession. It will be a matter handled with great sensitivity and care."
Mr Burgess has yet to decide what witnesses and evidence will be deemed admissable at the full inquests. But Burrell is widely expected to be a key witness.
The sensational development once again puts Charles's relationship with his companion Camilla Parker Bowles in the spotlight. It again focuses attention on Diana's anxieties over her ex-husband in the year before her death.
It also renews attention on the conspiracy theories swirling round Diana's death in the Pont d'Alma tunnel in Paris.
These theories were fuelled by the haunting similarities between her own prediction and the 1997 crash.
Speculation raged over the the blanked-out name in the letter published in Burrell's book, A Royal Duty, which was exclusively serialised in the Mirror. At the time, the passage appeared as: "********* is planning 'an accident' in my car... in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry."
Burrell had instructed his publishers Penguin to replace the word "him" with "Charles" to protect the prince's interests.
He said in his book: "I will never say what those blacked-out words say... deciding what to do with it (the letter) has been a source of much soul-searching.
"I agree that it may be futile in what it achieves because it can do no more than provide yet another question mark. But if that question mark leads to an inquest... it will have achieved something."
Burrell has revealed that at the time the letter was written Diana was plagued by insecurities and even believed her Kensington Palace apartments were bugged.
Her marriage had ended only two months before. Though she had negotiated an estimated 」17million settlement, the princess was devastated at losing her HRH title. Charles had admitted conducting an affair with Camilla, saying he committed adultery only after his marriage became "irretrievably broken down, us both having tried".
Today, Camilla is the prince's accepted companion. She lives with him at his London home, Clarence House, and his Gloucestershire home, Highgrove. She has also accompanied him on semi-official engagements.
Diana's friends have always said that in the months leading up to her death she had resolved her differences with Charles and was looking forward to them becoming friends. Burrell said in the Mirror the letter provided "evidence of the state of the princess's mind in the final months of her life".
He admitted it increased huge public interest which was "crying out for a full examination of the facts".
Mr Burgess announced that an inquest would be opened into Diana's death two months after Burrell's sensational book was published.
The hearing will open at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre, in Westminster, Central London. An inquest on Dodi, who lived at Oxted, Surrey, will open in the afternoon at Reigate. Mr Burgess is expected to announce the scope of his hearings and the course his investigation will take before full inquests are held later in the year.
The coroner will first have to digest a 6,000-page police report and secret evidence from the French inquiry into the princess's death held by judge Herve Stephan. First evidence is not likely to be heard before the autumn.
Diana, 36, and Dodi died in the early hours of August 31, 1997, when a Mercedes driven by chauffeur Henri Paul careered out of control and smashed into a concrete pillar. The 1999 French inquiry said the crash was an accident caused by chauffeur Paul being high on drink and drugs.
Dodi's father, Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, believes his son and the princess were murdered, and has spent thousands of pounds pursuing his own investigations.
Diana's family do not believe the theories. Her mother, Frances Shand Kydd, accepted the French inquiry findings "without reservation".
