The official cause of Princess Diana's death, noted O, The Oprah Magazine, was due to injuries suffered in a car crash while driver Henri Paul was attempting to evade paparazzi chasing the vehicle. Paul and Diana's boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, also perished in the wreck.
Unofficially, however, an array of conspiracy theories have risen up that ascribe her death not to an accident, but an assassination. Fayed's father, Mohamed al-Fayed, was arguably the chief proponent of that theory, claiming Diana was pregnant with his son's child, and the royals had her killed as part of a vast conspiracy. "They murdered her!" he told a 2008 inquest, reported The New York Times.
As The Independent reported, in 2004, the British Metropolitan Police launched Operation Paget, investigating different rumors surrounding around Diana's death. When the results of the three-year, $5-million investigation were released, the report concluded Princess Diana's death was the result of a "tragic accident." The investigation ultimately found there was "no conspiracy and there was no cover-up."
