Just when I thought that at last the whole Diana conspiracy saga had come to an end Mohamed Al Fayed's mouth piece tells us he is going to "keep his options open". Options to what?. To get up in court and admit it was his employee that was responsible for the death of his son and Diana while driving under the influence of drink or perhaps apologize to the Duke of Edinburgh for calling a man who had fought in the war for England, a nazi. What a very sad man Al Fayed must be to have to fill his life chasing shadows. It's over, let Dodi and Diana rest in peace.

I think, Catherine S of Ontario, that, perhaps understandably, you overestimate the interest of and fondness for the Royal Family among the majority of Brits. I would say that most people here are mildly interested in them when something noteworthy happens, which would be mainly births, marriages and deaths, with the odd golden or diamond jubilee. But on the whole we really do not worship them and regard 'the late mother of our future king' as somebody who is semi-divine and therefore deserving of all the time, effort and money that has been spent on this crazy inquest. From my reading of online forums like this one my impression is that the real Diana-worshippers tend to be American. Please note that there was one person and one only who attended every day of the inquest as a spectator; they weren't queuing up to get in.

The manner of Diana's death was so imprecise that no 'secret service' would have tried to do it in that way. If such a conspiracy and assassination attempt had been made by the secret service I'm sure it would have been far better organised. For a start, had Diana been wearing seat belts, she may have survived. Had the French medical authorities NOT had a policy of stabilising accident victims at the scene instead of rushing them to hospital, she may have survived. Had Henri Paul not have been drunk he would not have lost control of the car. There were too many "what-ifs" and it was simply an accident.

Mohammed Al Fayed has lost his son and I sympathise with him. He wants vengeance, for that is a typically Arab response. Having lived among Arabs for years, I know Mr Al Fayed's philosophy. "My son is dead! Someone must pay!" The only way for that to happen is to pin it on someone, hence his accusations against the Royal Family.

It is over now - let it rest!

There is nothing crazy about the proposition of conspiracy at any time. Since the consistent feature of a conspiracy is secrecy, it is always a reasonable allegation in association with connected facts which involve several people. The crucial point is that conspirators will naturally deny any such position while those excluded or afflicted will allege that it exists. In other words, the people who deny conspiracies are those involved directly or by association and thus the denial carries no weight. Equally, the failure to prove a conspiracy doesn t mean to say that it doesn t exist, it is merely unproven.

So Prince Philip didnt do it? And I suppose it wasn't him who let my car tyres down or poisoned my hedgehog either? Why wont the man leave me alone?

I don't understand the fact that you are printing all comments that , to me, are negative towards Diana and the enquiry . 5 comments and NONE in support of the basics of an enquiry for the late mother of our future king...well.. perhaps John Bowman's, a bit....
It is almost as if we are being led ( again, yet, still) to the fateful opinion the establishment wants us to have, with the aid of the media and columnists and that would be of course, a duplicate of their own opinion..

Sometimes it is better to try and fail, than not try at all. The Diana Inquest was clearly something Authority wanted to avoid, but finally it was forced on them. Something of a suicide mission if getting at what really happened was the goal. But a lot of dirt and new details came out, and other information was given greater publicity. Too many loose ends and things that didn't quite add up. Good to make them squirm, perhaps Authority will be more careful next time. But bottom line is that the MSM can still sell the public almost any lie. Looks like it's open season on conspiracy theory (make that investigation). Just need one crack in the dam.

Surely there must be grounds now to sue the appellant, as both the employer of the drunk driver and the person instructing the driver to drive whilst intoxicated, for a very considerable sum?

Mark Derek, Wisbech,

hmmmm yeah, "the truth must come out, what ever the cost". Diana dies "drunk driver at fault"
15 years later "an accident caused by a drunk driver was to blame"......whats the difference? $40 million and a waste of time and money is the only difference. Would Joe Public ever get such a hearing even if he was shot by his own police force meant to protect him? not a chance.

Liam, Aberdeen, Scotland

OK. Fine. The inquest has cost a ridiculous sum. It has reached a conclusion and, Heaven knows, we would all like to close the file at this stage and put the whole matter behind us.
However, I assume that unlawful killing is a crime still. So what do we do now? Do we just sit back and let the surviving perpetrators of this crime get away with it?

John Williams, Cardiff, Wales

Easily the most boring conspiracy theory of all time, centred on the most dull person ever and a complete waste of everyone’s time and money. Even if there was a conspiracy I still couldn’t care less and I don't know anyone else who does either.

With this inquest over then, hopefully, no one will ever want to talk about this none event again and the media will focus on stories that are actually interesting and important.

Di is dead. Get over it.

Jason Mead, Bristol, England

"The truth must come out, whatever the cost". Whilst we are in such a high minded spirit, can we now have an inquiry into the Saudi / BAe arms deal? Or the Iraq war? Or anything which has more relevance to the country as a whole than the farce we have just witnessed?

George, London,

And wouldn't it be nice if the same rigour was devoted to Government inspired and backed conspiracy theories designed to scare us into accepting every more intrusive legislation supplanting existing protection and every higher taxes : obesity, binge-drinking, terrorism, out of control youth and of course the biggest current theory globalwarmism.

But sadly the debate, such as it ever was, has been declared over and we meekly must do as we are told.
