Princess Diana book claims her driver was framed
A raft of alleged inconsistencies in the evidence surrounding the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, has been published in a book by an investigative journalist.

Australian journalist John Morgan claimed he was disclosing a “tidal wave of evidence” that undermined the official conclusion that her death was an accident.

The inquest into the death of the Princess concluded that she and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed were unlawfully killed through a combination of the gross negligence of their driver, who was speeding and was more than three times the French drink-drive limit.

Lord Justice Scott Baker declared that there was “not a shred of evidence” in support of the several conspiracy theories.

One of which, propounded by the millionaire Mohamed Fayed, the father of Dodi, claimed that the couple were "murdered'' by MI6 on the orders of the Duke of Edinburgh.

The inquest’s verdict in April 2008 did little to quell those conspiracies, however, and Mr Morgan’s book is the latest to claim evidence of an alternative conclusion.

Diana Inquest: The Untold Story alleges a cover-up by the authorities in France and claims the driver, Henri Paul, was not drunk.

The book alleges Parisian investigators bungled the inquiry and that documents prove that there was a second body in the morgue when tests were carried out.

He claims there were inconsistencies in the blood samples taken, errors in identifying the body and said key witnesses were not allowed to give evidence at the inquest.

He alleged that tests revealed traces of prescription drugs which Mr Paul was not taking, while finding no evidence of other medication he was known to be using.

Mr Morgan told the Daily Express: “When you carefully put all the pieces of this huge complex evidential jigsaw together, you can see this is a dead person who has been framed.

“Were it not so serious, I would say the inquest carried out at the Royal Courts of Justice in London was a joke.”

Confusion over whether the samples were taken from Mr Paul’s body was suggested at the inquest.

It was asked whether there were two bodies in the room at the time of the post-mortem examination.

Some photographs showed the only body tag on a wrist, other images showed the only tag on an ankle.
