WEBVTT - Thinking Sideways: The Death of Princess Diana 0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:16.079 Thinking sideways. I don't know. You never know stories of 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:21.440 things we simply don't know the answer too. Hey, hey guys, 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:27.680 it's thinking sideways. Team Sideways here, um Devin joined by Steve, 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.960 And what do you guys want to talk about to me? 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.360 You know I had that tossed a coin and with 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.000 lamb not his head, so we're kind of screwed. Yeah, 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:46.960 it's probably do something magnificently huge, or just talk about 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.680 the fact that I can't believe that we've made it 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.919 this long. Yeah, we could just pne it in. How 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:55.120 do we hold it together? It's like it's like almost 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.120 people just haven't caught it on yet and we don't 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.480 know what we're talking about. You haven't figured it out, 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:06.000 Thank you Wikipedia. Well, if you guys want to talk 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:11.600 about something magnificent or like royally magnificent, should we talk 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.640 about this massive tone that I have in my hands? Yeah, 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.760 which is our show notes? Why don't we throw the 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.679 lines open and let's just let people call in with 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.360 their suggestions. Yeah, let's not do that. Okay, we don't 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:27.640 have a phone. I can't afford it. Yeah, Um, so 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.840 I guess Royal Mystery. Tonight we're going to tackle the 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.000 death of Princess Diana, and we're not going to talk 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.360 about so much why she died, as I don't know 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.679 how she died. It's just like you know who killed her. Yeah, yeah, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.360 it's just the script that's in my hand is a 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.120 good three times longer than normal scripts at least, which 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.000 so get excited. Yeah, ye, get your water bottles, your 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.960 grand ola ours, everybody, go to the bathroom. Go to 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.560 the bathroom. Now, we're not going to wait. Go to 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.640 the bathroom. Now, we're not going to stop. Okay, ready, 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.680 let's talk about Diana's personal history for a minute. Okay, quickly, yeah, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:14.880 really quick. Nothing about this is going to be quick. Joe, Damn, 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.600 I've already got to go to the bathroom. Diana Spencer 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.120 was born the fourth child of John Spencer and uh 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:27.720 Frances Kidd on July one, nineteen sixty one. She was 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:32.679 one of four children five, but she had a brother 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.359 who died as an infant before she was born. Her 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.399 father was named the eighth Earl of Spencer in ninety five, 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.840 which made Diana Lady Diana at the age of fourteen. 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.959 How cool would that be? Right? Her family was part 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.680 of the aristocracy pretty much in any way you define it. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.600 The Spencers had been really closely allied with the Royal 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.640 family for a very long time, and as one of 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:02.280 our experts put it, they were quote pals, but quote 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.440 highly orchestrated pals, the Spencer family and the Royal family. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:13.640 What exactly does that mean? Yeah, it means that they. Yeah, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.560 lots of planning went into the relationship in the two. 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.400 Also fun fact, Winston Churchill is apparently a blood relative 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:27.280 of Diana. Anyways, Diana had a pretty privileged and curated upbringing, 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.120 as I'm sure you can imagine. Her godfather was the 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:35.000 chairman of Christie's, which you guys know, right, Christie's auction house. Yeah. Yeah, 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.240 her godmother was the niece of the Queen Mother. What 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.520 I never have been able to figure that out? What 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.160 exactly is the Queen mother? She's the queen Mother is 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.320 the mom of the reigning monarch. So she's the mom 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.960 of Elizabeth, right, Elizabeth is the queen is the monarch 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:56.480 right now, so she's she's Elizabeth Elizabeth's mom. Okay, got it? Okay? That? Yeah? 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.720 I just so much royal intrigue and how the systems 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.240 are set up. Yeah, I talked to a lot of experts. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.840 I know you did, and I read a lot of 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.920 those didn't help me. Yeah, it was pretty helpful, but 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.400 I was still confused because I'm just a dummy about 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.440 these things. Diana was a shy child. She took an 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:22.320 interest in music and dancing, and again, unsurprisingly trained in 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.839 classical ballet. Apparently Diana also had an interest in children, 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.640 as in raising children and taking care of children, schooling them, 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.640 schooling them kind of. Yeah. She attended an all girls 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:39.400 boarding school, which I understand is typical of the monarchy aristocracy. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.000 She's not part of. Well. Yeah, and it turns out 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.440 she wasn't a great student. She failed her O levels 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.840 A k A Ordinary levels twice, which is kind of 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.440 like failing your G E. D. In the US. It's 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:58.120 like it's basically high school high school equivalent. Yeah. She 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.400 was an accomplished artist, however, and she excelled in music. Uh. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.039 And she was apparently an accomplished pianist as well. She 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.960 was a talented ballerina, but things that I never knew. Yeah, frankly, 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.800 I never paid attention to her when she was a lot. 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.479 Of course she didn't. Yeah, she was also a very 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.440 talented ballerina, like I said, but she was very tall, 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.680 which apparently is a thing that you can be. You 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.520 can be too tall to be a ballerina. I didn't 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.520 realize that. I thought all ballerinas were supposed to be 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.880 tall and skinny. But maybe it's because you've got to 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.880 be a little little em petite so the other of 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.440 the guy I can pick you up and trol you 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.160 around and guests. Yeah, maybe I have no idea. I 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.440 could go off on this for hours, but I just won't. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:45.120 You could erina, Yes, I traded classically. When she was seventeen, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.600 she managed to score job as a nanny for the 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:52.279 daughter of major and his wife. Diana was close friends 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.560 with the brother of the major's wife, so it seems 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.679 that's probably how she got connected. She just knew some people. 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.160 This is a always the thing that gets me when 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.560 it's it's a lot like did you guys ever watch 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:08.320 that movie Spaceballs in the nineties, I was your brother's 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.000 cousin's college roommate, Like this is this is always what 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.160 it makes me think of, Well, I knew your brother's 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:21.920 sister's mother's cousin. Just always so very very connected. Yes, 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.680 connected is a better way to say that these kind 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.760 of connections. Yeah. A year later she moved into her 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.760 mom's flat in London, and then on her eighteenth birthday, 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.320 her father purchased a flat of her own for about 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.000 a hundred thousand pounds. Getting a flat in London for 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.920 a hundred pounds these days, yeah right, no chance. She 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.800 worked a few different jobs, most of them were with children, 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.760 and she was always noted to have had a really 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.600 strong community spirit and a deep love for teaching children. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.599 In seventy seven, just prior to moving to London, Diana 0:06:55.720 --> 0:07:03.039 met her older sister's boyfriend, Charles Boy Yep, Charles, Yes, 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:10.960 Prince Charles. Yeah, so Prince Charles like dating just two 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.080 of the I think there were three. In nineteen eighty, 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.040 Diana happened to be at the same quote country weekend 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.480 event and she watched him play polo, which apparently was 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.360 his thing. Oh yeah, the watching of the polo. I 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.720 mean he liked to play polo. Ladies watching him play polo. 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.120 That's how he met his girlfriend's I was gonna say, Devin, 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.280 I know you're not old enough probably to remember this, 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.200 but Joe does. As I remember seeing all kinds of 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:42.560 footage of Charles in the eighties always playing polo, and 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.360 it's always and he was he was on the horse, 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:45.680 and then he was getting off the horse, and it 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.120 was always polo, Polo, polo with that guy that was 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.920 that's that's the royal sport. Yeah, Paul is cool, by 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.160 the way. But it looks it looks almost impossible. It 0:07:55.240 --> 0:08:01.320 looks harder than yeah. Um, I I think, And I've 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.520 read a few accounts that say that this is actually 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.920 a better cover story than the truth of how they 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.040 actually met. And they actually met drinking at a friend's apartment. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:15.200 I thought, Alley, Oh no no. After a really brief courtship, 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.920 Charles proposed to Diana. They were engaged for five months 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:26.880 before their wedding, and now they've broken up. They broken up. Yeah. 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.320 According to some sources, Diana and Charles both knew the 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.800 marriage was doomed pretty much from the start. For her part, 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.160 Diana had found out about Camilla, who is widely accepted 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.800 as charles Is first and only true love and is 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:43.360 in fact his current wife. She was married to someone 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.599 else when he married Diana, and we'll talk about that. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.800 And Charles found out that Diana was quote a vulnerable, 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.640 complicated woman already suffering from an eating disorder unquote. So 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.760 basically he realized that she was like a real human woman, 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.680 not the quote jolly country girl that he thought her 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.520 to be. That's that's a route awakening for any man 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.760 to realize that he's dating a real woman with feelings 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.880 and things. I don't date women like that. I know, 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.679 you don't know. I never understood why that was that 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.640 that had to be Why do women have to have feelings? 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:21.320 I don't know. I'm sorry, we got programmed. Yeah. They 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.120 did go through with the marriage, however, despite both of 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.120 them kind of having to be coerced into doing it. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.000 She was twenty two and he was thirty three, and 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:34.719 it was a huge event. Billions of people watched this, 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.720 which these days I guess is not so big a deal. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.400 But in the you know, eighties, that was like a 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.040 huge ordeal. Where was it like Westminster Cathedra or something 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.120 like that. Did you guys watch the wedding? I mean 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.800 recently I saw a few pictures of it, and I 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.520 just said, I want to have a wedding there. I 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.679 want to have my wedding there. That's really cool. I 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.480 remember seeing stuff about it when I was a kid, 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.439 and then I skimmed through some of the footage and 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:04.200 it is so amazingly lavish. Yeah. Well, did you see 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.640 the more recent wedding, more recent, way more recent wedding 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.320 of Prince William and Kate Middleton. I think I remember 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.199 seeing stuff. It was the same thing. It was pretty big, 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.200 wasn't that where there was the whole scandal of big hats. 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.840 All the ladies were like trying to do each other 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.880 with the bigger and bigger hats. Yes, I remember that. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.079 There was an awesome meme where two of the ladies 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:35.360 looked exactly like the wicked step sisters from Cella. Yeah. Anyways, 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.599 back to what the point at hand is. Diana and 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.679 Charles managed to pop out two lovely princes pretty quickly, 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.959 one Prince William that we were just talking about, and 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:51.160 one Prince Harry, the dreamy. By all accounts, the boys 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.560 just totally adored her and she was a hugely successful mother. 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.720 She and Charles did separate in the nineties. It seems 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:05.280 it was mutual, and they finally divorced on August. Diana 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.280 did a man named Hasnot Cohn, who was a British 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.760 Pakistani heart surgeon, and many people close to Diana said 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.959 that he was the love of her life. He broke 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.679 up with her right well, it's unclear. They dated for 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.640 two years. And during the inquest that we're going to 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.120 talk a whole lot about in a little bit here, 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.440 he was actually interviewed and he said that she broke 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.920 up with him in a park very suddenly. But a 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.520 lot of friends said that she told them that he 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.560 had broken up with her, and it's not quite clear 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.679 why they broke up or anything. Stuff that said that 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.959 that he broke it off because they dated based a 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.559 lot of it was kind of secret. It was a 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.280 secret was a secret because he didn't want it to 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.560 be He didn't want the paparazzi and he didn't want 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.439 the publicity, and he didn't want to deal with all 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.719 of that. So it was, Hey, come over and have 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.640 a pizza and a beer and we'll watch a movie 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.000 and whatever happens happens. And we do this all the time. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:04.960 But I don't want to make this an official thing 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.719 and be out in public because I don't want all 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:13.640 these people bothering me. That's that's what I read. Yeah, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.479 that would drive a wedge and just about any relationship. 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.959 But apparently most people say that he was the love 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.000 of her life, so it was pretty heartbreaking when they 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.480 broke up for her, at least despite whoever broke it 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.439 off with whoever. But within a month of her breakup 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:35.320 with con she began dating Doughty Fayed, And that's where 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.599 we're going to leave her story for the moment. I 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.560 think where we're gonna go from here is we're gonna 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.679 we're gonna talk about some of the players in the story, 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.440 because there are a lot of players and we should 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.079 probably talk about them so people have a frame of reference, 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.120 because I think we've made the mistake in the past 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.719 of presuming that everybody knew who everybody was, So we're 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.199 gonna make sure we cover the basis. First off, we 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:03.400 have Prince Charles, who is not Chuck. His full name 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.960 and title is Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.800 Charles is the first and oldest son of Queen Elizabeth 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.000 and Prince Philip, both of whom will talk about in 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.080 a minute. And like we just said, he married Diana. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.839 But Charles was born in and he is the heir 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.280 apparent to the British crown. If you don't know what 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.640 the air apparent means it is the next in line. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.480 So yes, so it's the you know, there's the president 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.800 in the United States and the vice president vice friend 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.240 is the next in line, so it's the same same concept, 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.439 it's just a different term. Yes, Charles still in good 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.040 standing as apparent, though he is still listed when I 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:48.880 was in the official websites for the crown, he's still 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.240 listed as the heir apparent, so I have to presume 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:57.360 that it hasn't passed on to his son then, and 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.600 then it's the William's son, correct, Yeah, And then yes, 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.920 and then their daughter who they just recently had, So 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:08.360 it's it's Charles and then William and then his son 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:12.240 and then the daughter, so that now we're one to three, 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:18.720 four levels deep. And then it's Prince Harry. Yes, yeah. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.480 Did you absolutely have a thing about Prince Harry, because 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.600 every time I mentioned him in my notes, I found 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:29.600 in parentheses so dreamy written next to it. I wrote 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:34.080 that he's dreaming. I'm sorry, I'll try very hard not 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.480 to belabor that point. But was it Harry or was 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.000 it Philip? I thought it was Harry that served in Afghanistan. 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:46.560 Wasn't that Harry? Recently. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.760 believe it is. Yes, But but let's let's get back 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.840 to Charles, because we're way off course. We got so dreamy. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.920 We got to get back into this. That's okay, Like 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.200 I said, like I was saying, no apparent, Yeah, he 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:04.120 has been the heir apparent since nineteen fifty two, so 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.480 since he was four years old when his mother because 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.320 at that time his mother took the crowd and we'll 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.240 talk about that in a minute. Being air apparent of 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.880 course put him in the spotlight his entire life. He's always, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.040 you know, everybody's taking his photo and talking about Charles. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.440 One thing that the royal family really wanted was for 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.560 Charles to settle down and Mary, and I've read that 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.000 he made a conscious decision. He said he didn't want 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.560 to get married until he was in his thirties. I 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.600 didn't come across that particular, but that doesn't that doesn't 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.080 surprise me. Yeah, I gather his family was not super 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.560 excited about that. Well. No, I was reading something that 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.360 from the age of twenty one or twenty two he 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:51.160 was getting suggestions of possible wives and saying, go court 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.080 this woman and try and get her hand. In marriage, 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.920 so this was a very big pressure for him. Then 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.120 at the same time, he was probably thinking that I'm 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.040 rich and it's like the sixties seventies, and I'm getting 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.680 lots of you know what, well, because I I don't 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.400 even think it's that. It's just I'm a young man 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.840 and I'd like to enjoy myself before I settled down, 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.160 and he has the means to do that, which is 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.200 totally understandable. Of course. Like I said before, he had 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.840 a string of girlfriends, and we briefly talked about earlier, 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.920 was that one of those women was a woman named 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:29.600 Camilla Shand who eventually would become known as Camilla Parker Bowls. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:34.120 She is regarded as the love of his life. He 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.200 was head over heels for her. He wanted to marry 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.920 her from stuff that I've read, but he never worked 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:46.880 up to nerve in time to propose, and by the 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.600 time he did, I think he he went on a 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.400 voyage somewhere and he decided he was going to do it, 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.160 and by the time he got back, she had already 0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:01.160 been proposed to by another man. He proposed at that 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.159 point she said no, I'm I'm marrying him, and Charles 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.800 lost out and that was that was the end of 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:12.320 it for him at that point. Settling isn't the right word, 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:17.399 but he seems to have settled upon Diana as what 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.440 the family said would be a good match based on 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.960 what everybody was telling him. She was a good looking girl, 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.600 and she was young, she was good with children, She 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.320 wasn't particularly you know, she was humanitarian, but not particularly ambitious. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.880 You know, she came from a good family. Yeah, I'm 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.320 not sure she was very smart though she I don't 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.600 think she was. I think she was an exceptionally kind woman, 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.720 but I don't think that she she was going to 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:49.800 write great volumes of you know, groundbreaking works. But I 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.960 mean that that doesn't necessarily mean anything. But the thing is, 0:17:54.960 --> 0:18:00.080 Charles never got over Camilla, and he is reported to 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.920 have on the night before his marriage, his marriage to Diana, 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.440 he got cold feet and he said, I can't do it, 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:13.920 and he got pushed, and he obviously eventually went forward 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.520 with it and he did get married. What was the 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:20.640 quote he was wailing, I can't go through with it. Yes, 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.040 the night before, Yeah, and I could just see the 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:34.879 queen just like smacking him upside the head, or she 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.000 was hitting with the glove. The Quarries are parking at him, 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.800 like three or four, Cory's attacking him. Well regardless, I 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.280 think we've hit on this once already. But it's pretty 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.760 obvious to this point that it's basically a loveless marriage 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.520 and that would be the kind of the fuel for 0:18:53.720 --> 0:19:00.040 what drove their divorce. Well, well, yeah, amongst other not 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:05.280 so great behaviors on his part, but yeah, part at all. Yeah, No, 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.920 I'm I'm not pointing a finger at Charles. They both 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.679 agreed to this marriage. They both went in it, probably 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.639 with reservations in my mind, so I'm not going to 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.440 say one is more guilty for its failure than the other. 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:21.600 Charles was always painted it's a bad guy by the tabloids. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.720 But you know, the tabloids are mostly read by women, 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.200 so it's inevitable that you know, no, no, no, no, no, no, 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.720 it's a guy. Charles got caught first play in the field, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:33.399 and we're going to talk about that something later. But 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:37.960 eventually Diana got caught too, so it was only it 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.040 was he got caught with his hand in the cookie 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.880 jart first. That's why he's the bad guy. But we're 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:45.840 going to move away from Charles for a minute. Yeah, 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.639 let's move away from Charles personal prominently. I don't think 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:50.359 we need to talk about him again. Well we do. 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.879 The next person we're going to talk about is the Queen, 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:59.560 Queen Elizabeth the second Yep. I think everybody kind of 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:03.440 has a good mental picture of the Queens, this kindly, 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:09.080 grandmotherly lady who, as we said before, loves gloves and corgis, 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:13.720 and she rules over one of the largest countries in 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:19.480 Europe when you take into account all of its overseas territory. 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:25.680 Large it's insane. There's places on this list. I didn't 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:31.399 realize that we're still technically part of Britain, Like, what 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:34.399 is it. We've got the British Virgin Islands, Okay, that 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:40.280 makes sense, Bermuda, uh Cypress, the Cayman Islands, Gibraltar. I 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:44.000 didn't realize all those places were still technically under the 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:50.120 British flag, whether they're semi or fully independent or not. Yeah, 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:55.040 it's a huge list, so yes it is. There is 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:59.240 a huge chunk of territory that they own. But let's 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.479 let's go back to to Elizabeth. She took the throne, 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.440 as I talked about just a second ago in nineteen 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:10.000 fifty two when her father, King George the sixth, passed away. 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.440 If anybody wants to know about King George the six 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.760 just watched the movie The King's Speech really not really, 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:20.960 not the best documentary. It's not a documentary, but it's 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.400 got a lot of great foul language in British. It's 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.439 got a lot of good it is. I never bothered 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:31.040 watching it. The soundtrack was phenomenal. Yes, yeah, Well, George 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:35.080 the six passed away, his daughter took the throne officially. 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:38.240 It was a year I think it was a year 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:43.119 later she officially ascended to the throne. I can't remember 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:48.320 what the wranglings were that delated a background check. I think, well, 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.840 she she did take the throne, and she is as 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:57.560 of today, she is the longest lived monarch in Britain, 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:02.639 and if she lives past the ninth of September of 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:08.960 this year, she will become the longest ruling monarch in 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:15.160 British history. In history, in history. This lady. She's old. 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.200 She's been around a while, and medical science has improved 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.560 a bit since the other kings were around. She doesn't 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.240 seem to be showing any signs of giving up anytime 0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:26.600 soon either. Well, and just here's here's a little bit. 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.200 So you're thinking, well, how old is she. She's born 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:36.560 in that's a long time ago. She she's eighty nine 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.639 years old. Actually by the by today's standards, that's not 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:43.320 really that old. But as a ruling monarch, that's that's 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.440 the thing. But as you said, medical science has changed. 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.760 So back in the day, was you ate a bad 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.000 piece of fish and you died. You went to battle 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:54.600 and it was a badly, poorly played battle. But she's 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.280 never gone to battle. Queen's didn't usually go to battle 0:22:57.320 --> 0:23:01.240 that much. But anyways, look, yeah, which she's actually lived through. 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:05.960 She lived through two World Wars and countless conflicts that 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:09.040 her country has been in. So I mean, that's that's amazing. 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.680 One World War. She was alive for two World Wars. No, 0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:16.320 she wasn't. She was born in twenty six. You're right, 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:19.800 because it was nineteen nineteen. Wow. I almost completely blew that. 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.160 My grandma's ninety seven. So it's fine, you're just thinking 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:28.240 of her, that's your rights. Yeah, because your grandmother loves Corgis. 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:32.439 That's how I got it mixed up. It's easy to do. Okay, Well, Elizabeth, 0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.840 like I said, born in ninety six. She married in 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:40.399 nineteen forty seven Prince Philip, and besides Prince Charles, she 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.080 had three other children, who are Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.320 and Prince Edward. I'm gonna talk a little bit about Queen, 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:48.720 but I don't know exactly how to put this. I've 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:52.600 heard different accounts. Either she as sharp as attack and 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:56.000 she has her finger in every pie and major dealing 0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:59.680 that is going on, and she knows what's happening, or 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:04.119 she is very disconnected and she is a complete and 0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:07.680 utter figurehead at this point. I don't know which is true, 0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.920 but there's there's always accounts both ways. But you know, 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.480 the woman's been in you know, she's had the crow 0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.480 the throne for so long. There's so much stuff, And 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:18.720 I will say the same thing for her as I 0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:22.800 will for Prince Philip. We're about to talk about. It's like, well, yeah, 0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:25.560 there's so many things that you can just dig up. Well, 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.000 she didn't pay attention to this, and she was deeply 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.359 involved in that. So I don't know what's true and 0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:35.040 what's not. Probably not the mystery we're tackling her, Thank God. No, 0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:39.359 we're talking about murder, not the Queen murder. Ye all right, 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:43.880 well speaking murder, No, not really. Let's talk about Prince Philip, 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:47.479 whose official title is Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Philip, did 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:51.120 we say it right? Sorry, I'm sorry, I hope we did. 0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:55.960 Prince Philip was born in n and just like the Queen, 0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:59.919 he's got a longest lived title. He is the longest 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:04.000 lives spouse of a British monarch, and he is also 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:08.679 the oldest living member of the royal family because he's 0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:18.000 ninety two. Yeah, okay, I was like, that doesn't make sense. No, 0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:20.680 he's ninety four years old at this point. He's a 0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:23.920 little bit different because from the rest of the House 0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.600 of Windsor, which is what Charles and Elizabeth are there 0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:31.920 officially the House of Windsor. He married into the family, 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:38.359 so he is from the Royal House of Glucksbourg, which 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:42.720 is it's a house that has branches in Norway, Greece 0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:46.680 and Denmark, so it's not anchored so much in the 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.800 way I can understand it directly in Britain. It's more 0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:53.159 of those outlying territories. Yeah. I've never really quite kind 0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:56.600 of understood exactly how it is. The royalty in Europe 0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:58.600 could like trade places. You know, it's like, oh, we 0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:00.880 needed the king, so we're gonna import came from Germany 0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:06.240 because and that's that's it. I I don't I'm not 0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:10.119 even gonna try to explain it because I can't wrap 0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:14.200 my hands around it. But the thing is, he was 0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:18.000 born born royal team. He was born in Greece, which 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.040 at that time was in the process of a revolution, 0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.800 and his father was a you know, a royal there. 0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.159 His family was forced to leave Greece when he was 0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.639 a year old. So there's the stories of him as 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.480 a baby in a bread basket being put on a 0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:39.040 ship with everybody else. Of course there is is that 0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:42.840 not great pr or what? Yeah? And of course somebody 0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:50.320 swapped baskets, don't they replaced him with a vampire? Oh no, 0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:55.280 that's no. Uh. So let's go ahead and talk about 0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:59.399 the courtship between Philip and Elizabeth. When he was courting 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.320 Eliza with he I don't know if he had to 0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:06.399 or if he voluntarily did this, but he gave up 0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:11.399 his royal titles in both Denmark and Greece, and he 0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:15.960 became a naturalized British citizen, which makes sense because if 0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:17.920 you're going to marry a woman who's gonna be the queen, 0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:22.520 you should be a naturalized citizen of that country. Um. Yeah, 0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:24.960 I don't want that conflict of interest either. And I 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:26.879 know I just kind of said this a little bit 0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:30.680 about Elizabeth, but I've seen the same things about Philip 0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:36.240 is that he is, while kind of a cranky old sod, 0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:39.760 he's really just a benevolent guy and he's an old 0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:46.040 man and everything's fine with him too. He is a conniving, manipulative, 0:27:46.440 --> 0:27:49.320 mean guy who will do whatever he wants, and the 0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:52.800 same thing they've been off or they've been on the crown, 0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:56.440 on the throne for so long, I can see either way, 0:27:56.560 --> 0:28:00.400 because they're just gonna be so many interactions. You thinking 0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:03.200 that maybe he's conniving him mean enough to order the 0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:07.040 murder of a princess. I don't. You don't know that 0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:09.320 that that doesn't make sense to me. But we're gonna 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:13.280 get that later. We're going to totally get there. Let's 0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:16.240 move forward, though, to the next set of players that 0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:17.960 I'm going to talk about, because I know we're gonna 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:19.600 break up some of this so that we don't have 0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:22.040 to hear me drowning on this because I'm already getting 0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:24.680 bored hearing like, why don't you talking about the coreges 0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:28.560 the last one, the last two players that we're going 0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.280 to talk about, who really they're not direct players, but 0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:37.440 they're Diana's children. So there's Prince William, whose official title 0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:41.720 is Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. He was born in 0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:46.160 nineteen eighty two. And then there is Prince Henry of 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:49.080 Wales and he was born in night. So there's two 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:53.480 about two years. There's about two year and a half, 0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:59.080 two years between the boys. Daniel Devon um um. But 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:01.920 I mean, well, probably as we talked about, they know 0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:05.080 William because he had a son two years ago and 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:06.800 or three years ago, and then they just had the 0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.680 new daughter just as the time that we're recording this, 0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:12.360 that happened like a week and a half ago to 0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:17.320 be super super recent. I don't really pay attention to 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:22.080 the British royal family at all. When Diana died, the 0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:28.240 boys were respectively fifteen and twelve, So williams fifteen, Henry 0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:31.720 was twelve. I know they walked in the royal procession 0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:37.880 with the coffin, and they don't play any direct role 0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:41.240 in our story. They're more what I think we would 0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:45.960 refer to sometimes is kind of collateral damage because they're 0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:47.920 the ones who have to pay the price for everything 0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:53.080 that happened, whether regardless of what happened. Yeah. Um, there's 0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:55.440 a very cute little quote, not that it pertains to 0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:57.200 a story so much. I think I know where you're going. 0:29:57.320 --> 0:30:02.040 The little story of when Diane Anna and Charles got divorced. 0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:04.400 She was stripped of her what's called the style, which 0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:09.880 is the her most royal highness. Right, she's still Diana, 0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:13.640 Princess of Wales, and Lady Diana would still be there. Yeah, 0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.600 but she's no longer her most royal Highness or her 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.480 royal Highness. I could live with that. And so she 0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:23.360 was stripped of that, and William, trying to comfort his mom, 0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:26.320 kind of comes over and you know, pats around the 0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:29.360 shoulder and says, don't worry Mom, when I'm king, I'll 0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.760 give it back to you. So cute. Oh Mummy, I'm sorry, 0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:34.720 it's cute. I just think it's cute. Yeah, no, no, 0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:39.000 it's it's a it's an absolute, totally a thing that 0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:43.840 an adolescent, pre adolescent boy would say to comfort a parrot. 0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:46.120 I also think it speaks volumes of you know, kind 0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.920 of it's this is their tragedy, and we don't want 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:52.080 to belittle that. No, absolutely not. And I think that's 0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:54.480 something to point out here, is that we're going to 0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:58.320 go into a lot about the family and a lot 0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:02.680 about different people, and I don't I don't want anybody 0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:05.160 to lose sight of the fact that we understand that 0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:10.360 three people died and that's a tragedy. These boys lost 0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:13.480 their mother and that's a tragedy. So we're we're not 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:17.680 going to dismiss that. But we've got to talk about 0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:19.840 We've got to get into some of these things because 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:22.720 that's just that's the nature of the beast, Like we 0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:24.840 have to dig down and find a little justice for day, 0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:28.000 you know, yeah, yeah, somebody got away with murder. I think, 0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:31.160 all right, we're going to wrap up the players here. 0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:34.600 We've got two more people to talk about. There they 0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:37.880 are the five heads. Dot Id was the younger the two. 0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:40.640 He was a son of Mohammad Alfad dot I Fad 0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:42.960 was born in nineteen in the Egypt. It was the 0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.080 son of a billionaire named Mohammed al Fayed. He went 0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.200 to fancy schools in Europe. After school, he served as 0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:52.840 an attache at the U a embassy in London, being 0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:55.840 United Arab Emirates. He worked as a film producer for 0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:58.520 a while. I assume bank rolling films with dad's money. 0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:01.600 But something you've actually heard of some of these films 0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:05.640 Chariots of Fire f x f X two hook was 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:09.600 scarlet letter hook. The scarlett wasn't a scarlet letter the 0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:12.200 one with any more. Oh, I don't know. I never 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:17.120 saw that, never saw either the cliff notes of that book. 0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:19.920 Why would I watch the movie? Actually, that's one of 0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:21.760 the books that I actually managed to make it through 0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:26.560 topic here the He also worked for Herod's in London. 0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:29.920 You guys have heard of Harrods and The Times. Yeah, 0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:33.040 it's pretty huge. By the way, his dad bought Herod's. 0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:36.440 So yeah, being a rich guy enabled dad to do 0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:38.920 really cool stuff like hanging out on a two point 0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:42.520 goat in the Mediterranean. The Princess of Wales. Yeah, yeah, 0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:46.960 how cool would that be? Yeah? Doughty actually met Prince 0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:50.320 Charles and Princess diet way back in a polo tournament. 0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:54.680 After checking that divorced in ninety six, I started dating 0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:58.560 around and eventually started dating Doughty, which I think I 0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:01.920 think it was about July n seven. They were only 0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:04.600 dating for I think like forty seven days long at all, 0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:08.840 not long. Yeah, and of course um Doughty died that 0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:15.080 night with Diana. Yeah. His dad, Mohammed Alfa had was 0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:20.680 born in Egypt uh and married Samira Kashogi, who was 0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:23.080 a sister of Odd Nakashoki. You guys are probably heard 0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:26.880 about his big major Saudi arms dealer. Yeah, and that 0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:29.239 that guy I did a lot of other stuff too. 0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:33.920 But yeah, so so Dodi was the nephew of Odd Nakashoki. 0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:38.120 I guess interesting, huh. But yeah, but they were only 0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.600 together two years. They only had one child. Later on, 0:33:40.720 --> 0:33:44.760 Alfa Mohammed remarried and had four other kids, but that 0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:48.280 was the only child by this woman. Uh Alfa had 0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:51.720 founded a shipping company in Egypt, moved to Genoa, Italy. 0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:55.200 In the sixties, he moved to London, fell in with 0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:57.920 the Amir of Dubai and luckily big for him, big 0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:01.520 things were happening in Dubai that he got in right. Yeah, 0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:04.920 when Dubai found oil, that region found oil and so 0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:09.759 suddenly started booming. Yeah, Dubai actually doesn't have a huge 0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:11.279 amount of oil, it sol, but they're kind of like 0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:14.000 the Hong Kong of the Middle East, and so that 0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:16.279 there's a lot of shipping through the everything comes through 0:34:16.280 --> 0:34:19.279 a lot of financial transactions there. Yeah, I knew there 0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:22.120 was something like yeah. Yeah, so it's they're extremely wealthy. 0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:27.839 Lots of imported camels too, yeah, true, he's laughing. Yeah, 0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:31.719 they import their camels, yeah, really laughing, Yeah, they do. 0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:35.960 So he was involved with all kinds of different business dealings. 0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:38.120 He was worth well well in access of a billion 0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:42.640 dollars and when when when that meant something crazy and 0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:46.319 still now, but when that was insane? Yeah exactly. There 0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:50.959 weren't that many billionaires back and back in the way. Yeah. Yeah. 0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.160 By the way, he also bought the Ritz Hotel in 0:34:54.280 --> 0:34:57.040 Paris in seventy nine, which is kind of where a 0:34:57.160 --> 0:35:01.480 story begins, it does a little bit. Yeah, the Ritz Hotel, 0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:06.719 not not in nineteen seventy nine. Yeah, that's an odd 0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:09.880 bit of wayback machine. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, at the 0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:13.680 Ritz Hotel and all originated their Doughtie and Diana were 0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:20.080 there on actually on Saturday August, So I guess a 0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:26.759 few years after bought the hotel, Princess Diana arrived in 0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:29.640 Paris with her then boyfriend, as we mentioned, Doughty fay 0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:33.840 Ed via private jet. As we mentioned Alpha Ed Mohammed 0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:37.640 Mohammed Alpha Ed, which is Doughtie's father, owns the Ritz 0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:42.959 Hotel and Diana and Dodie planned to spend the night there. 0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:46.400 They had spent the nine proceding days and nights together 0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:49.479 as well. Um, kind of just bumming around. I believe 0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:54.000 they were on a ship right there, on a freaking yacht, 0:35:56.400 --> 0:36:00.320 super yacht. Yeah, kind of kind of the head of 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:04.359 security on RE Paul, right, We've seen it both ways. 0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:06.600 It's French, so I think it's on RE, but a 0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:10.400 lot of people say it's Henry. Um, we'll probably just 0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:17.040 call him Paul, Mr Paul. Yeah. He had been instructed 0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:21.560 to drive Doughty and Diana in a rented black Mercedes 0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:24.319 Benz from the hotel to an apartment that Offayette also 0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:28.080 owned in town, since the paparazzi were becoming kind of 0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:32.239 a huge issue and the couple wanted some privacy, which 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.480 I think is totally understandable. I guess we kind of 0:36:34.560 --> 0:36:37.720 just I just kind of ran with this. I'm ready. 0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:40.560 I've had an energy drink. I'm sorry everybody, I'm ready 0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:45.160 for it. Uh, we're talking about the crash, the overview 0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:48.040 of the crash, and the night, the night that Doughty, 0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:53.920 Diana and uh Mr Paul on Re died. We're not 0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:58.640 talking about players anymore. We're in the story. Yes, yeah, sorry, 0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:03.799 I'm just excited about this. I'm so sorry. Finally, after 0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:07.360 months of research, tell our story for real. Though, a 0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:11.040 decoy car left the hotel just prior to the real car, 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:15.080 which was meant to distract most of the paparazzi. It's 0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:16.920 I think it did. Actually, there were quite a few 0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:20.400 of many of them, many most of them, most of 0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:24.040 them at t am so. I guess it's August thirty 0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:27.960 one now. Dodi and Diana departed by the rental car 0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:31.600 driven by Ri, who many report had been drinking that 0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:34.880 night but may and may have been taking some prescription 0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:38.280 pills that would have impaired his ability to react quickly, 0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:41.000 like you know, you'd want your driver to be able 0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:45.080 to do. And we will talk about that is really 0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:48.920 deep and in fairness to Tonri that he actually got 0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:50.759 maybe you're gonna talk about this, but he actually got 0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:53.799 off duty at seven pm. Yeah, and then and then 0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:56.560 was basically called back by Doughty who existed that he 0:37:56.680 --> 0:37:59.719 be the driver. Yeah. Yeah, so it's not as though, Yeah, 0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:01.480 I don't know that we were gonna we were the 0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:04.480 timeline had been brought up at any point for later on. 0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:06.360 But yeah, it said there's a three three and a 0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:10.560 half hour gap between him getting off shift and suddenly 0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:13.640 being back at work. Yea, yeah, yeah, so it's reasonable 0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:15.520 that he could have had a drink or two as 0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:19.520 he would want after work. Probably sure. A member of 0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:23.960 the Fayed family security team named Trevor Rhys Jones was 0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:27.280 also in the car. He was actually uh, he actually 0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:31.040 survived the crash. Yes, he was in the front with 0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:34.719 reading and then Diana and Dodi were in the back. Yeah, 0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:37.520 but I have conflict conflicting reports about whether or not 0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:41.480 he was wearing a seatbelt. I have to Yeah, but 0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:44.200 his airbag did go off, So his airbag did go off, 0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:46.440 And again he may or may not have been having 0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:49.400 wearing a seatbelt. It's unclear nobody else in the in 0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:52.080 the car was wearing a seatbelt. So he was in 0:38:52.120 --> 0:38:56.200 the front passenger seat on Ria was driving, and Diana 0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:59.440 and Dodi were in the back seats. Despite the decoy car, 0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:08.960 many paparazzi paparazzo. Paparazzi's. Yes, paparazzi were still managed to 0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:11.520 realize that this was the real car, and we're following 0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:14.920 this car. Reports vary, but it's possible that Diana was not, 0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:18.680 in fact actually sitting in the seat like you would 0:39:18.680 --> 0:39:21.759 actually sit in a car seat. Some reports say that 0:39:21.880 --> 0:39:25.600 she was actually like kneeling backwards in the seat, so 0:39:25.719 --> 0:39:30.279 her her knees and legs and shins would have been 0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:35.600 on the floor of the back passenger, so her feet 0:39:35.640 --> 0:39:39.680 were underneath under the underneath the front seat, and that 0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.759 she was like leaning over the seat where you would 0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:46.840 usually put your bottom right. Is that a good description 0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:50.719 of that? And and that was because of the paparazzi. 0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:53.800 She was trying to not be photographed. And I guess 0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:55.520 you would kind of feel, you know, you kind of 0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:57.760 get wedged in there, that would feel kind of safe. 0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:01.279 I don't I don't think it was a good decision. Well, no, no, no, 0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:04.600 I've seen I've seen people do that where they crawl 0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:09.360 into the floorboard of a car to avoid photographers, and 0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:13.000 it never fails. Somebody takes a picture of him peeking 0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:16.399 up out of the floor well, looking like a ding 0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:19.640 dong with that deer in the headlights look and it's like, I, men, 0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:22.440 just sit in your seat and hold your jacket up 0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:26.680 so they can't see you and be comfortable. Yeah, but 0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:29.680 but it was also a long ways to be sitting 0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:33.040 in that position. Yeah, it was. It was a while. 0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:40.200 So Henri was driving pretty fast. We'll talk about this minute. Yeah, 0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:42.120 we don't know exactly how, we don't know how fast, 0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:49.000 but definitely faster than the suggested what thirty five a 0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:51.839 lot faster than that, definitely at least twice as fast, 0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:57.040 probably more. And right before he entered an underpass, or 0:40:57.160 --> 0:41:00.040 right as he entered an underpassed he lost control of 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:03.280 the car. And we'll talk about why in a minute. Yeah, somebody, 0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:06.440 uh is coming actually out of the underpass? Did you 0:41:06.520 --> 0:41:08.840 go in the other direction? And at the in the 0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:11.360 inquest actually reported that he was speeding in at a 0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:15.319 high speed and he appeared to be veering to his left. Yeah, 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:19.000 unknown reasons. Yeah, so we don't know. There's a lot 0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:21.200 about this that we don't know. So I'm just gonna 0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:26.520 kind of go, yeah, this is fact that no happen. 0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:29.399 We know he lost control of the car. Yes, for why, 0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:32.120 we don't know, but we know he lost lost control 0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:35.640 of the car. He swerved kind of into the oncoming lanes, 0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:37.840 like to his left. He didn't make it into the 0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:41.000 oncoming lanes, but he swerved towards the oncoming lanes and 0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:44.440 hit one of the support beams of the underpass. It 0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:50.080 was support beam. Yeah, and let's let's kind of give 0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.680 everybody a bit of a description here. This is almost 0:41:52.760 --> 0:41:56.560 like an underpassed tunnel. It is. Yeah, it's not. You know, 0:41:57.000 --> 0:41:59.879 we all we have underpasses that we all drive through 0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.960 the time. And there's maybe one or two pillars. There 0:42:03.040 --> 0:42:07.280 were I think on the order of thirty plus maybe 0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:10.960 forty pillars that was under a large, large road, and 0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:14.960 they were they were like every ten or fifteen they were. 0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:18.560 It was a very long distance, that's the thing. And 0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:22.240 they were very closely space essentially on the otter walls. 0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:24.799 It's kind of like smooth tiled walls stone. And then 0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:28.879 the part the separates of the northbound and southbound lanes 0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:31.560 or eastbound and westbound lanes. I guess is all these 0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:35.200 columns is that the tragic thing about this is that 0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:39.000 these deaths would have been very easily preventable if the 0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:41.839 City of Paris would just put a guardrail on either 0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:46.719 side of This particular tunnel is the only tunnel that 0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:52.800 doesn't have them. Every other tunnel does. It still doesn't. 0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:55.000 And apparently a lot of people have died in that tunnel, 0:42:55.440 --> 0:43:00.719 not just Princess die. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, wow, he so 0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:03.840 easily distracted. Yeah, I mean, we got so much material 0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:07.680 to go over. The car hit one of the support means. 0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:10.000 It was the thirteenth support meme, as I said, and 0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:13.600 it caused the car to spin like kind of backward 0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:16.200 kind of you know, it ran into it and then 0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:20.200 the momentum of the back kind of kept going sun out, 0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:23.600 so the car is now facing backwards that it kept 0:43:23.680 --> 0:43:27.920 going and came to crash on the left side of 0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:33.359 the car up against the wall of the underpass tunnel rightly. 0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:36.919 It was the driver's side. So Diane Company not only 0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:40.640 had this this big impact on the front that was deadly, 0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:42.680 but then they got long around on the inside and 0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:47.160 then they're getting heads beaten against you know. And just 0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:49.680 to try to visualize this a little bit for folks 0:43:49.719 --> 0:43:52.440 to put into words and maybe help because it was confusing. 0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:56.600 Every description I read made it confusing. Is if you're 0:43:56.719 --> 0:44:00.399 in the States. You're driving on the right hand side 0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:02.120 of the road and you have a left hand lane 0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:04.800 next to you, and those are both the same direction 0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:08.080 of travel. Car on the left hand lane hits something 0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:12.080 and it does a one eighty. So this is to me, 0:44:12.200 --> 0:44:14.400 it's a very simple way to describe it. Mean, you 0:44:14.680 --> 0:44:17.560 hit the car on the left hand lane, hit something 0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:22.279 head on, does a hundred eighty degree spin, and then 0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:25.920 continues to skid backwards so that it is now facing 0:44:26.560 --> 0:44:29.480 was originally traffic moving in the same direction is now 0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:32.600 oncoming traffic. The impression I had actually was that it 0:44:32.719 --> 0:44:37.160 attempted to do a three sixty but right. And that's 0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:39.400 why I'm calling it a one eight, because it's spun 0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:42.520 because of that impact. It bounced from what was the 0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:45.480 left lane, the left edge of the left lane, to 0:44:45.600 --> 0:44:48.040 the right edge of the right lane, and it's now 0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:50.920 facing the opposite Yes, and now it's facing the direction 0:44:51.000 --> 0:44:54.799 it came from. Honestly, just look up pictures. Yeah. One 0:44:54.840 --> 0:44:57.399 reason to spun is that it didn't hit dead on step. 0:44:57.480 --> 0:45:01.319 No hit on the driver's side. And that's the only 0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:03.880 reason the guy you survive survived is if that thing 0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:06.960 it hits square on. Yeah, there would have been no 0:45:07.360 --> 0:45:10.120 survivors for any amount of time. Well, there would have 0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:11.640 been if they had all been wearing their seat pills. 0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:15.680 Based on the situation, none of them would now. Yeah, 0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:18.719 but again I've I've drawn a soft track. I apologize. 0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:23.080 So the photographers paparazzi that had been following the car, 0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:25.640 they were a bit behind because they weren't driving as 0:45:25.719 --> 0:45:28.880 fast as on recause they couldn't. Because they couldn't they 0:45:28.920 --> 0:45:31.120 were they were, they were pretty much all on motorcycles, 0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:35.160 I think. Yeah. But when they arrived, many of them 0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:38.960 ran to the crash to help victims, some who are 0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:43.920 truly just human garbage checks did not and decided that 0:45:44.040 --> 0:45:46.600 they would just take some pictures of the accident in 0:45:47.239 --> 0:45:48.880 defense of those guys. So, I mean, there's only so 0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:50.640 many people who can reach in there and take people's 0:45:50.680 --> 0:45:53.080 poulses and stuff like that, so you might as well 0:45:53.160 --> 0:45:55.719 be taking pictures. I guess. I don't think that's I 0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:58.320 think that you know, that was one of the reasons 0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:00.279 that this was such a huge scandal, as because there 0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:04.839 was such a huge capitalization on a giant tragedy. If 0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:07.400 you're the first person on a scene like this, The 0:46:07.560 --> 0:46:09.600 fact that you're like, well, I can't help, so I 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.400 may as well make a whole buttload of money. Just 0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:14.600 makes me think that you are one of the worst 0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:18.000 kind of human beings. Yeah, anyways, but some of them 0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:20.920 actually did administer first aid. Yeah, some of them did 0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:24.399 try to help. Try. Both men on the left side 0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:26.920 of the car, which was driver on re Paul and 0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:30.960 then the real ps rear passenger Doughty fa Ed were 0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.680 dead I think pretty much on impact on the impact 0:46:33.719 --> 0:46:37.480 with the poll. Yeah, there's a whole list of their injuries, 0:46:37.600 --> 0:46:40.719 but it's safe to say they were they were super dead. 0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:46.080 Responders apparently first responders. Medical responders did apparently try to 0:46:46.360 --> 0:46:49.120 resuscitate Doughty, but I think that that was probably more 0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:52.000 for Diana's sake than anything else. Why why do you 0:46:52.080 --> 0:46:55.120 say that? Because I know Diana didn't die right away, 0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:57.480 but why was it her? Well? So, okay, so one 0:46:57.520 --> 0:47:00.520 of the reasons that you would administer CPR, By and large, 0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:01.719 I don't know if people know this or not, but 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:04.560 by and large, CPR does not successfully resuss tate people. 0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:07.680 Sometimes it happens, very but very rarely does it actually 0:47:07.719 --> 0:47:10.640 happen Nine times out of ten, if a first responder 0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:13.680 is performing that. It's to calm the people who are 0:47:13.760 --> 0:47:17.280 bystanders or loved ones. So if you have a woman 0:47:17.440 --> 0:47:20.360 who is ostensibly in love with a guy, whether or 0:47:20.400 --> 0:47:23.600 not that's true, right cares about this person is probably 0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:27.480 in shock, massive shock, probably has huge injuries. The last 0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:30.720 thing you want her doing is also freaking the crap 0:47:30.800 --> 0:47:35.160 out that why are you not helping? Yes, so I 0:47:35.239 --> 0:47:37.920 see where you're heading. That's my opinion. That's not something 0:47:38.040 --> 0:47:41.000 that you know, people say around, but in my opinion, 0:47:41.440 --> 0:47:43.480 that would be they would be more trying to do 0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:46.719 that just to kind of calm her down a little bit, 0:47:46.880 --> 0:47:48.839 like you no, No, that makes sense. And I've read 0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:55.120 the research on how ineffective cprs in most situations because 0:47:55.520 --> 0:47:59.719 cprs for getting the respiratory process going and getting the 0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:03.279 the pulmonary process going. But most things that people fall 0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:07.239 down dead from are not that. So that doesn't that 0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:11.239 doesn't stimulate anything because those aren't the causes. Well, it 0:48:11.280 --> 0:48:14.080 doesn't restart. It does help circulate until you can restart. 0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:19.319 I got it. Anyways, as Diana, Diana, as I said, 0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:21.879 was reported to have been kneeling in the back seat, 0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:25.320 and reports do differ either she was still in that 0:48:25.480 --> 0:48:28.360 position with her you know, back to the road, or 0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:30.759 sitting in the back seat with her head rested on 0:48:30.880 --> 0:48:34.040 the back of the front passenger seat. So depending on 0:48:34.160 --> 0:48:37.880 what position she had been in the crash, most reports 0:48:37.920 --> 0:48:41.440 are that Diana had no serious outward injuries, which has 0:48:41.520 --> 0:48:44.720 been a big reason for a lot of conspiracy theories, 0:48:45.280 --> 0:48:48.520 especially the more sinister ones. She was conscious, she was 0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:51.040 rumored to have been murmuring, oh my God, and leave 0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:54.120 me alone. One photographer who was trying to help said 0:48:54.160 --> 0:48:56.640 that she was sitting on the seat with her head 0:48:56.680 --> 0:48:59.920 rested on the front of the seat, with blood coming 0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:02.560 out of her nose and ears, and that her feet 0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:04.680 were stuck. That he had tried to help her out 0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:08.239 of the car and under the Yeah, he said that 0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:09.960 he told her that help was on the way, and 0:49:10.080 --> 0:49:13.200 she just blinked and didn't say anything. And as a 0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:16.720 side note, there are photos of her after the accident, 0:49:17.400 --> 0:49:19.759 sitting in a car. Those guys, some of those guys 0:49:19.840 --> 0:49:23.080 did take pictures there. Well, there's there's a one very 0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:25.480 iconic photo of like people kind of standing around her 0:49:25.480 --> 0:49:29.839 and she's just sitting there, totally unaffected, totally fine. From 0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:32.120 a lot of stuff that I've read, and I'm inclined 0:49:32.160 --> 0:49:34.200 to believe it. That's actually a photo from earlier in 0:49:34.200 --> 0:49:38.760 the night when she was getting into the car thereund 0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:41.640 when they got in the car leaving the hotel. Yeah, 0:49:41.719 --> 0:49:43.480 and if you kind of look closely at that picture, 0:49:43.480 --> 0:49:46.600 it doesn't look like the car's trashed really, and I 0:49:46.880 --> 0:49:50.080 it's really it's a super zoom in. There are photos 0:49:50.360 --> 0:49:52.680 that are probably her of you can kind of just 0:49:52.719 --> 0:49:54.560 see the top of her head and like the car 0:49:54.719 --> 0:49:58.840 super trashed and that that I'm i'mclined to believe that 0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:01.440 that's her, But I don't think that one picture a 0:50:01.520 --> 0:50:03.200 lot of I've read a couple of things that said 0:50:03.239 --> 0:50:05.359 that's actually picture from early in the night, and I'm 0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:07.680 definitely inclined to believe it. I think you'd be able 0:50:07.680 --> 0:50:09.759 to tell because the car, I mean, if you've seen 0:50:09.840 --> 0:50:11.400 pictures of the car, and I'm sure you guys have, 0:50:13.000 --> 0:50:15.240 and then they cut the top off of the Jaws 0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:19.680 of Life to get people like that car was completely 0:50:19.960 --> 0:50:23.200 blitzed once they were done with it after the accident 0:50:23.320 --> 0:50:27.440 and after the recovery and the pictures that I that 0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:30.560 I do believe it's after the Jaws of Life you 0:50:30.640 --> 0:50:34.080 can see Diana's little blonde head sitting there in the 0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:39.360 seat a little blunted. I mean, that's why. But the 0:50:39.440 --> 0:50:43.680 one that is apparently that people say, you know, look, 0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:45.920 she's not injured at all. It's from earlier in the night. 0:50:46.040 --> 0:50:50.320 I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I totally I'm on board with that. Yeah, Trevor, 0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:56.760 Remember Trevor. He was conscious, but he sustained really serious 0:50:56.840 --> 0:51:01.879 facial injuries because the airbag had deployed. Again, no good 0:51:01.960 --> 0:51:03.800 reports on if he had a seat belt or not. 0:51:04.040 --> 0:51:06.120 I don't think he probably did. I've heard he was 0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:08.880 the only one who had I've heard that too, but 0:51:09.000 --> 0:51:10.959 I've also heard that he didn't have a seat belt. 0:51:11.760 --> 0:51:15.640 It's hard to tell. I think what is important to 0:51:15.719 --> 0:51:18.680 note is he hit his head really hard. And I 0:51:18.960 --> 0:51:20.960 kept asking the question. I actually asked you guys this 0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:25.680 question just right before we started recording. I was like, oh, yeah, 0:51:25.719 --> 0:51:27.600 there was a survivor. How come he can't tell us 0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:29.480 what happened? And it's like, oh, yeah, he hit his 0:51:29.560 --> 0:51:34.080 head really hard. He probably lost his memories from hours, days, 0:51:34.360 --> 0:51:37.600 weeks before. I have known people have been at serious 0:51:37.600 --> 0:51:40.120 accidents and they say they have no memory of it. Yeah, No, memory. 0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:42.719 I've been in car accidents where the airbag went off, 0:51:42.800 --> 0:51:45.920 and I remember the airbag going off, but that's it. 0:51:46.680 --> 0:51:50.239 Like I don't remember minutes prior or minutes after, because 0:51:50.320 --> 0:51:53.080 it's just such a wall up to the noggin. Yeah 0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:54.920 I was. I mean, I was in a car accident 0:51:55.000 --> 0:51:57.200 recently and I didn't even hit my head and you know, 0:51:57.320 --> 0:51:59.680 the like minute impact. I'm just like, I don't know 0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:05.320 what happened. I'm sorry. So let's talk about the timeline 0:52:05.360 --> 0:52:10.719 of emergency responders. Um, real question. It sets me up 0:52:10.719 --> 0:52:12.719 a little bit, some some red flags here for me. 0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:15.719 The first emergency officials to arrive on the scene were 0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:19.360 two police officers and they arrived around twelve thirty am. 0:52:19.680 --> 0:52:24.400 Two more officers arrived at twelve thirty two am. Doctor 0:52:24.719 --> 0:52:30.719 Jean Marc Martino, a specialist in anesthetics and intensive care 0:52:30.840 --> 0:52:33.759 treatment who was the doctor in charge of an ambulance, 0:52:34.360 --> 0:52:37.759 arrived around twelve forty am. The princess was removed from 0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:41.320 the car at one am. Jaws of life take a while. 0:52:41.840 --> 0:52:44.440 You want to safely remove from a car, make sure 0:52:44.480 --> 0:52:48.759 their next well, some people do, and if the car 0:52:48.840 --> 0:52:54.359 is on fire, do that. Otherwise, don't do that you'll get. 0:52:55.200 --> 0:52:59.840 She went into cardiac arrest and following external part cardio 0:53:00.000 --> 0:53:05.960 wulminary resuscitation so CPR, she was resuscitated. I guess she 0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:10.440 was moved to the ambulance at one eighteen am, and 0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:15.000 then the ambulance departed the crash scene at one one 0:53:15.280 --> 0:53:18.560 am and arrived at the hospital at two. The journey 0:53:18.760 --> 0:53:22.920 was it was about a thirty minute minute thirty minute 0:53:23.080 --> 0:53:26.959 long drive from the scene to the closest hospital, yeah 0:53:27.440 --> 0:53:30.160 or not, I'm sorry, not the closest hospital, we should clarify. 0:53:30.239 --> 0:53:32.400 There was a hospital that was closer, but it was 0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:37.160 a very small hospital, and the doctor in the ambulance decided, 0:53:37.640 --> 0:53:39.440 we're gonna have to move her. If we take her 0:53:39.480 --> 0:53:41.680 to this one, we may as well just take her 0:53:41.719 --> 0:53:43.840 straight to this other one that's way more equipped to 0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:46.200 deal with all the injuries she's dealing with and not 0:53:46.360 --> 0:53:48.279 have to, you know, get her kind of stable and 0:53:48.320 --> 0:53:50.360 then move her. Well. And one thing I want to 0:53:50.400 --> 0:53:53.040 address is a lot of people freak out about this timeline. 0:53:53.120 --> 0:53:55.120 Why did it take so long to get her into 0:53:55.160 --> 0:53:57.000 the ambulance, Why did it take so long for the 0:53:57.120 --> 0:54:00.200 ambulance to leave, and what they don't think about is 0:54:00.280 --> 0:54:04.040 the fact that she went into cardiac arrest and they 0:54:04.239 --> 0:54:08.200 needed to stabilize her. And a moving vehicle is a 0:54:08.480 --> 0:54:14.000 vibrating object with it stops and starts, which is going 0:54:14.120 --> 0:54:16.720 to have an impact on the health of somebody's whose 0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:20.480 heart rate is unstable already. So that's one of the 0:54:20.560 --> 0:54:23.040 reasons that they didn't just as you see in the 0:54:23.160 --> 0:54:26.759 TV shows flip the flash of lights and you know, 0:54:26.960 --> 0:54:29.719 gun on the gas pedal and rock it down the road. 0:54:29.800 --> 0:54:32.919 They couldn't do that. Yeah, that does make a little 0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:35.560 more difficult, it does. It is you know, that's it 0:54:35.760 --> 0:54:38.439 seems like a long time. I think, you know, half 0:54:38.480 --> 0:54:41.320 of me wants to say, that's a long twenty minutes 0:54:41.360 --> 0:54:43.480 in between all those things, that's a long time. The 0:54:43.560 --> 0:54:45.680 other part of me that's you know, first aid trained 0:54:45.719 --> 0:54:48.520 and things like that, wants to say, no, that's totally reasonable. 0:54:48.920 --> 0:54:51.600 So I, you know, I'm on the fence on that one. Yeah, no, 0:54:51.719 --> 0:54:54.720 I I totally I side with the doctors and medical 0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:59.200 professionals and this one because you don't just go bouncing 0:54:59.280 --> 0:55:03.279 people around just gone through all that. If these guys 0:55:03.520 --> 0:55:05.640 really wanted to like kill her by slow boating, the 0:55:05.719 --> 0:55:08.960 whole process of getting into the the hospital. You don't 0:55:08.960 --> 0:55:11.120 really need to do that. Get Russia to the hospitals, 0:55:11.200 --> 0:55:13.320 which which looks better, and then later on you smother 0:55:13.360 --> 0:55:16.800 her with a pillow. It's not yeah, or Russia to 0:55:16.840 --> 0:55:19.799 the hospital, knowing that that's going to make things worse, 0:55:20.000 --> 0:55:24.120 going to exacerbate the situation. So once she made it 0:55:24.200 --> 0:55:27.919 to the hospital, it was discovered that her injuries were 0:55:28.080 --> 0:55:32.080 just incredibly severe. Her heart had been displaced to the 0:55:32.239 --> 0:55:36.200 right side of her body, Yeah, which of course tore 0:55:36.320 --> 0:55:39.880 the pulmonary vein and also the heart of her wall. Surprise, surprise, 0:55:40.760 --> 0:55:43.520 the wall of her heart, not the heart of her wall, whichever, 0:55:43.840 --> 0:55:48.040 you know. Extensive attempts were made to resuscitate her, including 0:55:48.160 --> 0:55:51.920 internal heart massage right which I think you can probably 0:55:51.920 --> 0:55:54.360 figure out what that is. Somebody with her hand in 0:55:54.440 --> 0:55:57.640 his chest set it cracked her open squeeze or two. 0:55:58.239 --> 0:56:01.319 But at four am she was pronounced dead. At two 0:56:01.400 --> 0:56:04.000 pm the next day, Prince Charles and Diana's two older 0:56:04.080 --> 0:56:07.279 sisters arrived in Paris to collect her body and took 0:56:07.320 --> 0:56:11.000 it directly back to London. And she this is another 0:56:11.040 --> 0:56:12.960 thing that kind of set some people off. She was 0:56:13.040 --> 0:56:17.600 actually embalmbed before she was taken back to London. There 0:56:17.719 --> 0:56:20.160 was an autopsy done, although I don't think it was 0:56:20.719 --> 0:56:23.720 very curse. It was really cursey. I mean, when somebody's 0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:26.120 heart has been displaced to the other side of their body, 0:56:26.200 --> 0:56:29.640 I think people kind of say, yeah, that probably did it. 0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:31.640 You probably don't need to go in a great depth. 0:56:32.000 --> 0:56:34.040 Why would you pull out every organ away, um and 0:56:34.160 --> 0:56:37.280 check them and run all this point, it's very obvious 0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:40.080 that what happened is everything from the left shifted to 0:56:40.160 --> 0:56:43.480 the right. Yeah. And the other consideration I think, and 0:56:44.440 --> 0:56:46.320 this is probably fair, is that they didn't think that 0:56:46.440 --> 0:56:50.160 her loved ones needed to see her in the state 0:56:50.239 --> 0:56:52.160 that she would have had to have been in had 0:56:52.239 --> 0:56:54.960 they done all that extensive stuff. They kind of just 0:56:55.280 --> 0:56:57.799 did the things they needed to do and sewed her 0:56:57.920 --> 0:56:59.840 up and got you know, got her cleaned up and 0:57:00.600 --> 0:57:03.359 sent her on her way, which I think is fair. 0:57:03.520 --> 0:57:05.839 But that does set a lot of people off, which 0:57:05.880 --> 0:57:08.440 I think is also fair. Yeah, that's that. That raises 0:57:08.440 --> 0:57:11.160 a lot both things. Yeah, there's some weird stuff in 0:57:11.960 --> 0:57:15.359 the crash that we should go back and address real quick. 0:57:16.320 --> 0:57:19.480 One of those things is that there may have been 0:57:19.600 --> 0:57:22.280 and probably was and b I probably was I mean 0:57:24.120 --> 0:57:29.040 sure there was another car involved. The French police issued 0:57:29.080 --> 0:57:32.560 a search warrant for a white Fiat un which is 0:57:32.960 --> 0:57:37.480 it's basically it's a small hatchback. It's a little dinky car. Yeah, 0:57:37.480 --> 0:57:41.400 they weigh nothing. It's like the cheapest hashback car in 0:57:41.480 --> 0:57:45.320 the world, that's what it is. Yeah. Apparently the way 0:57:45.360 --> 0:57:47.320 they figured it was a white you know, is they 0:57:47.400 --> 0:57:50.320 found further off the roadway where the where the Mercedes 0:57:50.400 --> 0:57:53.080 had been before a crash. They found the broken tailed 0:57:53.160 --> 0:57:58.240 from a and the white paint on this and they 0:57:58.280 --> 0:58:03.640 figured out this must have side swap sidewips, you know. Yeah, 0:58:03.840 --> 0:58:06.880 and that may be cause the accident or certainly couldn't 0:58:06.880 --> 0:58:09.840 have helped things. And let's be very clear here, despite 0:58:09.880 --> 0:58:12.320 some of the accusations that have been thrown around that 0:58:12.520 --> 0:58:16.760 we are going to stay later in the show, this 0:58:17.000 --> 0:58:19.640 car has never been found and identified. The driver has 0:58:19.680 --> 0:58:22.640 never been identified. We do not know who was driving 0:58:22.680 --> 0:58:25.920 this car or why or what they were doing. And 0:58:26.080 --> 0:58:30.520 police did look at they looked at thousands of them. Yeah. 0:58:30.760 --> 0:58:34.560 Another weird thing is a bit of reporting about the Bends. Initially, 0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:36.200 it was reported that the car had been doing a 0:58:36.280 --> 0:58:38.600 hundred and twenty miles an hour, which is a hundred 0:58:38.680 --> 0:58:45.200 and ninety kilometers per hour UM, really really fast, and 0:58:45.320 --> 0:58:49.040 that the spidometer had jammed in place when the impact 0:58:49.280 --> 0:58:53.720 first took place. Later investigators corrected that and said no, no, no, 0:58:53.800 --> 0:58:56.920 the car was doing like sixty seventy miles an hour, 0:58:57.280 --> 0:58:59.600 and that the spiedometer was digital so it couldn't have 0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:04.840 been jamed in place. But the manufacture of the Mercedes 0:59:04.880 --> 0:59:07.960 Benz actually said that the spiedometer in this model, and 0:59:08.040 --> 0:59:11.200 this is corroborated by all of the literature about these 0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:16.480 these cars, this making model. Yeah, yeah, that the spiedometer 0:59:16.640 --> 0:59:19.920 is actually computer controlled analog and though the car was 0:59:20.080 --> 0:59:23.720 certainly traveling faster than it should have been, the spiedometer 0:59:23.920 --> 0:59:27.200 automatically resets to zero when a crash occurs, which you 0:59:27.240 --> 0:59:30.040 would expect because it hits something and went to zero, 0:59:30.600 --> 0:59:33.280 so it's not moving anymore, so the spidometer is going 0:59:33.360 --> 0:59:36.320 to say zero. Yeah, you're doing zero miles an hour 0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:40.680 right now. Yeah, But yeah, is a bit of an exaggeration, 0:59:40.760 --> 0:59:43.840 though I agree. I'm sorry, but I've I've driven at 0:59:43.880 --> 0:59:46.560 those kind of speeds. It's insane, and it's it's on 0:59:46.680 --> 0:59:50.280 a flat piece of road, it's fine. I couldn't imagine 0:59:50.480 --> 0:59:52.920 trying to do that speed on a road that's got 0:59:53.040 --> 0:59:57.040 curves and humps and underpasses. Like, if you're doing that, 0:59:57.200 --> 1:00:00.160 that's insane, and I've done it in short bit it's 1:00:00.280 --> 1:00:04.200 but not anything like a regular surface road. Well on 1:00:04.400 --> 1:00:07.960 rehad a extensive training on like this is why I 1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:10.920 think this is why Doughty was like, actually, hey, I 1:00:11.000 --> 1:00:12.960 know you're off duty, but can you come drive us 1:00:13.000 --> 1:00:17.080 for a minute. Yeah. He he had well with Mercedes 1:00:17.160 --> 1:00:22.080 been specifically, he had done several driver training courses for 1:00:22.320 --> 1:00:28.160 anti kidnapping and anti terrorist situations, which for anybody doesn't know, 1:00:28.360 --> 1:00:30.920 I mean, there's high speed driver training like what cops 1:00:31.040 --> 1:00:35.000 do where you're in an urban environment and you're you're 1:00:35.200 --> 1:00:37.400 on the gas, on the brake, learn how to control 1:00:37.520 --> 1:00:41.760 the car. And then there's evasion tactics and how to 1:00:42.040 --> 1:00:45.680 control a vehicle when it gets hit. Yeah, these are 1:00:45.760 --> 1:00:49.480 the things, and this is specifically in Mercedes Benz vehicles. 1:00:49.560 --> 1:00:52.280 Is when he got trained in this specific vehicle, not 1:00:52.480 --> 1:00:54.960 this exact one, but this make and model. Yes, So 1:00:56.040 --> 1:01:01.360 for as a general statement, most brand the vehicles, all 1:01:01.560 --> 1:01:03.920 cars in that brand are going to operate essentially the 1:01:04.000 --> 1:01:07.160 same so if I'm an a Ford Focus and then 1:01:07.200 --> 1:01:09.560 I jump into the Ford Sedan, which is the next 1:01:09.600 --> 1:01:12.080 size up, they're going to operate essentially the same and 1:01:12.160 --> 1:01:15.040 that's kind of different kind of weight behind you. Yeah, 1:01:15.160 --> 1:01:17.880 but I think it's worth mentioning. Yeah, the guy should 1:01:17.880 --> 1:01:19.480 have he would have known what he was doing in 1:01:20.160 --> 1:01:27.240 in these high speed, possible, unpredictable road conditions. Yeah, do 1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:29.960 anything else about the crash before we move on the theories? 1:01:30.800 --> 1:01:32.720 What about the crash? I let me think now, they 1:01:33.400 --> 1:01:36.000 after the spot where they found the Fiat till they 1:01:36.040 --> 1:01:39.880 found a hundred and six ft of skid marks veering 1:01:39.920 --> 1:01:43.920 to the left and in column, and then it's it 1:01:44.040 --> 1:01:48.160 appears that after the car hit the thirteenth column and 1:01:48.480 --> 1:01:51.560 sort of half bounced off, swung around, and came to 1:01:51.680 --> 1:01:54.400 rest up against the outer wall of the tunnel, it 1:01:54.520 --> 1:01:58.240 appears that the Fiat you know must have driven past 1:01:58.320 --> 1:02:00.440 him on his left hand side and left the yet, 1:02:00.760 --> 1:02:02.880 which suggested to me that maybe the guy you know 1:02:03.040 --> 1:02:04.840 was either felt to be felt he was a fault, 1:02:05.040 --> 1:02:09.240 or maybe he was drunk or suspended or something something 1:02:09.360 --> 1:02:12.800 and he just didn't there stick around. And here's well, 1:02:13.080 --> 1:02:16.200 here's something we haven't talked about this, this whole thing 1:02:16.400 --> 1:02:18.920 yet that we should probably bring up now. Europe is 1:02:19.200 --> 1:02:25.200 chuck full of cct cameras. There is no footage of 1:02:25.360 --> 1:02:31.120 this chunk of the road into that tunnel because the 1:02:31.280 --> 1:02:35.120 cameras weren't on. Yeah, I think there's multiple reasons. I 1:02:35.160 --> 1:02:37.440 mean I've heard that they were down for maintenance of her, 1:02:37.560 --> 1:02:40.360 that they only run during rush hour times. I mean, 1:02:40.400 --> 1:02:43.280 I don't know exactly. I never got a clear picture 1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:46.320 of why they weren't running. Well, there's their their cameras 1:02:46.400 --> 1:02:49.560 at the at the entrances of this tunnel. But I 1:02:49.640 --> 1:02:52.320 got this from the the British inquest about this thing, 1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:55.840 and they were not taped. They were just monitored in 1:02:55.920 --> 1:02:59.480 an office and the office closed at eleven pm. And 1:02:59.680 --> 1:03:01.960 so that's why there's no video or anything like that. 1:03:02.280 --> 1:03:04.440 That's insane to me that if you can, if you 1:03:04.560 --> 1:03:09.120 can pull recordable footage, why you wouldn't at least pull 1:03:09.160 --> 1:03:11.240 it and put it put it on a loop so 1:03:11.400 --> 1:03:14.480 that you could ten hours later go oh we really 1:03:14.560 --> 1:03:19.640 need the two o'clock this afternoon crash or something like that. Well, yeah, 1:03:19.680 --> 1:03:24.160 I mean this is not years ago. So and most 1:03:24.240 --> 1:03:27.480 of the CCTVs that were along the route. We're not 1:03:27.600 --> 1:03:30.920 even turned towards the road. You know, A lot of 1:03:31.000 --> 1:03:34.919 a lot of their thought made made a huge stink 1:03:34.960 --> 1:03:37.600 about that. But it turns out they identified I don't 1:03:37.640 --> 1:03:41.840 know what, maybe ten fourteen cameras along that, but there 1:03:41.920 --> 1:03:45.919 were some that were pointed towards the entry of the underpass, 1:03:46.080 --> 1:03:49.360 and that's I thought there was at least one or two. 1:03:49.720 --> 1:03:51.640 Most of the ones that they drove past were actually 1:03:51.800 --> 1:03:55.160 privately owned, and they were actually directed more towards security, 1:03:55.240 --> 1:03:57.160 so they were actually pointed at the front, so they 1:03:57.200 --> 1:04:02.840 weren't actually road cameras. I no, no, I don't think 1:04:02.920 --> 1:04:07.640 highway cams. I understood this as they were highway cams, 1:04:07.680 --> 1:04:10.440 so that's why I brought it up. Okay, well, then 1:04:10.560 --> 1:04:13.600 never mind, I'm completely off base on that one. Yeah. 1:04:13.680 --> 1:04:15.720 The only other thing I want to mention, just briefly 1:04:15.880 --> 1:04:20.000 before we get into theories, is that some eyewitnesses reported 1:04:20.080 --> 1:04:24.320 seeing a bright flash as the car entered the tunnel 1:04:24.600 --> 1:04:28.080 in our past. Yeah, I say that in an annoyed monitone. 1:04:28.240 --> 1:04:29.960 And we'll talk about in a minute. I'm pretty sure, 1:04:30.400 --> 1:04:33.480 but or I guess it's we have to mention it. 1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:37.840 We have to mention and it does into this next theory, 1:04:38.080 --> 1:04:40.000 which is the first theory. Right, we need to talk 1:04:40.000 --> 1:04:45.400 about theory number one. The paparazzi. They did well, they 1:04:45.440 --> 1:04:49.360 were responsible. So let's let's do a little bit of here, 1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:52.200 or a little bit of info. We've covered some of 1:04:52.280 --> 1:04:55.120 this briefly, but let me just kind of run into 1:04:55.200 --> 1:04:59.400 some of this. Is it's interesting. It's obvious why they 1:04:59.480 --> 1:05:04.920 were int did in her. She's Lady Diana. She is 1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:10.840 the the ex wife of Prince Charles, who is heir 1:05:11.040 --> 1:05:14.400 apparent to the throne of England. She's the mother of 1:05:14.480 --> 1:05:19.080 the future King of England. Correct. And then there's there's thirty. 1:05:19.200 --> 1:05:25.360 He's his dad. Is this giantly rich man who has 1:05:25.560 --> 1:05:28.840 his fingers and so many pies. I mean, it makes 1:05:28.920 --> 1:05:31.040 sense why they would be interested in both of them, 1:05:31.080 --> 1:05:33.600 though mostly I'm pretty sure they were interested in Diana. 1:05:34.320 --> 1:05:38.360 In the nineties, people may not know this. I mean, 1:05:38.600 --> 1:05:40.720 I think people are used to this now, but this 1:05:40.960 --> 1:05:43.720 was kind of record breaking at the time. Is in 1:05:43.800 --> 1:05:50.800 the nineties, several photographs of celebrities started selling for tens 1:05:50.880 --> 1:05:56.040 of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars to tabloids. 1:05:56.880 --> 1:06:04.040 This became a huge money making industry, and while I 1:06:04.200 --> 1:06:08.120 personally don't think that it is a profession, it was 1:06:08.240 --> 1:06:12.520 a job that could make you a very rich individual 1:06:12.640 --> 1:06:15.840 if you got the right shot. Though, you know, the 1:06:16.000 --> 1:06:20.040 right shot being a picture of two people in a car. Yeah, 1:06:20.160 --> 1:06:23.200 if you got the picture of them doing the nasty 1:06:23.360 --> 1:06:25.920 when they shouldn't have been. That's one making out on 1:06:26.040 --> 1:06:30.120 the beach or the yacht, sure, yes, but traveling car 1:06:30.880 --> 1:06:34.800 not so interesting. Yeah, And it said they really really 1:06:34.880 --> 1:06:36.800 was not all that necessary to drive fast, I mean 1:06:37.000 --> 1:06:39.120 christ sakes, And unless they were trying to lose them, 1:06:39.160 --> 1:06:40.920 which they were about to do. I think they were 1:06:41.000 --> 1:06:42.560 trying to lose them. They didn't want to know where that. 1:06:42.600 --> 1:06:44.120 They didn't want them to know where the apartment was, 1:06:44.280 --> 1:06:48.200 because the idea was, they're swarming the rits. Let's get 1:06:48.240 --> 1:06:52.120 away from the ritz. Let's go to the apartment so 1:06:52.280 --> 1:06:55.400 that they don't know where we're at. That's the idea. 1:06:56.320 --> 1:07:01.000 Let's let's talk about some of the paparazzi, specifically the 1:07:01.080 --> 1:07:04.000 ones who were chasing them. There were there were there 1:07:04.040 --> 1:07:09.000 were nine of them who were charged with manslaughter in 1:07:09.160 --> 1:07:12.720 France based on the accident. Because they were they were 1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:16.720 deemed to have been in some way responsible for the accident. 1:07:17.320 --> 1:07:19.800 Those charges were thrown out in two thousand and two, 1:07:20.240 --> 1:07:22.960 which makes sense when you think about it. I don't 1:07:23.000 --> 1:07:25.880 think they were there, so yeah, that makes sense. There 1:07:25.920 --> 1:07:31.160 were three of them who were convicted of invasion of 1:07:31.320 --> 1:07:36.360 privacy for taking pictures of the couple, and this is 1:07:36.480 --> 1:07:41.360 so weird. They were fined in two thousand six one 1:07:41.480 --> 1:07:45.640 euro apiece. I suspect that about what they sold their 1:07:45.720 --> 1:07:50.080 photos for. I don't, I don't. I really don't understand 1:07:50.120 --> 1:07:52.000 that you could make any money taking pictures to Diana 1:07:52.080 --> 1:07:54.760 because everybody was doing it. Yeah, you have to get 1:07:54.840 --> 1:07:58.680 a really compromising photo. And then the guys that took 1:07:58.760 --> 1:08:01.880 the photos at the crash site probably could have sold 1:08:01.960 --> 1:08:03.360 them for a lot of money. But there's a lot 1:08:03.440 --> 1:08:06.920 of scuffle about that. But let's let's just kind of 1:08:07.000 --> 1:08:11.200 let's move into the actual theory portion here. So people 1:08:11.280 --> 1:08:16.320 believe that the paparazzi are responsible for the crash in 1:08:16.600 --> 1:08:20.920 two different ways, as we've just briefly touched on. The 1:08:21.080 --> 1:08:26.400 first is that they were responsible because they were chasing 1:08:26.520 --> 1:08:29.560 the couple, because as we talked about, they sent the 1:08:29.680 --> 1:08:34.320 decoy car out, and then a little bit later, you know, 1:08:34.400 --> 1:08:37.600 most of the paparazzi chase the decoy car, but not 1:08:37.800 --> 1:08:40.639 all of them took debait, and some of them figured 1:08:40.680 --> 1:08:42.479 out that they were still there and they chased the 1:08:42.560 --> 1:08:45.719 car from the back of the hotel where they actually 1:08:45.880 --> 1:08:48.360 left from. Of course, then that meant that it's their 1:08:48.479 --> 1:08:51.760 fault that they were driving so fast and so erratically 1:08:51.920 --> 1:08:55.200 to try to escape them. I do want to point out, 1:08:55.280 --> 1:08:58.160 and we we touched on this earlier, is that the 1:08:58.320 --> 1:09:04.680 paparazzi were on motorcycles a k a. Mopeds like a 1:09:04.880 --> 1:09:08.040 vestmus so one guy driving, one guy on the back. 1:09:08.120 --> 1:09:12.000 So two dudes on a Vestment which doesn't have a 1:09:12.160 --> 1:09:16.280 high speed. It's super maneuverable, so you can get in 1:09:16.400 --> 1:09:18.720 and out and get your photos and get out, but 1:09:18.920 --> 1:09:24.719 you cannot keep up with a Mercedes Benz S two eighty. 1:09:24.960 --> 1:09:27.679 That thing has a V eight engine in it. Yeah, 1:09:27.680 --> 1:09:30.160 and it was being driven pretty quickly. It's a high 1:09:30.360 --> 1:09:34.320 power car. It's going to be able to escape them quickly. 1:09:34.479 --> 1:09:38.200 But the point is, it's it's theorized that if they 1:09:38.320 --> 1:09:42.720 had just not done their job so well, there's a 1:09:42.760 --> 1:09:46.360 way to say it, then of course Henri wouldn't have 1:09:46.400 --> 1:09:49.360 had to drive so fast to try to escape them 1:09:49.760 --> 1:09:54.880 or evade them that then this wouldn't have happened. So although, 1:09:55.320 --> 1:09:57.200 you know, I would argue that if I were the 1:09:57.320 --> 1:09:59.439 lawyer to argue that, you know, hey, these people are 1:09:59.479 --> 1:10:02.240 trying to my clients, they should have found more creative 1:10:02.280 --> 1:10:05.679 ways to escape my clients than driving like breakneck SpeI 1:10:06.160 --> 1:10:10.560 the middle of Paris. Yeah, no, that's that's an absolutely 1:10:10.680 --> 1:10:13.960 valid point. Yeah, I think that these guys just needs 1:10:13.960 --> 1:10:16.880 to get creative about evading paparazzi. I need to hire me. 1:10:17.439 --> 1:10:19.639 I would. I would have him figure it out. Well, 1:10:19.760 --> 1:10:22.680 you know, the easy answer is blacked out windows, but hey, 1:10:22.800 --> 1:10:24.760 what do I know you can do that. The other 1:10:24.960 --> 1:10:29.880 version of the theory is that they caused the crash directly. 1:10:30.160 --> 1:10:32.519 This is kind of an outside theory, but it is 1:10:32.760 --> 1:10:36.280 one thing. It's one of the theories that Mohammad Alfa 1:10:36.400 --> 1:10:40.960 had really really gets in bed with one of the hundreds. 1:10:41.439 --> 1:10:44.559 That guy, what was it like seventy or eighty theories 1:10:44.800 --> 1:10:51.639 he purported to the Inquisition saying, it's it's some absurd number. 1:10:51.720 --> 1:10:52.920 It could have been that, it could have been that, 1:10:53.000 --> 1:10:54.800 it could have been this, it could have been I mean, 1:10:54.880 --> 1:10:57.400 like it's almost as if he sat down for three 1:10:57.479 --> 1:11:00.880 months row done every idea that could have been possible, 1:11:01.360 --> 1:11:05.600 and then submitted those But what he says, or what 1:11:05.800 --> 1:11:08.920 what the theory is is, and Joe talked about this earlier, 1:11:09.000 --> 1:11:13.439 is there's the bright flash or it was you okay, 1:11:13.479 --> 1:11:17.240 thank you. If this theory is right, the bright flash 1:11:17.720 --> 1:11:22.519 was caused by the flash from a camera. So there 1:11:22.680 --> 1:11:26.599 is a photographer trying to take a photo and they 1:11:26.720 --> 1:11:32.160 take a photo and the flash blinds Onnre to the 1:11:32.320 --> 1:11:37.120 point that he can't see, so that he loses control 1:11:37.240 --> 1:11:41.000 of the vehicle. People who saw the Mercedes enter the 1:11:41.120 --> 1:11:45.200 tunnel didn't say that they saw the paparazzi with them, 1:11:45.360 --> 1:11:49.559 so that makes me think that they had evaded them. 1:11:49.800 --> 1:11:53.800 So therefore the whole flash things seems a little weird. 1:11:54.800 --> 1:11:58.240 But we've also talked about the white Fiat that you know. 1:11:59.840 --> 1:12:05.240 There are theories that say that when the Mercedes was 1:12:05.320 --> 1:12:10.000 going into the tunnel, there was the Uno and three motorcycles. 1:12:10.320 --> 1:12:13.840 The first theory is that there's the Mercedes directly in 1:12:14.000 --> 1:12:16.600 front of and to the right of it is the 1:12:16.720 --> 1:12:19.240 Fiat trying to slow it down and trying to slow 1:12:19.320 --> 1:12:22.120 it down, and behind it is the motorcycles, or the 1:12:22.400 --> 1:12:25.840 UNO is next to the Mercedes and then the motorcycles 1:12:25.880 --> 1:12:32.000 are behind both vehicles. This theory runs that the UNO 1:12:32.200 --> 1:12:35.599 was trying to get in front of to slow down 1:12:36.200 --> 1:12:39.559 the Mercedes so that the photographers on the motorcycles could 1:12:39.560 --> 1:12:42.719 get their photos, which I can see, but it doesn't 1:12:42.720 --> 1:12:47.479 it doesn't work for me, or that the FIAD was 1:12:48.120 --> 1:12:52.120 trying to get up next to the Mercedes and take 1:12:52.200 --> 1:12:54.960 a picture. Both of these are saying that in some 1:12:55.160 --> 1:12:58.360 way somebody with a super bright flash on their camera 1:12:58.960 --> 1:13:02.240 was getting next to a car and there was interference 1:13:02.320 --> 1:13:07.080 in that bright flash is what. Then blinds are so 1:13:07.240 --> 1:13:11.880 that he loses control. But that would take an amazing, 1:13:12.640 --> 1:13:15.559 an amazing intelligence network to come up with their route 1:13:15.640 --> 1:13:18.640 ahead of time to position a Fiat ahead of them. 1:13:19.080 --> 1:13:23.519 I call that blind luck to have been Holy crap, 1:13:23.600 --> 1:13:27.320 we're on the same route as as Diana and Dotti 1:13:27.479 --> 1:13:30.400 a Doughtie. Oh my gosh, how could that be? But 1:13:30.520 --> 1:13:34.800 there's also this and the witness accounts of everything going 1:13:34.840 --> 1:13:38.480 into the tunnel and out of the tunnel. They're unreliable 1:13:38.560 --> 1:13:44.160 at best. We've talked about witness states, some conflicts, they're 1:13:44.200 --> 1:13:47.000 not all the same. Nobody reported. For example, I got 1:13:47.360 --> 1:13:51.840 I read a number of different accounts that people people 1:13:51.880 --> 1:13:54.240 who saw the Mercedes go into the tunnel, they were 1:13:54.280 --> 1:13:56.120 like coming out of the tunnel the other way, for example, 1:13:56.439 --> 1:13:59.360 And they didn't say anything about a Fiat, a white Fiat. Correct. 1:14:00.520 --> 1:14:04.280 But I have seen stuff about reports of seeing coming 1:14:04.720 --> 1:14:11.360 out of that tunnel another black or possibly white Mercedes 1:14:12.280 --> 1:14:16.639 that did in fact go in with them and speed 1:14:16.760 --> 1:14:21.599 out of the tunnel without them and disappear into the night, 1:14:22.000 --> 1:14:25.680 a different kind of Mercedes, a different Mercedes vehicle. So 1:14:25.840 --> 1:14:30.200 two Mercedes went in, one came out. But the color 1:14:30.360 --> 1:14:35.160 of that second Mercedes changes from traumatically white to black 1:14:35.680 --> 1:14:40.200 depending on what you see. So well, if it was black, 1:14:40.280 --> 1:14:42.920 it could have been a decoy. In Diana and Dotie 1:14:42.960 --> 1:14:45.599 are still alive, that's probably what it is. Probably with Tupac, 1:14:50.000 --> 1:14:52.439 there was and I know there was at least one 1:14:52.439 --> 1:14:54.360 other car ahead of them in the tunnel too, because 1:14:54.400 --> 1:14:57.200 they also the driver of that car reported the white 1:14:57.280 --> 1:15:00.439 flash also correct. And I know we're to go into 1:15:00.520 --> 1:15:03.560 some of that indeed talk, but but yeah, I know. 1:15:03.720 --> 1:15:09.400 So it's it's hard because there's so many differing accounts 1:15:10.439 --> 1:15:15.160 of so many at least three two to three vehicles, 1:15:16.320 --> 1:15:20.200 not counting the motorcycles. Yeah, that's hard. I'm not sure 1:15:20.760 --> 1:15:22.920 where I land. I don't know, I don't I don't think. 1:15:22.960 --> 1:15:26.080 I think the paparazzi are scumbags, but I don't think 1:15:26.120 --> 1:15:30.400 that per se. It's their fault and that obviously they 1:15:30.400 --> 1:15:33.200 didn't deliberately do it because they don't want to kill Diana. 1:15:35.240 --> 1:15:38.200 What a way to kill your paychecks for real. Let's 1:15:38.240 --> 1:15:40.560 move on to our next theory. Yeah, this is this 1:15:40.680 --> 1:15:44.040 is the man. There's so much on this one. Just 1:15:44.120 --> 1:15:47.040 so you guys know, prepare you know, take your potty 1:15:47.080 --> 1:15:49.000 break now if you need to. Joe has written an 1:15:49.160 --> 1:15:53.400 entire episodes worth of information on this next Yeah, we're 1:15:53.400 --> 1:15:58.280 gonna be talking fast. So the next theory is that 1:15:58.439 --> 1:16:01.479 the royal family on with m I six and the 1:16:02.439 --> 1:16:07.000 S A S got together and murdered Die. And what's 1:16:07.120 --> 1:16:12.479 the s I S? Yeah, special says a special air service. 1:16:12.560 --> 1:16:15.080 But what I meant with special service but the special 1:16:15.120 --> 1:16:18.240 airy services, the special special service like in campuses, like 1:16:19.000 --> 1:16:20.880 the whole ball of wax, like in My six at 1:16:20.960 --> 1:16:23.680 My five. M I five is counterintelligence and then m 1:16:23.760 --> 1:16:26.160 I six is overseas spying. That kind of thing you 1:16:26.200 --> 1:16:30.200 don't get if you've seen a James Bond movie, you know, yeah, exactly. Uh, 1:16:30.360 --> 1:16:32.920 the this is the series put forward by Muhammad alf 1:16:33.400 --> 1:16:37.800 shocking one of the seventy. Yeah, he's put together put 1:16:37.840 --> 1:16:40.640 together quite a bit of cool conspiracy theories here. I 1:16:40.680 --> 1:16:43.560 actually actually have a theory about Alpha Ad, which is 1:16:43.640 --> 1:16:46.000 that he's really proud of the fact that his his 1:16:46.160 --> 1:16:48.519 son was dating Princess Die and he just wants to 1:16:48.600 --> 1:16:52.240 keep reminding people about it. We can talk a lot 1:16:52.280 --> 1:16:55.800 about Alfad in a little bit. Yeah, he's an interesting guy, 1:16:55.920 --> 1:16:58.720 he is. So why did they do this? Why did 1:16:58.720 --> 1:17:01.920 the royal family want to murder because, accoring to the 1:17:01.960 --> 1:17:07.760 Alpha had that I was pregnant with his child. Yeah, 1:17:08.000 --> 1:17:12.160 not not Mohammed's child, and apparently they were going there 1:17:12.360 --> 1:17:15.640 on the break of announcing their engagement. Can can I 1:17:15.920 --> 1:17:18.280 stop you for a second. Yeah, do you know how 1:17:18.520 --> 1:17:24.040 infuriating tabloids are. There's a baby bomb. No, it's called 1:17:24.160 --> 1:17:28.560 a human woman who has a normal belly in a 1:17:28.720 --> 1:17:33.160 one piece bathing suit. But he has an abdomen. But 1:17:33.240 --> 1:17:35.400 it wasn't It was the tabloids. They were putting this 1:17:35.479 --> 1:17:38.080 out there. Well, no, but the tabloids put put out 1:17:38.200 --> 1:17:42.880 photos of dies baby bomb and stuff like that. It's like, oh, 1:17:42.960 --> 1:17:45.760 my gosh, cut it out. She's just a person. It's 1:17:45.760 --> 1:17:49.400 just been guzzling a lot of beer. It's it's particularly 1:17:49.439 --> 1:17:52.240 frustrating in this point. We haven't actually talked much about this, 1:17:52.439 --> 1:17:56.000 but people may or may not know Diana was severely 1:17:56.080 --> 1:17:59.080 blimic for a good portion of her life, and so 1:17:59.240 --> 1:18:01.200 that was something she actually struggled with. So it's like 1:18:01.320 --> 1:18:05.040 extra frustrating to know that she had those body issues 1:18:05.160 --> 1:18:06.880 and to hear, you know, the tabloids were like, oh, 1:18:06.960 --> 1:18:10.120 it's a baby bump for her. Oh, she's gaining some 1:18:10.240 --> 1:18:17.439 healthy weight. Punds of extra weight on she annoying anyway, Well, 1:18:17.560 --> 1:18:19.880 it was the whole, the whole Diana thing was annoying. Frankly, 1:18:21.080 --> 1:18:23.040 I think I think Diana would have considered me her 1:18:23.640 --> 1:18:26.360 her ideal fan because I didn't give it, damn. Yeah. 1:18:26.479 --> 1:18:31.040 And that was so was pregnant. So they were going 1:18:31.080 --> 1:18:36.519 to announcer with Deli's child, and so Princess Prince Philip, 1:18:36.920 --> 1:18:40.960 not Princess Philip. Prince Philip gave the order to rub 1:18:41.040 --> 1:18:45.800 her out because they obviously didn't want to have you know, 1:18:46.160 --> 1:18:49.879 like a Muslim child in the Royal family Islam Islamic 1:18:50.120 --> 1:18:54.400 Islamic child. But uh and the services apparently used the plan. 1:18:54.520 --> 1:18:57.320 It was similar to one surprisingly that have been cooked 1:18:57.400 --> 1:19:01.479 up in to assassinate slow the Sloba Don Wilson, which 1:19:01.520 --> 1:19:03.639 involved a bright flash with a bright flash. You guys, 1:19:03.760 --> 1:19:06.320 bright flash with a bright flash, and bright flashes can 1:19:06.400 --> 1:19:09.519 do a lot. Actually you actually can. With the bright 1:19:09.600 --> 1:19:12.200 enough flash, you can actually stun people. Actually caused him 1:19:12.240 --> 1:19:16.200 a conk out temporarily. You can disorient them hugely. But anyway, 1:19:16.240 --> 1:19:19.360 let's go ahead with this. Alpa had said this is Mohammed, 1:19:19.600 --> 1:19:22.720 that Andree Paul was working for an intelligence service and 1:19:22.880 --> 1:19:25.200 that he was somehow instrumental in the plan to kill 1:19:25.280 --> 1:19:28.639 Diane Doe, which is funny because you know he killed himself. 1:19:28.760 --> 1:19:32.960 Well you know, he employed he was his deputy head 1:19:32.960 --> 1:19:35.479 of security of course at the at the time. At 1:19:35.520 --> 1:19:37.360 the time, he didn't know this. He found this out 1:19:37.520 --> 1:19:40.600 later until it was sourced. Somehow he was part of 1:19:40.640 --> 1:19:42.519 this plan knowingly or not. He might have just been 1:19:42.560 --> 1:19:46.840 a catspaw. He also said that James Andenson, who was 1:19:46.880 --> 1:19:50.680 a photographer, was also working for an intelligence service and 1:19:50.800 --> 1:19:53.240 that he was present at the accident. He was president 1:19:53.280 --> 1:19:57.519 of the president of the accident, wasn't he photographer James Anderson. No, 1:19:57.760 --> 1:19:59.439 But of course this is just, this is just the 1:19:59.520 --> 1:20:04.920 accusation is a Muhammad fiad uh It says was working 1:20:04.960 --> 1:20:08.600 for an intelligence service. He was at the accident. Onsen 1:20:08.720 --> 1:20:11.599 he claimed owned a white Fiat Uno which he had 1:20:11.720 --> 1:20:15.080 used somehow to cause the accident. His Fiat Uno was 1:20:15.200 --> 1:20:17.320 later examined by the French police and found to be 1:20:17.439 --> 1:20:20.040 the one that left white paint on the Mercedes. On 1:20:20.160 --> 1:20:24.080 the endor of the Mercedes. Onison died in May two 1:20:24.160 --> 1:20:28.519 thousand suspicious circumstances in a car fire, which was ruled 1:20:28.520 --> 1:20:30.760 as a suicide. But if I had said that the 1:20:30.880 --> 1:20:33.559 unusual circumstances of the fire indicated that he was murdered 1:20:33.560 --> 1:20:37.040 by the security services, although he allowed it, perhaps on 1:20:37.240 --> 1:20:39.799 the senor just committed suicide out of guilt over murdering 1:20:39.920 --> 1:20:43.439 Diane Dote. So yeah, okay, okay, well let's keep rying 1:20:43.479 --> 1:20:44.920 with this one, because I really I do like this. 1:20:45.040 --> 1:20:47.439 I like this, but there's red flags for me, are 1:20:47.520 --> 1:20:49.479 things that I'd like way to see. But I know 1:20:49.520 --> 1:20:53.600 we're gonna get to tongue. This is yeah, this is 1:20:53.640 --> 1:20:56.040 something that was extensively investigated. It's not like he just 1:20:56.120 --> 1:20:58.599 made these accusations and nobody looked at here's the Yeah, 1:20:58.600 --> 1:21:02.680 there's the inquisition, Operation the inquest. Yeah, what was it, 1:21:02.920 --> 1:21:07.760 Operation Paget. I think I thought it was wrong. I 1:21:07.800 --> 1:21:12.519 don't know, probably anyways, I don't know what it's onounced, Yeah, 1:21:12.760 --> 1:21:16.200 eight hundred and or something. I think it's eight hundred 1:21:16.240 --> 1:21:19.120 and thirty two pages. I think we read parts of 1:21:19.160 --> 1:21:22.000 it at least. Actually, I gotta tell you, I read 1:21:22.080 --> 1:21:24.040 hundreds of pages of that and I didn't finish it, 1:21:24.160 --> 1:21:26.400 but always, but I read a lot of it. But 1:21:26.600 --> 1:21:28.360 this was one of the things they investigated in that, 1:21:28.520 --> 1:21:33.679 isn't it. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, exactly. They had a whole 1:21:33.720 --> 1:21:36.599 chapter on the on the whole M I six Royal 1:21:36.720 --> 1:21:40.880 family accusation. There were other accusations that were also kind 1:21:40.880 --> 1:21:43.439 of suspicious. There was a guy in the British embassy 1:21:43.960 --> 1:21:48.160 named Richard Spearman who apparently was supposedly m I six, 1:21:48.520 --> 1:21:51.840 and he showed up in Paris um just like a 1:21:51.960 --> 1:21:56.160 few days before the accident. Coincidentally speaking, another guy in 1:21:56.280 --> 1:21:59.040 Nicholas Langman, also with M I six, supposedly in the 1:21:59.080 --> 1:22:01.680 Paris Embassy or rived in Paris, he said, a week 1:22:01.760 --> 1:22:05.640 before the accident, and left a week after. Mohammed had 1:22:05.680 --> 1:22:08.120 said that this is what he said, although some versions 1:22:08.160 --> 1:22:11.320 just say that he actually was actually arrived a couple 1:22:11.360 --> 1:22:13.599 of years earlier, and he was on a four year 1:22:13.680 --> 1:22:15.920 posting and then he was pulled out like a week 1:22:16.040 --> 1:22:20.840 after the murders, which is like unprecedented because when you 1:22:20.960 --> 1:22:23.280 post somebody to a country, they have to go through 1:22:23.280 --> 1:22:25.640 all kinds of training specific to that country. They have 1:22:25.720 --> 1:22:27.519 to they have to go through language training and all 1:22:27.640 --> 1:22:30.720 kinds of stuff. There's a big investment. So if you 1:22:30.800 --> 1:22:36.000 pull somebody out two years into huge laws, right, Yeah, 1:22:36.120 --> 1:22:39.160 So how how to explain that Nicholas Langman was suddenly 1:22:39.640 --> 1:22:44.200 jerked back to London just like a week after. So 1:22:44.400 --> 1:22:47.920 that's that you had. Uh. There were also two British 1:22:47.960 --> 1:22:52.680 photographers presence at the Ritz on that night. They both 1:22:52.760 --> 1:22:56.479 were overheard to be speaking English. Nobody had seen them before, 1:22:56.479 --> 1:22:59.639 and the paparazzi all knew each other. Everybody everybody knew 1:22:59.640 --> 1:23:04.160 everybody were strangers. You're always hanging out at the same places, 1:23:04.200 --> 1:23:06.040 you're going to get to know oh yeah, and so 1:23:06.200 --> 1:23:09.160 these two strangers were hanging out there well, what's that 1:23:09.280 --> 1:23:13.960 all about. Well, maybe because there's a foreigner. Maybe because 1:23:14.000 --> 1:23:17.080 there's a big crowd and people are saying, hey, Princess 1:23:17.120 --> 1:23:22.519 Dia is here. Now, that's crazy talk, crazy insanity. So 1:23:22.720 --> 1:23:26.320 almost all these claims originated with a guy named Richard Tomlinson, 1:23:26.600 --> 1:23:30.600 who was an m I six officer from apparently to 1:23:30.720 --> 1:23:35.839 nine when he was dismissed under quote acrimonious circumstances unquote. 1:23:36.439 --> 1:23:38.360 I don't know what that means, but apparently, Yeah, it 1:23:38.479 --> 1:23:42.160 was not not a good term to a dishonorable discharge. Yeah. 1:23:42.240 --> 1:23:44.120 I kind of like that. I didn't like him. Yeah. 1:23:44.360 --> 1:23:47.880 Thomlinson published a book about his time in a special 1:23:48.000 --> 1:23:50.519 service in two thousand one, which was called The Big Reach. 1:23:50.760 --> 1:23:53.240 In the bookie details and encounter with a co worker. 1:23:53.920 --> 1:23:56.439 Co worker says, one day, hey, take a look at 1:23:56.479 --> 1:23:59.080 this memo. Tell me what you think. The memo outlines 1:23:59.600 --> 1:24:03.599 based three ways to kill Sloba Don Melosavik we've all 1:24:03.680 --> 1:24:05.599 heard of if you haven't to do a google on them. 1:24:06.040 --> 1:24:09.240 The that one basically was about half half in just 1:24:09.520 --> 1:24:13.719 justifying the assassination of Sloba Don, like you'd have to yeah, exactly, 1:24:14.240 --> 1:24:15.920 And the rest of it was like kind of a 1:24:16.000 --> 1:24:18.680 how to how do we do this? And so there 1:24:18.760 --> 1:24:22.320 was one Yeah, bullet point number one. Yeah, bullet point 1:24:22.400 --> 1:24:25.400 one power point presentation one. The one would be that 1:24:26.479 --> 1:24:30.160 Special Service commando is just assassinate them directly rifle. Yeah. 1:24:30.920 --> 1:24:34.759 Another one option too is that Special Service recruits local 1:24:34.840 --> 1:24:37.160 militiamen to do it, which is kind of a nice 1:24:37.200 --> 1:24:41.120 way to do it. Yeah. And third one was as 1:24:41.160 --> 1:24:43.720 Special Service does it, but instead of using guns, they 1:24:43.920 --> 1:24:46.960 just kill him by causing his limit to crash. And 1:24:47.120 --> 1:24:49.960 the specific plan in this case was by using a 1:24:50.040 --> 1:24:53.759 blinding flash to blind his limo driver, preferably in a tunnel. 1:24:53.880 --> 1:24:56.799 Oh that's right. That's why I was being an idiot 1:24:56.840 --> 1:25:01.200 earlier and thinking that this was a real thing. You know, 1:25:01.320 --> 1:25:06.479 this is a big story. Is sorry to tie together 1:25:06.600 --> 1:25:09.880 a lot of details here, but when Tom was Thomas 1:25:09.920 --> 1:25:12.960 had first heard about the circumstances of dias car crash, 1:25:13.000 --> 1:25:15.800 and he heard about that blinding flash, his memory was 1:25:15.880 --> 1:25:18.760 jolted and he suddenly went back to when he saw 1:25:18.840 --> 1:25:23.479 this memo. Convenient. All these details about this plot were 1:25:23.640 --> 1:25:25.639 in his book that he published in two thousand one. 1:25:26.720 --> 1:25:31.000 He also talked about how in he was working on 1:25:31.080 --> 1:25:33.479 an operation to recover weapons. And this actually I'm not 1:25:33.560 --> 1:25:35.000 sure if this was in his book or not, but 1:25:35.080 --> 1:25:37.320 this is some information that he passed along to Muhammad 1:25:37.320 --> 1:25:40.519 alf Had. He was working on an operation in recover 1:25:40.680 --> 1:25:43.880 high tech weapons from the former Soviet Union. And by 1:25:43.920 --> 1:25:47.040 the way, this operation was found to have actually existed, 1:25:47.120 --> 1:25:50.320 so it wasn't completely lying about this stuff. Yeah, this 1:25:50.400 --> 1:25:53.519 guy was full of hot air at times, but not 1:25:53.840 --> 1:25:58.840 everything was. But everything was so hard that that's like 1:25:59.000 --> 1:26:02.040 more frustrating to me than anything else, you know, because 1:26:02.080 --> 1:26:04.439 it's like, well, some of what you're saying is true, 1:26:04.840 --> 1:26:07.559 and it makes sense that people try and cover up 1:26:07.600 --> 1:26:09.840 the other stuff that you're saying. So is it true 1:26:09.960 --> 1:26:12.120 or are you making it up? But that's that's the 1:26:12.280 --> 1:26:16.360 thing of is he really a spy gone rogue and 1:26:16.479 --> 1:26:20.160 been kicked out or is he actually his mission is 1:26:20.240 --> 1:26:22.880 a plant to do with these other things, to spin 1:26:23.000 --> 1:26:28.040 these other lines. That's that's that's the total deep cover, 1:26:29.240 --> 1:26:32.439 really deep cover, or you just a jerk lost his 1:26:32.640 --> 1:26:36.080 job and his spouting off. Yeah, there's but there's more 1:26:36.120 --> 1:26:39.240 interesting about this, right Oh yeah, definitely yeah. Yeah. This 1:26:39.280 --> 1:26:41.880 guy's not done yeah, oh no, not he's he's put 1:26:41.920 --> 1:26:44.040 out a lot of stuff and almost everything like I 1:26:44.080 --> 1:26:46.280 said that Mohammed came up with he got from this 1:26:46.400 --> 1:26:48.680 guy anyway back to that operation in the form of 1:26:48.760 --> 1:26:50.920 set Union. It was in collaboration with the big time 1:26:51.120 --> 1:26:54.240 armstealer who maybe that was ad naka Shogi, I don't know, 1:26:54.920 --> 1:26:57.439 but he turns out he was in frequent contact with 1:26:57.680 --> 1:27:01.800 none other than Mohammed al Fayad, so they yeah, uh, 1:27:01.960 --> 1:27:03.720 and this is all by his memory, of course, of 1:27:03.800 --> 1:27:06.760 reading these files. The informant who reported these contacts had 1:27:06.760 --> 1:27:10.200 a code name, so Tomlinson didn't know what his real 1:27:10.320 --> 1:27:11.840 name was, but he was able to figure out from 1:27:11.880 --> 1:27:14.400 going through the files that it was a French guy 1:27:14.640 --> 1:27:18.040 who was head of security at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. 1:27:18.360 --> 1:27:23.560 That the deputy head. No, no, I know, it's not 1:27:23.800 --> 1:27:28.559 I know we're not saying, but they give people code 1:27:28.640 --> 1:27:31.120 names and they hold back a lot of information to 1:27:31.240 --> 1:27:35.559 protect those people. So this guy is just like, oh, dude, 1:27:35.960 --> 1:27:39.000 totally figured that out. That was just the word jumble. 1:27:39.240 --> 1:27:46.559 I questioned credibility. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no there's there's 1:27:46.600 --> 1:27:49.560 really no point and assigning somebody a code name to 1:27:49.680 --> 1:27:51.600 protect his identity and this thing and then just like 1:27:51.760 --> 1:27:54.400 leaving information and it obviously indicates where he works and 1:27:54.479 --> 1:27:57.439 what his job is. What makes it so easy, works 1:27:57.720 --> 1:28:04.320 on the fifth Street and well and the local insurance company. 1:28:04.360 --> 1:28:07.920 But nobody will figure that out. The report somewhere between 1:28:08.120 --> 1:28:14.200 floors five and seven. Yeah, anyway, we'll talk more about that. 1:28:14.800 --> 1:28:17.640 Tomlinson also heard while he was at Special Service that 1:28:17.720 --> 1:28:20.280 there was a member of the paparazzi who was with 1:28:20.560 --> 1:28:22.640 m I six, or at least an informant for m 1:28:22.760 --> 1:28:28.040 I six, who followed Diana on a regular basis. Yeah, okay. 1:28:28.240 --> 1:28:31.519 The Brits put together an inquest called Operation Peget, which 1:28:31.520 --> 1:28:34.160 we mentioned, we mentioned, which was a quart of the 1:28:34.200 --> 1:28:37.599 inquiry into all of these allegations which this this thing 1:28:37.800 --> 1:28:44.280 has been beaten. This it got so abused in the media, 1:28:45.320 --> 1:28:49.599 so many things got called out. Is weird and awkward, odd, 1:28:49.680 --> 1:28:51.960 and I don't think we're going to go into any 1:28:52.320 --> 1:28:57.800 of that logistical parliamentary process just to get people who 1:28:57.960 --> 1:29:02.040 have read up on this or what certain documentaries, because 1:29:02.080 --> 1:29:05.120 I watched a bunch of the documentaries just to try 1:29:05.200 --> 1:29:08.240 to find some of this stuff. Be warned, we're not 1:29:08.560 --> 1:29:12.759 going into this operation. Also be warned. I guess people 1:29:12.840 --> 1:29:14.800 may or may not know. I know, Steve one in 1:29:14.880 --> 1:29:18.560 knowing this, but many of the documentaries about this have 1:29:18.920 --> 1:29:23.559 been produced by all FAI, A number of them. Yeah, 1:29:23.720 --> 1:29:26.600 there are some that are independently produced and some that 1:29:26.720 --> 1:29:33.120 are influenced or monetarily or politically by him. Back to 1:29:33.160 --> 1:29:37.400 Operation Hope, I'm not mispronouncing that the contact of that 1:29:37.680 --> 1:29:40.120 Special Service first, and they were given access to the 1:29:40.200 --> 1:29:43.360 database as another documentation. And of course they didn't let 1:29:43.400 --> 1:29:45.280 just anybody look at that stuff. They had to have 1:29:45.360 --> 1:29:48.479 to be people with the appropriate security clearances, which most 1:29:48.520 --> 1:29:50.760 of the people who are investigating this were though, I 1:29:50.800 --> 1:29:53.920 mean it was, it was a high level investigation. Yeah, 1:29:54.240 --> 1:29:58.719 in quest. Yeah, so, first of all, the assassination memo. 1:29:59.479 --> 1:30:01.519 After tom us and left Special Service, he began to 1:30:01.560 --> 1:30:05.200 write his books. Obviously, specially the Special Service was not 1:30:05.600 --> 1:30:09.320 really keen on this. They instigated still civil proceedings against 1:30:09.439 --> 1:30:13.240 him in nineteen to stop him publishing his book. He 1:30:13.400 --> 1:30:16.599 was ordered ordered to turn over his manuscript. Chapter eight 1:30:16.640 --> 1:30:20.000 of the manuscript talks about the assassination memo, and in 1:30:20.120 --> 1:30:23.280 that version of the manuscript it only discussed using a 1:30:23.360 --> 1:30:26.160 drive by shooting to kill Molosavik. That was a little 1:30:26.200 --> 1:30:32.320 different that was in ninete October nine seven, after the Desks, 1:30:32.840 --> 1:30:37.200 Thomason was arrested for official secrets acts offenses. His manuscript 1:30:37.280 --> 1:30:40.600 was seized again. Chapter eight again had a mention of 1:30:40.640 --> 1:30:42.519 the memo in there, but no mention of a plan 1:30:42.600 --> 1:30:45.240 to use blinding lights and tunnels to kill people. And 1:30:45.360 --> 1:30:48.719 then it made the following year in nineteen Thomlinson first 1:30:48.840 --> 1:30:53.480 met Mohammed al Fayod and then in August night Thomason 1:30:53.600 --> 1:31:00.240 changed his story. Yeah, yeah, they're actually yeah, the Rishan 1:31:00.280 --> 1:31:03.439 Patch actually was able to find that memo. It was 1:31:03.479 --> 1:31:07.360 written in and it did discuss the possible assassination of 1:31:07.400 --> 1:31:10.479 a certain Balkan extremist who was not Melissavik, but it 1:31:10.560 --> 1:31:13.080 didn't actually talk about it was only a justification for 1:31:13.200 --> 1:31:16.559 it as a as a way to pronounce to prevent 1:31:16.680 --> 1:31:19.599 genocide and acting cleansing and stuff like that, the sort 1:31:19.600 --> 1:31:22.799 of thing you want to prevent. Yeah, exactly. Although actually 1:31:22.840 --> 1:31:24.280 the guy who wrote it gotten a little bit of 1:31:24.320 --> 1:31:27.640 trouble for it. But but that was yeah, that was 1:31:27.720 --> 1:31:32.680 about it. He um uh. He talked about the justification 1:31:32.760 --> 1:31:34.720 for doing it, but he didn't actually touch on any 1:31:34.840 --> 1:31:39.439 methods at all for doing any assassination. So was there 1:31:39.479 --> 1:31:44.320 any support for a bright flash of light using a 1:31:44.400 --> 1:31:47.320 bright flash of light? And now Thomlinson claimed that he 1:31:47.400 --> 1:31:49.920 was showing lights the special strobes that were used by 1:31:49.920 --> 1:31:54.560 a Special Service to to to blind people in helicopters 1:31:54.640 --> 1:31:57.640 or whatever, and Special Services says no. And then and 1:31:57.720 --> 1:31:59.120 they also point out that by the way you can 1:31:59.160 --> 1:32:02.479 get powerful stroke was just about anywhere. Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, 1:32:03.000 --> 1:32:05.720 Thomlinson apparently was shown this memo and he really and 1:32:06.000 --> 1:32:08.680 he recognized and realized that was the one. And then 1:32:08.720 --> 1:32:10.160 he did a lot of this, actually did a lot 1:32:10.200 --> 1:32:13.400 of like sort of backpedaling showing the memo by operation 1:32:13.439 --> 1:32:16.120 Paget says, says, yeah, this is the one. I must 1:32:16.160 --> 1:32:19.080 have misremembered that part about the blinding flashing lights that 1:32:19.200 --> 1:32:24.519 killed people in tunnels, and so he took my recollection. Yeah, 1:32:25.800 --> 1:32:29.760 and again the blinding white flash. The most people don't 1:32:29.800 --> 1:32:32.439 recall seeing the blinding white flash. It was not that 1:32:32.560 --> 1:32:35.280 well supported that. One of the one of the witnesses 1:32:35.360 --> 1:32:37.240 you saw it was a guy named front suad to 1:32:37.280 --> 1:32:40.000 the Vista, who was in a car with his wife 1:32:40.040 --> 1:32:43.280 in the underpass ahead of the Mercedes, and he claimed 1:32:43.280 --> 1:32:45.240 he was seen a white flash in his rear view mirror. 1:32:45.400 --> 1:32:50.880 His wife did not, Well, passengers don't look at the 1:32:51.000 --> 1:32:53.880 rear view mirror. Yeah, but I also think that, you know, 1:32:53.960 --> 1:32:57.240 when I'm driving at night, if there's lights, sometimes the 1:32:57.360 --> 1:32:59.000 light will catch the mirror in a weird way and 1:32:59.080 --> 1:33:02.240 reflect into my eyes and I get really angry. I'm like, a, 1:33:02.520 --> 1:33:04.800 who's the jerk with the brides on behind me? And 1:33:04.840 --> 1:33:06.720 I'm like, oh, no, it was just they were going 1:33:06.760 --> 1:33:10.760 over a bump, if the car was losing control and 1:33:11.040 --> 1:33:17.920 veering weirdly. There's certainly a number of wide arc both 1:33:18.080 --> 1:33:21.320 horizontally and vertically that the headlights. It would have been 1:33:21.439 --> 1:33:23.880 really easy for it to just go real quick and 1:33:23.960 --> 1:33:27.920 it would have flashed into his face, easily explained as headlights. Right. 1:33:28.120 --> 1:33:30.880 And also there were paparazzi in there, Yeah, paparazzi with 1:33:30.920 --> 1:33:35.800 flashbulbs going off. Yeah. So that's about it for the 1:33:35.880 --> 1:33:38.360 white flash. I think a few other people reported it too, 1:33:38.479 --> 1:33:40.880 but it's still not that conclusive of the thing to 1:33:40.920 --> 1:33:44.479 begin with. As far as the two suspicious m I 1:33:44.560 --> 1:33:47.679 six guys at the British Embassy in Paris, I remember 1:33:47.680 --> 1:33:50.559 we talked about those minutes ago. Richard Spearman actually did 1:33:50.680 --> 1:33:53.719 arrive in Paris to begin a four year posting on August, 1:33:55.640 --> 1:33:59.080 so just four days before Diane Do showed up in Paris, 1:34:00.120 --> 1:34:03.800 but he had been appointed that position in August nine six, 1:34:03.920 --> 1:34:07.040 which was almost a year before Diane Doe started dating, 1:34:07.920 --> 1:34:10.640 and also in August when he arrived, nobody knew to 1:34:11.040 --> 1:34:13.719 Die and Doughtie were going to be showing up in Paris. Anyway, 1:34:13.800 --> 1:34:15.640 I don't think anybody really knew. I don't know that 1:34:15.680 --> 1:34:18.240 they necessarily planned it, No, I don't think. I don't 1:34:18.280 --> 1:34:21.240 think there was. There was talk that there were calls 1:34:21.360 --> 1:34:24.120 to the paparazzi when they were on their yacht, but 1:34:24.479 --> 1:34:27.040 that doesn't mean that there were calls to the rest 1:34:27.080 --> 1:34:29.519 of the world to tell everybody, Hey, this is where 1:34:29.560 --> 1:34:32.000 we're going, instead of hey, we're here, this is where 1:34:32.040 --> 1:34:35.479 we're at. Yeah, especially if you have private security. Yeah, 1:34:36.520 --> 1:34:38.560 so obviously you're gonna probably want to keep most of 1:34:38.600 --> 1:34:42.559 your move a secret, just for Wes Hassle factor. Let's 1:34:42.600 --> 1:34:45.240 remember the other shadowy diplomat who who came and went 1:34:45.400 --> 1:34:49.560 quickly before and after. His name was Nicholas Langman. He 1:34:49.680 --> 1:34:51.960 was recalled to London right after the accident he was 1:34:52.000 --> 1:34:54.880 only halfway through his four year posting. But actually he 1:34:54.960 --> 1:34:58.400 began his posting in Yeah, and he didn't go back 1:34:58.439 --> 1:35:03.160 to England until August nine after serving well four years, yeah, Augus, 1:35:03.960 --> 1:35:05.760 so he didn't leave the week after he left a 1:35:05.920 --> 1:35:12.680 year after a huge difference. Yeah, So let's move on 1:35:12.760 --> 1:35:16.160 to nre Paull. Was that my six informants and uh well, 1:35:16.320 --> 1:35:19.840 no searches of the Special Service databases and telegram communications 1:35:19.880 --> 1:35:22.120 found no mention of him. And they had ways when 1:35:22.120 --> 1:35:23.680 they were going through this stuff, they had fint they 1:35:23.720 --> 1:35:26.080 had ways to figure out if they're information was being 1:35:26.120 --> 1:35:29.479 withheld from them. This is again Operation Page. For example, 1:35:29.560 --> 1:35:33.479 the telegrams. The telegrams were all numbered sequentially and the 1:35:33.560 --> 1:35:36.560 sequence was unbroken, and so that's how they knew that 1:35:36.640 --> 1:35:39.000 nothing was being withheld. And they found no mention of 1:35:39.160 --> 1:35:43.120 nrepall except for one telegram dated November eighteenth and ninety seven, 1:35:43.200 --> 1:35:45.880 which was after his death. Yeah, and that was it, 1:35:46.920 --> 1:35:50.080 and you would maybe mention that, yeah, yeah you think, yeah, 1:35:50.280 --> 1:35:52.760 I could see his name coming up after the fact. Yeah. 1:35:53.600 --> 1:35:57.200 Any sense as as to the files that Thomason found 1:35:57.400 --> 1:35:59.760 that the head of security the risk was an informant 1:36:00.120 --> 1:36:03.400 as I mentioned previously, the operation that Thomason described actually 1:36:03.479 --> 1:36:06.040 did exist and he was actually part of that. But 1:36:06.360 --> 1:36:10.240 PEGE Operation Page went through the files and found no 1:36:10.400 --> 1:36:14.400 reference to anybody working at the REDS. Again, I think 1:36:14.479 --> 1:36:18.840 we've kind of we we already discredited that. Yeah, pretty much. 1:36:19.240 --> 1:36:23.800 So how about James Anderson, photographer the paparazzi though honestly, 1:36:23.840 --> 1:36:25.760 should say out of fairness and honestly was not a 1:36:25.840 --> 1:36:31.640 full time paparazzi, he actually did. He did so, yeah, paparazzo, 1:36:31.720 --> 1:36:34.240 You're right, I'm sorry, I forgive me. But he did 1:36:34.360 --> 1:36:36.800 like to go down, like you know, in August, he 1:36:36.840 --> 1:36:38.479 would go down to the south of France and to 1:36:38.560 --> 1:36:40.519 hang out there because there was money to be made 1:36:40.600 --> 1:36:43.560 taking pictures of celebrities. Also not a bad place to 1:36:43.640 --> 1:36:47.120 hang out. No, not at all. Did James Anderson worked 1:36:47.160 --> 1:36:49.599 for the Special Service? Did he? I don't know. Did 1:36:49.640 --> 1:36:52.000 he use his white fiata Uno to cause the crash? 1:36:52.120 --> 1:36:54.080 Did he have a white Fiato? No, as a matter 1:36:54.080 --> 1:36:57.120 of fact, he did. Ok. Yeah, it turns out was 1:36:57.200 --> 1:37:00.160 he murdered by the Special Service? I mean it's suspict us. 1:37:00.240 --> 1:37:04.519 He died in suspicious circumstances. Also, honest and work for 1:37:04.560 --> 1:37:09.320 a photography HC called CYPA, a Cyper press agency based 1:37:09.360 --> 1:37:12.960 in Paris, which was rated by masked gunmen several weeks 1:37:13.000 --> 1:37:14.920 after his death, and it took away all of his 1:37:15.000 --> 1:37:19.200 electronic equipment, laptops and stuff like that, and the French police, 1:37:19.240 --> 1:37:22.840 to top it off, didn't investigate the rate at all. Yeah, 1:37:22.920 --> 1:37:26.240 what's up with that? I mean that is a little weird. Yeah, yeah, 1:37:26.280 --> 1:37:29.160 it's all very suspicious. This is all good again stuff 1:37:29.200 --> 1:37:32.640 put out there by Muhammad fire. We're still I was 1:37:32.680 --> 1:37:34.840 gonna I'm gonna say, wait, we need to warn people. 1:37:35.320 --> 1:37:40.519 Joe is just flipped in back into purported theory section 1:37:40.720 --> 1:37:45.160 one of one possible theories. This is one thousand and 1:37:45.240 --> 1:37:49.200 one Arabian Nights. We just jumped into. Yeah, this is 1:37:49.560 --> 1:37:51.800 this is what what's being said. But we'll talk. We'll 1:37:51.800 --> 1:37:54.360 talk about the truth or not of it. Operation feget 1:37:54.479 --> 1:37:57.560 looked into Anderson Onesson excuse me, And at first of 1:37:57.640 --> 1:38:00.800 all they want to the database it's special service, and 1:38:00.880 --> 1:38:04.360 found nothing, uh, nothing in the files. He lived on 1:38:04.439 --> 1:38:08.920 a farm with his kids and his wife in Lina's 1:38:09.320 --> 1:38:12.479 It looks like it's spelled like lignieris, but it's actually 1:38:13.080 --> 1:38:17.960 pronounced Lina. Yeah, it's friends, it's out in seventy seven 1:38:18.160 --> 1:38:21.479 miles south of Paris as the crow flies. He returned 1:38:21.520 --> 1:38:23.120 from the south of France to the family farm and 1:38:23.600 --> 1:38:26.719 farm in August, according to his diary and also courting 1:38:26.800 --> 1:38:29.360 what his wife said, and then on the thirtieth he 1:38:29.479 --> 1:38:31.320 was at home then went to bed early because he 1:38:31.320 --> 1:38:32.640 had to get up early to catch a flight to 1:38:32.800 --> 1:38:38.680 Corsica for a photography. His wife documented this. She corroborated it. 1:38:39.000 --> 1:38:41.960 He had to drive up to Orly airport. His road. 1:38:42.280 --> 1:38:45.120 His drive up was on toll roads, so it was 1:38:45.200 --> 1:38:48.120 documented because he paid by credit card. He ended the 1:38:48.160 --> 1:38:51.080 toll road at Burgs near his home, and then exited 1:38:51.120 --> 1:38:54.639 the road at am, about thirty miles from early airport, 1:38:55.000 --> 1:38:58.840 and then bought a plane ticket to Corsica. Am So 1:38:59.200 --> 1:39:02.840 conceivably he could have used his his and he was 1:39:02.920 --> 1:39:07.040 driving his a BMW. He wasn't driving the Yeah, the 1:39:07.120 --> 1:39:08.680 un that was in bad shape. Ack, I was going 1:39:08.720 --> 1:39:13.280 to say the yeah, I heard it was undable. It 1:39:13.439 --> 1:39:16.600 was a garbage car. Yeah, So it could have conceivably 1:39:16.680 --> 1:39:19.639 driven out to Paris Costa, the wreck, driven back down 1:39:19.840 --> 1:39:21.960 all the way to home, picked up is his beamer 1:39:22.200 --> 1:39:24.120 and then driven back north again. It would make for 1:39:24.160 --> 1:39:26.800 a long night. Also, his wife would have been a 1:39:26.920 --> 1:39:33.160 really really heavy sleeper lying yeah to not notice that. Yeah. Yeah, 1:39:33.960 --> 1:39:37.000 but there's a lot of emphasis placed on onon sentence 1:39:37.120 --> 1:39:40.920 in these theories. Yeah, he's easy and easy scapegoat though, 1:39:41.200 --> 1:39:44.160 especially since he's dead now and he died under what 1:39:44.360 --> 1:39:50.200 people call suspicious circumstances. I don't think are you don't know, No, 1:39:50.800 --> 1:39:55.400 I don't think doing the research, don't think they're exactly suspicious. 1:39:56.439 --> 1:39:58.240 I mean, if you look at on the wiki page, 1:39:58.760 --> 1:40:02.439 it looks pretty hanky. But I found out the wicked 1:40:02.439 --> 1:40:06.560 pages all wrong. Yeah, big time wrong. Yes, this is 1:40:06.800 --> 1:40:12.439 why I love Wikipedia, but it's not the end all beyond. Yeah. Alright, 1:40:12.520 --> 1:40:15.160 So so there's one stick, a stick through the heart 1:40:15.240 --> 1:40:18.640 there of or someone nail in the coffin. That's a 1:40:18.680 --> 1:40:21.439 better way to put it. One nail in the coffin. 1:40:21.600 --> 1:40:24.360 Is is that you can knock him pretty much pretty 1:40:24.400 --> 1:40:26.559 much document that he was not in Paris that night. 1:40:26.920 --> 1:40:29.599 I think through the tole World receipt receipts and all 1:40:29.640 --> 1:40:33.320 that stuff, and his wife's testimony, also all the all 1:40:33.360 --> 1:40:36.400 the paparazzi at the Ritz don't remember, did not remember 1:40:36.439 --> 1:40:39.240 seeing him there. Again, it's a clote knit, close knit 1:40:39.320 --> 1:40:41.920 grow Yeah, you would think they would know. Yeah. Yeah. 1:40:42.200 --> 1:40:44.439 One of the photographers, a guy named Fan Van Sue 1:40:45.280 --> 1:40:49.519 of Paparazzi. It's told Paget quote. If and it should 1:40:49.520 --> 1:40:51.439 have been working in Paris that night, I would have known. 1:40:51.560 --> 1:40:53.520 He is not the kind of person to go unnoticed, 1:40:54.120 --> 1:40:56.320 apparently and or honest and excuse me. It was a 1:40:56.360 --> 1:40:59.960 well known photographer. Also, they went to the closed circuit 1:41:00.000 --> 1:41:02.960 TV footage of the crowd in front of the hotel 1:41:03.040 --> 1:41:05.719 and he didn't show up. Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't there. 1:41:06.000 --> 1:41:08.040 So but the white you know, the white yeah, the 1:41:08.080 --> 1:41:09.880 white you know, let's talk about it's like kind of 1:41:09.880 --> 1:41:13.160 like the white rhino, yeah, or the white buffalo. Yeah, 1:41:13.200 --> 1:41:15.400 the white you know. There was a guy who was 1:41:16.280 --> 1:41:19.760 in the underpass or the tunnel if you like it, 1:41:19.880 --> 1:41:21.400 not the guy I talked about before we saw there 1:41:21.479 --> 1:41:24.720 was the blinding white flash and George does on he 1:41:24.840 --> 1:41:26.560 was in a car in the under pass and he 1:41:26.760 --> 1:41:30.280 was he apparently I don't know if he was passed. 1:41:30.600 --> 1:41:32.479 I guess he was overtaken by the you know, he 1:41:32.600 --> 1:41:35.479 was going in the same direction going in the same direction. Yeah, 1:41:35.520 --> 1:41:38.640 the un was swerving and driving slowly and kind of 1:41:38.720 --> 1:41:41.559 driving erratically. What's would make sense if you've just been 1:41:41.600 --> 1:41:45.400 in this near deadly crash and you've just also, um, 1:41:45.640 --> 1:41:48.439 what's the word hit and run, you've like left the 1:41:48.439 --> 1:41:51.120 scene him in a serious accident. Yeah, you're you're you're 1:41:51.320 --> 1:41:55.240 on the run. Yeah, So passing the car, saw the driver. 1:41:55.280 --> 1:41:57.720 The driver was white and male, short brown hair. Uh. 1:41:57.840 --> 1:41:59.719 And there was a large dog in the rear seat 1:41:59.800 --> 1:42:03.320 maybe and all station or a black lamb. Yeah, but okay, 1:42:03.600 --> 1:42:06.479 I guess, like in fairness just to like butt in there. 1:42:07.040 --> 1:42:11.000 The Fiat couldn't have been already involved in the crash, 1:42:11.120 --> 1:42:14.360 right if these people were reporting this, because then they 1:42:14.360 --> 1:42:17.479 would have stopped to help with the crash after the crash, 1:42:17.720 --> 1:42:22.200 after the crash, after the crash, after different these people reported. 1:42:22.280 --> 1:42:25.160 These people reported seeing this car after the crash, after 1:42:25.360 --> 1:42:28.120 coming out of the coming out of the They were 1:42:28.160 --> 1:42:29.720 coming up and out of the tunnel on this and 1:42:29.880 --> 1:42:33.879 they saw this car. And yeah, I know the timeline 1:42:33.960 --> 1:42:35.479 is a little wonky for me, but okay, it is 1:42:35.479 --> 1:42:37.840 a little walky. Well that's probably again we've talked about 1:42:37.880 --> 1:42:41.559 the time the timeline is hard to hang on. Yeah, okay, 1:42:41.800 --> 1:42:45.240 so large dog in the back, Yeah, large dog in 1:42:45.280 --> 1:42:48.040 the back. His wife, Sabine, tells a little differently. She says, 1:42:48.080 --> 1:42:50.320 they were overtaken by the way you know what swerve 1:42:50.520 --> 1:42:53.599 was swerving and nearly hit them, and then it slowed 1:42:53.640 --> 1:42:57.000 down and then they passed the car. Was actually kind 1:42:57.000 --> 1:42:58.439 of makes a little bit of sense. They got they 1:42:58.479 --> 1:43:00.479 got past the rack and they were jetting out of there, 1:43:00.560 --> 1:43:04.360 and then, you know, and at the meantime, drivers looking 1:43:04.400 --> 1:43:07.040 in his rear view mirror seeing what's going on behind him, 1:43:07.560 --> 1:43:10.040 you know which, and then it realizes, oh, I'm going 1:43:10.080 --> 1:43:12.240 too fast and hits the brakes and slows way down. 1:43:13.000 --> 1:43:16.360 So I don't want to draw exactly exactly, so he 1:43:16.439 --> 1:43:20.080 panics and then gets it under control. They so they 1:43:20.120 --> 1:43:22.519 passed him again and again. She noticed that to her 1:43:22.800 --> 1:43:24.720 description of the driver was a little different. But she 1:43:24.800 --> 1:43:26.439 also noticed it was a big dog in the back 1:43:26.520 --> 1:43:28.960 with a long nose, and she's thinking maybe a German shepherd. 1:43:29.560 --> 1:43:33.240 But the the Anderson's James, and excuse me, the ands 1:43:33.520 --> 1:43:36.439 James Anderson did have a dog, a golden lab which 1:43:36.520 --> 1:43:38.439 is probably say the same as what we call it 1:43:38.560 --> 1:43:41.640 a yellow lab I think so, yeah, yeah, but she 1:43:41.720 --> 1:43:45.160 never took on assignments where the goldie has longer hair 1:43:45.280 --> 1:43:49.040 than a yellow but basically the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. 1:43:49.240 --> 1:43:53.920 So you know, if there was an in the tunnel, 1:43:53.920 --> 1:43:55.960 and apparently there was, it does not appear to have 1:43:56.000 --> 1:43:59.559 been James Andenson's, you know. Yeah. Well, anyway, as as 1:43:59.640 --> 1:44:02.080 befit any vehicle that's used in the Hit of the century, 1:44:02.160 --> 1:44:06.799 that yeah, that on this Dandison family owned was traded 1:44:06.840 --> 1:44:08.840 in on another car, rather than being sent to the 1:44:08.880 --> 1:44:12.920 bottom of a river, right, because obviously it was involved. Yeah, obviously. Yeah, 1:44:12.960 --> 1:44:15.640 their son James Anderson Junior needed a car in the 1:44:15.720 --> 1:44:19.000 local Fiat deal. There was offering five thousand francs for 1:44:19.320 --> 1:44:22.360 any Fi trade in any any even even a total 1:44:22.439 --> 1:44:25.519 piece of junk. They would not, yeah, exactly, And so 1:44:26.080 --> 1:44:27.920 they thought, hey, we've got this piece of crap in 1:44:27.960 --> 1:44:32.439 our barn and our farm yard not worth five thousand francs. Yeah. 1:44:32.479 --> 1:44:34.360 It barely ran it and they mostly used it to 1:44:34.400 --> 1:44:36.640 hall trash from the house up to the gate of 1:44:36.720 --> 1:44:38.320 the farm which was about a quarter mile away, and 1:44:38.360 --> 1:44:40.400 that was because it was all thrashed on the inside. 1:44:40.840 --> 1:44:44.120 Was a terrible car to learn to drive in James, 1:44:44.240 --> 1:44:47.439 go go go take the trash down the road. But 1:44:47.840 --> 1:44:49.759 then I don't know how to drive. Well you can't 1:44:51.479 --> 1:44:55.120 just take that car? Yeah yeah. And then dad years 1:44:55.200 --> 1:44:57.639 later it's like, God, you're such a terrible driver. Well 1:44:57.760 --> 1:45:01.960 you look what you taught me in trash car. So 1:45:02.080 --> 1:45:04.439 back to Honeston in his farm in his car. The 1:45:04.960 --> 1:45:08.920 French police somebody dropped a dime on Drain and James Anderson. 1:45:09.240 --> 1:45:14.240 In February, they got an anonymous tip that James Anderson 1:45:14.320 --> 1:45:21.560 was secretly a Jetty and Joe out. The police in 1:45:21.800 --> 1:45:26.360 February received an anonymous tip that Anderson was the owner 1:45:26.400 --> 1:45:29.720 of the owner of a white Fiat you know, which 1:45:29.800 --> 1:45:33.360 is suspicious apparently. Yeah. Yeah. Confronted by police, Anderson was 1:45:33.400 --> 1:45:35.439 evasive and sneaky and told them that he traded the 1:45:35.520 --> 1:45:39.040 car in and where he traded it in. Yeah, super sneaky. Yeah, 1:45:39.439 --> 1:45:42.519 look like no time at all. Yeah, it's telling that 1:45:42.600 --> 1:45:45.000 it took him like a fifteen seconds to run the 1:45:45.040 --> 1:45:48.759 truth out of him. Yeah. They attracted to the garaguate 1:45:48.840 --> 1:45:50.880 to be traded in and notably they hadn't sold it 1:45:50.960 --> 1:45:55.200 yet because they were about to. Yeah, and they were 1:45:55.200 --> 1:45:57.320 able to examine it it was in very poor condition, 1:45:57.800 --> 1:46:00.040 which was confirmed by the Anderson family and also of 1:46:00.080 --> 1:46:02.519 their neighbors, who confirmed that the car was a piece 1:46:02.560 --> 1:46:06.600 of crab. They checked out closely the left rear of 1:46:06.720 --> 1:46:10.640 the car and it was mostly pretty much undamaged. So 1:46:10.960 --> 1:46:13.160 if they had been side swapped by the Mercedes, that 1:46:13.200 --> 1:46:15.439 would have been a really really light side swipe, enough 1:46:15.479 --> 1:46:17.720 to leave some some paint traces, but not enough to 1:46:17.760 --> 1:46:23.240 actually crunch anything. And that's a lucky grazing because if anybody, 1:46:23.280 --> 1:46:28.160 anybody who's been in a vehicle collision, yeah, that is 1:46:28.560 --> 1:46:31.719 like going at one mile an hour through a parking 1:46:31.920 --> 1:46:36.280 lot speed to just barely scrape paint. That's oops. I 1:46:36.439 --> 1:46:40.040 accidentally didn't turn the wheel hard enough when I was parking. Yeah, 1:46:40.360 --> 1:46:44.479 not a I'm doing seventy and I just went next 1:46:44.520 --> 1:46:46.920 to you. I never knew it. The thing about it 1:46:47.080 --> 1:46:49.559 is is, you know I forgot the left tail light 1:46:49.720 --> 1:46:53.240 was broken in the tunnel, which I don't. I don't 1:46:53.280 --> 1:46:55.320 see how you can whisk by somebody and just barely 1:46:55.400 --> 1:46:57.600 touch him, leave a little paint and still break the 1:46:57.680 --> 1:47:07.599 tail light. Diana obvious had a hammer interview. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1:47:07.680 --> 1:47:12.280 I had had a well known hatred of fuel. Yeah. Yeah, 1:47:13.600 --> 1:47:15.840 the tail I had been replaced, although it was not 1:47:15.960 --> 1:47:20.759 a new replacement. It hadn't been done recently at all. Also, 1:47:21.000 --> 1:47:23.479 it appeared that that bat fender from from the look 1:47:23.520 --> 1:47:25.879 of it, had had it had not been replaced. Apparently 1:47:25.960 --> 1:47:29.639 there are tell tale marks if you replace an entire 1:47:29.760 --> 1:47:31.720 fender of a car that marks were left in place. 1:47:31.800 --> 1:47:34.760 I have no idea, but yeah, well, most most body 1:47:34.840 --> 1:47:40.040 panels on older cars were pre painted before they were installed, 1:47:41.000 --> 1:47:44.960 so it's not old paint. So when you, you know, 1:47:45.160 --> 1:47:47.240 use the screws and the bolts to lock it in, 1:47:48.240 --> 1:47:52.000 that's gonna leave an impression in that new paint. I've 1:47:52.000 --> 1:47:53.960 actually done this. I pulled the body panel off of 1:47:54.000 --> 1:47:57.840 a car and the paint you could actually see where 1:47:57.960 --> 1:48:02.840 it had been impressed, the washers and stuff. So that 1:48:02.920 --> 1:48:06.120 makes total sense to me. Yeah. Yeah, and so that 1:48:06.720 --> 1:48:10.560 it had been repainted but at some point, but scratches 1:48:10.680 --> 1:48:12.960 and where indicated it. It was repainted a long time 1:48:12.960 --> 1:48:17.960 before August seven, probably rattal can Paigne job. Yeah. And 1:48:18.040 --> 1:48:21.599 according to the the original French police report, the paint 1:48:21.640 --> 1:48:25.120 sample they took from the UNO did not actually correspond 1:48:25.240 --> 1:48:27.760 to the white paint found on the Mercedes, although it's 1:48:27.800 --> 1:48:33.200 from from Andensen's from ye. Just to clarify, so it 1:48:33.280 --> 1:48:36.439 wasn't wasn't exactly a strictly from from there from there 1:48:36.439 --> 1:48:41.200 annalysis indicated it wasn't strictly a factory Okay, it wasn't. Yeah, 1:48:41.600 --> 1:48:45.040 although another outfit called l GC Forensics review the evidence 1:48:45.080 --> 1:48:48.040 and they came to the conclusion that they can't tell 1:48:48.080 --> 1:48:51.320 one way or another. So they came to the conclusion 1:48:51.400 --> 1:48:56.559 that it was inconclusive exactly exactly dramatic and also ones 1:48:56.640 --> 1:49:01.599 and appeared apparently in TV documentary and behind the wheel 1:49:01.640 --> 1:49:03.400 of his white you know, and I don't know what 1:49:03.520 --> 1:49:06.200 the point of the I guess you wanted to talk about. 1:49:06.320 --> 1:49:08.320 You talked about how we've gotten so many miles out 1:49:08.360 --> 1:49:13.120 of yeah, like a propagand but craput like one does 1:49:13.160 --> 1:49:17.360 with a Subaru these days. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, I'm a 1:49:17.560 --> 1:49:23.880 super commercial with three hundred billion miles. Yeah. So the 1:49:25.120 --> 1:49:27.800 you know, my conclusion is that makes nothing but nothing 1:49:27.840 --> 1:49:30.160 but good sense to use your own car, registered in 1:49:30.280 --> 1:49:32.160 your own name, and what you have created in a 1:49:32.240 --> 1:49:35.240 documentary as part of an assassination plot that might be 1:49:35.360 --> 1:49:40.680 sarcasm for the listeners that have been missing our sarcasm. 1:49:41.560 --> 1:49:45.439 Please understand that was sarcasm. Yeah. I think the reason 1:49:45.600 --> 1:49:50.439 that Joe is bringing this particular instance up though, is 1:49:50.560 --> 1:49:55.400 because the world went crazy about him later. Oh yeah, 1:49:55.560 --> 1:49:58.599 because he died. Yeah, he did die later on. We'll 1:49:58.600 --> 1:50:00.840 talking about that in a minute. But you know, there 1:50:00.880 --> 1:50:04.160 were like more than eight million of those things, million 1:50:04.200 --> 1:50:10.519 of these things made. Yeah, it's yeah Europe, and in 1:50:10.640 --> 1:50:15.200 that time, white cars were pretty popular. Yeah. Also, you know, 1:50:15.280 --> 1:50:17.120 it was a really tiny car. If you're going to 1:50:17.160 --> 1:50:20.599 going out and and like running a big Mercedes City 1:50:20.640 --> 1:50:23.240 and off the road, it's probably wouldn't be your first choice. Huh. 1:50:24.400 --> 1:50:30.679 Lightweight vehicle hitting a super heavy vehicle makes no sense muchoever. Yeah, 1:50:31.240 --> 1:50:33.360 and let's not forget the presence of the black dog 1:50:33.520 --> 1:50:35.080 that was in the real and it was seen at 1:50:35.120 --> 1:50:40.200 the scene, you know, but yeah, yeah, obvious it was 1:50:40.240 --> 1:50:42.280 the dog. It was too And let's not forget the 1:50:42.320 --> 1:50:46.960 stupid general unlikely unlikelihood that that onson could possibly have 1:50:47.080 --> 1:50:48.880 known that they were going to be coming down through 1:50:49.000 --> 1:50:51.960 that underpass, that tunnel at that particular time. I think 1:50:52.000 --> 1:50:55.760 it's bunk. Yeah, it's all bunk. But there's more more 1:50:56.040 --> 1:50:59.040 coursers and more suspicious stuff. You died in May two 1:50:59.120 --> 1:51:01.360 thousand in a car fire. The police ruled that it 1:51:01.439 --> 1:51:03.920 was a suicide based on evidence and on statements that 1:51:03.960 --> 1:51:06.360 he had made to various people about how he'd killed 1:51:06.400 --> 1:51:10.320 himself under certain certain circumstances. Land ghastly had been poured 1:51:10.360 --> 1:51:12.439 into the interior of the car and lit. The fire 1:51:12.560 --> 1:51:14.840 was so intense that his head separated from the rest 1:51:14.880 --> 1:51:17.840 of his body. Yeah, I know. There was a hole 1:51:17.880 --> 1:51:19.640 in a hole in his skull that appeared to be 1:51:19.680 --> 1:51:23.439 from a bullet. Uh. And most mysteriously of all, the 1:51:23.560 --> 1:51:27.520 car was locked, but the keys were nowhere to be found. Dune. 1:51:28.800 --> 1:51:31.720 Oh wait, is that the Wikipedia bunk that that, yes, 1:51:31.760 --> 1:51:34.760 that's one of them had actually cited this mysterious death 1:51:34.840 --> 1:51:36.840 as a reason I believe there was a conspiracy to 1:51:36.920 --> 1:51:39.920 kill a diean Dody that he was either murdered to 1:51:39.960 --> 1:51:42.640 shut him up, or he killed himself because he was 1:51:42.720 --> 1:51:45.920 just guilty. As far as the keys not being anywhere 1:51:45.960 --> 1:51:48.519 at evidence, well, I couldn't find any evidence that's true. 1:51:48.720 --> 1:51:51.919 It is not in the inquest report, and even Muhammad 1:51:51.920 --> 1:51:55.160 Alphaia didn't say that. So that tells you something, right there. 1:51:55.840 --> 1:51:59.240 Somebody tack this one on your mystery. Even didn't say 1:51:59.600 --> 1:52:05.600 also keys are metal and drove the car there. Well, no, 1:52:05.960 --> 1:52:08.600 if I had brought this up, because he drove the 1:52:08.760 --> 1:52:12.400 car to the location and then the keys weren't there, 1:52:12.560 --> 1:52:16.920 So he's using that as evidence to say, obviously he 1:52:17.000 --> 1:52:22.400 didn't drive himself there and somebody who staged this forgot 1:52:22.600 --> 1:52:25.000 to leave the keys in the car. I was just 1:52:25.040 --> 1:52:27.560 gonna say keys are metal, and like metal melt and 1:52:27.720 --> 1:52:30.800 fire or whatever or I'm sorry, you know, I know 1:52:30.920 --> 1:52:34.040 we're gonna go into this. But if somebody standing outside 1:52:34.080 --> 1:52:36.040 the car and they're having a bad day and they're 1:52:36.040 --> 1:52:40.840 thinking about ending everything, and we've all seen people do this, 1:52:41.040 --> 1:52:45.280 they get mad and they throw something which happens to 1:52:45.400 --> 1:52:50.479 be the damn car keys and they land in all bush, Yeah, 1:52:50.800 --> 1:52:53.599 then no wonder they're not located. Yeah, let's talk about 1:52:53.600 --> 1:52:56.280 the Actually, it also could be that he was just 1:52:56.479 --> 1:52:58.720 there and he lost his car keys. He got back 1:52:58.720 --> 1:53:01.280 to the car, which is unlocked personally, but he couldn't 1:53:01.320 --> 1:53:03.040 start the car, so he decided to kill him. So 1:53:03.200 --> 1:53:07.320 I actually do not believe that's the case, based on 1:53:07.479 --> 1:53:12.200 everything we've got. Yeah, yeah, the whole well that was 1:53:12.360 --> 1:53:14.600 there was a de sercized hole in his skull, but 1:53:15.040 --> 1:53:17.600 it wasn't bullet shaped or around or anything like that. 1:53:18.000 --> 1:53:23.400 And actually the medical examiner didn't find any slug, no 1:53:23.600 --> 1:53:25.960 bullet in his in his skull or anywhere in his body, 1:53:26.600 --> 1:53:29.040 and none was found in the car itself either. And 1:53:29.240 --> 1:53:32.920 also there was natural processes by which this could happen. 1:53:33.800 --> 1:53:36.519 Due to the intense heat, you get pressure build up 1:53:36.560 --> 1:53:38.840 inside the skull and they can Actually I'm guessing the 1:53:38.920 --> 1:53:46.040 hole was in the temple, yeah region. Yeah. Uh. In 1:53:46.080 --> 1:53:48.880 the suicide by emilation I think is a bit unusual. Yeah, 1:53:50.200 --> 1:53:52.880 especially in a car. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you know, 1:53:52.920 --> 1:53:54.920 if I were going to kill myself, I would probably 1:53:55.000 --> 1:53:56.519 duct tape a grenade in my head and pull the 1:53:56.600 --> 1:54:01.519 pin and then go through dope. Nope, no, we're not 1:54:01.600 --> 1:54:06.400 gonna go there. Okay, but still it's not unheard of. 1:54:06.520 --> 1:54:08.360 I mean, people do kill themselves in all kinds of 1:54:08.520 --> 1:54:12.559 interesting ways. They do. Yeah, they in the medical examiner 1:54:12.600 --> 1:54:14.639 found those signs of violence. There were no tire tracks 1:54:14.680 --> 1:54:17.439 in the area besides on the since BMW's tire tracks. 1:54:17.840 --> 1:54:20.000 His credit card was used that afternoon in the gas 1:54:20.080 --> 1:54:23.120 station nearby to buy six hundred and eight franc's worth 1:54:23.280 --> 1:54:27.080 of fuel, which police concluded that was more than was 1:54:27.200 --> 1:54:29.680 necessary to fill the tank of the car. So it 1:54:29.720 --> 1:54:32.080 looks like he feeled filled up maybe a fuel tank 1:54:32.440 --> 1:54:35.520 or a couple of fuel can or a couple of 1:54:35.560 --> 1:54:37.960 gas cans. A witnesses who had seen him in the 1:54:38.040 --> 1:54:39.920 area said they saw him in the car. They didn't 1:54:39.920 --> 1:54:42.200 see anybody but him in the car. When he left 1:54:42.360 --> 1:54:44.720 him that day, he left behind things that normally he 1:54:44.760 --> 1:54:47.760 would have taken, like his cell phone, as watch, his wallet, 1:54:48.120 --> 1:54:51.640 is that tchet case? And that same day he posted 1:54:51.680 --> 1:54:56.840 a letter to his employer, Cyper Press, asking that all 1:54:56.880 --> 1:54:59.720 of the photographic royalties be put in his wife's name. So, 1:55:00.080 --> 1:55:02.520 like a suicide sounds kind of suicidal to me, And 1:55:02.960 --> 1:55:04.360 I'm not going to go in a great detail, but 1:55:04.480 --> 1:55:08.480 fellow photographers and friends and told stories about how he 1:55:08.600 --> 1:55:11.400 had said, good, you know, if something happened to my family, 1:55:11.440 --> 1:55:14.000 I would kill myself by pouring gas all over myself. 1:55:14.080 --> 1:55:16.280 Another one said, you know, I blow myself up in 1:55:16.360 --> 1:55:19.320 my car. So there were a lot of people testified 1:55:19.360 --> 1:55:22.640 that he talked suicide. He talked a lot. This was 1:55:22.800 --> 1:55:26.200 his choice. Yeah, And this is another thing that Wikipedia 1:55:26.360 --> 1:55:28.240 kind of gets wrong. He says that his wife and 1:55:28.360 --> 1:55:31.480 kids don't believe his death was suicide to this day. 1:55:31.600 --> 1:55:33.640 And then no, that's not true. I mean I read 1:55:33.720 --> 1:55:37.440 I read in the inquest they at least his wife 1:55:37.920 --> 1:55:40.320 excepts that he killed himself. She seems to believe it. 1:55:40.720 --> 1:55:43.200 And lastly, the last mysterious thing that happened is he 1:55:43.400 --> 1:55:47.200 just you know, the special services was involved, of course, 1:55:47.240 --> 1:55:49.920 as I said, he was affiliated with Cyperpress agency. In Paris. 1:55:50.800 --> 1:55:53.080 Six weeks after the death, there was an armed robbery. 1:55:53.120 --> 1:55:55.000 There were three men in masks who went to the 1:55:55.080 --> 1:55:59.320 offices and stole all the electronic equipment that Onensen kept there. Again, 1:55:59.360 --> 1:56:03.360 as I said, the French police declined to investigate. Yeah, suspicious, 1:56:03.440 --> 1:56:11.000 it's a bit suspicious that that accusation is a little suspicious. Absolutely, yeah, 1:56:11.120 --> 1:56:14.800 no it's not. It's it's totally true. If I didn't investigate, 1:56:14.840 --> 1:56:19.760 you mean as did investigate and arrested three people. So yeah, 1:56:19.800 --> 1:56:24.800 they investigated. These guys committed serial robberies like this. Also 1:56:24.880 --> 1:56:28.160 honestly didn't keep anything in sight except for some archive photographs. 1:56:28.240 --> 1:56:31.480 He didn't leave his laptop or anything else there and 1:56:31.560 --> 1:56:33.880 so none of that was stolen, all right, Yeah, they 1:56:33.920 --> 1:56:36.240 stole a bunch of other other laptops, but not nothing 1:56:36.280 --> 1:56:37.840 that belonged to on his and and the owner of 1:56:37.920 --> 1:56:42.360 the company told CBS News some years later that he 1:56:42.480 --> 1:56:44.400 thought the real purpose of the robbery is to find 1:56:44.440 --> 1:56:48.320 compromising photos of a French celebrity who didn't de decline 1:56:48.320 --> 1:56:54.840 the name. I assume it's Johnny Depp. Yeah. Yeah, he 1:56:54.960 --> 1:56:56.920 thinks that that was the main focus and that the 1:56:57.000 --> 1:57:00.840 rest was just a crime of opportunity. Okay, you go. Well, 1:57:00.880 --> 1:57:03.520 so anyway, that's pretty much it for the Royal family. 1:57:03.600 --> 1:57:06.920 To sum it up, the whole Royal family had a 1:57:07.080 --> 1:57:10.320 murdered theory and all many many aspects. But silly, isn't 1:57:10.360 --> 1:57:15.560 It doesn't quite hold up. Yeah, I don't know. Well, 1:57:15.600 --> 1:57:19.680 that's enough of the I think the Royal family. I think, 1:57:19.680 --> 1:57:21.920 you know, we've exonerated the Royal family, or at least 1:57:22.080 --> 1:57:24.720 in special service and m I six and all that stuff. 1:57:25.800 --> 1:57:28.360 The next theory that we're going to go into, which 1:57:28.480 --> 1:57:34.760 is probably the most popular theory, is that Enri Paul 1:57:35.080 --> 1:57:38.120 was drunk. But when I wrote this out, I put 1:57:38.200 --> 1:57:41.520 a question mark at the end of that statement because 1:57:42.280 --> 1:57:46.040 I'm not a hundred percent sure. Yeah, we're both kind 1:57:46.120 --> 1:57:49.040 of we kind of tag team this one. We really did, 1:57:49.480 --> 1:57:52.000 and we'll continue to tag team it. But I think 1:57:52.080 --> 1:57:55.320 we're both on the same page of question mark yes, 1:57:55.840 --> 1:58:01.320 because according to all the official documents, he was super 1:58:01.640 --> 1:58:09.040 drunk and prescription drust, right, yeah, and that's why he 1:58:09.240 --> 1:58:13.560 crashed the car. So it's he's completely at fall. Well, 1:58:13.640 --> 1:58:16.720 when you like, when you google the death of Princess Diana, 1:58:16.920 --> 1:58:20.640 the first thing comes up is manslaughter by negligent driving 1:58:20.840 --> 1:58:26.000 on repall that the official verdict is that he murdered them, 1:58:26.520 --> 1:58:30.520 And well, we're going to go into all this. You know, 1:58:30.600 --> 1:58:32.800 he was sort of he was off duty, as we 1:58:32.840 --> 1:58:34.760 said earlier. You know, it's like I don't really blame 1:58:34.840 --> 1:58:36.480 the guy even if you had been drinking, you know, 1:58:36.640 --> 1:58:39.680 because well but I also I questioned a lot of 1:58:39.720 --> 1:58:42.080 it because of the timeline. But let's let's go into 1:58:42.200 --> 1:58:46.120 some of the official official doctrine here. According to the 1:58:46.400 --> 1:58:50.240 French investigation, the blood samples that were taken from his 1:58:50.400 --> 1:58:54.919 body showed a B a C A blood alcohol content 1:58:55.520 --> 1:59:00.400 of point one seven legal limit in America's like point four, 1:59:00.520 --> 1:59:09.440 isn't it I it's I think, oh eight is kind 1:59:09.480 --> 1:59:16.920 of typical. So that's more than twice three times the limit. 1:59:17.480 --> 1:59:21.040 So I think point six or point oh six is 1:59:21.160 --> 1:59:24.040 the limit there. So yeah, that's three times the drunk. 1:59:24.400 --> 1:59:28.360 You have either of you known anybody who was pulled 1:59:28.400 --> 1:59:33.440 over and got the your over the limit? Joe, Yeah, 1:59:33.640 --> 1:59:36.080 I have. I've seen friends who left and then got 1:59:36.160 --> 1:59:44.120 pulled over and they were pits drunk, completely stagger fall 1:59:44.240 --> 1:59:47.960 down drunk, and they were at the limits. So this 1:59:48.240 --> 1:59:54.040 is saying that he was I use upper case letters 1:59:54.160 --> 2:00:01.920 for this super drong puper abs literally obscenely drunk. I 2:00:02.080 --> 2:00:05.240 have problems with that. Yeah, me too, But let's keep going. 2:00:05.440 --> 2:00:07.400 We'll we'll leave that be for the moment. We'll get 2:00:07.440 --> 2:00:09.520 into it a minute. The other thing that they find 2:00:09.600 --> 2:00:13.360 when they do his blood screen or blood talks is 2:00:13.440 --> 2:00:17.640 they also find it is an extremely, an unusually high 2:00:17.720 --> 2:00:23.000 amount of carbon monoxide in his blood, which is weird 2:00:23.560 --> 2:00:29.040 and really kind of hard to pin down. Initially attributed 2:00:29.080 --> 2:00:32.200 it to a number of factors. One they said he 2:00:32.360 --> 2:00:35.000 was in an underground tunnel, which is the dumbest thing 2:00:35.040 --> 2:00:37.920 I ever heard, because he died on impact. But a 2:00:38.000 --> 2:00:39.680 lot of other people say, you know, he lived in 2:00:39.800 --> 2:00:44.720 a densely populated area, it was pollution, right, But that's 2:00:44.720 --> 2:00:47.200 also dumb, because then everybody else who lives in Paris 2:00:47.280 --> 2:00:50.080 should have the same carbon monoxide level in their blood, 2:00:50.120 --> 2:00:52.480 and then it shouldn't be above average. This should be 2:00:52.480 --> 2:00:55.040 a little higher though, because he smokes cigars. He did, 2:00:55.400 --> 2:00:58.800 and we'll talk about that, but you know that that 2:00:59.000 --> 2:01:03.960 wouldn't put him added unusually high for the average median 2:01:04.640 --> 2:01:10.160 if he lives in an urban setting Paris or and 2:01:10.560 --> 2:01:14.920 so everybody there should have approximately the same level. So 2:01:15.080 --> 2:01:19.520 that's the baseline. He should be a little above, not 2:01:19.880 --> 2:01:24.880 extremely high. Blood work on anybody else in the car, No, 2:01:25.480 --> 2:01:27.480 I'm not that I ever saw. I mean, he was 2:01:27.560 --> 2:01:31.560 the driver, so he was obviously it'd be interesting to 2:01:31.600 --> 2:01:35.040 see what the carabon monoxide levels were for everybody else 2:01:35.080 --> 2:01:37.520 in the car, would wouldn't it. But that's the problem 2:01:37.640 --> 2:01:40.960 right with Diana being involved. You lose all that blood 2:01:41.000 --> 2:01:43.280 sample and then Doughty I don't know if they what 2:01:43.480 --> 2:01:46.360 they ever did with him, and then it would seem 2:01:46.440 --> 2:01:52.520 that they should have tested um Trevor, Yeah, but I don't. 2:01:52.720 --> 2:01:54.840 I don't think they ever did. Well. These things are 2:01:54.880 --> 2:01:58.080 never brought forward, of course, but but again these are 2:01:58.120 --> 2:02:00.880 the things that are to be focused to pond this 2:02:01.120 --> 2:02:03.680 is the thing that gets jumped on and everybody says, 2:02:03.960 --> 2:02:08.080 but he had, but well the other people were looked at, 2:02:08.200 --> 2:02:10.960 but those don't get reported, and of course then you 2:02:11.040 --> 2:02:14.400 know the operation peget doesn't doesn't say anything about it 2:02:14.600 --> 2:02:17.680 because it was just so inconsequential. I mean, it's it's 2:02:17.720 --> 2:02:21.720 hard to say. But let's for a minute talk about 2:02:22.360 --> 2:02:25.880 he'd worked for the Fayett family for over ten years, 2:02:26.200 --> 2:02:30.520 so he had been doing private security for them. He 2:02:30.800 --> 2:02:34.280 eventually did such a good job that he got promoted 2:02:34.440 --> 2:02:40.320 to deputy head of security. He also, on the side, 2:02:40.600 --> 2:02:43.880 was a private pilot, so he liked to fly planes. 2:02:44.000 --> 2:02:46.280 That was one of the things. He kind of had 2:02:46.360 --> 2:02:50.040 this thing of I like to fly do my job, 2:02:50.120 --> 2:02:54.160 but flying is kind of what I love. And he 2:02:54.280 --> 2:02:56.800 did his job well. Apparently it got tipped handsomely by 2:02:56.840 --> 2:03:00.120 the super richist state. Yeah, there was size. I ever 2:03:00.200 --> 2:03:02.960 saw anything to said that he was sloppy. No, no, 2:03:03.520 --> 2:03:08.160 it was he wouldn't have been promoted like exactly had 2:03:08.600 --> 2:03:11.600 he actually kind of a sweet job, because these these 2:03:11.720 --> 2:03:15.360 rich people would like tip him really handsomely to just 2:03:15.480 --> 2:03:18.120 kind of hang out and make sure that paparazzi didn't Yeah, 2:03:18.160 --> 2:03:20.200 stuff like that. So they're they're, they're, they're they're tipping 2:03:20.240 --> 2:03:23.600 him like, you know, five hundred pounds, thousand pounds. Yeah, 2:03:23.800 --> 2:03:27.440 very very set when he died. They've got a lot 2:03:27.520 --> 2:03:31.040 of money in his bank account. Yeah. Like we said, 2:03:31.120 --> 2:03:36.200 he liked to fly. He had three days prior to 2:03:36.360 --> 2:03:40.920 the accident he had to go take and subsequently he 2:03:41.040 --> 2:03:47.000 passed his private Pilots physical. At the time, it wasn't 2:03:47.200 --> 2:03:50.680 the standard practice like it is now to take blood 2:03:50.800 --> 2:03:53.720 work and to do a but I would call a 2:03:54.000 --> 2:03:59.600 rigorous physical examination of somebody. But he still passed the test. 2:03:59.720 --> 2:04:02.400 Most to it was just question and answer, but he 2:04:02.520 --> 2:04:05.960 still passed it. And there was no there was no 2:04:06.400 --> 2:04:10.560 question from the doctor of well maybe this isn't right, 2:04:10.800 --> 2:04:15.560 so that seems okay. Yeah, And the inquest that we 2:04:15.640 --> 2:04:19.040 talked about, they did an autopsy on Henri's body and 2:04:19.200 --> 2:04:22.520 they explicitly said that Paul's liver was found to be 2:04:22.720 --> 2:04:25.640 normal and that you know, he had been taking these 2:04:25.720 --> 2:04:27.560 pills we're going to talk about in a minute, all 2:04:27.600 --> 2:04:29.760 of the different things that he had been taking. But 2:04:29.920 --> 2:04:33.360 his doctor had said that he didn't or she sorry, 2:04:33.760 --> 2:04:37.160 she didn't think that he had a drinking problem, but 2:04:37.280 --> 2:04:40.120 that he had the personality that he could develop one 2:04:40.280 --> 2:04:43.320 if he became depressed or anything like that. He was 2:04:43.480 --> 2:04:45.920 a bit depressed, it seems. He was a forty something 2:04:46.040 --> 2:04:50.640 year old man, he was, and he had to get 2:04:50.720 --> 2:04:52.480 a bit of a drinking. Yeah, and he had he 2:04:52.560 --> 2:04:54.800 had just gone through a big breakup from a long 2:04:54.960 --> 2:04:58.760 term relationship and you know sort of things that might 2:04:58.840 --> 2:05:01.200 attribute to that. So she had prescribed some things, but 2:05:01.320 --> 2:05:06.040 she said he didn't drink regularly, and when he did, 2:05:06.240 --> 2:05:08.880 it was never beyond the bounds of a normal kind 2:05:08.920 --> 2:05:11.600 of person relaxing, so like one or two. Well, but 2:05:11.800 --> 2:05:16.840 he also he was worried about it. Well, that's the thing. 2:05:16.920 --> 2:05:18.920 I mean. You know when you talk to your doctor 2:05:18.960 --> 2:05:20.760 and your doctor says how much do you drink? You know, 2:05:20.840 --> 2:05:22.440 it's kind of like when a cop asks you don't 2:05:22.440 --> 2:05:27.320 tell him the truth. That's true. But the irony is 2:05:27.400 --> 2:05:29.520 what I signed up for my health insurance this year. 2:05:29.560 --> 2:05:31.360 I had this very same thing. Do I tell him 2:05:31.400 --> 2:05:34.320 the truth or do I not? Like, how much do 2:05:34.440 --> 2:05:38.680 you reveal? Because you don't want to be pigeonholed? Okay, 2:05:38.720 --> 2:05:41.440 well I have this many beers once a week. Well, 2:05:41.520 --> 2:05:44.000 that means I get pigeonholed, or yeah, that means I've 2:05:44.000 --> 2:05:46.600 got a booze problem, or or the fact that I 2:05:47.120 --> 2:05:50.400 do drink anything at all could mean that according to 2:05:50.520 --> 2:05:54.800 this duct. I mean, it's it's a really weird conundrum 2:05:54.920 --> 2:05:58.680 that it can put a guy in, absolutely any person in. 2:05:58.840 --> 2:06:00.960 But I think the impression that I had is that 2:06:01.080 --> 2:06:03.960 he was He did have that concern of I could 2:06:04.080 --> 2:06:06.360 become an alcoholic, and he knew for his job and 2:06:06.480 --> 2:06:09.320 for his hobbies, right being a pilot, you can't be 2:06:09.440 --> 2:06:12.680 an alcoholic. For a job as a deputyst security for 2:06:12.720 --> 2:06:14.800 a bunch of rich people, you can't be an alcoholic. 2:06:15.560 --> 2:06:18.960 So he did. He asked the doctor to prescribe him 2:06:18.960 --> 2:06:23.080 anti alcoholic medication. This is strange, I mean to me, 2:06:23.200 --> 2:06:26.280 if you know, I can't imagine asking something like that 2:06:26.360 --> 2:06:28.360 to be to prescribe for me unless I already have 2:06:28.600 --> 2:06:31.240 a serious drinking problem. Well unless like it was in 2:06:31.320 --> 2:06:35.680 your family. Well no, actually I can. I can understand this. 2:06:35.800 --> 2:06:38.120 So let's say I don't want to go on to 2:06:38.240 --> 2:06:41.960 a long tangent here, but let's just say that he well, 2:06:42.040 --> 2:06:44.600 we know that he had broken up from a relationship, 2:06:45.240 --> 2:06:48.880 and so you find yourself for two weeks in a row, 2:06:49.160 --> 2:06:53.400 every night going out and getting trash and saying, wait 2:06:53.480 --> 2:06:56.160 a minute, this is not good. And I don't see 2:06:56.160 --> 2:06:58.400 any reason not to do this. But rationally I know 2:06:58.480 --> 2:07:00.320 that's a bad idea. I need to go see my 2:07:00.400 --> 2:07:03.280 doctor and get something done about that. And he did. 2:07:03.400 --> 2:07:06.160 He went to his doctor, and his doctor gave him 2:07:06.200 --> 2:07:10.480 prozac to help with his his moods. Yeah, it was. 2:07:12.080 --> 2:07:14.839 And at the same time she gave him the anti 2:07:15.000 --> 2:07:19.360 alcohol medication, by the way, doesn't bar him from drinking alcohol. 2:07:19.400 --> 2:07:21.760 It just makes it taste a little bit. It's yeah, 2:07:21.880 --> 2:07:25.879 it's um god. I can't think of what the common 2:07:26.600 --> 2:07:29.560 version of it would be in the US, but basically 2:07:29.600 --> 2:07:32.839 it makes it so he doesn't like, he doesn't enjoy drinking. 2:07:33.400 --> 2:07:35.440 It's not gonna make him physically ill, but it's not 2:07:35.520 --> 2:07:39.240 going to make it that fun. Well, it turns out 2:07:39.440 --> 2:07:43.400 in his room and the Rits they found the empty 2:07:43.600 --> 2:07:47.600 packets of that medication. Yeah, but didn't it take like 2:07:47.680 --> 2:07:50.320 a couple of weeks to kick in. It wasn't like 2:07:50.400 --> 2:07:53.320 a you take it and suddenly booze tape. That's absolutely correct, 2:07:53.360 --> 2:07:56.720 But it indicates to me that they hadn't been in 2:07:56.840 --> 2:08:00.280 that hotel room very long, and he had a how 2:08:00.360 --> 2:08:03.440 long have they been at the hotel? The days Diane 2:08:03.480 --> 2:08:09.320 Dody know that night that night? Okay, So but what's 2:08:09.360 --> 2:08:11.400 that got to do with him in his room though? Well, 2:08:11.520 --> 2:08:15.240 but if in his room there are the empty packets 2:08:15.360 --> 2:08:19.760 from the pills, that means he hadn't been taking them. 2:08:19.840 --> 2:08:22.480 And I don't think that means he started taking it 2:08:22.640 --> 2:08:26.680 that night. He had been taking it prior those pills. 2:08:26.800 --> 2:08:29.520 From what I can tell in the research, they take 2:08:30.320 --> 2:08:35.200 ballpark five days to kick in, and ballpark after the fact, 2:08:35.240 --> 2:08:38.160 after you stopped taking them there in your system for 2:08:38.320 --> 2:08:41.760 about one to two days. All right, We were all 2:08:41.800 --> 2:08:46.240 good with that, Okay. So I say this stuff has 2:08:46.320 --> 2:08:49.560 to be in some way, shape or form in his 2:08:49.760 --> 2:08:53.360 system and that and of course that I understand that 2:08:53.440 --> 2:08:56.240 means that means dependent on the dosage and how long 2:08:56.320 --> 2:08:59.120 have the dosage has been there, But he's got to 2:08:59.200 --> 2:09:04.560 be taking it. The British in quest also operations before 2:09:06.000 --> 2:09:09.840 Well we're talking about things that were in his system, right, Yeah, 2:09:11.000 --> 2:09:21.680 he had a drug called albin dazzle. Yeah, yeah, albendazole. 2:09:21.760 --> 2:09:27.240 That sounds more right. I like that way. Uh, it 2:09:27.720 --> 2:09:30.760 was unaccounted for his doctor hadn't prescribed it to him. 2:09:31.320 --> 2:09:33.160 It was found in a hair sample of his. So 2:09:33.240 --> 2:09:35.800 they tested his hair right as well for his drugs, 2:09:35.800 --> 2:09:37.880 because you do that sometimes, right, Some stuff doesn't show 2:09:37.960 --> 2:09:40.680 up in your blood necessarily. And it's a drug commonly 2:09:40.720 --> 2:09:44.840 given to homeless people in the United Kingdom, and it 2:09:45.000 --> 2:09:48.800 treats worm infestations like ring warring ring worm and things 2:09:48.880 --> 2:09:51.720 like that. You're laughing, but this is true, and it 2:09:51.800 --> 2:09:54.200 was found in his hair. It's a worm medicine, which 2:09:54.280 --> 2:09:56.680 is just so weird to me. Yeah, that's why I'm 2:09:56.760 --> 2:09:58.960 laughing at it, because that's just so odd. It's also 2:09:59.040 --> 2:10:03.000 odd that his doctor and prescribe it. Yeah, if you 2:10:03.080 --> 2:10:04.880 grind this stuff up and snort it, does it get 2:10:04.920 --> 2:10:08.839 you high? I don't know. I didn't do that. That's unlikely. 2:10:08.920 --> 2:10:12.480 Does it get the worms high? Probably? The side effects 2:10:12.520 --> 2:10:15.960 are there are some potentially serious side effects on this 2:10:16.560 --> 2:10:20.839 that include bone marrow suppression. That's not really that important. 2:10:20.960 --> 2:10:24.480 What is important is that liver inflammation has been reported, 2:10:25.120 --> 2:10:29.000 particularly those with liver problems, which we're going to talk about. 2:10:29.080 --> 2:10:32.440 His liver we'll talk about We've talked about a little bit. Yeah, 2:10:32.840 --> 2:10:35.839 and then other more common side effects including a nausea, 2:10:35.920 --> 2:10:38.800 abdominal pain, and headaches. Not really the sort of thing 2:10:38.880 --> 2:10:42.720 that would really affect your blood alcohol level, but it 2:10:42.920 --> 2:10:46.200 might affect your ability to drive a car if you're 2:10:46.240 --> 2:10:49.120 having severe headaches or abdominal crams or anything like that. 2:10:49.680 --> 2:10:53.320 But also super weird that they found that in his hair. 2:10:53.920 --> 2:10:57.360 Why is he taking the worming medication that his doctor 2:10:57.440 --> 2:11:00.640 didn't prescribe? You know that. The other thing I think 2:11:00.800 --> 2:11:03.560 is that it seems that he had a fairly open 2:11:03.880 --> 2:11:07.240 conversation dialogue with his doctor. He was able to say, hey, 2:11:07.320 --> 2:11:12.200 I want this anti alcoholism medication, right, So on top 2:11:12.280 --> 2:11:15.000 of that for him to like not mention, oh, also 2:11:15.040 --> 2:11:18.000 what have ring worm? That's that's a little weird. It 2:11:18.080 --> 2:11:19.680 sends up a little red flag. We're going to talk 2:11:19.720 --> 2:11:22.200 about why it sends up a little bit more of 2:11:22.280 --> 2:11:24.600 a red flag because there are some conspiracy theories about 2:11:24.640 --> 2:11:29.120 the blood and hair and body of Henry Paul or 2:11:29.240 --> 2:11:32.240 on Repaul that was found in the car. This is 2:11:32.320 --> 2:11:34.360 one thing that kind of feeds into that. I think 2:11:35.080 --> 2:11:38.480 said ring worm deal, but why didn't the doctor prescribe? 2:11:38.480 --> 2:11:40.440 It's not like an over the counter medication, it's a 2:11:40.480 --> 2:11:43.600 prescription pill. So it wasn't prescribed to him by the doctor, 2:11:43.680 --> 2:11:45.360 So why didn't he go see his doctor for this? 2:11:46.280 --> 2:11:49.120 He wants somewhere else anonymously and paid cash because he 2:11:49.120 --> 2:11:51.360 didn't wanted his medical records. That's all it is, which 2:11:51.440 --> 2:11:59.840 is silly because yeah, of course, yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyways, yeah, 2:12:00.000 --> 2:12:04.920 that was worth mentioning. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, Well let's let's 2:12:05.040 --> 2:12:08.600 go back to the night of the accident with him 2:12:08.680 --> 2:12:12.960 drinking and stuff. Yeah, okay, that stone that he was drinking. 2:12:13.240 --> 2:12:16.240 It's it's a fact. He was off of work and 2:12:16.320 --> 2:12:22.120 he was drinking. There are eyewitness accounts and receipts eyewitnesses 2:12:22.200 --> 2:12:24.720 as in patrons in the bar and the bartender, and 2:12:24.840 --> 2:12:28.120 the receipt from the bartender putting him in the hotel bar, 2:12:28.800 --> 2:12:32.560 so we know he was in the hotel. The eyewitnesses 2:12:32.680 --> 2:12:37.920 were who the bartender and a couple of patrons and 2:12:38.040 --> 2:12:42.120 a couple of patrons. But they say that according to 2:12:42.160 --> 2:12:45.000 all of this, he had two recards. And I hope 2:12:45.040 --> 2:12:49.280 I'm pronouncing that ards it Maybe I don't know why 2:12:49.360 --> 2:12:56.040 I keep thinking that, but okay, whichever, it doesn't matter. Something, 2:12:56.240 --> 2:12:59.120 well I looked it up. It's it's it's an honest 2:12:59.440 --> 2:13:06.040 base alcohol. It's not super popular at the time, and 2:13:06.120 --> 2:13:10.560 it's kind of become more popular now. But he had 2:13:10.600 --> 2:13:13.320 two drinks of that, and I looked this booze up. 2:13:13.800 --> 2:13:18.440 You can buy it in what it's a seventies sentiliter bottle, 2:13:18.520 --> 2:13:20.880 which I think equates to like a twenty four ounce 2:13:20.960 --> 2:13:24.760 bottle over the counter. So I can't see him in 2:13:25.360 --> 2:13:29.560 the bar getting a twenty four bottle. So I've got 2:13:29.720 --> 2:13:32.040 a guess that what he got was a glass. So 2:13:32.160 --> 2:13:35.080 it had to be a mixed drink, which it can't 2:13:35.120 --> 2:13:38.240 be a big mixed drink because it's it's a full 2:13:38.360 --> 2:13:41.720 bottle of booze that I was looking at a nine. Also, yeah, 2:13:42.040 --> 2:13:44.280 they're charging him for just you know, the shot of 2:13:44.400 --> 2:13:48.360 that the mixers free, or maybe he's just drinking it 2:13:48.680 --> 2:13:51.720 over ice or straight up. It to me is the 2:13:51.800 --> 2:13:55.120 equivalent of going to the bar and getting a shot 2:13:55.200 --> 2:13:59.480 of whiskey on the rocks. Now, two of those is 2:14:00.040 --> 2:14:03.520 not good, depending on the state of your stomach. Don't 2:14:03.560 --> 2:14:08.040 forget about But also don't forget this. I don't know 2:14:08.040 --> 2:14:10.040 if you've ever like had a bar that you go 2:14:10.160 --> 2:14:12.360 to on a regular basis or not, but often it 2:14:12.440 --> 2:14:15.840 turns out in cases like that, especially like I'm thinking 2:14:15.920 --> 2:14:18.560 that this bar maybe you get what's called the brow deal, 2:14:19.440 --> 2:14:21.680 which is that you don't get charged for all the 2:14:21.760 --> 2:14:25.200 drinks that you take, and that can be possible. And also, 2:14:25.400 --> 2:14:27.880 by the way, let's not forget the bartender has a 2:14:28.000 --> 2:14:32.720 strong reason to not tell the truth later on because 2:14:32.760 --> 2:14:35.920 he doesn't want to be culpable for you driving drunk. Right, 2:14:36.040 --> 2:14:40.640 But we're not going to go there yet, Okay, So 2:14:40.840 --> 2:14:43.160 I just want to stick to this to drinking out. 2:14:43.520 --> 2:14:46.360 His b A c indicated that he had had like 2:14:48.360 --> 2:14:52.240 ten or twelve of these freaking things. But um, I 2:14:52.320 --> 2:14:56.280 also want to talk about briefly the carbon monoxide. Yeah, 2:14:56.560 --> 2:14:59.640 in his blood, he was he was moving cigars. Well, 2:14:59.720 --> 2:15:02.760 he he was known to smoke cigars in evidently that 2:15:02.960 --> 2:15:07.480 night he had been smoking. He smoke two cigars, which 2:15:07.840 --> 2:15:13.120 for anybody who's ever smoked a cigar, that's a lot 2:15:13.640 --> 2:15:18.000 of smoking. They were full of cigars anything. Yeah, they're 2:15:18.120 --> 2:15:22.480 like you know, the big, old like giant things. I mean, 2:15:22.600 --> 2:15:25.480 I've tried to smoke a cigar and I think I 2:15:25.520 --> 2:15:30.400 made it like ten minutes and made half progress on 2:15:30.520 --> 2:15:34.560 that stupid thing. Oh no, okay, well, yeah, that's I 2:15:34.640 --> 2:15:36.520 think that made me sick. That's why I stopped. But 2:15:37.440 --> 2:15:40.800 that's a lot to inhale. And this guy is inhaling 2:15:41.360 --> 2:15:46.520 several to two plus cigars that that, to me explains 2:15:47.080 --> 2:15:52.080 the carbon monoxide. I also then, okay, I'm I'm operating 2:15:52.280 --> 2:15:55.520 on the Let's say what we have is evidence from 2:15:55.560 --> 2:15:58.920 the bar is true. How the hell can his B 2:15:59.080 --> 2:16:04.800 A C be that high? Can't? Can it can if 2:16:04.880 --> 2:16:08.200 he's got no food in him? But I started rooting 2:16:08.240 --> 2:16:10.360 around in a couple of things, and I actually found 2:16:10.400 --> 2:16:13.600 some medical studies which believe it or not, exonerating him 2:16:13.600 --> 2:16:18.400 a little bit or prove that maybe the numbers aren't right. Um, 2:16:18.960 --> 2:16:23.480 there is from a physiological standpoint, there is an interaction 2:16:23.960 --> 2:16:28.760 in the body between alcohol and nicotine. And I'd heard 2:16:28.800 --> 2:16:32.480 this from a doctor years ago that nicotine blocks your 2:16:32.640 --> 2:16:36.879 uptake of alcohol. Turns out there's a couple of scientists 2:16:36.920 --> 2:16:40.119 who did a study and they took three control control 2:16:40.200 --> 2:16:43.320 groups of rats. What they did is they injected the 2:16:43.440 --> 2:16:46.720 same amount of alcohol into all of them, and then 2:16:46.840 --> 2:16:49.680 group A got a low dose, Group BE got a 2:16:49.800 --> 2:16:53.520 high dose or medium does and groups C got the 2:16:53.720 --> 2:16:57.879 high dose of nicotine. And go figure the group they 2:16:58.000 --> 2:17:02.959 got the high dose of nicotine had a lower blood 2:17:03.040 --> 2:17:09.160 alcohol content peak number because the nicotine was blocking some 2:17:09.320 --> 2:17:13.199 of the receptors in the body that pulling the booze. 2:17:13.800 --> 2:17:18.320 So if this guy is huffing cigars all night long, 2:17:19.000 --> 2:17:21.800 it stands to reason based on this study. And I 2:17:21.879 --> 2:17:26.920 understand this is a study, it's not concrete proof, but 2:17:27.000 --> 2:17:30.120 I've seen supporting studies of this and just anecdotal evidence. 2:17:30.680 --> 2:17:34.200 But if this guy is sucking on a cigar all 2:17:34.320 --> 2:17:37.640 night long, and he's had two drinks or two shots, 2:17:38.320 --> 2:17:42.760 he shouldn't be nearly as drunk as the guy next 2:17:42.800 --> 2:17:45.760 to him who's had the equal exact same amount of 2:17:45.800 --> 2:17:49.960 food and day and number of shots, because the nicotine 2:17:50.160 --> 2:17:55.959 stops the upticks. But highly weird, but it turns out true. 2:17:56.879 --> 2:18:00.520 But let's let's finish with my last thing that really 2:18:00.760 --> 2:18:08.640 really makes me question if he was total guano house drunk. Okay, 2:18:09.520 --> 2:18:12.720 if you watch the footage of him in the hotel 2:18:12.879 --> 2:18:19.320 lobby and you watch him outside, he's standing around, he's fine, 2:18:20.000 --> 2:18:23.640 he sees Diane Dody, he walks him outside, he holds 2:18:23.720 --> 2:18:29.840 the door, he waves to somebody suspicious, suspiciously, and then 2:18:29.920 --> 2:18:32.360 he walks to the car and he opens the doors 2:18:32.400 --> 2:18:38.600 and gets in. Nowhere in that crappy footage does he 2:18:38.879 --> 2:18:43.920 suddenly go and tip over drunk. Yeah, he doesn't stumble 2:18:44.000 --> 2:18:49.440 at all. Nothing about his behavior indicates that he is 2:18:49.640 --> 2:18:53.440 completely in the bag but can put away a lot 2:18:53.520 --> 2:18:57.360 of this is and still maintaining. But those people tend 2:18:57.520 --> 2:19:03.080 to have signs in physiologically, like in their liver that 2:19:03.160 --> 2:19:07.959 we talked about that would show that, yeah, you can 2:19:08.360 --> 2:19:13.720 maintain the face, but your body is paying the price. 2:19:13.920 --> 2:19:17.560 And he doesn't seem to have had that. Well, you know, 2:19:17.640 --> 2:19:21.160 I mean, it takes a while to really start damaging 2:19:21.200 --> 2:19:23.840 your liver, so but it also takes a while to 2:19:24.160 --> 2:19:27.760 learn to operate that way. I mean, I'm sorry, how 2:19:27.800 --> 2:19:30.600 many of you have known drunks. And for a while 2:19:30.879 --> 2:19:33.440 the drunks you don't know they're drunks because they're really 2:19:33.560 --> 2:19:37.520 good at operating like they're sober. And then suddenly there 2:19:37.600 --> 2:19:39.920 comes to the point where they take a beer and 2:19:40.000 --> 2:19:45.800 they go because they're just so hosebagged immediately that they're done, 2:19:46.800 --> 2:19:50.920 and it's a it's not a gradual progression, but physiologically 2:19:51.480 --> 2:19:55.960 the signs are super obvious. So none of that showed up. Yeah, 2:19:56.160 --> 2:19:57.800 you know, it's it's a little mysterious to me. I 2:19:57.879 --> 2:20:01.520 agree that. I think that it's easily explainable that he 2:20:01.600 --> 2:20:05.440 could have had the higher blood alcohol content and maybe 2:20:05.520 --> 2:20:08.480 he drank outside the bar he went back to his room. Yes, 2:20:08.640 --> 2:20:11.000 And I'm not going to disagree with that at all. 2:20:11.560 --> 2:20:14.400 You still would expect there to be slurring, which apparently 2:20:14.440 --> 2:20:16.760 nobody noticed, and staggering, a little bit of staggering at 2:20:16.800 --> 2:20:20.880 that blood alcoholic content. And and for our friends who 2:20:20.959 --> 2:20:25.160 were going to jump on the conspiracy bandwagon, because I've 2:20:25.240 --> 2:20:29.240 seen this and say, well, he's that the blood was 2:20:29.879 --> 2:20:36.640 switched out or accidentally confused with somebody else's blood. In 2:20:36.800 --> 2:20:41.240 the lab, that blood was sampled multiple times, and every 2:20:41.280 --> 2:20:44.400 time he came back with the same results. And to 2:20:45.400 --> 2:20:50.640 accommodate this screaming and hand waving of it's not his blood, 2:20:51.120 --> 2:20:54.400 they did a DNA test on it. And it's a wait, 2:20:54.440 --> 2:20:56.080 I gotta look at I gotta look at this number 2:20:56.080 --> 2:21:00.680 because there's so many digits. It's a nine nine nine 2:21:01.160 --> 2:21:08.800 nine nine seven match to his mother, which so it's 2:21:08.840 --> 2:21:13.320 just his mom's blood. I say it's his blood. Although 2:21:13.959 --> 2:21:16.000 if I want to get in bed with the well 2:21:16.200 --> 2:21:21.320 it's the conspiracy. Something's going on. Okay, he went out, 2:21:21.840 --> 2:21:24.720 he had way too much to drink, he passed out, 2:21:24.920 --> 2:21:27.720 and somebody took a vial of his blood. I don't 2:21:27.760 --> 2:21:30.520 say that's what happened. But if we're going to fall 2:21:30.600 --> 2:21:35.360 into that camp, that's the next logical step after you 2:21:35.520 --> 2:21:38.240 find out it's a genetic match. That's a pretty sust 2:21:38.760 --> 2:21:42.440 just amazing a case of planning there too. Well, that's 2:21:42.480 --> 2:21:47.480 why in the tunnel. Yeah, that falls back into the 2:21:47.879 --> 2:21:53.120 m I six involvement, which we've already kind of blasted apart. Yeah, yeah, 2:21:53.160 --> 2:21:55.039 I don't know. I think that I do think though, 2:21:55.120 --> 2:21:59.240 that there's there is the one can I say there's 2:21:59.240 --> 2:22:02.120 a compromise but asie, which is that he might not 2:22:02.240 --> 2:22:05.640 have been falling down drunk, but in the situation that 2:22:05.720 --> 2:22:07.520 they were in, they were in a dangerous tunnel that 2:22:07.560 --> 2:22:09.320 had these nasty columns in the middle that you could 2:22:09.360 --> 2:22:12.480 pile into. He lost control, which he can even do sober, 2:22:13.240 --> 2:22:16.360 and his reflexes were a little dulled by alcohol, and boom, 2:22:16.440 --> 2:22:21.279 next thing, you know, big time wrap. I mean, obviously 2:22:21.440 --> 2:22:24.400 was not sober. I'm not saying he was so, but 2:22:24.480 --> 2:22:28.600 I'm also I'm amazed that he was three times over 2:22:28.720 --> 2:22:32.360 the limit. Yeah, because Joe, we've known the same people 2:22:32.440 --> 2:22:35.240 who have walked out of the bar and fallen on 2:22:35.320 --> 2:22:39.360 their face drunk, and it's like, whoo, holy hell, how 2:22:39.400 --> 2:22:43.160 did you drink that much that fast. It's you know, 2:22:43.440 --> 2:22:47.880 from a physiological standpoint that to me, I mean the 2:22:47.959 --> 2:22:51.720 people I'm thinking of, that is a long term problem. 2:22:53.400 --> 2:22:56.959 He goes ready for the next final. Oh, let's talking 2:22:58.040 --> 2:23:01.360 very fund absolutely, let's have it. And this one is 2:23:01.440 --> 2:23:04.800 pretty home grown. And I think I might be the 2:23:04.840 --> 2:23:08.000 only one in this room who likes this theory at all. 2:23:08.400 --> 2:23:11.680 We'll go down in at least. Yeah, this theory I 2:23:11.760 --> 2:23:14.160 started to think about. You know, we've been researching this 2:23:14.600 --> 2:23:18.840 episode for a number of weeks now, but last week 2:23:18.920 --> 2:23:23.840 we last week we talked about sneek haff Phillips and uh, 2:23:24.120 --> 2:23:28.200 Steve brought forward the theory that maybe her husband did it, 2:23:29.200 --> 2:23:33.120 and that got me thinking, what about Mohammed Alfad Because 2:23:33.240 --> 2:23:36.440 he's the only one making all of the claims hundred 2:23:36.520 --> 2:23:42.400 and seventies some odd claims, right, So either you have 2:23:42.560 --> 2:23:45.560 somebody who's proud of the fact that his oldest son 2:23:45.760 --> 2:23:49.080 was dating Princess Diana, or you have somebody who was 2:23:49.200 --> 2:23:54.360 trying desperately to shine the light literally anywhere but himself. 2:23:55.000 --> 2:23:59.560 So he was ashamed essentially, maybe not a shamed, maybe 2:23:59.600 --> 2:24:02.840 trying to over something up. Okay, okay, okay, And so 2:24:04.520 --> 2:24:08.760 it's possible, right Muhammad Alpha adds history is a bit weird. 2:24:08.840 --> 2:24:14.280 We mentioned that he's close with an arms tailer in Dubai. Uh. 2:24:14.560 --> 2:24:20.280 He's a very ambitious businessman. He was the biggest person 2:24:20.320 --> 2:24:25.320 who was involved with the cash for questions scandal, which 2:24:25.320 --> 2:24:27.320 you're going to have to google if you're like really 2:24:27.400 --> 2:24:30.360 really interested. But the cliff notes quick version is that 2:24:30.440 --> 2:24:33.279 alphay Ad bribed through a third party, lots of members 2:24:33.360 --> 2:24:37.120 of Parliament to ask parliamentary questions, which are apparently like 2:24:37.240 --> 2:24:40.720 a huge deal. Uh. And it was like a pretty 2:24:40.800 --> 2:24:44.680 huge scandal that broke in Britain. One of all fa 2:24:44.760 --> 2:24:47.600 Ads claims for one of you know, one of the 2:24:47.760 --> 2:24:50.600 hundred and seventy someone claims, was that he didn't think 2:24:50.640 --> 2:24:54.200 that anybody wanted to see Diana dead, but instead that 2:24:54.520 --> 2:24:57.280 she died after a plan to frighten her had gone wrong, 2:24:58.080 --> 2:25:00.840 a plan to scare her into breaking up with Doughty. 2:25:01.360 --> 2:25:03.560 So they put on like white bed sheets and pretended 2:25:03.560 --> 2:25:06.600 to be No. I think that the fear was, you know, 2:25:06.720 --> 2:25:09.199 get like, let's have her be in a car accident 2:25:09.280 --> 2:25:12.560 and she would think, oh my gosh, something's gone wrong. 2:25:12.760 --> 2:25:15.920 I don't know. I don't understand necessarily. First thing, when 2:25:15.920 --> 2:25:18.040 I get a near miss, I think I gotta break 2:25:18.160 --> 2:25:23.000 up with her. Yeah, is that the reason? But I 2:25:23.040 --> 2:25:25.400 guess we'll put a little bit of perspective on this. 2:25:25.560 --> 2:25:28.640 We've kind of skirted around the issue. But Diana was 2:25:28.720 --> 2:25:30.720 a member of the Church of England and Doughty was 2:25:30.959 --> 2:25:35.119 and um he was part of the Islamic religion. Diana 2:25:35.240 --> 2:25:37.520 was kind of a strong independent woman, though she was 2:25:37.879 --> 2:25:40.520 maybe not the smartest of the women. And she did 2:25:40.680 --> 2:25:44.000 have two sons, and one of which was going to 2:25:44.120 --> 2:25:48.840 eventually be the heir to the throne. He was in 2:25:50.640 --> 2:25:54.480 one more than the other. Yes they are. Doughty was 2:25:54.560 --> 2:25:57.360 off I Had's firstborn son, so he would have been 2:25:57.480 --> 2:26:00.960 kind of the heir to his fortune. Even if Diana 2:26:01.080 --> 2:26:04.880 wasn't pregnant, the idea of her raising Doughty's potential children 2:26:04.959 --> 2:26:08.040 could have been upsetting to all fad for whatever reason. 2:26:08.440 --> 2:26:10.600 The flip side of do you want to get into 2:26:10.600 --> 2:26:12.880 the flip side of that. Okay, so this is this 2:26:13.080 --> 2:26:15.160 is one of the documentaries that I watched it. I'm 2:26:15.400 --> 2:26:21.080 pretty sure was funded by al Fai. I looked through 2:26:21.160 --> 2:26:24.800 all the credits and very conveniently, I didn't find his day. 2:26:24.920 --> 2:26:29.560 But it really seems like all of the internal interviews. Okay, 2:26:30.160 --> 2:26:34.800 short version is the opposite is true. Diana has two 2:26:34.879 --> 2:26:36.920 sons that are part of the Church of England and 2:26:37.200 --> 2:26:42.040 in line for the throne of Britain. So what a 2:26:42.400 --> 2:26:47.119 terrible thing if suddenly they have a half sibling who 2:26:47.320 --> 2:26:52.120 is Islama and could potentially have an influence on them. Yeah, 2:26:52.280 --> 2:26:55.440 and I don't think, you know, to be fair, none 2:26:55.440 --> 2:26:58.000 of us are saying that. No, I think they're just 2:26:58.120 --> 2:27:01.040 I think that both of those are ludicrous. I agree. Yeah. 2:27:01.959 --> 2:27:06.720 So here's a fun, fun fact about Doughty Head that 2:27:06.879 --> 2:27:09.560 I know I mentioned to you guys before recording, and 2:27:09.720 --> 2:27:12.400 both of the shock on both of your faces was awesome. 2:27:12.760 --> 2:27:15.680 Doughty he was actually engaged already when he was dating Diana. 2:27:16.560 --> 2:27:21.040 He did we We didn't mention that, did we. We didn't. Yeah, 2:27:21.080 --> 2:27:26.080 he was to an American model named Kelly Fisher. He 2:27:26.280 --> 2:27:29.320 had in fact purchased a house for them in Malibu 2:27:29.400 --> 2:27:33.240 and proposed like a couple months before he started dating Diana. 2:27:33.640 --> 2:27:37.640 He denied that he was dating Diana to Fisher over 2:27:37.680 --> 2:27:40.720 the phone. She actually has recordings of this because she 2:27:40.920 --> 2:27:43.480 felt really jilted and she was going to sue him, 2:27:44.320 --> 2:27:46.840 so she called him to confront him about it and 2:27:47.000 --> 2:27:51.120 recorded the phone conversation, and on it, he vehemently was like, no, 2:27:51.280 --> 2:27:53.400 we're not dating, We're just friends. Were not dating at all, 2:27:53.680 --> 2:27:56.039 which is what you would say to your girlfriend, right 2:27:56.120 --> 2:27:58.359 if you if she found out about your other girlfriend. 2:27:58.520 --> 2:28:04.080 That also explains the re the ring that he everything 2:28:04.560 --> 2:28:08.039 says dot he went to the ring that the jewelry 2:28:08.200 --> 2:28:10.960 store and he was getting this ring for Diana to 2:28:11.080 --> 2:28:13.640 propose there and set up their engagement. I think it 2:28:13.760 --> 2:28:16.160 wasn't for Diana. I don't think it was for Diana. 2:28:16.959 --> 2:28:19.760 I think it was for her. Yeah, for Fissure. Yeah, 2:28:20.120 --> 2:28:27.200 because it was a diamond encrusted, freaking huge, obscene ring. 2:28:28.640 --> 2:28:32.199 Makes so much sense that, oh, well, we're engaged in honey, 2:28:32.879 --> 2:28:35.720 just got back from this trip for France and lookye 2:28:35.920 --> 2:28:42.280 here here's another thing. Look about me guarding your favor. Yeah, anyway, 2:28:42.360 --> 2:28:44.800 that's a bit of a side tangent. But I guess 2:28:44.879 --> 2:28:48.160 the point is is that al Fayad certainly had the 2:28:48.360 --> 2:28:51.720 means to orchestrate this. He knew where they were going. 2:28:51.879 --> 2:28:54.360 He employed the man who crashed the car. He could 2:28:54.360 --> 2:28:58.600 have easily dosed on Re with something causing him to 2:28:58.760 --> 2:29:03.120 be more inebriated than he was. Now that necessary he 2:29:03.360 --> 2:29:07.000 wants to get killed, well in that in that instance, right, 2:29:07.240 --> 2:29:11.920 he wants to scare them. Well, it's not intentionally killing them, 2:29:12.000 --> 2:29:15.440 but let's scare the holy living bleep out of them. 2:29:15.920 --> 2:29:18.880 He could Diana leave, yeah, and he could have just 2:29:18.959 --> 2:29:23.240 said to Ri, like, hey, could you scare them a 2:29:23.320 --> 2:29:25.440 whole lot on your way over there, and we'll see 2:29:25.480 --> 2:29:29.160 if Diana kind of bolts, you know, and things got 2:29:29.200 --> 2:29:31.200 out of control. Maybe he didn't know that Onri was 2:29:31.280 --> 2:29:34.520 inebriated in any way, and on retook it like to 2:29:34.680 --> 2:29:38.440 the extreme. You know, there's there was ample time and 2:29:38.520 --> 2:29:41.840 ability for al Fayed to have planned something. He was 2:29:41.959 --> 2:29:44.200 one of the only people who really knew where Diana 2:29:44.240 --> 2:29:47.240 and Dodi were headed, right, he could have organized for 2:29:47.440 --> 2:29:50.200 a white fat you know, to be in the place. 2:29:50.400 --> 2:29:55.360 In the way. That's pretty dramatic. Dramatic, it's absolutely dramatic, 2:29:55.480 --> 2:29:58.680 But I think that at the very least, we owe 2:29:58.720 --> 2:30:02.280 it to mention that. I don't think. I don't. I 2:30:02.440 --> 2:30:06.160 don't genuinely think that there's good motive. I don't genuinely 2:30:06.280 --> 2:30:09.879 think that al Fayed would have had his oldest son, 2:30:10.040 --> 2:30:14.560 who he probably just adored, killed. But I think that 2:30:15.120 --> 2:30:17.480 while we're mentioning all these other crazy ludicrous things, we 2:30:17.600 --> 2:30:20.240 may as well mention this one as well. What the hell? Yeah, 2:30:20.520 --> 2:30:23.320 I think that, yeah, my advent to look at this. 2:30:23.560 --> 2:30:26.640 I mean, maybe he felt like his his his Diana 2:30:26.760 --> 2:30:28.960 was a tart and and that Doughty was bringing this 2:30:29.120 --> 2:30:31.160 honor upon the family. It's all, you know, there's so 2:30:31.320 --> 2:30:34.360 many killing you can you can't find a lot of reasons, 2:30:34.440 --> 2:30:36.880 and I don't. I don't. I don't personally find any 2:30:36.920 --> 2:30:39.440 merit in any of them. But no, not really. There 2:30:39.480 --> 2:30:41.760 you go. So that's I think our last theory. I'm 2:30:41.840 --> 2:30:45.200 kind of doubting that he did it. Yeah, I don't think, 2:30:45.240 --> 2:30:48.320 Thank God. I also like, I don't think that any 2:30:48.400 --> 2:30:52.600 of those are awesome theories. I had one more theory. 2:30:53.240 --> 2:30:55.920 There was a shadowy coalition of regular guys who are 2:30:56.000 --> 2:31:01.320 really really sick of hearing about Diana. No not, That's 2:31:01.400 --> 2:31:05.720 definitely not the biggest mystery for me. And this whole 2:31:05.800 --> 2:31:10.920 thing is is seriously, the whole Diana of session always 2:31:11.000 --> 2:31:13.560 left me cold and always made me wondering what the hell. 2:31:14.320 --> 2:31:16.560 I think a lot of people are so fascinating about it. 2:31:16.600 --> 2:31:21.440 It's a cultural thing, though, Joe, We're we're in the US, 2:31:21.920 --> 2:31:26.120 We're in the Western States. We don't get that. But 2:31:26.280 --> 2:31:30.680 it is a total cultural thing, like all of Britain 2:31:31.280 --> 2:31:35.080 got into it and then it spread from there. We're 2:31:35.120 --> 2:31:38.320 not putting down I'm not saying that the Brits are 2:31:38.400 --> 2:31:42.440 not or anything like. No, No, I know in America Diana. 2:31:42.800 --> 2:31:48.040 People in America went berserk for Diana. I mean we 2:31:48.160 --> 2:31:50.640 heard about nothing else. It wasn't just the Brits that 2:31:50.720 --> 2:31:53.440 went crazy for I think that part of what happened 2:31:53.480 --> 2:31:55.360 is people ignored the fact that she was a lady 2:31:55.720 --> 2:31:59.920 right from a well off family. Her story was kind 2:32:00.040 --> 2:32:04.680 of build as a rags to riches. Yes, inderelevant, and 2:32:04.720 --> 2:32:07.920 I think people really bought into that. Yeah, it wasn't true, 2:32:09.720 --> 2:32:12.560 but even so that the thing about it was is 2:32:12.680 --> 2:32:16.200 that is that it's one thing to package something like 2:32:16.280 --> 2:32:18.920 that into a ninety minute to our movie. It's another 2:32:19.000 --> 2:32:22.120 thing to package it into, you know, twenty years of 2:32:22.280 --> 2:32:24.720 tabloid crap, I mean, which is what people did. And 2:32:24.760 --> 2:32:28.200 I never understood it that that why people were even 2:32:28.280 --> 2:32:32.640 remotely interested in Diana family. So if you know it 2:32:32.760 --> 2:32:35.120 was a mystery, I mean yeah, yeah, if you know, 2:32:35.320 --> 2:32:39.280 I sent us a letter. Yeah, I think I don't 2:32:39.440 --> 2:32:42.640 like any of these theories I've left wanting. I think 2:32:42.720 --> 2:32:45.520 that No, it's just I think, you know, car crash, 2:32:45.600 --> 2:32:49.080 you know, I mean it happened, yeah, and it's unfortunate 2:32:49.080 --> 2:32:51.880 and we won't know whoever. And by the way, Paris 2:32:52.080 --> 2:32:57.520 put some freaking guard rails in that Sally the f 2:32:58.000 --> 2:33:04.600 is going on roadway system in that one tunnel. If 2:33:04.640 --> 2:33:09.920 you can't tell, we're tired now, we're getting cranky and rauchy. 2:33:10.080 --> 2:33:12.200 So we're going to go and wrap this thing. Yeah, yeah, 2:33:12.200 --> 2:33:14.600 because I did like all the things that we're trying 2:33:14.640 --> 2:33:18.880 to come up with, not to swear.
