likes. As a King, if he continued in this vein, he could collapse the Monarchy.
When Edward VIII insisted that he marry Mrs. Simpson against the recommendations of his Royal advisors, his government and ministers they were told that the subject of Mrs. Simpson was ‘Not Negotiable’. He was told by the Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin , “In the Choice of a Queen, the voice of the people must be heard.” How true! All the big papers of the day – ‘The Times’, ‘The Sunday Times’, ‘The Observer’, ‘The Telegraph’ - all came out with the same headline: ‘Abdicate!’
The people had spoken and David (Edward VIII) a man with a very nervous disposition, left!
It is a sad fact, that Edward and Mrs. Simpson almost bankrupted the current crown. No longer King, Edward had no income, so he ‘sold’ their two castles, (which they already owned), Sandringham and Balmoral. He took the jewelry that had been bequeathed to him by his mother, Queen Mary. Obviously she thought that these jewels would be worn by the next Queen of England and they would stay in the family dynasty but Edward gave them to Mrs. Simpson and then lied about the amount of money he had managed to ‘squirrel’ away when he was the Prince Of Wales, and the Duke of Cornwall. He was constantly begging for money from his brother, the King, to support his extravagant lifestyle and his wife’s jewelry. The collection was eventually auctioned off in the 1980’s after her death and raised $62 MILLION DOLLARS. Not bad for a couple of old people who never worked and had no money!
I think, the writer/comedian, Mel Brooks, said it best in the film ‘History of the World, Part 2’. ‘IT’S GOOD TO BE THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!’

For those us genuinely searching for the truth of what occurred on 31 st August, 1997, in the Alma Tunnel, I would like to suggest that we are obviously confused and have not been looking in the right places or asking the right questions.
It is obvious to me that we have been sent in the wrong direction and certain things which are painfully obvious to some of us seem to be painfully oblivious to the rest of us.
So if we accept certain things to be true, then the accident makes complete sense, and we have no more need to ask any more questions and we should all just shut up and sit quietly like good little children.
So let’s accept what we have been told about Diana: ‘loose canon’, ‘paranoid’, ‘unstable’, ‘party girl’, ‘clothes horse’. And if we apply these ‘facts’ to the ‘accident’, then the confusion you may have experienced will all seem as clear as day.
Diana got into a car when the driver was roaring drunk, 3 x’s over the limit, because she was a party girl and she thought that driving with someone who stunk of Pernot and could hardly stand-up, would be a riot, Makes sense to me.
The only available car that night was a Mercedes that had been stolen 3 weeks prior and the on-board computer had been replaced, well that’s sounds perfectly normal, I’m sure things like that happen every day.
Moments before the crash, bystanders saw blinding lights in the tunnel, plus motorbikes following the car, why should we trust the word of the man in the street? We are soo much better off trusting the word of the authorities they are so much smarter than we are. People in the street are famous for making stuff up, while authorities NEVER lie to us.
The CCTV cameras that lined the route to the crash tunnel were all switched off, well that doesn’t sound weird at all.
Within hours the tunnel was swept clean and disinfected, this is very normal as this was a crime scene and all the crucial forensic evidence was destroyed, but we know that the French are fastidious about cleanliness, so there was absolutely nothing odd about any of
