Former MI6 Agent Claims Princess Diana Was Murdered by Spies

On what would have been Princess Diana's 65th birthday, Richard Tomlinson, a former MI6 agent, has made explosive claims regarding her death in a 1997 car crash in Paris. Tomlinson asserts that MI6 agents orchestrated the incident by intoxicating her chauffeur, Henri Paul, with alcohol before the fatal drive. He alleges that spies tracked Diana for 15 years and used a strobe light to blind Paul as he attempted to evade paparazzi, leading to the crash that resulted in Diana's death.

Tomlinson, who worked for MI6 in the early 1990s, believes that the details of the agency's involvement are locked away in a classified dossier. He points to the unaccounted hour before the crash when Paul was missing, suggesting he may have been drinking with an MI6 handler. Tomlinson claims that a significant amount of cash was found on Paul after the crash, raising questions about his state of mind and potential coercion.

The inquest into Diana's death revealed that Paul had dangerously high levels of alcohol and carbon monoxide in his system at the time of the crash. Tomlinson argues that this could indicate he was deliberately incapacitated. He recalls seeing a classified MI6 document in 1992 that outlined plans to assassinate Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic using similar tactics, suggesting a pattern of behavior by the agency.

Witnesses reported seeing a flash of light in the tunnel moments before the crash, which Tomlinson believes supports his theory that MI6 employed the same method to blind Paul. He contends that the British government and royal family may have sanctioned the plot due to Diana's activism against landmines and her relationship with Dodi Fayed.

Tomlinson's claims are part of a broader narrative that has persisted since Diana's death, with many conspiracy theorists believing in a cover-up. His insights are detailed in a new edition of his book, The Big Breach, which is gaining attention as the 30th anniversary of Diana's death approaches. Tomlinson's controversial assertions continue to fuel discussions about the circumstances surrounding the tragic event that claimed the life of the beloved princess.
