Di's Secret
In the years leading up to her demise, Princess Diana repeatedly hinted she knew too much about the royal family and feared for her life. It also appears Diana came to terms with the fact that she may well die young and, like so, her biography was constructed and finally published in 1992.
Although, after some amateur research, one could not be blamed for questioning if the biography now in print is a true reflection of The People's Princess.
None-the-less, the public waited with baited breath for the secret Diana held so close to be shared with the world, only to be disappointed with news they already knew: Charles and Camilla had something going on (also confirmed by Charles himself in a TV documentary in 1994).
In 1995, it seemed the Princess had much more to tell. Again, the world waited with baited breath, only to find the BBC TV interview had nothing new to report. Although, within the first few minutes, Diana does drop a hint when she talks about the royal role she carved out for herself:
"I found myself being more and more involved with people who were rejected by society and I found an affinity there. And I respected very much the honesty I found on that level with people I met, because in hospices, for instance, when people are dying they're much more open and more vulnerable, and much more real than other people. And I appreciated that."
And it is right here, in Diana's own non-scripted words, we find the first clues to the terrible secrets she learned. But first thing's first, Diana was notoriously uncooperative when it came to the press so how did the BBC get this inside scoop to begin with? Enter: the royal marriage counselor.
BBC's Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile
Perhaps Savile's most unlikely role was that of marriage guidance counselor at a time when the marriages of Charles and Diana and Andrew and Sarah were disintegrating. Around new year 1990, Charles asked Savile to help the Duchess of York with what Savile later described as 'keeping her profile down'.
As we now know, Savile was a prolific sex abuser and self-confessed necrophiliac whose manipulative powers of persuasion resulted in the sexual abuse of more than 1000 victims, countless murders and "suicides" and thousands of cases of child-sex-trafficking. Of his many hunting grounds, Savile shared one - in particular - in common with Diana's charity work: the London Borough of Islington.
In 1990, the Islington Gazette proudly recorded Jimmy Savile's visit to open the council's new housing complex for disabled people, many of whom were already his victims.
This is an uncomfortable fact that Islington Council would now prefer to remain a secret. When the story broke, then-council leader Margaret Hodge shredded every incriminating file, sacked whistle-blowers, smeared the victims from a dozen Islington institutions and attacked the London Evening Standard's damning investigation, calling it "a sensationalist piece of gutter journalism".
Hodge, now Children's Minister, would forever be associated with one of Britain's most notorious child abuse scandals which is now associated with Britain's most notorious VIP child sex trafficking network. Meanwhile, the Evening Standard's dossiers went on to generate 13 independent inquiries and won two British Press awards.
Manipulating anyone with inside knowledge of the vastness of the network and who it involved became Savile's number one royal job. And while he was alive, he most certainly instilled enough fear to shut down anyone who might be inclined to blow the lid on it, including the entire BBC TV Network.
Diana Visits Islington
Diana was definitely no stranger to those at the center of the scandal, nor to those who were victims of it. Hardly a year went by when she did not visit Islington homes and shelters.

What we do know of Diana, is that she spent quality time with these people who were being abused. She sat on their beds and listened to what they had to say, some even say she saved their lives. In fact, it now appears Diana had been investigating child sex abuse allegations herself and recording her own interviews with victims.
Many believe Diana's recordings may have ended up in the hands of Crimewatch presenter Jill Dando, who was shot in the head on her front doorstep only 18 months after Diana's fatal car-crash. A BBC insider claims Dando attempted to investigate the VIP child sex abuse network about a year before Diana's death.
Williams-Thomas, an investigative journalist for Crimewatch and former policeman believes a key suspect was inexplicably ruled out of Dando's homicide investigation, someone he suspects might have ties to MI5 or MI6, given the reported mode of operation provided by witnesses.
Diana was a Threat
Diana often said, undoubtedly at the behest of her 'handlers', that the royal family feared her and her public support. What did they fear of her exactly? Obviously exposing Charles' affair with Camilla wasn't it, that much was old news yet Diana maintained this right up to her death in 1997.
British newspapers were constantly filled with stories of Diana undertaking "late-night visits" to console the sick and vulnerable, so it's highly likely she knew a whole lot more about the 'cover-up culture' of the royal family dating back to as early as the 60's, when the Queen first intervened in investigations into Savile.
The Met Police have reviewed six historical operations to date, involving hundreds of royal VIPs that have escaped investigation:
Among many revelations, these investigations revealed Lord Louis (Dickie) Mountbatten, cousin to the Queen, uncle and sponsor of the Duke of Edinburgh, great-uncle to Prince Charles and a well-known fixture at Kincora Boys Home ran an old-boy network which held child orgies at numerous boys' homes and in country houses on both sides of the Irish border.
Several victims from Kincora and other boys' homes identified two royals as regular abusers from the 70's to the 90's. Given his many improprieties over the years and his intimate relationship with Lord Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh cannot be ruled out. And, given Prince Charles' history of similar improprieties and also his close relationship with Lord Mountbatten, he cannot be ruled out either.
Camilla the Scapegoat
By the devilishly cunning Savile's own account, Mountbatten had welcomed Savile into the Royal Family, where he became an adviser and decades-long intimate confidante of Prince Charles.
When Diana said "there are three of us in this marriage" everyone automatically assumed the third person to be Camilla. It is now revealed, that third person was Sir Savile, who undoubtedly schooled Diana from outset on how to deal with the media and later orchestrated the Camilla affair as a marketing strategy, often referred to within the industry as 'damage control'.
It could also be said Prince Charles' marriages to Diana and Camilla, more or less ordered by the Duke, were convenient covers for his and his royal peer's improprieties. It now appears Diana's primary concern was not Camilla at all, but the discovery of a long history of predatory paedophiles in the royal household where she was expected to raise her two sons.
The list of suspects (some now convicted) that Diana might have been aware of, and may even have gathered evidence against, includes:
Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile
Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of defense from 1959 to 1965
Sir Maurice Oldfield, director of MI6

Staging a Suicide
Yet again Sir Savile, the evil genius and expert manipulator of many a victim, enters center stage.
Considering lobotomies were still popular within the senior royal's lifetimes, it's surprising Savile didn't suggest this measure to deal with Diana. None-the-less, they did put a great deal of effort towards inciting the "Diana's gone bonkers" theory and, since her death, have even taken it one step further daring to suggest her mental state damaged her own children.
Of course, anyone with half a brain would know it was the early forced separation from their mother by their grandmother and then her untimely death that had the most detrimental impacts on the children. Only an abuser could draw any other conclusion without blinking.
The fact is, Diana could not speak for herself or her children, everything was supervised through her handler, the royal marketing manager, Jimmy Savile.
After separating from Charles, his estranged wife was prevented from leaving the country just in case she said something some place where the royals could not control the media.
'... life became very difficult then for me... By visits abroad being blocked, by things that had come naturally my way being stopped, letters going, that got lost, and various things ... My husband's side were very busy stopping me...'
Although she read Savile's 'suicide' script very well, there were always little hints in her words that nobody took much notice of. Her subtle cries for help would be sensationally misinterpreted by the media, or perhaps even deliberately ignored in fear of their own lives.
As lawyer Michael Mansfield, who represented Dodi's father at the inquest into Diana's death, later reveals he held evidence that indicates Diana was being closely monitored by MI5, MI6 and the British ambassador to France with the deliberate intention of scaring her.
The one thing that exposes Savile's deceptively constructed suicide monologue is the absence of photographic evidence. Just to demonstrate, and certainly not to ridicule the condition, here is an example of what eating disorders look like in the advanced stages that Diana was claimed to have reached:
Karen Carpenter
Lindsay Lohan
Nicole Richie
Lara Flynn Boyle
The paparazzi is infamous for dodging the guards and snapping shots that the royals haven't authorised, including Fergie's toe-sucking fun with her new lover. And the media certainly didn't pull any punches on publishing photographs of the accident scene, so where's the evidence she was in such poor health that she needed isolation, psychiatric treatment and medication?
All that's out there is when Diana slimmed down to fit into her wedding dress, just as any normal, sane bride does. And, as for being emotionally volatile, even the Queen gets her bitch on more than occasionally. It's part and parcel of being a female - something Charles seems completely disconnected with, harshly judgmental towards and, given his close friendship with Savile, perhaps even pro-lobotomy.
National Security
As much to the dismay of the royal family, Diana didn't exactly pull off Savile's suicide script convincingly and, perhaps even, somewhat deliberately. In fact, much of the world saw her as a stronger woman and her person-ability was a welcomed change to the otherwise emotionless and cold brick wall of the monarchy.
Angered by the failed attempt to set the stage for her demise and, more so, by her apparent defiance, Diana's marriage to Charles was dissolved on August 28, 1996 by direct order of the Queen. Diana made it perfectly clear that she did not want to divorce Charles and be cut from her children's lives, but it seems the Queen had different ideas.
It was said Diana took Charles' entire personal fortune and left him penniless however, what we know of Diana is she wanted custody of the boys, not the money. And what we know of the Queen is, she doesn't negotiate - the boys were Her Majesty's legal property.
However, Diana was determined she was not going to be complicit in serving her own children on a silver platter to the paedophiles; it is presumed she pulled out the big-guns and threatened to topple the entire monarchy if they did not relinquish custody.
So fierce was her intention and so huge was her ammunition that she, essentially, waged war with the Queen of England and, thus, it became a matter of 'national security' to have her shut down.
In fact, the most recent inquiries into historical child sex abuse have also been vetoed by the Queen and shut down due to 'matters of national security'. It appears the Queen of England is well aware that all of her dominions, including her homelands, would rise up against her and drive her entire family out once the facts came to light.
Together with the long list of royally-endorsed suspects in leadership positions uncovered to date, world-wide exposure might escalate matters considerably from a 'national' threat to an 'international' threat. Enter: MI5 and MI6 who were, indeed, running a covert operation in France when Diana met her final demise.
Threat Eliminated
The commentary on the accident which claimed Diana's life and her subsequent inquest contains more twists than a fig tree, but the final (redacted) dossier released by White Hall gives an account of Diana having survived the crash at 12:35am, although badly injured, and being taken to hospital.
At the scene, a person belatedly attending the crash site had said "the princess has hurt her legs" and one of the first people to reach the crash site further confirmed Diana's position in the vehicle was curled on the floor behind the front passenger seat.
As we know, aside of wearing a seat-belt, this is one of the safest places to be during a front-on collision and the resulting condition of the vehicle corroborates this fact.
The person in the front passenger seat, directly in front of Diana, also survived after having suffered massive head injuries from colliding with the dash board. If at all Diana sustained head injuries, it was not caused by the dash-board, the air-bags or the crumpling of the car-body around her.
The dossier further reports Diana was still alive 3.45am. In fact, more than half the newspapers in the country published stories that corroborated the dossier accounts: "Dodi Dead, Di Badly Injured".
At the inquest the judge suggested, if it was at all a conspiracy to murder the Princess, that causing a car accident would not necessarily ensure she was killed. However, as the dossier further indicates, taking control of the crime scene and clearing out the hospital of all possible witnesses certainly provided ample opportunity to complete the job.
The dossier corroborates (in not so many words), Diana was ultimately murdered at the hospital and was officially pronounced dead at 4.00am. Exactly 12 months, almost to the day, of her divorce.
Also at the inquest, the UK ambassador confirmed the presence of MI5 and MI6 at that time was to liaise with the French authorities on security issues and matters of foreign policy, and Diana was considered as exactly THAT - a clear and present threat to international security.
It would appear the inquest did not consider crime-investigation-101: means, motive and opportunity. In fact, it would also appear evidence the vehicle had been deliberately run off the road was also brushed aside.
The prime suspect of which was never questioned and was later found in a burnt-out BMW with a hole in his head - a later inquiry concluded he purposely burned himself alive and, while burning to death, shot himself in the head.
The Saga Continues
News that hits the media outside of the monarchy's Commonwealth dominions is completely beyond the Queen's control hence, she was not able to (yet again) save Savile's reputation and veto any further investigations regarding his affiliations with, what we now know as, the international VIP child-trafficking network.
The subsequent conviction of billionaire Jeffery Epstein, not only exposed intricate connections between Savile and Epstein, but also implicated Prince Andrew as a VIP client who indulged in child sex abuse at Eptein's "Orgy-Island".
In 2012, the new Savile investigations opened a floodgate of claims by victims. By 2014, almost 150 UK government and royal officials had been implicated in child sex allegations. In 2015, Europol's international investigation turned its attention to the British establishment. In 2016, the UK defied Europol and launched the Brexit campaign, also shutting down its own national inquires into the network.
By December 2016, Europol reported it had rescued more than 300 children from one single line of investigation in 30 different countries.
And, just as hundreds of victims had already testified, a large percentage of the children who were rescued had no identity - that is - they were specifically bred by the network in order to disassociate with the previous procurers that were slowly being unraveled over the past 30 years.
Diana was not the only victim of this organized crime mob. It is believed many other whistle-blowers and less-trusted associates were also murdered, some by Savile's IRA connections and others by MI5 and MI6.
It is also said some of the abusers, like Lord Mountbatten and Sir Anthony Blunt, were murdered by their own victims. How ironic that would be if it were true.
If The People's Princess is, at all, to be honored this year, let us never forget what she died for. Rest in peace Your Royal Majesty, protector of our children and defiant defender of the moral crusade against child sex abuse.
