Princess Diana Part IV Versace Murder Had Political Motive

Apparently, Diana thought that Gianni Versace was important enough to become the victim of a political conspiracy. She also believed that she was being targeted by the same people that went after Versace (1).
If it was true that she had those beliefs, then it shows not only a high level of shallowness, but also a paranoia that would socially cripple just about anyone.
Yet, as I've written in my earlier articles on Diana, the opposite was true. While it is well known that Spencer frequently expressed fears for her security, it is utterly ignored by Diana conspiracy theorists that she also frequently shunned security concerns.
In 2004, a video tape containing Diana discussing her affair with Barry Mannakee was unearthed. The tryst occurred in between the period of 1985-87. The tape, made in 1992, revealed Spencer's suspicions that Mannakee had been murdered in 1987.
However, if one reads this link, the story does not make for a convincing murder scenario due to the elaborate nature of the conspiracy required. In reality folks, all they needed to silence him would have been poisoning (2) or a faked suicide attempt (3).
Spencer's one time lothario James Hewitt, received threats that he might end up like Mannakee. However, I struggle with Hewitt. He had a book to sell. Also, as it turns out, all of Spencer's lovers while she was with Charles were alive and kicking at the time of the Paget report.
These facts make the "honour killing" angles rather weak (4).

Was Princess Diana Really in Fear?

During his two year liaison with Diana, Khan never once mentioned her having any fears of the Royal family, nor her speaking out of turn about them.
Indeed, the person most opposed to any marriage with a Muslim appeared to be Spencer's mother. There are a number of witnesses Imran Khan, Jemima Khan and Paul Burrell (a dubious individual, who is of interest in the case) who have discussed Diana's enquiries into marrying into the Islamic religion.
Yet, Hasnat Khan has stressed that in no way would he have enforced Diana to marry into it. Further that, he apparently had the goodwill of Prince Charles in his endeavours.
In the Paget Report (pages 97-100), Lord Mischon, her divorce lawyer with Charles, documented her concerns in 1995. On the 20th of October 2003 Paul Burrell, her butler, went public in the Daily Mirror with a letter from Diana outlining these concerns via a note written in October 1993 in which she believed Charles was planning a brake failure in her car.
For arguments sake, I will say it is authentic. The problem is that on page 97 of the Paget Report it is remarkably clear that Mischon never really thought she was in danger. Likewise, Burrell also believed Spencer's claims for her life were typically melodramatic.
With regard to the above, I ask if she was so fearful of sabotage, why did she not wear her seatbelt in the car that fateful night?
She never wore her seatbelt.
In fact, judging by her one time security chief, Ken Wharfe, it appears Spencer was not an ardent seat belt wearer as many like to claim. Indeed, she had to be reminded to wear them often (5). Further, she was clearly not wearing her seatbelt that night, as seen in many photos on the night of the accident (6).

"While under my protection, whenever we got in the car she would always say, I suppose you want me to have this bloody seatbelt on'. She needed someone to tell her in the car that night, Ma'am, do your belt up'. But none of the protection officers would in the Fayed system; instructions to back-seat passengers would not be delivered for fear of dismissal."

Princess Diana Never Increased Security

Mischon thus made salient points. Why are there no records of her ever checking her own cars for discrepancies? One has to ask why, if she had any concerns, she never increased her own security?
