Mohamed al-Fayed can safely be ignored by TPTB - the hatchet job on him, together with his own ham-fistedness is assurance enough of that - but skeletons being rattled by the Althorps and their Argentinian connections? Hmmm that's another matter entirely; not to mention the cognitive dissonance that her two sons must be wrestling with.Agree with AL-Fayed. But I think there is much cognitive dissonance with some. One has just had his own child as well. That often brings an existential clarity with it.
Peter Presland Wrote:I agree David's 'Defense of the Realm Boys' attribution but pose the question 'where does that definition end and the Royal Household begin?'Although remember the praetorian guard killed Calligula and installed the 'idiot' Claudius. The family itself can also be just as much at the mercy of some.
My answer is that there's a seamless continuity. All Special Forces/Intel/Military officers swear allegiance to the Crown. We are regularly harangued about the implications of 'constitutional Monarchy' for allegedly real Royal power, but frankly most of that is for the gullible. 'Royal prerogative' powers are still greater in their scope than those of Parliament itself, up to and including declaring war. They are legally vested in the Prime Minister of the day but anyone who thinks the holder of that office does anything of significance these days other than on the advice of the Privy Council and/or other Deep State constructs, is living in cloud cuckoo land.

I think the anguished question posed by Henry II about Thomas Becket in 1170 "Will nobody rid me of this turbulent priest?" and its consequences is probably a pretty accurate analogy of what happened with Diana Princess of Wales.I think this scenario very likely.
