ORIGINAL: PeonForHer TBH, everything about those rape charges cuts very much both ways. Yes, it could be a conspiracy and this would be a very effective way of destroying him. Killing a man makes him a martyr; convicting him of some low-down and despicable crime will make him scum - the sort of person no-one would want to listen to and the sort of person who no-one would want to be like. It was said of Princess Diana that if MI5 had really wanted to 'neutralise' her influence, they'd have soiled her name in a similar way rather than murder her. Possibly, but at the risk of derailing the thread, my guess is that the old bat and her husband let their guard slip once or twice, and Diana inadvertantly struck upon some kind of dirt on the royals, hazmat highly toxic grade, and her unwavering affection from the public convinced MI5 they'd never truly discredit her (particularly after the Bashir interview late in '95), whereas whatever she had on her in-laws could have destroyed the monarchy. Old Liz gets frantic by '97, not about her grandsons possibly having a moslem step-father, but that Diana, after some champers and some careless pillow talk with her swarthy new arab beau, might let slip the dirt, he goes and blabs to Al Fayed Senior, who in turn has God knows how many connections throughout the Middle East, who would all love to be the first to bring down the monarchy of arguably the most notorious western power. I can't help but wonder if they waited until the new boy Blair had his feet under the desk, a shitload of learning to do, and closed the show...
