A British inquiry into the Paris car crash that killed Princess Diana has concluded that her death was a "tragic accident" and not the result of a high-level murder conspiracy.
Our conclusion is that on the evidence available now there was no conspiracy to murder any occupants of that car, this was a tragic accident," said the former head of London police, John Stevens, who headed the investigation.
"I have personally ensured that every reasonable line of inquiry has been undertaken... we are confident that the allegations made are unfounded," said Stevens.
"I see nothing that would justify further inquiries with any member of the Royal Family."
The investigation into the Aug. 31, 1997, crash that killed Diana, 36, and her companion Dodi Al Fayed, 42, has been surrounded by rumours of conspiracies.
The couple was killed along with chauffeur Henri Paul when their Mercedes crashed in the Pont d'Alma tunnel while their vehicle was being chased by paparazzi.
The report concludes that Paul was drunk, twice the British legal limit, at the time and that the couple's travel plans had been changed by the pursuing paparazzi.

Bottom line: a drunk driver was driving over 60 mph in a 30 mph zone and crashed into a pillar. The drunk driver was a longtime employee of the Fayed family.
End of discussion. No assassin on a grassy knoll, no Prince Philip hit squad, no alien abductions.
The late Quentin Crisp spoke truthfully, if bluntly, that Princess Diana's fast and shallow lifestyle contributed to her own demise: "She could have been Queen of England -- and she was swanning about Paris with Arabs. What disgraceful behavior. Going about saying she wanted to be the queen of hearts. The vulgarity of it is so overpowering." (Atlanta Southern Voice, 1 July 1999).
Or to put it more kindly, both Diana and her brother, Charles Spencer, probably suffered from borderline personality disorder (BPD), rooted in their mother's abandonment of them when they were young children. For Charles Spencer, BPD expressed itself as insatiable sexual promiscuity (his wife was divorcing him at the time of Diana's death). For Diana, BPD expressed itself as intense insecurity and an insatiable need for attention and affection (which even the best husband could never have fulfilled). These sowed the seeds of her fast lifestyle and her tragic fate.
