(Conspiracy Nation, 8/22/02) -- A "constitutional crisis" involving the intertwined Church of England and the British monarchy was a motivating force behind the assassination of Princess Diana Spencer five years ago this month.
As detailed in the book, Princess Diana: The Hidden Evidence (by Jon King and John Beveridge; ISBN: 1-56171-922-6), a divorced British monarch cannot, by the rules of the Anglican church, remarry. Since the British king also serves as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Prince Charles could not have wed Camilla Parker Bowles while his ex-wife Diana was still alive.
On July 18, 1997, an aide to Britain's Lord Chancellor stressed the possibly looming crisis when he stated "that a constitutional crisis regarding the marriage of Prince Charles and Mrs. Parker Bowles would result in the 'disestablishment of the Church.'" (King and Beveridge, op. cit.)
It is forbidden by the Church of England for divorcees to be wed in their church. Since Prince Charles would be Supreme Governor of that Church, he, most of all, would be bound by the rules. However if, unfortunately, his former wife Diana were to suddenly die, then this would smooth the path toward now widower Charles getting married again.
Britain's MI-5, similar to the FBI, is tasked with internal "national security" matters. They contrast with Britain's MI-6 which, like the CIA, is tasked with external "national security" matters. MI-5 favored assassinating Camilla Parker Bowles rather than Lady Diana Spencer. Diana was much more "high profile" than Ms. Bowles; murdering Diana would be too "messy." If, on the other hand, Ms. Bowles were eliminated, that would avert any constitutional crisis -- for the time being, anyway.
On June 11, 1997, Ms. Bowles was driving at a high rate of speed to visit Prince Charles at one of his residences. She lost control of the car and crashed head-on into an approaching vehicle. Luckily, Ms. Bowles escaped with minor injuries. According to one of King and Beveridge's informants, Ms. Bowles survived a botched MI-5 assassination attempt.
As already stated, MI-5 favored eliminating Camilla Parker Bowles rather than Lady Diana because Ms. Bowles would be an easier target. But when Diana went to the United States in early 1997 and persuaded then-president Bill Clinton to sign onto an international ban on the use of landmines, the powerful military-industrial complex became furious. They effectively ordered the CIA and MI-6 to eliminate "the Diana problem."
On August 31, 1997, Lady Diana Spencer was murdered, in Paris, by means of an automobile "accident." Other motivations for her killing, besides the threatening "constitutional crisis" and her hindering of profits to the huge armaments industry, were her impending marriage to Dodi al-Fayed and her outspokenness. Diana had emerged from the demure female role apparently still favored by monarchical types; she had become a "loose cannon", not spouting pre-approved meaningless feminist rhetoric but focusing on issues which were truly disturbing to the power elite. She had to go.
Less than three weeks after Diana's death, Bill Clinton reneged on his previous promise to support the proposed international ban on the use of landmines.
