The Diana Inquest Carries On

Today is day 43 of the long, drawn out inquest into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and her companion, Dodi Fayed.

So far we have learnt that Diana could not be pregant as she had had her period ten days before the accident, we have learnt that Diana needed a second marriage like a rash on her face, that Henri Paul was driving manicly and she was trying to make former lover Hasnat Khan jealous.

The Inquest makes me laugh. This will not make those who believe Diana was killed change their minds. I can't help thinking that after ten years, this inquest is several years too late. As much as I adore Diana, the sheer cost of this investigation is mind numbing. It has already cost nearly £20 million and the cost is ever rising.

But who is this inquest for? Is it for the British people in general, or for the Diana fanatics worldwide who cry out for a inquest no matter how much it will cost to Britain?

Yes, Diana, Dodi, Henri Paul and Trevor Rees-Jones deserve justice, but it does make me cross when so much money is being poured into it when the verdict is almost certainly likely to come back as accidental.

I'm hoping that after this inquest, Diana will be able to rest in peace. But I dont think that will happen. No matter how many inquests are held, to some, it will never bring them the results they want, therefore really is it all a huge waste of taxpayers money?
