Diana Inquest: The Cost Is Mounting


To date the inquest into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed has amounted to: £1,308,291.26 with a extra £187,464.oo all paid for by the British taxpayer.

As much as I adore Diana, I feel that this cost is absurd, and if it runs till next Easter the cost will be over the £2 million mark. The Paget report cost enough, surely isn't that enough? We could of had the report and a smaller inquest which would of saved a lot of money.

I do hope that Mr Al Fayed and all of those American die-hard Diana fans (as seen and encountered by us on the Royalist) will all contribute to the cost, as these are the people who have endlessly gone on and on about a inquest. Alas, they wont and again the British Taxpayer loses out.

If this offended I am truly sorry. However, when I see pensioners struggling to cope on a meagre state pension being sent to prison because they can't afford their council tax, or in fact, sitting in a freezing house as they can't afford their heating bills its a bit rich seeing nearly £2 million being spent on a inquest for a woman who died ten years ago. We know the outcome will be accidental death, the Paget report said so and so will this inquest. Please, lets not waste any more money. Let the taxes go to the people who deserve and need it. What good is all this expense? How will it help Diana exactly?
