PRINCES William and Harry last night called for an end to the speculation surrounding the crash which killed their mother after a police investigation concluded Diana, Princess of Wales, died as the result of a tragic accident.

IMO: I hold basically little sympathy for the UK royal family, but on for example Prince Charles's own description of his unenviable school day experiences it really is necessary to be reasonable about all this when there is no serious evidence for anything other than the sort of accident one well might have expected from somebody in Diana's final circumstances. In fact I can recall when I heard, shortly after the accident happened and my reaction was that it was about what you'd expect.

It is not even sensibly favoring poor old Mohammed Al Fayed to bother further. Al Fayed with his dodgy souvenir shop 'Harrods' - nothing like as good as say even Macy's or Bloomingdale's - has surely already wasted enough of the UK time and money - and Egypt's - in exploring this obvious Diana nonsense. Decent people have to suffer for the whims of lunatics and it is not just that we should do so further. Al Fayed would be better lowering prices in Harrods, selling better stuff there and stopping offending people.
