Published on page 11 of today's New York Post (Metro Edition), via Reuters in London, is a story concerning James Hewitt, the former lover of Diana, Princess of Wales. Dubbed 'the love rat,' for his tells-all attitude towards the late princess, Hewitt says that recently he re-enacted the last drive taken by Diana.
While lunching with four beautiful Venezuelan women, Hewitt said he got drunk, and "decided to conduct a little test". One of his companions had a Mercedes of the same model which carried Diana and Dodi al-Fayed.
"So I got the girls into the Mercedes, jumped in the driver's seat and started bombing round the Periphique [Paris ring road] until we got to the underpass where she died". The article notes that a gaggle of paparazzi were waiting for him to emerge from the Paris restaurant, with his bevy of beauties.
"I don't care how drunk you are. There's no way you'd hit that pillar [in the underpass] unless something happened to make you veer off the road. It was definitely a set-up".
Hewitt told GQ magazine he now agrees with Fayed's father, Mohamed al-Fayed, that the fatal crash was a set-up.
Al-Fayed is apparently proceeding with a libel suit in High Court, accusing Prince Philip of masterminding the deaths of his son Dodi, Diana, and driver Henri Paul.
Questions:
1) has there ever been any explanation for the monies discovered in the many bank accounts owned by Henri Paul?
2) has there ever been any explanation for why the blood tests of Henri Paul showed a high level of carbon monoxide? that is not consistent with being drunk.
3) has there been any credible linkage to the event -- whatever it was -- that brought down Swissair Flight 111, which was jam-packed with gold, jewels, money, a Picasso and lots of people? Were the British secret agents culpable for the deaths of Diana and Dodi on that aircraft? Was it taken down with a high tech laser that literally melted its plastic wiring and made huge amounts of smoke inside the plane, but which did not burn anything?
4) does 'love rat' James Hewitt have a death wish?
