About this listen

The death of Princess Diana, Princess of Wales, sent shockwaves around the world. A nation was left in mourning, but soon feelings of suspicion surfaced: was her death all that the Establishment might wish us to believe?

Now, after an exhaustive two-year probe, investigative writer and former journalist Noel Botham has dared to reveal what the people of Britain have always believed - that Diana's death was murder.

Using his unique contacts in the secretive worlds of intelligence and royalty, the author has uncovered the facts that prove Diana was - as she herself predicted she would be - the victim of a professional hit squad. He presents a clear account of what really happened on that fateful day of 31 August 1997. Why was the killing sanctioned? How was it executed? Was there really another car in the tunnel at the time of the crash? All of these questions and more, including how the truth was covered up by an official whitewash, are answered.

This astounding book is what all enquiring minds have been waiting for, blowing the lid off the secrets the Establishment does not want us to know. The Murder of Princess Diana firmly lays to rest the theory that Diana's death was a tragic accident, and finally gives the people of Britain the explanation they deserve.

powerful

Appalling mispronunciation of common words at times spoils the narration at times of a powerful and disturbing publication

Very interesting

Sadly the narration spoils this book. Very robotic voice, I persevered as I wanted to know the story. It was very interesting and confirmed to me that Diana was murdered as I had thought. If you enjoyed this, read The Rebel Prince and it should confirm any thoughts that Prince Charles is a horror of a human being and that wife of his has a lot to answer for. What a contemptible couple. Diana might not have been perfect but she did not deserve the treatment she endured. The Royal Family must surely be the most disfunctional family, and there is a little of the mafia about them.

Decent conspiracy theory destroyed by awful narration

I had to force myself to keep going back to this book in order to get to the detail of the content and the conclusion in spite of the narration which is awful, specifically the very poor pronunciation of many words and phrases in both English and French in particular and including numerous names of people and places. The tone and intonation is also very strange and makes for a difficult listen. Whoever, oversaw/edited (reviewed and listened to) the narration was completely off the ball.

A great read

The readers voice has an unusual intonation and monotone that is quite difficult to listen to at the start. After a while I got used to it though. The story is amazing. The first 10 chapters discusses the dirty deeds of Charles, Princess Ann and the Parker Bowles, as well as the various dramatic events surrounding Diana's life. Then the last 9 chapters goes into detail the events surrounding her death, the characters involved and the efforts made to cover up and ignore vital parts of information. A great read.

Great listening for insomniacs !!!

The man is telling us the conspiracy theory we have all believed since this tragedy happened that indeed, as predicted by Diana herself, she would be killed in a car crash, but dismissed by many because she was "paranoid". I never dismiss a story from someone when they are called paranoid as a person's instincts are usually spot on.
A lot of what he says we have heard before but my goodness he has the most boring voice in telling the story. He cannot say woman, it's wimen. Other little nuances, because of his slow precise speech, tend to irk a little, from the first chapter.
A really interesting story but be prepared to fall asleep while listening to it!!!!

A fascinating story but terrible narration

Would you try another book written by Noel Botham or narrated by Simon Whistler?

Book by Noel Botham most defiantly, narrated by Simon Whistler not a chance!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator ends every sentence with empathies very much like Quentin Wilson used to do on top gear, after a while this becomes super annoying.

Did The Murder of Princess Diana inspire you to do anything?

The narrator inspired me to jump off a bridge

Any additional comments?

A well-researched and fascinating story let down by really bad narration.

A clear case of murder

Noel Botham gives a clear well detailed account of princess Diana's last hours and probable murder. Many facts I had never heard of before.
