Should the Queen give evidence?
38 Answers
Should the Queen be called to give evidence at the Diana inquest, and if not why?
Paul Burrell, Diana's Butler is to be called and the centre of his evidence will be his claim that the Queen warned him that there were 'dark forces' at work in Britain.
So why shouldn't she be called to testify under oath whether or or not she actually said this?

Absolutely not.
IF there was anything undercover here, by the British Secret Services, then well and good. There is quite enough invasion of Islam into this unfortunate country. To have a Muslim as a step-father to an heir to the Throne is unthinkable.
More power to their elbows, and cobblers to Al Fayed and his ugly Harrods.

I think that everyone has to look at the role that the media played in all of this tragedy and now in the reporting of the inquest. We will have six months of daily bulletins about the proceedings of that.
Diana sold copy and she still does so the media need to have something to write about her. I actually believe that the paparrazzi played a big part in the accident after all it was they who were pursuing her at speed. It was their behaviour that prompted the couple to try to escape The Ritz via the back entrance and with a different driver. It is they who are always writing about conspiracy theories. The media is a very powerful tool because we, human beings, always believe what they are writing.

whether any of us believe in the conspiracy theory or not the queen will never give evidence particularly if anything she may say would lead to the truth. the complete truth of this event will never be known to the general public whatever the outcome of the inquest which i suspect will be directed by the coroner well away from anything other than an accidental death.
let's face it this will be just another 'did they didn't they' to add to the list as mentioned in other postings

Who believe this was just an accident and off we go on another tiresome enquiry. This isn't just any old enquiry it's an inquest, required by law in this country for sudden deaths. They are usually held within 12 months of the event, at the most.
The establishment has managed to delay this for 10 years and has had a change of three or four coroners in the last twelve months or so. If that doesn't raise at least a small suspcion with you then I'll put you in touch with some friends of mine in Nigeria who have some money making schemes you may be interested in.
Interesting to note that the current coroner has rejected totally the Lord Stevens report because of the failure to interview important witnesses.

Isn't it amazing that the people on here calling for the queen to testify are also the people who keep complaining about people coming into this country and not respecting our laws and cultures.
Ruby has provided you with the relevant information - the Queen cannot be called to testify under the law.
So why don't you people (4GS, Naomi, Dassie etc) RESPECT OUR LAWS & CUSTOMS or clear off to another country?
Or is it just foreigners who can't have opinions?

Oneeyedvic, it's true the Queen cannot be called to testify, but there's nothing to stop her giving evidence voluntarily - and if she does have relevant evidence, I believe she should offer it. That opinion may differ from yours, but nevertheless, it's my opinion.
I take great exception to your contention that I "keep complaining about people coming into this country and not respecting our laws and cultures" and that I "believe foreigners can't have opinions." That simply isn't true. Your implication is that I'm racist, and I find that hugely offensive. Perhaps if you calmed down a bit and looked at my post on this thread in response to Bodylice, you'd be capable of getting your facts straight before insulting people.

First of all, I apologise if you think that I am implying that you are racist - that was not my intention to any of the named people - I actually confused you with someone else.
My actual point still stands though. I was not trying to call people racist - just point out the irony of their stance. There have been several comments from various people who have all said that Muslims et al should come over here and respect out laws and culture but then go on to complain about our laws and culture.
Apologies again Naomi for naming you and the implication it may have brought.

Oneeyed. RESPECTING the laws of the land is totally different to so called COMPLAINING as you put it.
All citizens and visitors should respect the law but that doesn't mean to say the law is perfect and could do with some updating/improvement/change with the times? The "complaining" as you refer to it, is actually an opinion on the current state of the laws.

So the Muslim chap who doesn't want to serve alcohol?
The Muslims who apply for planning permission to build a mosque?
Women who wear hijabs?
Presumably you have no problem with any of these people as they are not breaking the law?
They are all fighting for what they believe is right and fair - just as you believe that the Queen should testify as that is right and fair.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion - whether they are British born or Immigrants or even visitors.

Have we not the right to complain if we so wish? They are our laws and our culture. And yes if Muslims come here they should respect our laws and culture, just as we would if we went to a muslim country.
The difference is Oneeyedvic that this is a Protestant country, and our laws and culture go back many centuries.
Therefore we have every right to criticise them if we so wish, but not to break them. They are our laws, it is our culture and our country. Any other cuture is alien to our country. Foreigners (as you call them) are free to have opinions and even criticise if they wish, but never to change.

The plain fact of the matter is that if the silly woman had been wearing a seatbelt she wouldn't have been killed.
Do you know this for an absolute certainty, empressali? Had she been thrown forward through the windscreen?
Was she killed in the back seat of the car, before she was put in the ambulance, or was she killed in the ambulance?
The plot thickens.

None of us know anything for absolute definite....except for the bodyguard! If she was so afraid that somebody was out to get her though, surely the simple safety step of fastening her seat belt should have been a high priority. I was saved from serious injury by my seat belt many years ago and I would never travel without fastening mine.
It is indeed a story which has captured everyone's imagination and I doubt we will be any the wiser after this inquest.
