I bought the Audible version, very ably narrated by the author. I’ve listened to it in a single sitting, totally mesmerised, angered and astonished by this tale of corporate deception. I’m not a big fan of the BBC which I believe is a manipulative and monstrous organisation designed for control. A government organ that influences how people think and act. Recent events around manipulation of a Trump recording prove the point and the time for them to be brought to account is long overdue. Neither am I a royalist or Diana follower, but I found the circumstances of her death truly shocking. Long before that it was clear that there was a hidden subtext to the marriage to Charles, subsequent break up and everything that followed. It would be easy to dismiss her as somewhat unhinged, but her claims prior to her death that she would be murdered by car crash deserve serious consideration and review. The circumstances of her death have never been adequately explained and there are many unanswered questions. Andy Webb has taken a totally fresh path through this jungle of smoke and mirrors. His research has taken years and he’s overcome hurdle after hurdle to obtain previously unreleased papers about events, including email exchanges. One has to wonder how a state of the art organisation managed to lose literally thousands of relevant correspondence and has never been properly challenged about the data loss. Could it be a cover up at the heart of that supposedly illustrious institution? The events around the Bashir interview read like a Whitehall farce at times. Surrounded by secrecy, it makes for very uncomfortable reading given the possibility that he was such a negative influence and a proven liar. He clearly captivated her initially, with hours spent in her kitchen at Kensington Palace making pasta. What? Bizarre. But it seems clear that following his intervention, she lost trust in those who were genuinely looking out for her. Her friends and particularly Patrick Jephson, her PS for many years were suddenly persona non grata. I felt sorry for Jephson whose integrity seems beyond question in the way in which Diana peremptorily dumped him, causing him to resign. Webb explores links and similarities with other unexpected deaths; her former bodyguard in a motor accident and even the Grace Kelly crash. These may seem tenuous, but there’s a lot of food for thought. This book isn’t about, in my view, making a fast buck. It’s a serious investigative piece that raises a number of unanswered questions. They’re questions that challenge the heart of ‘the Establishment’ and we deserve answers. The Dyson report into the scandalous interview condemned the BBC, but failed to address a number of pertinent issues. The nation remains beholden to the BBC and the royal family. They’re institutions that are trusted. I believe that trust is misplaced and it’s time to wake up and understand that the ‘dark forces’ of which Diana was truly afraid, really do exist. The book’s a revelation; well written, engaging and honest. I hope it receives the wide audience it deserves although I haven’t noticed a fanfare of a guest spot on the One Show!
