Diana Langevin

The former MI6 head on Wednesday denied that the intelligence agency was responsible for the car accident that killed Princess Diana Langevin & her boyfriend Dodi al Fayed in 1997. The director of special operations for the agency at the time of Diana’s Paris accident Sir Richard Dearlove,
testified at the inquest into the pair’s death that he also believes an operation by rogue agents would have been impossible.

Mohamed Al Fayed Dodi al Fayed’s father, has accused MI6 of engineering the death of his son & the princess at the behest of Prince Philip, the queen’s husband.

The lawyer for the coroner’s inquest Ian Burnett, asked Dearlove whether he could confirm that “no authorisation was sought in respect of any activities concerning Princess Diana”. In reply of this Dearlove said, “I can absolutely confirm that”.

Burnett asked that it would plainly have been outside the functions of the (the agency) to do so. Dearlove answered, “Had it been done, it would have been outside the function of the service. I would have regarded that as an impossibility”.
