It was hard for them to believe that such a compassionate, celebrated figure could die so senselessly, so it didnt take long for theories to surface about why certain people in power would want her dead. Princess Diana was killed on purpose.?Some think she was pregnant and planning to marry her boyfriend, Dodi Al-Fayed (son to the owner of Harrods and Pariss Ritz Hotel), and planning to become Muslim, which mightve worried the British Royal Family, given her influence on the people. Others state that the family wanted her out of the way so that people would support Prince Charless remarriage. There are also optimists who believe she faked her death to escape the public eye.The government was involved in 9/11.This is currently the most researched conspiracy theory on the Internet. Theories are about the role of the U.S. government in the events of September 11, 2001, but most state that either the Bush administration had previous knowledge of the attacks and didnt act or that it orchestrated the entire thing. Both versions center on the belief that Bush and company wanted to gain more power quickly and get the support of the people.
