THE former Metropolitan Police Commissioner who probed the death of Princess Diana claims people will always believe she was murdered.
Lord Stevens said the 36-year-old Royal was so well-liked and her death was so sudden and violent the truth will never be satisfactory for some.
The one-time Scotland Yard chief headed a team of elite detectives and specialists who investigated the car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997.
Lord Stevens said: “She was so popular. People find it very difficult to understand how someone like that could die in such an accident.
“You will have certain people around who, whatever the evidence, will still think there is a conspiracy here. I think it is probably impossible to persuade them otherwise.”
On the fateful night, the Mercedes carrying the Princess, being driven by French chauffeur Henri Paul – who was well over the drink limit – struck a Fiat at speed.
