‘Unlawful Killing’ Documentary to Show Princess Diana Death Photo at Cannes

A new documentary awaiting release at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival has already caused quite a stir in the UK because it will include – and show for the first time onscreen – a paparazzi photo taken as Princess Diana was dying in the 1997 crash in Paris.
The photo is available online – and has been so ever since the tragic event that shocked the world – but its inclusion in the documentary means it will be the first time it’s ever shown onscreen and, most importantly, to the British public, the Daily Mail points out.
Called “Unlawful Killing,” the documentary is a film by Keith Allen (father of singer Lily Allen), backed by Mohammed Fayed, whose son Dodi was in the car with Diana at the time and perished in the crash with her.
The photo shows Princess Diana in the wreckage as she was dying, and was taken by the paparazzi chasing her moments after the accident occurred. It’s already been printed in the tabloids.
While the Royal Family is not addressing the latest controversy in any way, friends of Diana’s are speaking out against the idea of the film, saying it’s shameless to exploit her death like that for profit.
“If this is true this is absolutely disgusting. The fact people are trying to make money – which is all that they are doing now – out of her death is quite frankly ... words fail me,” Rosa Monckton tells the Mail.
Allen is fending off such accusations by saying the documentary doesn’t actually show never before seen images that might be too shocking for the audiences: it’s just using a photo that’s already been out for years to prove a point.
Namely, that Diana was murdered by those closest to her – a point also made on the official webpage for the film.
“It reveals a cover-up by the British Establishment culminating in a six-month inquest,” reads a note on the page, as per the same Mail.
“Keith Allen’s ground-breaking documentary recreates key moments from the inquest and demonstrates how vital evidence of foul play was hidden from public scrutiny, how the royal family were exempted from giving evidence and how journalists, particularly those working for the BBC, systematically misreported the events and in particular, the verdict itself,” it is further said.
As such, “Unlawful Killing” is “the story of how the world was deceived.” The documentary will premiere at Cannes, and go to the US and the rest of the world afterwards. If need be, it will not be released in the UK at all.
She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.Accidents do happen.But i can understand why people think this was a unlawful killing.Surely it would not of taken four years,if the royal family wanted her dead.Surely Charles would not of wanted her dead he had two sons to her.People are just trying to make money out of this incident.The driver of the vehicle lost control of the car,trying to get away from the papparazzi,end of story.I think Diana was emotionally distraught when she was making these accusations,and sadly it did happen,but i feel there was no unlawful killing.But there should of been a full inquest to how this happened,and to why the speed cameras were all down.

Of course they're not going to murder her right after she writes the letter. That would be too suspicious. That's why they waited those four years. Its not everyday that a person predicts their own death, and even though it was years later. It happened almost exactly like Diana stated. Like Howard Stern said, how was it that "coincidentally" all the cameras under the tunnel just so happens to not work or turned off that very night. On top of that, how would you explain all the money deposited into the driver's account days before? If all that doesn't scream MURDER at you. Then you are really in denial my friend.
The Pictures of Princess Diana Should not be shown for the sake of Son's...Hope that Will becomes King instead of Charles...He is nothing but a Two Timer...and Should not be King..He and his Woman should not be in the running...And for her to be Queen..WHAT A JOKE.....

he shouldn't be allowed to be king, after all edward had to abtocate because he wanted to marry a divorced woman and it wasn't allowed. Hey what the hell is camilla, and before diana died he was a divorcee as well. I hope and believe the country will kick up a stink if he becomes king and I think it will be the end of royalty as we know it.
IMy heart goes out to Dianas childern but I have to say AT LONG LAST - when will the royal family be held resposible and when will the peolpe unite to bring down the royals whom caused this horrific death of a true angle.
Daily mail is selling kate middleton soul by overkilling it, that's why it is not allowing fair comments on unlawful killing of diana which is hushed up and the public lied to. If there is no cover up, why is the film not allowed to be shown in uk, what is there to hide and the public of thiis country lied to, because the monarchy has been supportd by the taxpayers.
