Quarter of Britons believe Diana was murdered, poll finds
A quarter of Britons believe Princess Diana was murdered, according to an opinion poll published six years after her death. The survey in the Sunday Express newspaper found that 27 percent of respondents believed Diana was murdered, 51 percent thought she wasn't and the remaining 22 percent had no opinion. Forty-nine percent of people questioned in the poll, conducted by polling company NOP, said they thought there had been a cover-up of the circumstances of Diana's death following a car crash in a Paris tunnel on Aug. 31, 1999. Her companion Dodi Fayed and driver Henri Paul were also killed. Officials announced last week that a British coroner is preparing an inquest into the death of Fayed, although no date has been set. NOP interviewed 1,002 people by phone for the Sunday Express poll, which had a margin of error of three percentage points. The newspaper didn't say when the poll was conducted.
