Is it true: Princess Diana's Death?
No — this has been debunked.
Henri Paul had a blood alcohol level of approximately 0.175% (three times the French legal limit) and was driving at around 105 km/h in a zone limited to 50 km/h. The 832-page Operation Paget report (2006) and the 2008 UK inquest verdict of "unlawful killing" through "gross negligence" by Paul and the pursuing paparazzi found no evidence of MI6 involvement, no evidence Diana was pregnant, and no evidence of a pre-arranged murder. The conspiracy theories rely largely on Mohamed Al-Fayed's allegations, which the inquest systematically examined and rejected.
