Princess Diana met a tragic end at the age of 36 in a devastating car accident in Paris.

However, a recent revelation by an expert suggests that she might have been saved if she had taken a simple precautionary measure.

According to a new book, Princess Diana’s fatal injury was described as minuscule, occurring in an uncommon location and being exceptionally rare, as stated by a renowned forensic pathologist.

The expert, Dr. Richard Shepherd, asserts that had Princess Diana been wearing a seat belt during the car crash in 1997, she would likely have survived.

He believes that if she had been securely restrained in the back seat, the beloved mother of Princes William and Harry would have emerged with only minor injuries like broken bones and bruises, enabling her to appear in public within a couple of days.

In his upcoming book titled “Unnatural Causes,” Dr. Shepherd elaborates on the unique nature of Diana’s fatal injury, emphasizing its rarity throughout his extensive career.

He dismisses any conspiracy theories surrounding her untimely demise, emphasizing the significance of the small yet crucial tear in one of her lungs.

Dr. Shepherd highlights the missed opportunities that could have altered the tragic outcome, labeling Diana’s death as a classic example of an “if only” scenario.

He points out that if only she had buckled up, hit the seat in front at a different angle or speed, or been promptly attended to after the crash, the outcome might have been drastically different.

The pathologist emphasizes the pivotal role of a seat belt in potentially mitigating the severity of Diana’s injuries.

Had she been secured, Dr. Shepherd believes she would have sustained minor physical trauma, such as a black eye, fractured ribs, and a broken arm, rather than facing a fatal outcome.

Despite sustaining a few broken bones and a minor chest injury, the delayed recognition of the severity of Princess Diana’s condition prevented immediate medical intervention.

Her companions in the car included her wealthy boyfriend Dodi Fayed, driver Henri Paul, and bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, who was the sole survivor due to wearing a seat belt.

Dr. Shepherd explains the dynamics of the crash, outlining how the sequence of events led to the tragic fatalities.

He underscores the critical role of safety measures, such as seat belts, in reducing the impact of collisions and potentially saving lives.

Following extensive investigations and inquiries into the circumstances surrounding Diana’s death, including a British inquest and a French police probe, the consensus pointed towards the tragic incident being an accident exacerbated by excessive speed and intoxication on the part of the driver.

Dr. Shepherd’s involvement in reviewing the evidence as part of a comprehensive police inquiry corroborated the findings that Princess Diana’s death was a result of a fatal accident.

Despite lingering questions and conspiracy theories, the expert concurred with the official assessments of the tragic event.

In his forthcoming book, Dr. Shepherd delves into not only Princess Diana’s case but also other significant investigations he has been involved in, shedding light on the complexities of forensic pathology and high-profile cases.

Additionally, a recent documentary highlighted the intricate dynamics within the royal family, revealing personal rifts and intimate moments captured through family photos.
