  • Cannes: Diana Film Slams Royals As “Gangsters”

      At a press conference post screening, Keith Allen has insisted his documentary about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, which screened today at the Cannes Film Festival to a select audience of invited journalists and other guests, was not “a sensationalist film”.

      Early reports have depicted that the film shows Prince Philip as a psychopath and that the British Royal Family are racist “gangsters in tiaras.”

      Allen told a press conference shortly after the screening:

      I didn’t want to make a sensationalist film, I don’t believe it is a sensationalist film. I think it is a very forensic analysis of a process, a British legal process, and I think it reveals things that, I’m sorry, don’t add up.

      He also defended the brief use of a photograph in the film which showed Diana in the car shortly after the crash. Allen said it was not “as sensational or revealing as people make it out to be,” and one journalist has even said you could barely see anything.

      During the film Allen reportedly interviews a psychologist, Oliver James, who describes Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen’s husband, as being a psychopath.

      Mr James claims to have heard a story about Philip being at a party where he wore a leather jacket and was dancing to a Rolling Stones song while his hand was up a woman’s skirt.

      The film is said to go into annoying detail about every conspiracy theory that claims that Princess Diana was murdered by all sorts of people including the British Secret Services.

      Some more controversy emerged about Philip and claims were made by writer Noel Botham that the Duke had affairs with Princess Margaret and Princess Alexandra.

      Mohamed Al Fayed allegedly also has a good rant and supposedly says that the inquest was a whitewash and that the “British Establishment has gotten away with murder.” He added that “My son fell in love with Diana, they murdered them.”

      Simone Simons, who was Princess Diana’s fortune teller, also claims that Diana was murdered and Piers Morgan, Lauren Booth and Tony Curtis featured in the film but appear not to have made any startling revelations.

      Supposedly the film ends with Allen filming Al Fayed burning the royal warrants that used to hang outside Harrods until the Palace stripped them from him in the garden close to where his son is buried.

      Martin Gregory, author of books into Diana’s death, called it “piffle” and said all that the film exposes “are Al Fayed’s insecurities” and that the documentary was all about “life on planet Al Fayed.”

      Al Fayed reportedly financed the film to the tune of £2.5 million.
