Fatal Voyage: Princess Diana

Introduction to arguably the most iconic woman of the 20th Century, with a brief overview of her complicated life and her monumental efforts on behalf of Aids and anti-landmine charities to her tragic death in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Central Paris on August 31, 1997. McLaren sets out on a journey to finally answer the question, what really happened that fateful night?

In order to understand what might have happened to Princess Diana, investigator Colin McLaren goes back to the beginning, delving into everything from her early days in the Palace, her broken marriage and her difficult relationship with the Royals.

London picks sides and the establishment gloves come off as Diana's marriage splinters with the release of embarrassing secret tapes of Diana and an old flame, as well as raunchy recordings from Charles and Camilla. The scandal explodes with a tell-all book and a tearful appearance on BBC's Panorama. The Queen demands a divorce leaving Diana a Royal pariah on the outside.

With Diana's fame white-hot and the paparazzi pursuing her every move, Diana accepts an invitation to summer in St. Tropez as a guest Harrods owner and millionaire, Mohamed Al-Fayed. A romance sparks with his son, Dodi Fayed and the Princess is set on a collision course that will seal her fate.

Renowned investigator, Colin McLaren examines the final hours of Diana's life as she and companion, Dodi Fayed return to Paris and are relentlessly pursued by a swarm of paparazzi. The events of that afternoon and the decisions made just after midnight will set the course for the horrific car crash that would take her life and the lives of three others.

Colin Mclaren examines layers of flawed decision-making that contributed to the untimely death of the Princess and three other passengers in the Mercedes S280. He scrutinizes the failures in the security detail provided by Mohamed Al-Fayed and the man who took the wheel, head of security for the Hotel Ritz, Henri Paul.

In 1997, Colin McLaren watched the reports of the fatal crash that killed Princess Diana on TV like everyone else, but the egregious actions of French Police had him jump on a plane to get answers before it was too late. Today, McLaren confirms the path of the mysterious white Fiat and identifies critical evidence missed at the crash site still there after more than two decades.

Former Detective, Colin McLaren tracks down credible eyewitnesses and eliminates the hangers-on who have confused the facts. He receives a play-by-play from a French photographer, Pierre, to dissect the events of the day and night.

At the time, the car was amongst the most popular compacts in Europe and one of thousands registered in Paris. McLaren seeks the answers to questions that both French and British authorities are still not asking.

In the wake of the tragedy, conspiracy theories exploded in the press and public. These theories arose not only due to claims made by grieving father, Mohammed Al-Fayed, but also because of the secrets surrounding the years-long investigation. Could there be truth to any of these conspiracy theories? Colin McLaren interviews those entrenched in the case to sort fact from fiction.

If there was mistrust towards those investigating the crash, it would explode when Diana's butler and lawyer came forward with documents detailing her real fears of a plot to take her life. From the Paget Report to the final Coroner's Inquest at the High Court, McLaren takes a look at government gaffs and opportunities missed that still plague the investigation to this day.

Colin McLaren and his team lay out all of the evidence they have accrued and search for Le Van Thanh, the driver of the white Fiat. With his team of investigative journalists, McLaren tracks Van Thanh down at his Paris home. Their conversation will blow the case wide open.
