Lily Allen’s father has filed a death claim against Princess Diana
Keith, 72, also dismissed conspiracy theories that Diana had planned to marry her Muslim partner Dodi Fayed, who many believe became pregnant before they both died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
The actor – father of singer Lily and Game of Thrones star Alfie Allen – stated: “People think it has something to do with the fact that the royal family hates Diana, and her taking revenge on them through a Muslim and apparently being pregnant and the implications of an heir to the throne.
‘It is unclear. In fact, what people often forget is that she has become a spokesperson and point of contact for banning landmines.’
Keith added that Diana’s reach was so powerful that she involved US President Bill Clinton in her campaign.
But he said Clinton’s betrayal of the promise he made to Diana to ban landmines was proof she was murdered.
Keith seethed, “There was so much money involved in making landmines and Diana got Bill Clinton to sign a ban order. Within four days of her death, Clinton withdrew his signature. I would say Diana was murdered.”
Diana’s supporters were stunned when Clinton bowed to pressure from US intelligence bosses in the Pentagon and refused to sign a treaty banning the weapons.
The US still uses landmines and under the 1993 Clinton administration US agents tapped Diana’s phone calls while she was staying with her friend Lucia Fletcher de Lima at the Brazilian embassy in Washington.
The National Security Agency still has a top secret file containing about 30 transcripts of those private conversations, which Clinton may have read.
Keith’s film about Di’s death, Unlawful murderwas withdrawn from British distribution after censors demanded 87 cuts before it could be released in Britain.
His documentary, backed by Dodi’s ex-Harrod’s late tycoon father Mohamed Al Fayed, caused outrage when it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 2011 – because it included a paparazzi photo of Diana in the wreckage of the crashed Mercedes in a Paris underpass.
The photo, taken shortly after the blow in 1997, which also killed Di and Dodi, had never been seen publicly.
Keith defended his film in 2011.
He scoffed at the demand for almost 100 cuts before the film could be shown in Britain because he feared it contained defamatory statements: “A shame, because at a time when the sugar rush of the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton has left Republicans in a diabetic coma, this could act as a welcome antidote.”
Conspiracy theorists have long believed that 36-year-old Diana was murdered in 1997 because she planned to expose high-ranking members of the arms trade involved in the multi-billion dollar business of landmine production.
Michael Mansfield QC – who represented Dodi’s father Mohamed al-Fayed in the inquest into the deaths of his son Dodi and the former royal family – is among those supporting the theory.
He said Diana claimed she had an ‘exposure diary’ in which she set out to expose the people most closely involved in Britain’s landmine production.
Mansfield stated: ‘I think everyone remembers that she brought attention to the landmines.
‘Everyone is aware that British involvement in the arms trade, particularly landmines, is and has been a major vested interest.
“It seems she had several visits planned. She had already been to Angola, she would go to Cambodia later this year.
‘She was going to set up an institute for the victims of the exploded land mines.
“There were a large number of landmines manufactured by the British and I think, and a witness who knew her well, claimed that she had a diary in which she went about exposing the people most closely involved in the British arms trade. It seems to me that this is not unrelated to her death.”
