I woke up this morning wondering if Princess Diana really threw herself down stairs or just said she did it to herself to cover for someone else so they weren't charged with criminal domestic assault.
It was the local Coquille "Royals" that got me thinking about it.
So I wondered who was even around her then because she said she fell down the stairs and ended up at the feet of the Queen, who was shocked. So today I went back and checked something out and it's said Charles was there and left to go riding.
Regardless of position, Queen and Charles were both present it appears. It's possible there was a servant but maybe not. Anyone else? we don't know.
However, since Diana was pregnant, no matter how she fell, the problem was that she'd require medical attention so she'd have to have some kind of explanation for why the Dr. came.
I think it's possible she was pushed and covered for them.
Just because she was bulimic or stabbed herself with a pen knife, doesn't mean she threw herself down stairs. She has a history of being self-deprecating to her own disadvantage. For example, she said of herself that she was "dull as a block" or something like that, "thick as a plank" and it was to make someone else feel better even though it took away from her own extremely high intelligence. She berated herself as not being as smart as her brother, but siblings are not vastly different in I.Q. quotient. It's inherited, though the formal scales of I.Q. are totally biased and predisposed to those with more learning and not necessarily smarts. She was smart in a different way but as smart as he.
Since she was used to putting others' feelings ahead of herself, even if she was strong beneath it all, I doubt she'd go from being the girl that pushed her step-mother down the stairs to throwing herself down stairs. It doesn't fit the personality.
If Charles or someone else did push her, in a fight, imagine the implications of this. Let's say it was Charles. How does this get handled? Prince Charles Throws Pregnant Diana Down Stairs. This is far, far, worse than having Diana portrayed as distraught.
Later, she even tried to change her story. Diana tried to later say she did not throw herself down the stairs and hesitated. It may have been because she was realizing the damage this cover (if it was a cover) had done to her own reputation and endangered her position of custody of her children.
What's the greater "suicide attempt"?
"I threw myself down the stairs" or "I was pushed down the stairs by a member of the royal household."
It would be committing suicide to admit she had been pushed by Charles or any other royal family member.
Just because she was bulimic or cut herself, doesn't mean she threw herself down stairs. It's something that I know, firsthand, that people like to do to others they think have already been defamed or diagnosed with mental illness. When some group believes mental illness sticks well enough, this gets used as a cover and excuse for their own torture of the person.
I have nothing against Charles. I don't know if it's true, but I have nothing to gain personally or politically by keeping my mouth shut do I? And all I'm doing is wondering, nothing more. Wondering.
It's also true that if Charles had a history of literally abusing her in any way, like pushing her down stairs, she would believe he might try to kill her if she was free from marriage, worried she'd start feeling freer to expose secrets.
I have never thought it was anyone in the royal family, but I also have never discounted her feelings or beliefs because if I were the one dead, I would want someone to listen to me. To what I was saying before I was killed.
That said, even if Charles pushed her down stairs, this doesn't mean he'd orchestrate her death. This could have been done by a much larger group with greater motive and they'd have a way to carry it out.
So Charles just left to go riding. What was he doing there anyway? Isn't it possible he was going to go riding and they fought at the stairs, he pushed past and went right on when she fell? It makes a lot more sense than just standing there staring while Diana stumbles herself down stairs. And what was the Queen doing at the foot of the stairs? maybe she came around because she heard them fighting. Charles and Queen were talking at the foot of the stairs and Diana says from the top, "Look at me! Watch!" or is it so much more likely that there was a fight between Charles and Diana, on the stairs, where he either pushed her or pushed past and she fell. And then kept going right out the door to go riding.
Someone who pushed their step-mother down the stairs does not, a few years later, throw themself down the stairs. That would not be the method.
I believe she was possibly covering for someone.
What good could come out of a story about a member of the Royal family assaulting her? Not only would it be highly destructive to the family, I have finally realized this royal business is a tourism business and it directly profits the country of England. It would seem to be the right thing to do, to make up a story to protect everyone. It was after this pregnancy that Diana showed visible signs of bulimia.
Her comment about "every time I tried to come up for air I was pushed down again" could have been a little too close to home. She was using figurative language that may not have been completely figurative. She also talked about torture and it's even possible there was a form of literal torture which is what compelled her to search the entire apartment. Torture can be figurative or allude to some real situation. And it may not have had anything to do with the royal family but someone else with hands on other kinds of technology. She may have had someone trying to remind her or pressure her through any variety of means, to keep the burden on her own shoulders.
Anyway, I sense good and positive energy while writing this, not negative energy.
So why wouldn't she just say she accidentally fell?
How does this explain Charles' walking out the door? (I like to imagine, with a crop in hand, but he probably got that at the barn).
It much more understanding to say Charles was not willing to indulge cries for help or "this kind of behavior" than to say she accidentally fell down and he left. What kind of calloused person doesn't stay and assist in an accident? It would sound much worse if he'd just left in an accident, and if a servant heard screaming or fighting, that doesn't sound like an accident.
"I fell down the stairs, tripped" (and at this moment Charles ignores his pregnant wife and leaves? no. Not plausible).
