Well you tell us. The facts as we know them are banal rather than romanticated. The chauffeur was totally pissed. He got into the driving seat. Diana and Dodi (possibly not stone-cold sober either, but who am I to speculate...) got in the car with him. Whether their judgement was impaired while so doing, or whether they were just bloody thick and stupid, is another matter, but they got in. Off he went, helter-skelter along a road which did not justify his speed and his compromised driving skills. He crashed and they all snuffed it. Simple. If the papps were chasing them, tough shit. I can't remember the last time I read about a papp killing or injuring someone in the act of taking their photos. Getting away from the papps was simply not that important, and, in making that misjudgement, they paid the price. No papp either killed them or wanted them dead.
