She leaked secret royal information to the press
Princess Diana came under intense scrutiny from the moment she joined the royal family. In 1997, there were rumors that she understood optics and how the media aimed to manipulate her image. According to gossip, she was in a symbiotic relationship with the press and even fed them information like a confidential royal phone directory.
Her phone was tapped by British intelligence agencies
This is all about Squidgygate, when tabloids leaked calls between Diana and her friend James Gilbey. The Sun first published the call, which showed Gilbey referring to Diana as “Squidgy”—many people thought that amateur radio enthusiasts were responsible for picking up the call’s frequency, but many royal commentators believed something more sinister was at play. Diana’s bodyguard believed the Government Communications Headquarters made the recording, and other staff members revealed she was always concerned about calls being hacked.
She wanted to move to America
Many people believed that Diana wanted to make like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and live in the UK instead of the US. Years before her death, she had apparently told many people about how she wanted to start a new life across the Atlantic, citing how she was always attached to the papers in Britain. This was common knowledge in her immediate circle, and apparently, she stayed put to avoid risking access to her children if she moved to another country.
