Conspiracy theories about the Royal family

Adéla Hlaváčová

This chapter is probably the least serious one and I thought it would be a fun topic to lighten up the mood, following the more serious and specific chapter about Buckingham Palace. Please keep in mind that all of the facts mentioned below are just theories and that they very likely did not happen.

First and probably also the most famous (and brutal) conspiracy is about the death of Princess Diana. To this day, many people believe that her deadly car crash was not just a terrible accident, but that it was a constructed operation planned by the rest of the Royal family, or even Charles himself with the purpose of literally 'removing' the Princess. Leading up to her death, Princess Diana did seem to have some eerie premonitions. After she and Charles divorced and before he remarried, Diana wrote a letter that she felt in danger because someone was "planning 'an accident' in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry." Despite Diana's suspicions, though, evidence has consistently pointed to her driver's drinking as the cause of the accident.

If you know something about conspiracy theories, you've probably already heard of The Illuminati (a special community of powerful people who earned their power because their human ancestors mated with reptilian aliens). I know it sounds crazy, but to this day a lot of people in fact believe this to be true. And if it were true, one of the most famous and powerful families in the world would definitely be one of them. This theory explains why royal families are obsessed with keeping their bloodlines 'clean' with other royals, and some people even claim that they'd talked to people who have seen people in power change into reptiles and back again.

The most of the conspiracies I found were mostly different allegations about pregnancies or relationships such as Diana being pregnant with a baby of her boyfriend at the time, or Kate having her baby daughter due a surrogate mother. Another one claims that Prince Harry is not Charles's biological son or even that Charles is a vampire (because he is related to Vlad the Impaler, the 15th-century ruler who might have inspired the story of Dracula and even has a house in Transylvania). Well, I guess you'd have to see for yourself how much you really believe in these theories!
