John Hopkins, who was a MI5 operative between 1973 and 1999 is claimed to have carried out over 23 assassinations of individuals who ‘posed a threat to national security’. The retired hitman for the UK government worked as part of a cell of seven operatives who carried out assassinations of politicians, journalists, activists and union leaders involving poisons and chemicals.
Mr Hopkins claims that Princess Diana was the only woman he ever killed, saying:
“She was the only target where the order came directly from the Royal family.”

actually I saw it on one of my FB friend's home page. It seemed really far out there. Years ago, someone claimed the Israelis whacked her because they thought she was going to marry an Arab and they didn't want the step father of the heir to the thrown being a Muslim.
 
Here is another pic of the man in the photo, "John Hopkins," and it's from 2010: War veteran calls triple-0 from hospital

From Snopes:

There was no truth to the story, which originated with YourNewsWire, a fake news site. As is often the case with fake news, the article lacked critical details such as when and where the confession occurred or how the purported assassination took place, and no other credible news outlet (or even tabloid) reported the story. Moreover, the image originated with a 2010 news story in Australia, not a 2017 “deathbed confession” in the United Kingdom.

The MI5 agent deathbed confession story was not the first of its type proffered by YourNewsWire, a site known for promoting baseless conspiracy theories. FACT CHECK: Retired MI5 Agent Confesses On Deathbed: ?I Killed Princess Diana??

I check the Daily Mail 2-3 times a day, and while it has run many stories for the past couple of weeks on the death of Princess Diana, it hasn't run a story like this.

The queen ordered a hit on Lady Diana. Please tell me you don't believe that, you're just posting this for it's entertainment value.

This must be what my mother in-law was talking about the other day. The wife and I were trying to figure out why she suddenly brought up the Di thing. Now, I know...sort of.

As for things that do not add up, the supposedly drunk limo driver was said to be a teetotaler by those who knew him. And his autopsy showed no liver damage which is contrary to what would have been indicative of the chronic drunk he was reported to be. I saw that in a YouTube. ;)

It is truly the most fun forum on the site, if you play it that way. Some people take their CT a bit too serious though, both pro and con. And, that by itself is often fun to watch too. :lol:
