Princess Diana’s Memorial Fund Website Features ‘Upsetting,’ ‘Fake’ Claims About Royal’s Death

Princess Diana’s memorial fund website was recently hacked.

Conspiracy theorists set up a fake website that appeared on the official page for The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. The site featured conspiracy theories about the mom of two’s death as well as photos from her tragic car accident in 1997.

According to Daily Mail, royal aides have already been made aware of the problem, and they are doing everything that they can to restore Princess Diana’s memorial fund website. The page was reportedly taken down while an action is being made by the royal staff.

The fund was set up shortly after Princess Diana's death on Aug. 31, 1997. But in 2012, the Royal Foundation took over the fund. The Royal Foundation was set up by Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Harry several years ago. But in recent weeks, the Duke of Sussex has decided to cut his ties with the foundation.

“The fund has carried out fantastic work over the last 15 years to continue the legacy of Diana, Princess of Wales and improve the lives of some of the most disadvantaged people in the world. We feel it is appropriate and important that the Royal Foundation becomes the legal owner of the fund after its planned closure, to ensure both the fund’s name is safeguarded and any future income donated to the fund is able to be spent on charitable causes,” Nick Booth, chief executive of the Royal Foundation said.

Meanwhile, Princess Diana also made headlines this week after it was reported that she will be celebrated with an amazing tribute. An acclaimed new musical about the Princess of Wales will head to Broadway next spring.

The musical follows the life of Prince William and Prince Harry’s mom before she weds Prince Charles. The production will also tackle the aftermath of Princess Diana’s marriage to the future King. The couple tied the knot in 1981, but they divorced in 1996.
