Diana conspiracies theories still doing the rounds

Conspiracy theories about the death of Princess Diana are still doing the rounds, despite a comprehensive report into the crash that killed her.

Today marks 20 years since she died following a car accident in Paris.

Royal correspondent Andrew Morton said the 500,000 page report by British Police shows if the princess had been wearing a seat belt - as she usually did - she would be alive today.

He said the bigger question is - why we still believe the conspiracy theories.

Morton said his theory about that is that we cannot accept somebody who is an icon, a kind of archetypal figure can die in the banality of a car crash.
