Died In A Nasty Accident. End of.

I believe that is the point of a conspiracy. the answers to the questions you pose would not be known to the general public. if they were known, it wouldn't be a conspiracy, would it?
although I do not think there is any conspiracy in the death of Diana, let me humour your position, then explain my stance on 'conspiracy theories';
why would anybody want her dead?
Diana did a lot of work in third world countries clearing landmines and helping those less fortunate than ourselves. what if, during her work and investigations, she found out that supplied funding was being used (knowingly by our own government, or the government of another country) for weapons or some other illegal reason. she perhaps planned to tell the world of these findings. someone wanted her hushed and the secrets brushed under the carpet.
What possible cause would it serve?
by not allowing the information into the public domain, the illegal movement of money could continue to serve those who controlled it's movement and use. those in power remain in power. the more power one has, the more power one wants. the same goes for money. people with extraordinary power can go to extraordinary lengths to ensure their place is secure. if it were our own government who had a big secret to hide, imagine the outrage, loss in trust and potential homeland issues such as rioting that might result in such a massive story.
And how could a coverup take place in such a public arena?
by making her death appear as an accident, the general public are far less likely to question the surrounding events. were she to go missing, be shot, suddenly stop being in the public domain and recluse, people would (rightly so) ask questions and demand full answers. that would be a lot harder to convince the public that nothing untoward was going on.
'conspiracy theory' has such negative connotations these days and seems to be nothing more than a synonym for generally accepted mocking and ridicule, in my opinion. if the same behaviours were about another topic, it would be deemed tantamount to bullying. as soon as anyone says anything that poses difficult questions (in terms of being able to answer, or indeed to simply confront emotionally), there is an immediate backlash consisting of attacking, finger pointing and tin hat references. it is good that people ask questions, even if the answers that have already been given are fact. if we never asked more than what we were told, how could we ever grow? if Newton didn't bother to ask more than what science of the time and the Church told him, no one would have ever heard of him.
people need to accept that
sometimes we are not told everything about everything. things do happen that we don't know about or for reasons we will never understand, but that does not mean they didn't happen or they don't exist. to never question, but to follow blindly what you are told is detrimental in so many ways, not only to the individual, but to society and potentially, the greater good.
we really need to remove this negative attachment to the phrase 'conspiracy theory'. it does nothing more than dumb down and beat back yourself. it's akin to simply giving up and trusting anything you are told.
in the case of Diana's death, I believe it was nothing more than a tragic accident. all the same, I'm also not closed minded enough to think there is no possible chance of something that I currently do not know about happened that night. keep an open mind. plausible, possible and probable are not the same thing. the same as opinion, belief, truth and fact are not the same thing.
