Retired MI5 Agent Confesses on Deathbed

Retired MI5 Agent Confesses on Deathbed: ‘I Killed Princess Diana’?

http://www.snopes.com/retired-mi5-agent-confesses-on-deathbed-i-killed-princess-diana/

On 19 June 2017, the YourNewsWire web site published the implausible claim that a former MI5 agent named John Hopkins had confessed to assassinating Princess Diana in 1997:

An 80-year-old retired MI5 agent, John Hopkins, has made a series of astonishing confessions since he was released from hospital in London on Wednesday and told he has weeks to live. Hopkins claims to have been involved in 23 assassinations for the British intelligence agency between 1973 and 1999, including Princess Diana.

The 80-year-old British man claims he was involved with MI5 assassinations between June 1973 and December 1999, during a period he says “the MI5 operated with less external oversight.” Hopkins says he was part of a cell of seven operatives who were trusted to carry out political assassinations across the UK. Most victims were politicians, activists, journalists and union leaders.

Mr. Hopkins says Princess Diana is unique among his victims, as she is the only female he ever assassinated, as well as the only Royal. She is also the only victim that the Royal Family themselves ordered to be taken out … He claims to feel “ambivalent” about Princess Diana’s death. On the one hand, Diana was “a beautiful, kind-hearted woman” who did not deserve to have her life cut short. But according to Mr. Hopkins, she was also placing the British Crown at risk:

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.

RETIRED MI5 AGENT CONFESSES: 'I ASSASSINATED PRINCESS DIANA

Princess Diana - the people's princess. She was adored by everyone who knew her, and she brought light wherever she went. She was known for her compassion and kindness, grace and elegance. Life was cruel to steal her so young from her people, at such a young age,

Her death since then has affected thousands all over, especially when news of her death first leaked. The entire world was in mourning. Even now, many years later, her death still leaves a scar in the hearts of her people. Everyone thought, and it was investigated, too, that her death was caused by paparazzi chasing her, causing her and her then lover's car to crash, resulting in the ill-fated lovers passing away immediately upon impact.

However, new evidence has been found. Or rather, someone has stepped forward to confess his crimes, after so many years. John Hopkins, a retired MI5 agent, has since made some terribly astonishing confessions since he has been released from the hospital on Wednesday, after being told he only had weeks left to leave. He had kept his secrets for so long, so why is he finally letting them out of the bag? Because his demise is near, he claimed. Moreover, many of those who were involved have already passed away; he added on as one of the reasons that he is finally confessing to crimes.

Mr. Hopkins, now 80 years old, spent 38 years of his life working for MI5. He claimed that his main job was to eliminate political opponents that were threats to the United Kingdom's domestic security. His boss told him to eliminate Princess Diana as he was quoted as saying “She knew too many Royal secrets. She had a huge grudge and she was going to go public with all sorts of wild claims. My boss told me she had to die – he’d received orders directly from Prince Philip – and we had to make it look like an accident. I’d never killed a woman before, much less a princess, but I obeyed orders. I did it for Queen and country.” He went on to claim that this went up so high in the hierarchy and that there is no free press in Britain at all, claiming that “British journalists all answer to editors who answer to oligarchs who all want knighthoods from the crime family at Buckingham Palace. There is no free press in Britain, ” He then proceeded to confess that if Prince Phillips were to take a test, he would surely be deemed as a psychopath. When asked why he accepted the job, he answered that he swore his allegiance to the crown - he had no other choice, or to face a fate even worse than death. However, he seems to lack remorse or guilt, clearly believing he was just "doing a job". Moreover, hardly anything is ever written about MI5's secret operations, which can be a reason why Mr. Hopkins is so unrepentant of his actions.
