> "The idea of anybody tapping her phones is ridiculous," said
another

> Officials said it is possible that the NSA - called the "great
vacuum

> One theory that has emerged is that the secret listening prompted
the
> British authorities to put an end to Diana's plans to spend the summer
of
> 1997 in the Hamptons with her onetime New York boyfriend, millionaire
> financier Teddy Forstmann, because it would be a security risk for her
two
> princely sons.

> A source close to Forstmann told the Daily News yesterday that
Diana
> may have been overheard while traveling with Forstmann on his private
> plane, which Forstmann believed was bugged by the feds to listen in on
his
> rich and powerful friends.
>
> She asked Forstmann to help her find a summer place in the
Hamptons,
> the source said. The princess later called to tell Forstmann to drop the
> search.
>
> "Don't bother [trying to find me a place]," she told Forstmann,
> according to the source. "There's no point in looking. They won't let me
> come. It's a security hazard."
>
> Some Brits were skeptical that the Americans were worried about
> Diana's safety in the Hamptons.
>
> "If this is true, there needs to be some explanation," said Andrew
> MacKinlay, a Labor Party member of Parliament. "That's a feeble excuse.
> They've got to do better than that."

> The princess ended up instead taking a vacation on the yacht of
> Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed and became involved with his son Dodi, a
> romance that led to her death.
