The Diana Inquest: It's gettin' ugly


The inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana, Dodi Al Fayed and Henri Paul has been getting hot and heavy over the last several weeks. Yet, it doesn't seem to be reaching any real conclusions. Here are some of the more surprising things that have come to light:

  • Trevor Rees has said he felt under pressure from Mohamed Al Fayed to recall a flash of light moments before the crash which killed Princess Diana. [bbc news]
  • The Queen's rooms were regularly checked for bugging devices, the inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed has heard. [bbc news]
  • A former MI6 agent who told Mohamed Al Fayed of plans to kill Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic in a car crash admits he may have got his facts wrong. He claimed the scenario bore an "eerie similarity" to the crash that killed Mr Al Fayed's son Dodi and Princess Diana. [bbc news]
  • PRINCESS Diana’s brother-in-law said yesterday that he could not have been in Paris directing a plot to murder her on the night she died as he was at a church hall in Norfolk. [daily express]
  • Britain's former ambassador in Paris denies he ordered the body of the Princess of Wales to be embalmed, allegedly to cover up a pregnancy. [cnn int'l]
