Dodi's Dad: 'I Accept' the Diana Inquest Verdict

Originally posted 04/09/2008 10:15AM

Mohammed Al Fayed – who has tirelessly argued that Princess Diana and his son, Dodi, were killed by the British secret service at the behest of the royal family – has announced he will begrudgingly accept the latest inquest ruling.

The inquest, which lasted more than six months, concluded Monday, when the 11 jurors found that the couple’s tragic 1997 deaths were caused by the "unlawful, negligent driving of [their chauffeur] and the following vehicles."

Jury: Driver, Paparazzi to Blame for Princess Di's Death

Originally posted 04/07/2008 11:40AM

The jury at the inquest into the 1997 deaths of Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed found they were unlawfully killed because of the actions of their driver and the pursuing paparazzi, it was announced Monday.

The couple's deaths were caused by the "unlawful, negligent driving of the Mercedes and the following vehicles," the 11 jurors determined.

The jury also delivered a damning verdict for driver Henri Paul, who also perished in the Paris traffic tunnel crash. The accident, they said, was "caused or contributed to" by the speed and manner of driving of the Mercedes and the following vehicles, the impairment of the driver through alcohol, the fact that neither were wearing seatbelts and that the car hit a pillar in the Paris underpass.

Butler: Diana's Mom Condemned Her Daughter

Originally posted 01/14/2008 02:05PM

Princess Diana was called a "whore" by her mother – who didn't like the fact her daughter was dating a Muslim, according to testimony Monday.

The revelation came from the princess's former butler Paul Burrell, who gave evidence at the current inquest into Diana's August 1997 death. (Having reopened in October, the inquest is expected to last until March.)

Burrell – who has written two best-sellers on Diana – also told how his former employer planned a secret wedding with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, whom she dated until July 1997. Diana, 36, died the very next month.
