Princess Diana crash findings due

The Paris car crash which killed Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed was an accident, an official UK police inquiry is expected to reveal later. The Metropolitan Police's official probe into the crash nine years ago was led by former chief Lord Stevens. He is likely to conclude the couple's chauffeur Henry Paul, who also died, was driving too fast. The princess, 36, and Mr Al Fayed, 42, died when their Mercedes crashed in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in August 1997. The couple were chased by paparazzi photographers on 31 August as they drove from the Ritz hotel to Mr Al Fayed's flat. A French investigation into the crash concluded Mr Paul had lost control of the car because he was driving too fast while under the influence of alcohol and prescription drugs.
