New information that alleges Princess Diana was murdered has been passed to Scotland Yard
through military sources, it has emerged.
The information, thought to include the allegation that the Princess of Wales, Dodi al Fayed and
their driver were killed by a member of the British military, will be assessed by officers from the
Specialist Crime and Operations Command.
According to Sky sources it was given to the police by the former parents-in-law of a former
soldier.
The deaths of Princess Diana and Mr al Fayed in Paris in 1997 were investigated and examined
during a 90-day inquest led by Lord Justice Scott Baker at the Royal Court of Justice in 2007.
On April 7, 2008, the jury concluded their verdict as "unlawful killing, grossly negligent driving
of the following vehicles and of the Mercedes".

The Metropolitan Police said its assessment was not a re-investigation and does not come under
Operation Paget, the inquiry led by Lord Stevens into conspiracy theories surrounding Princess
Diana and Mr al Fayed's deaths.
A royal spokeswoman said there will be no comment on the matter from Prince William or Prince
Harry, or from Clarence House.
After the inquest, the Metropolitan Police said it had spent £8m on services arising from it and the
Operation Paget investigation from 2004 to 2006.
Former Met Police commissioner Lord Stevens published his report in December 2006, rejectingclaims that Princess Diana and Mr al Fayed had been murdered.

member of the British military.
"The information we're told was passed to Scotland Yard quite recently. It also includes, we
understand, references to something known as Diana's diary.
"These are very early days, the information has just come in, and Scotland Yard is adamant in
saying that this is not a reopening of its investigation from 2004 when it spent three years looking
into the circumstances of the Princess' death.
"But it is taking the information seriously and it is considering and it is possible that a new
investigation may open."
Princess Diana, Mr al Fayed and their driver Henri Paul died after the Mercedes crashed in a Paris
tunnel on August 31, 1997.
Diana was 36 at the time of her death and Mr al Fayed, the son of former Harrods owner
Mohamed al Fayed, 42.
