Princess Diana was unlawfully killed due to the "gross negligence" of driver Henri Paul and the paparazzi, an inquest jury has found.

The jury reached the same verdict for her companion Dodi Al Fayed.

The inquest into the 1997 Paris crash that killed them and Mr Paul lasted six months.

The jury also specified that Mr Paul's drink-driving and the fact that neither Mr Fayed Cycling: Dispute threatens Tour ...
Diana survivor denies conspiracy ... nor Diana were wearing seatbelts contributed to their deaths.

They returned joint verdicts of unlawful killing through grossly negligent driving - or gross negligence manslaughter.

Drink-driving

The three were killed when Mr Paul crashed a hired Mercedes into a pillar in the Alma underpass in Paris in the early hours of 31 August, 1997.
