“The jury’s first task was to decide whether French investigators got it right within days of Diana’s death when they concluded that her speeding driver, Henri Paul, was drunk. What do you think of the Diana inquest verdict? The second issue for the six women and five men was whether the paparazzi who chased the princess around Paris bore a heavy responsibility for the deaths. On both counts their answer was yes.”

After all these years, it’s exactly the same decision as we had learned from the French shortly after her death.

Al Fayed said of the couple and the verdict “I will always mourn their loss to me and to the world”.

Diana writes: “This comes with all the love in the world and as always a million heartfelt thanks for bringing such joy into this chick’s life.”

Michael Mansfield, a lawyer for Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al Fayed, introduced a letter from Diana sent with a gift of cufflinks.

“Darling Dodi, these cufflinks were the very last gift from the man I loved most in the world, my father,” she wrote.

“They are given to you as I know how much joy it would give him to know they were in such safe and special hands. Fondest love, Diana.”

Diana and Dodi Fayed died in a car crash in Paris Aug. 31, 1997.
