QC challenges lack of jury in Diana inquest

THE decision that Baroness Butler-Sloss should sit as coroner and preside over the inquests into the deaths of Dodi Fayed and Diana, Princess of Wales, was condemned as “fatally flawed” by a QC at the High Court yesterday.

And there was an “eerie similarity” between the way the paparazzi “hounded” Diana and now did the same to Prince William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton, the court heard.

The princess, 36, Mr Fayed, 42, and their chauffeur Henri Paul died when their Mercedes crashed in Paris in 1997.
