Fayed’s security chief admits lying

MOHAMED al Fayed’s controversial theories about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, came under fire yesterday.

The Harrods tycoon listened quietly as layers of his theory that Diana was murdered in a 1997 car crash by MI6 on the order of the Duke of Edinburgh because she was pregnant and set to get engaged to his son Dodi were stripped down.

John Macnamara, a retired Metropolitan Police detective chief superintendent and Mr al Fayed’s director of security in August 1997, accepted he had lied in public when he claimed in a television interview that driver Henri Paul had only drunk pineapple juice.
