Diana death photographers to be prosecuted

A Paris judge has ordered three photographers to trial for pictures they snapped of the 1997 car crash that killed Diana, Princess of Wales, and her friend Dodi al Fayed.

The move follows a complaint for invasion of privacy filed by al Fayed’s father, Harrods owner Mohamed al Fayed, said judicial officials.

The cameramen will only go on trial for the photographs they took of Dodi Fayed, however, since Diana’s relatives and the Royal family are not plaintiffs in the case, the officials added.

In April, France’s highest court dismissed charges of manslaughter against the photographers – who were pursuing the princess’s car at the time – ending years of court battles over who was responsible for the crash.
