Princes William, Harry"deeply upset" on Diana’s photographs
MIL/World, Dec 14, 2006.
London, December 14, 2006 - Princes William and Harry are reported to be "deeply upset" at the behavior of the paparazzi as their mother Princess Diana lay dying, British media reports say.
The brothers have already been briefed on the outcome of Lord Stevens' police investigation into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, which was being published on Thursday.
The official police inquiry into Princess Diana's death is expected to rule out foul play and seek to bury conspiracy theories of a murder plot that have resonated for almost a decade.
After a three-year inquiry, security experts believe that Britain's former Scotland Yard chief Sir John Stevens will rule that she died in a Paris car crash because chauffeur Henri Paul was drunk and driving too fast.
William, 24, and 22-year-old Harry were described as "distressed and angry" after learning in full of the photographers' behavior after the 1997 crash in a Paris underpass.
French paparazzi took pictures of their mother as she lay fatally wounded in the wrecked Mercedes at the scene as emergency workers battled to save her. A source told the UK's Press Association: "They feel very strongly about it and it has upset them."
The princes' distress has been heightened by the attention their girlfriends Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy have faced in recent times.
Diana, 36, and 42-year-old Dodi Fayed, were killed when their Mercedes crashed in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in the early hours of August 31, 1997.
The couple had been pursued by paparazzi photographers after leaving the Ritz Hotel for Fayed's apartment.
