On 31 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, died as a result of injuries sustained in a car collision in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris, France..

From February 1998, Dodi's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed (the owner of the Htel Ritz, for which Paul worked) claimed that the crash was a result of a conspiracy,4 and later contended that the crash was orchestrated by MI6 on the instructions of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.5 His claims that the crash was a result of a conspiracy were dismissed by a French judicial investigation2 and by Operation Paget, a Metropolitan police inquiry that concluded in 2006.6

An inquest headed by LJ Scott Baker into the deaths of Diana and Dodi began at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, on 2 October 2007 and was a continuation of the original inquest that began in 2004.7 On 7 April 2008, the jury released an official statement that Diana and Dodi were unlawfully killed by the grossly negligent driving of chauffeur Henri Paul and the paparazzi.8 Though the official verdict implicated the pursuing vehicles, the jury also named the intoxication of the driver and the victims' decisions to not wear seat-belts as contributing factors to their deaths. Additionally, the Mercedes had been traveling at over twice the legal speed limit of that particular section of road and had long since left the paparazzi vehicles far behind by the time the accident occurred.9

On 30 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, arrived in Paris, France, with Dodi Fayed, the son of Mohamed al-Fayed. They had stopped there en route to London, having spent the preceding nine days together on board Mohamed al-Fayeds yacht, the Jonikal, on the French and Italian Riviera. They had intended to stay overnight. Mohamed al-Fayed was and is the owner of the Htel Ritz Paris. He also owned an apartment in Rue Arsne Houssaye, a short distance from the hotel and located just off the Avenue des Champs Elyses.
