Diˈana ˌInquest, the
an inquest led by Lord Justice Scott Baker into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and her friend Dodi Al-Fayed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. It took place at the Royal Courts of Justice in London from October 2007 until April 2008. Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, believed that the crash was organized by MI6 under the instructions of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The jury decided, however, that Diana’s death was caused by the negligent (=careless) driving of the chauffeur Henri Paul and paparazzi photographers.
