Diana and Dodi paparazzi on trial

Three photographers who took pictures of Diana, the Princess of Wales, and her companion Dodi al Fayed in their car just before their fatal 1997 crash will stand trial in France for invasion of privacy.

Jacques Langevin of Sygma agency, Christian Martinez of the Angeli agency and freelancer Fabrice Chassery will face trial early next year following a complaint lodged by Harrod's owner Mohamed al Fayed, Dodi's father.

Diana, al Fayed and driver Henri Paul were killed in a high-speed crash on August 31, 1997, as their Mercedes was pursued by paparazzi on motorbikes through central Paris.
