An investigator into Princess Diana’s death says he had an “emotional” discussion with Prince Harry and Prince William. Lord John Stevens, 79, a former Metropolitan Police Commissioner, recalled speaking to the Princess of Wales’ two sons at their home of Kensington Palace in the immediate aftermath of the 1997 car crash in Paris that killed their mother, aged 36 and her boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed, the 42-year-old son of the former proprietor of Fulham FC and the iconic Knightsbridge department store, Harrods, Mohamed Al-Fayed. He told US Weekly: “I have to say, I was quite emotional about it myself,” before adding that the two teenagers were upset about the “paparazzi” and how they chased the car.
