The Metropolitan police are to assess new information about the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed in a road crash in Paris in 1997.
Scotland Yard did not elaborate on the information, or its source, but Sky News said it had come from the former parents-in-law of a former soldier and had been passed on by the Royal Military police.
The information, which is thought to include the allegation that the Princess of Wales, Fayed and their driver Henri Paul were killed by a member of the British military, will be assessed by officers from the Specialist Crime and Operations Command.
The force said in a statement on Saturday night that it was studying information into the deaths that it had recently received and was "assessing its relevance and credibility".
"This is not a reinvestigation and does not come under Operation Paget," it said, referring to the police investigation into previous allegations of murder, led by former Met police commissioner Lord Stevens, which reported back in December 2006. It rejected claims of murder and said Paul had been drinking and was driving too fast. Diana, Fayed and their chauffeur were killed when their car crashed in a road tunnel while being pursued by photographers, after the couple left the Ritz hotel on 31 August 1997.

Naomi "kept character" for Diana
INDEPENDENT WOMAN
DUBLIN
03 AUGUST, 2013
King Kong actress Naomi Watts was so determined to portray Diana, Princess of Wales accurately that she stayed in character even off camera, her co-star has revealed.
Canadian star Cas Anvar plays Diana's boyfriend Dodi Fayed in the movie about the last two years of her life and he has revealed that making the film was an intense experience.
"I had heard about Naomi before, that she was part British and part Australian, and I was expecting a little bit of banter but she was so in character even when we weren't shooting."She was so poised and gracious and in control in the same way Diana was always in control. That was actually a very powerful energy as the other actor and it helped me interact with her."

Michael Caine to be awarded Freedom of the City of London (TELEGRAPH)
by Daisy Bowie-2:00PM GMT 08 Mar 2013
British actor Sir Michael Caine will be given the Freedom of the City of London.
In the past, the honour has been bestowed upon other actors including Dame Judi Dench, and figures such as Winston Churchill, Diana, Princess of Wales and Nelson Mandela have also been recipients.
One of the oldest surviving traditional ceremonies, the award is thought to date back to 1237.
The honour is the latest in a long list awarded to Caine, who will turn 80 next week.
Caine was originally from London, having grown up in Southwark. Born Maurice Micklewhite in 1933 to a fish porter and a cleaner, he became famous for his roles in films such as Zulu, The Italian Job and The Ipcress File.

Naomi Watts stars as the British princess whose death in a Paris car crash made headlines around the world in 1997. (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)
LONDON -- The buzz biopic of British icon Princess Diana, starring Naomi Watts as the lady in question, has a new name.
Oliver Hirschbiegel's big-screen portrait, originally touted to buyers during Berlin and then Cannes this year as Caught in Flight, has been retitled as simply Diana.
Shooting on the film produced by U.K. production company Ecosse Films is under way, with Watts starring alongside Naveen Andrews, Douglas Hodge and Juliet Stevenson.

Naomi Watts takes on Princess Diana's most iconic look in plunging dress and jewels in first official shot from new movie By MIKE LARKIN PUBLISHED: 23:32 EST, 3 July 2012 | UPDATED: 08:49 EST, 4 July 2012 (MAIL ON LINE)
With her blonde hair perfectly coiffed, a jewelled choker sitting around her neck and a plunging black dress highlighting her slim frame, there is certainly no confusion about which role Naomi Watts is taking in on her new movie.
In the first official picture from the upcoming movie about Princess Diana, Naomi takes on what was arguably the late princess' trademark look.
The official shot has emerged after it was announced that the movie, previously reported to be called Caught In Flight, will go by the title of just Diana.
Yesterday, Naomi was seen wearing one of Diana's most iconic outfits as she sported the plunging dress and jewels to film a dinner party scene for the movie in Croatia.
Naomi was locked in conversation at the recreation of a black tie event attended by the then troubled royal.
She appears to be completely flinging herself into the role after initially feeling apprehensive about taking the part.
However, it seems the chance to work with German director Oliver Hirschbiegel, who is famous for his portrayal of the last days of Hitler in his bunker in Downfall, was too good to turn down.
The acclaimed filmmaker said that Naomi is ‘a truly exceptional actress’ who embodies ‘the warmth, humanity and empathy’ of the ‘global icon’ Princess Diana.

'I wish mum could have met Kate': Prince William opens up about heartache over Diana's death By Natalie Evans 29 May 2012 13:02 (MIRROR)
Prince William has opened up for the first time about his heartache that his mother Diana never got to meet Kate Middleton.
The Duke of Cambridge admitted that he felt an incredible sadness that the late Princess of Wales was not there to see him marry his long-term girlfriend last year.
In a moving interview with US TV channel ABC, William revealed how preparing himself for his wedding day in his mother’s absence was “very difficult”.
The 29-year-old Duke said: “It’s the one time since she’s died, where I’ve thought to myself it would be fantastic if she was here, and just how sad really for her, more than anything, not being able to see it.
“I think she would have loved the day and I think, hopefully, she’d be very proud of us both for the day. I’m just very sad that she’s never going to get a chance to meet Kate.”
However, his brother Prince Harry added that their mother, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, was still there with them.
Speaking to ABC News’ Katie Couric, the 27-year-old said: “I think she had the best seat in the house probably. But yeah, she would have loved to have been there.”
The young royals were interviewed as part of a two-hour Diamond Jubilee special, which airs in the US later this evening.

SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY'S PRIVATE SHOW FOR PRINCESS DIANAThursday May 10,2012 By Lizzie Catt with Lisa Higgins and Jack Teague (EXPRESS.CO.UK)
HUNDREDS of millions will watch him perform at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace next month. But Day & Night can exclusively reveal that Sir Paul McCartney once gave a unique royal command performance for a very exclusive audience made up of Diana, Princess of Wales and her two sons.
The secret gig took place in January 1993. Macca, then 50, was filming the video for his single Biker Like An Icon at Pinewood Studios. Midway through the shoot the security team were told that an unexpected VIP was outside the set asking to come in.
“We said it was strictly no visitors until we were told, ‘Yeah but it’s Princess Diana,'” Sir Paul’s former spokesman Geoff Baker tells Day & Night. “The Princess entered the set holding the hands of the two princes.”
And it was Princes William and Harry – then aged 10 and eight respectively – who inspired the impromptu performance that followed.
