Prince Charles and Mohamed Al Fayed contacted by police assessing SAS soldier's claims that Diana was murdered

• Police launched a 'scoping exercise' into claims Diana was murdered
• Letter from parents-in-law of former SAS soldier claim Princess was murdered by the British military
• Royal bodyguards and MPs have dismissed the allegations

Prince Charles and Mohamed Al Fayed are being contacted by police as they assess claims that the SAS murdered Princess Diana.

Scotland Yard said they are also getting in touch with Lord Justice Scott Baker, the judge who presided over the inquest into her death.

Diana, 36, Mr Al Fayed's son Dodi, 42, and chauffeur Henri Paul, 41, all died in a crash in Paris in August 1997.

Police are currently carrying out a 'scoping exercise' as they look into claims that the trio were murdered by a member of the British Military.

They have not launched a full investigation.

Royal bodyguards and MPs have brushed off accusations that the Princess of Wales' death 16 years ago was carried out by British special forces who then 'covered it up'.

The sensational allegation surfaced
in the second court martial of Sergeant Danny Nightingale, the SAS sniper convicted of illegally stashing a pistol and 338 bullets in his bedroom.

The claim was contained in a letter from the parents-in-law of Soldier N, Sgt Nightingale's former housemate, which was sent to the SAS's commanding officer in September 2011.

Scotland Yard confirmed in a brief statement this morning that they will be contacting members of the Royal family to inform them about the new developments.
