Diana assassination claims are a 'mystifying stunt' made by 'loose cannon' sniper, say former royal bodyguards and MPs

Critics have today dismissed claims that the SAS murdered Princess Diana as a 'mystifying stunt' based on 'nonsense' evidence from an 'erratic' sniper in jail for illegally keeping guns at home.

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

Scotland Yard has confirmed that officers from its specialist crime and operations command are assessing information handed to it ‘recently’ by the Royal Military Police.

It wasn't initially clear who'd made the claim which was second hand via his ex in-laws anyway. The Mail article contains sufficient information to identify who initially made the claim.
