Reaction to the verdicts | The remaining questions | The paparazzi | What now for Al Fayed? | The key moments
— The Duke of Edinburgh used an old-fashioned typewriter in which the letter “e” was filled in with ink for personal correspondence. (According to the Princess’s lawyer Maggie Rae, who temporarily kept her letters. Gave evidence in January.)
— The undertaker Leverton & Sons keep a special hermetically sealed coffin at the ready in case a member of the Royal Family dies suddenly abroad. (From evidence of Clive Leverton in November.)
— The MI6 cell operating in Paris 1997 had a grey Renault Laguna as its official car. (From the statement of MI6 witness “1” in answer to speculation about a white Fiat Uno. Statement read in February).
— Mohamed Al Fayed spends time in a special tent pitched on the lawn of Balnagown Castle, his Scottish home. (From Kes Wingfield’s evidence in January.)
— The Princess’s telephone calls to the energy healer Simone Simmons could last ten hours. (Ms Simmons’s evidence, January.)
— Spies shop at Harrods – or at least buy hampers there. (From the evidence of MI6 employee Miss “X” who said that a search of the organisation’s records for references to the department store found several instances of hampers being bought).
— Barrister Henrietta Hill, Michael Mansfield QC’s junior, gave birth to a son - Reginald Leonard Peter Kenyon - weighing 8lb 4oz on January 24. (Announced by Ian Burnett, QC, to a packed court including lawyers, the jury, media and public before Kes Wingfield began evidence on January 29.)
— Mohamed Al Fayed delivered gifts to Kensington Palace using a Harrods coach and horses. (According to Paul Burrell who gave evidence in January.)
— Security staff at the Ritz in Paris have contact with France’s equivalent of MI5 the DST (Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire) when foreign dignitaries are staying. (The detail emerged during evidence from the hotel’s former assistant president Claude Roulet in December.)
— An MI6 officer drew up detailed secret plans to assassinate a top Balkan leader to prevent ethnic cleansing in the early 1990s. The plans were never carried out. (Confirmed by the organisation’s former head Sir Richard Dearlove in February.)
