Coroner: Diana pregnancy claim unprovable

Lord Justice Scott Baker told the jury at the inquest into the deaths of the princess and her lover Dodi Fayed that scientific evidence might be unable to demonstrate “one way or the other” whether she was in the early stages of pregnancy.

Baker told the 11 members of the jury — six women and five men — Diana may have been on the contraceptive pill and that evidence she was poised to get engaged to Dodi on the night she died was contradictory.
On Tuesday the judge, who is acting as coroner in the case, told the jury that a famous image taken in summer 1997 showing Diana wearing a swimsuit could not be proof she was pregnant with Dodi’s child as she had not started a relationship with him at that stage.
