'Diana was pregnant when she
died - but Dodi was not the father' claims French journalist

Princess Diana was
"almost certainly" nine to ten weeks pregnant when she
died, it has been claimed.
French investigative journalist Chris Laffaille says he uncovered
evidence of the pregnancy from official archives of the Paris
hospital where the princess was taken after the crash on the night
of August 31, 1997.
If genuine, says Laffaille, it would mean Diana's unborn child
would not have been fathered by Dodi Fayed because she had not
met him nine weeks before her death.
Instead, he said, the baby may have been conceived while she
was seeing London doctor Hasnat Khan.

Laffaille makes the claim despite a categoric statement by John
Burton, former royal coroner present at the post-mortem examination
on Diana, who said: "She wasn't pregnant. I have seen into
her womb."
Laffaille, a former reporter with the magazine Paris Match, says
he has conducted a detailed re-examination of all the evidence
surrounding the crash.
The resulting book, Diana: The Inquiry They Never Published,
is being released on August 27.
It is being described as one of many attempts to cash in ten
years after Diana's death but it also revives conspiracy theories
that have plagued the investigation into how she died.
Laffaille agrees with the verdict of the official French inquiry
in the crash, that Diana and Dodi were the victims of a high speed
drink-driving accident.
But he also says there are still "many unanswered questions"
surrounding the death, especially the issue of whether Diana was
pregnant.
He said: "It is a near certainty that Diana was nine to
ten weeks pregnant at the time she died, according to papers from
the Paris Public Hospitals archives.
"The letter dated August 31, 1997, was sent to the then
minister of the interior Jean-Pierre Chevenement, and copies sent
to health minister Bernard Kouchner, foreign affairs minister
Hubert Vedrine and the Paris police chief Martine Monteil."
Laffaille added: "This document has never been claimed or proved
to be a fake." However, a spokesman for the Paris Public
Hospitals last night dismissed the letter as a forgery, which
had first been circulated shortly after Diana's death.
"Examination of this document has established with absolute
certainty that it is a fake," he said.
"It is ridiculous. Many of the medics who treated Diana
remain at the hospital, and all deny the claims contained in this
forged letter."
