Spy boss to testify at inquest Di: 'No order to embalm her' 'French were wrong about Henri' Di: blood tests 'faked' Di: pathologist raises doubts

London - A coroner has disclosed that the cost of the inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and boyfriend Dodi Fayed has reached £2.2m.

Nearly £1.1m was spent on the team of lawyers assisting Lord Justice Scott Baker, who is leading the inquest.

The next largest expenditure, about £ 370 000, was for the jury's visit to Paris and the cost of video conferencing for witnesses testifying from Paris and from other countries.

The figures, disclosed on Monday, cover the period through January 31 and do not include the amount spent by Mohamed al Fayed and his Ritz Hotel for their own teams of lawyers.
