• Al Fayed: Royals conspired to slaughter Diana and Dodi
• Cover-up 'involved every member of the establishment'
• Prince Philip is a 'Nazi' and 'racist'

Mohamed Al Fayed today denounced the Royal Family and virtually the entire Establishment over the deaths of Diana and his son Dodi.

Giving evidence on oath in the High Court, he stuck to his claim that they were murdered in a 1997 Paris car crash to prevent her marrying a Muslim.

He said those involved in the death plot or subsequent cover-up were Prince Charles and Prince Philip, Tony Blair, judges, Paul Burrell, police chiefs, senior politicians, the secret services of Britain and France, the CIA, newspaper editors and even Diana's sister.

The coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, said: "There seems to be an awful lot of people involved in this conspiracy."

The Harrods tycoon said Charles and Philip could not accept that "my son as a person who is different religion, naturally tanned, curly hair" could be the stepfather of Prince William, a future king.

He called the royals the "Dracula family", said Prince Philip was "Frankenstein", and described the Duchess of Cornwall as Charles's "crocodile wife".

Mr Fayed said "this is my moment" as he entered the High Court in London.

In an emotionally charged testimony, he claimed that Diana told him a month before her death that the royals wanted "rid of her".

He listed those included in the cover-up as every member of the Royal Family including Diana's sister, butler Paul Burrell, two Scotland Yard Commissioners, secret service agents on both sides of the Channel and leading medical experts in Paris and London.

Mr Fayed claimed the plot involved scores of others including newspaper editors and reporters, politicians such as the then home secretary Jack Straw as well as "stooge judges".

The coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, said: "There seems to be an awful lot of people involved in this conspiracy."
Mr Fayed said the leader of the death plot was Prince Philip, who he called a "racist, Nazi, and Frankenstein" who should be sent back to Germany where he came from.

Mr Fayed repeated his claims that Diana was pregnant and was about to tell her two sons and announce her engagement to Dodi.

He is due to spend at least two days giving evidence to the inquest into the deaths of Diana and Dodi.

What Diana told Fayed

He said: "Princess Diana told me personally before and during the holiday we shared in July 1997 of her fears.

"She told me that she knew Prince Philip and Prince Charles were trying to get rid of her."

Then in the days before the crash, the Princess called Mr Fayed again.

He said Diana rang him to reveal that she was pregnant, that his son Dodi had proposed and she had accepted.

"Diana told me on the telephone that she was pregnant. I'm the only person they told," he said.

"They told me they were engaged and would announce their engagement on Monday morning. She would speak to her sons when she returned from Paris."

Mr Fayed then claimed Diana "suffered for 20 years from this Dracula family" and the moment she had found love and happiness, a plot was hatched to kill her and his son.

Mr Fayed said that Diana told him she had entrusted her fears for her life, contained in a mystery box, to Mr Burrell should anything happen to her.
