MI6's former chief has denied that the intelligence service murdered Diana, Princess of Wales.
At the inquest into her death, Sir Richard Dearlove insisted he had not been aware of MI6 assassinating anyone in his 38-year career there.
He rejected claims by Harrods boss Mohamed Al Fayed that Diana was killed by MI6 on the orders of Prince Philip.
Mr Al Fayed's son Dodi and driver Henri Paul were also killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997.
Sir Richard told the inquest that this was a "very personal allegation" given his role at the Secret
Intelligence Service - otherwise known as MI6 - at the time.
He was MI6's director of operations from 1994 to 1999, and served as head of the agency from 1999 to 2004.
He denied that any assassinations took place under his authority.
Once again, another conspiracy theory about the death of Princess Diana has been disproven.
Grade this.
