I finally managed to watch the Ch4 programme this morning and the only reason you knew it was Diana, was because you were told it was Diana. The parts of the photo's that had not been blocked out, were clear.

On the whole the photographers were puzzled by D & D's behavior that evening. They said that the entire holiday D&D had been happy to pose and now they were hiding. They commented on the fact that Henri Paul kept coming out of the Ritz that evening to tell them the couple would be leaving at such and such a time and then 10 minutes later coming out again - they said, for head of security, he was less than discreet.

What did shock me was the jubilation exibited by Agency managers and the Editors of the Sun & News of the World. They were all excited and celebrating when they were told that there had been an accident - that Dodi and the driver were dead and the photographers had pictures of an injured Diana.

They were wired some of the pictures and 'they were sensational, they showed Diana with a trickle of blood on her forehead and some bruising, we had to have them at all costs!' When the news came through that she might have died, they were all hoping that she would hang on, not for love of the woman, but because the pictures could still be used as long as she was alive!
They complained that they had this great commodity and it would be unusable, they would not be able to profit.

Why any of the royals give interviews or photo ops now is beyond me!
