Investigation closed into 'Princess Diana killed by British special forces' claim by ex-SAS sniper

Detectives launched the probe after “Soldier N” alleged his old regiment was ordered to kill the royal

Scotland Yard have closed their investigation into an ex-SAS sniper’s claim that British special forces killed Princess Diana.

Detectives launched the probe after “Soldier N” alleged his old regiment was ordered to kill the royal.

He told his wife that an SAS squad flashed a blinding light at Diana’s driver and caused the crash that killed her in Paris in 1997 – a ­technique developed to ­combat terrorists.

Soldier N’s claims were sent to Scotland Yard in July after the court-martial of SAS sniper Danny Nightingale.

Both men had been arrested in 2011 when police found illegal guns and ammo in the house they shared.
