Mr Al Fayed's lawyers are going to the high court and seeking leave for a judicial review earlier this month by the coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, who had previously ruled that Prince Philip and the Queen should not be called upon to answer questions at the inquest.

Lord Justice Baker has previously stated that calling the Queen to answer questions from Al Fayed's lawyers or calling the Duke of Edinburgh to give evidence would not "further the inquest".

Mr Al Fayed's legal team will put their arguments before three judges this afternoon.

If the the judicial review is successful, it could be possible for any new witnesses to begin giving evidence next week.

Princess Diana died along with Mr Al Fayed's son Dodi in 1997, following a fatal car crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in 1997.

SEARCH DIANA INQUEST:

LET THEM REST IN PEACE AL FAYED

It is time to let your son and Diana rest in peace, wherever they are now, they should be at peace. You have spoken bravely, and your fight will be remebered, but please, it is time to let go. I think this has aged you beyond your years, and has probebly made you very ill. Surely, your son would not want this for you. Please try and find peace, and remeber them in your own private, special way.

I know you lost Dodi, I know the government is corrupt and you can see that. BUT WHY in the words of the judge "there is no evidence to suggest blah blah blah"

Surely you could have detected some evidence, we were all waiting for you to really kick arse. But instead it's all bluster and rudeness to reporters.

You let us down, shame on you.

The only reason I could think why I was "picked" on was that we had moved house from one side of the country to the other and I had a different accent from the rest. It started in words been flung at me and ended in me actually getting a beating in the middle of the school corridor. My older son went through something similar and when I went to the family of the child that was involved the father told me just to "f*** off". I now worry that my younger daughter is going to go through the same when we go back to Scotland as she is now very "American"

FAMOUS FREEMASONS..............

Famous Freemasons
Over the years many men of importance have been Freemasons. This is a reflection of the fact that these people have shared the philosophies of Freemasonry.
They include several Kings, political leaders and industrial identities - among them, King Edward VII and VIII, King George IV, V and VI, Sir Winston Churchill, Henry Ford and American Presidents and Vice Presidents including George Washington, Theodore and Franklin D Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman.

In music, people like Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, W.S. Gilbert, Sir Arthur Sullivan and George Gershwin were Freemasons.

Famous Australian Freemasons include explorers Matthew Flinders and John McDouall Stuart; aviator Sir Charles Kingsford Smith; Prime Ministers, Sir Edmund Barton, Sir Robert Menzies, Sir John Gorton and Sir William McMahon; and entertainers Smokey Dawson, Roy (Mo McCackie) Rene and Chips Rafferty. Australia's current Governor-General, Major General Michael Jeffery, MC is a Freemason, as were his predecessors Lord Stonehaven (G-G 1925-1930) and Lord Gowrie, VC (G-G 1936-1944).

A number of Freemasons, including Messrs Gouger, Morphett, Hanson and Kingston, arrived in South Australia in 1836 with Governor Hindmarsh and the first settlers on HMS 'Buffalo'.

Other famous South Australian Freemasons include Sir James Hardy; former Lieutenant-Governor Chief Justice Sir Samuel Way; and former Governors, Brigadier-General Sir Alexander Hore-Ruthven, VC (later became Lord Gowrie), Sir Malcolm Barclay-Harvey, Sir Robert George and Sir Eric Neal
