AP-EU GEN BRITAIN DIANA INQUEST
Coroner opens, adjourns inquest into Princess Diana's death

LONDON (AP) - Britain's first formal inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed opened Tuesday, a case in which some see a sinister conspiracy but one of Diana's bodyguards dismisses as a "mundane road traffic accident."

Royal coroner Michael Burgess, signaling a broad probe, said he had asked London's Metropolitan Police to investigate whether conspiracy theories should be part of the inquest. Burgess then adjourned the case, saying it likely would reopen early next year.

"I'm aware that there is speculation that these deaths were not the result of a sad but relatively straightforward road traffic accident in Paris," Burgess said.

... Explaining why he was adjourning the proceedings for up to 15 months, Burgess said that judicial proceedings in France, including any appeals, must be concluded before he could have access to documentation compiled by French investigators.

3. Is there anything besides a picture of a "pooch" in a tabloid...

...to base the rumour of her being preggers?
I saw the picture. Wish most 30-somethings with 2 kids that I've had would have had as nice a midriff....

"The Daily Mirror said Prince Charles was the person Diana allegedly believed was behind the plot to kill her."

Though, as someone said, not so much that she thought it worth wearing a seat belt.

It's worth pointing out that the appeals in France are being made by al-Fayed, so it's he who's delaying the English inquest.
