PRINCESS Diana Inquest:
Michael Walker and Clarence Williams were driving through Paris when they came upon the wreckage in a tunnel.
Their pictures appeared in at least one newspaper and the pair earned “$6,000 to $7,000″.
The inquest into Diana’s death also heard the first doctor on the crash scene thought she would survive…
The two Americans had been taking a taxi ride after buying some cannabis when their driver spotted the crashed car with its front door open.
Mr Walker took several shots - but he only found out that the princess had been one of the passengers when he saw the story later on CNN.
He called CNN but they were not interested in buying his photographs as they “would have preferred video”, the inquest was told in Mr Walker’s statement given to the Metropolitan Police.
He took pictures of a fatal crash scene - and then found out who she was? For insurance purposes?

Same here, blue orb them! SO many conflicting stories though - Diana on floor, Diana laid back, etc. etc. No-one has a photo of the Fiat, or the man with the pointed shoes.

Does anyone else find this whole photography / papparazzi thing utterly nauseating ?
I would love to have a can of bright orange indelible dye always to hand to mark them up as one does sheep ready for slaughter.
