Princess Di's pal hits out at Scotland Yard for taking 'wild allegations' seriously

Princess Diana's friend Rosa Monckton has slammed Scotland Yard for taking "wild allegations"- made by a former disgraced SAS soldier, known only as Soldier N - that she was murdered, seriously.

Diana's confidante Rosa Monckton, 60, said that she did not understand why the cops bothered to reopen the case based on such wild allegations, the Daily Express reported.

Monckton, who's holidaying in Monaco with a pal, said that it appeared to her that everyone from the man in the street to uniformed men found it impossible to accept that such an extraordinary woman died in such an ordinary way.

Soldier N had alleged that elite troops had made a scheme to arrange Diana's death in a Paris underpass and then cover it up as an accident.

Scotland Yard investigators had launched a "scoping" exercise to study the claim that was made, earlier this year, but it seems that after working for several months on the case no further action is going to be taken.

Diana, 36, died in a car crash in Paris' Alma tunnel.
