The former SAS sniper, dubbed Soldier N, who had claimed that Princess Diana was 'assassinated' by the elite regiment, may be charged for wasting Scotland Yard's time, it has been revealed.

A security insider told the Daily Star that Soldier N's wife, who had come forward with the claims which her former husband had supposedly confessed, just passed on what she was told.

The source asserted that a lot of experienced people spent a lot of time on his allegations, adding that security officials are going to be conferring with the Crown Prosecution Service about how to get him charged.

The Met Police had previously ruled out any form of conspiracy theory linking SAS to Diana's alleged murder plot because of lack of "credible evidence".

Investigations into the matter started after Soldier N claimed that the 1997 Paris car crash, which killed Diana, her beau Dodi Fayed and chauffer Henri Paul, happened when a blinding light was shone in the driver's eyes to make him lose control of the car.
