More than 10 years after Britain’s late princess, Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris, a jury of 11 men and women will begin an inquest.
The inquest at the Royal Courts of Justice in London is expected to last for at least six months.
"It is not like a court with prosecution on the one side and defence on the other," he says.
"This is an inquisitorial procedure. It's an inquiry. The coroner acts as an inquisitor. He runs the show,” says legal commentator, Joshua Rozenberg.
Princess Diana and her friend Dodi Al-Fayed left the Ritz Hotel in Paris on August 30, 1997.
Despite the decoy, paparazzi photographers managed to tail the car. But five minutes after the chase, the Mercedes slammed into the 13th pillar of the Alma tunnel.
Dodi Al-Fayed died on the spot. And Princess Diana was declared dead on 4: 00 am.
Dodi's father Mohammed Al-Fayed has blamed the deaths on the Queen's husband Prince Philip and the British secret service.
But it is highly unlikely that the coroner will call members of the royal family to give evidence.
Kensington Palace, Diana's former home, is still a shrine to her memory.
Tourists visiting the site remain convinced that the full truth hasn't yet been told. But some believe the chapter should now be closed.
"She's gone, you can't bring her back. Let her rest in peace," they say.
