Fayed bid to summon Philip fails
BBC breaking news graphic
Mohamed Al Fayed's bid to compel the Queen and Prince Philip to give evidence at the inquest into the death of Princess Diana has failed.

The Harrods owner's legal team argued that the Royal couple had information which would shed light on the death.

He has accused the Royal family of having the princess murdered because he said they disapproved of her relationship with his son, Dodi.

The ruling means no more evidence will be heard and summing up will start.
