The Diana inquest was finished yesterday when jurors found that the Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed “were unlawfully killed by the reckless driving of their chauffeur, Henri Paul, and the paparazzi who chased them,” the UK Guardian reports.

Paul was revealed during the inquest to have been three times over the French blood alcohol limit, with blood tests and other samples.

Princes William and Harry were present to hear the verdict, and later thanked the jury for the “thorough way in which they have considered the evidence”.

“We agree with their verdicts,” the Princes stated, “and are both hugely grateful to each and every one of them for the forbearance they have shown in accepting such significant disruption to their lives over the past six months.”

The Princes said they were also grateful to the people who came forward with evidence, and to “all those who fought so desperately to save our mother’s life on that tragic night.”

Mohamed Al Fayed, Dodi’s father, said he was “disappointed” by the verdict. He believed that his son and the Princess had been killed deliberately, as part of a conspiracy involving the royal family and MI6.

During the six-month inquest, more than 240 witness testified. It is estimated to have cost upwards of £10m.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire arrived in theatres with a bang, earning $101.4 million in its opening weekend, the best result yet for the movie franchise.

It is the fourth-best three-day opening weekend in history, behind only Spider Man ($114.8 million) and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Shrek 2 ($108 million apiece).

Goblet of Fire is the first Harry Potter film to earn a PG-13 rating, but this didn?t deter fans of the boy wizard from flocking to their local theatre.

?The Potter franchise is just irresistible to moviegoers,? says Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. ?The combination of the Potter books and the love audiences have for the movies conspired a big opening weekend.?

Landing far behind in second place is the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, which took in $22.4 million.

The computer-animated Disney film Chicken Little dropped from top spot to third place this week, raking in $14.8 million. The Jennifer Aniston thriller Derailed earned $6.5 million and the sci-fi kids adventure Zathura rounded out the top five with $5.1 million.
