The hotel that Princess Diana left moments before she died has been searched over allegations of human trafficking and rape by the late tycoon Mohamed Al Fayed.

The Ritz Paris was among three properties searched by French authorities last month, it was revealed on Tuesday.

British investigators joined French forces for the raids and a number of arrests were made.

The former Harrods London and Fulham Football Club owner died in 2023, aged 94.

Since his death, hundreds of women and girls have alleged that they were sexually abused by him and Salah Al Fayed, who died in 2010.

Claims first emerged against Al Fayed in a 2024 BBC documentary that included allegations of rape and sexual abuse.

French prosecutors have begun a preliminary investigation into suspected 'charges of human trafficking committed in an organised gang, aggravated pimping committed in an organised gang and rape' allegedly linked to the tycoon.

Investigators also searched the bolthole used by the former King Edward VIII after he abdicated and became the Duke of Windsor.
