A photographer has been ordered to pay £3,900 damages for taking a photograph of Britain's late Princess Diana before she died.
British paparazzo Jason Fraser - who breached French criminal privacy laws by taking the picture while Diana was on a yacht with boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed in 1997, just days before they were killed in a tragic road collision- was also fined £2,400.
The damages were awarded to Dodi's millionaire father Mohamed Al Fayed, who owned the boat.
Fraser, 41, was cleared of the charge two years ago before a French court reopened the case. He said he hoped the ruling would be overturned.
I remain confident and would expect a French supreme court to now confirm my continuing faith in the common sense of the French legal system.
He said: "I remain confident and would expect a French supreme court to now confirm my continuing faith in the common sense of the French legal system."
Publishers of France Dimanche, which printed the pictures, were also fined £2,400.
The photographs show Diana - who was labelled "the people's princess" by former Prime Minister Tony Blair - kissing her boyfriend Dodi and confirmed their relationship.
