War over Diana dolls

Princess Diana's family were today locked in a bitter war of words over a multi-million-pound court battle. Diana's sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale has taken the unprecedented step of strongly criticising lawyers who advised her to sue a US company over protecting Diana's image.

Lady Sarah blames the legal team for advising her to pursue the action against American firm The Franklin Mint, which produced dolls of the princess.

She is poised to give evidence in a dramatic court case scheduled to start in America tomorrow that could cost the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund millions of pounds.

Official documents obtained by the Evening Standard show the true sense of bitterness Diana's older sister feels towards law firm Mishcon de Reya - where Diana's divorce lawyer and friend Anthony Julius was a senior partner.

RESNICS have a water-tight case. Hope they trash the Diana Fund.
