The Harrods owner said he was doing so for the sake of her sons, Princes William and Harry.

In an interview with ITV News, Mr al Fayed said he accepted the verdict of the inquest "with reservations" and said: "Enough is enough."

But he maintained he still believed his son and the princess were murdered and said the inquest backed up his belief.

He told Sir Trevor McDonald: "I'm a father who has lost his son and I've done everything for 10 years. But now with the verdict I accept it, but with reservations.

"Enough is enough... for the sake of the two princes, who I know loved their mother.

"I'm leaving the rest for God to get my revenge. I'm not doing anything any more... this is the end."

He also criticised coroner Lord Justice Scott Baker for not exploring every aspect of the case.

Diana and her lover were killed alongside their driver Henri Paul when the Mercedes they were in slammed into the 13th pillar of the Alma Tunnel in Paris on August 31 1997.

After 10-and-a-half years and inquiries likely to cost taxpayers well over £12 million, the 11 jury members concluded that the "People's Princess" was unlawfully killed by bad driving.
