Princess Diana's sons have tried to draw a line under years of speculation surrounding her death with a statement welcoming her inquest verdict.
In a message to jurors, Princes William and Harry said: "We agree with their verdicts and are both hugely grateful."
The inquest found Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed were unlawfully killed due to the "gross negligence" of driver Henri Paul and the paparazzi.
But Mr Al Fayed's father Mohamed has refused to accept the verdicts.
'Profound gratitude'
The princes thanked the jury "for the forbearance they have shown in accepting such significant disruption to their lives over the past six months".
They also commended coroner Lord Justice Scott Baker for "his unfailing courtesy and for all the consideration shown by him and his staff not only to us but to all those involved in this hearing".
They added: "We are particularly grateful to Trevor Rees and to others who came forward to give evidence - in many cases reawakening their painful and personal memories.
"Finally, the two of us would like to express our most profound gratitude to all those who fought so desperately to save our mother's life on that tragic night."
Blow to 'millions'
The jury of six women and five men returned joint verdicts of unlawful killing through grossly negligent driving - or gross negligence manslaughter, by majorities of nine to two.
The inquest into the 1997 Paris crash that killed the couple and Mr Paul lasted six months.
The total cost to British taxpayers of investigating Princess Diana's death is expected to exceed £10m.
But Mohamed Al Fayed has rejected the verdicts and his spokesman warned that he may still mount a legal challenge by means of a High Court judicial review.
In a statement issued immediately after the jury's decision, Mr Al Fayed said the verdicts would come as a blow to "millions" of his supporters around the world.
'Waste of money'
He also insisted the hearing, held largely at his behest, had not been a waste of time or money.
This was not the opinion held by many of those who answered a BBC Newsnight poll on the subject.
The survey of 1,000 people found 78% thought the estimated £10m bill had not been well spent and 62% thought the princess's death was a tragic accident.
Despite the verdicts, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed it is not possible for the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute foreign nationals for deaths abroad, even if the victim is British.
All of the paparazzi involved were foreign.
Meanwhile, Princess Diana's former Butler, Paul Burrell, is waiting to discover whether he will be investigated by the police for perjury for allegedly lying at the inquest.
Scotland Yard has so far refused to confirm whether there will be an inquiry, but the Crown Prosecution Service said if the police gave them a file on the matter, they would investigate it.
