No! Please don't spread that rumor again. It's not true. A drunk driver
driving the princess killed her. The pursuing photographers were incidental
to the issue, and are guilty of bad taste, but not killing her.

As for the trees, if you're a photojournalist, they have to let you shoot.
Besides, as has been posted here, they can only legally stop you if you're
doing commercials or movies.
