   This last bit wasn't aimed at David Leppard, who does mention that she   
   wasn't a member of the 'royal' family when she died. But he hardly gives   
   a good picture of the legal circumstances in which an inquest is   
   supposed to come under the jurisdiction of the coroner of the 'royal'   
   household.   
      
   And yet the issue of whether or not such circumstances were actually   
   present appears to be one which Mohamed al-Fayed's lawyer Michael   
   Mansfield is saying he could mount a successful legal challenge over.   
   More power to his elbow.
