Mohamed Al Fayed has told his lawyers to use Kate Middleton as an example of press harassment. This news comes as Mr Al Fayed fights against the decision to not allow a jury to hear the Diana, Princess of Wales inquest.
This Is London said: "The Al Fayed team launched its appeal at the High Court in London, claiming there were "eerie similarities" in the way Kate Middleton was being hounded by the paparazzi and Diana's ordeals by camera."
Mr Al Fayed believes that both his son Dodi and Diana were murdered in a 1997 Paris car crash. He has been fighting for the inquest into their deaths to be heard in front of a jury made up from members of the public, something that seems to have widespread support from the community.
Mr Beloff, Al Fayed's lawyer said: "There is no doubt at all on the evidence available - in particular the report of Lord Stevens which Baroness Butler-Sloss approved for publication - that the paparazzi were involved in the pursuit of the vehicle which crashed on the night in question.
"We respectfully submit that it is quite clear this is, alas, a recurrent problem in contemporary society.
"There are those who have in recent months - in particular in regard to Miss Kate Middleton, who has a relationship with Prince William - said there is an eerie similarity in the way in which the paparazzi are now hounding this young lady and the way in which they hounded the late Princess Diana."
