RadarOnline.com reveals Princess Diana's secret Paris crash files will remain locked away until 2082, sparking fears of a cover-up as the 30th anniversary of her death approaches in 2027. The 6,000-page dossier, compiled by French police in 2007 after an 18-month probe into the 1997 crash that killed Diana, 36, and Dodi Al Fayed, 42, is stored in the basement archives of the Palais de Justice in Paris.

The documents are tightly guarded by armed officers and protected under article L213-2 of France's heritage code, which bars public access to certain national files for 75 years. Because the dossier was finalised in 2007, it will not be available until 2082 at the earliest, and sources say French authorities could extend the restriction indefinitely.
