Princess Diana could spend a whole day in the witness box in her battle over peeping-tom photos, her lawyer confirmed last night. Di is determined to get public revenge and huge damages over sneakily-taken pictures of her exercising in a gym in a leotard.

Next February 13 has already been set as the date for the start of her High Court hearing against Mirror Group Newspapers and ex-gym boss Bryce Taylor. Di has given a witness statement and the case is expected to last a week.

Anthony Julius, head of litigation at her solicitors Mishcon de Reya, said it was possible she would give evidence for up to a day. Mr. Julius said: “The principle is that people who break confidences shouldn’t profit from their bad behaviour.”

Di has refused pleas to settle privately against New Zealander Mr. Taylor, who took the shots with a hidden camera, and Mirror Group Newspapers which published them. The Princess wants an order against Mr. Taylor and MGN for profits they made.

Mr. Julius said the profits could top one million pounds – and that the Princess may well decide to give any money she recovered to charity. Mr. Taylor’s solicitor, Razi Mireskandari, said:

“If she doesn’t appear I would say her case is much weakened”.
