The Metropolitan Police is assessing new information it has recently received about the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed in 1997.
Scotland Yard says it is "scoping" the details and "assessing its relevance and credibility".
It said it was "not a re-investigation" into the deaths of the couple in a Paris car crash on 31 August 1997.
A Met Police spokesman said that the force would "not discuss the source of the information" it was assessing.
Paparazzi on motorbikes
Scotland Yard added that the assessment did not come under Operation Paget - the police investigation into allegations that Diana and her boyfriend Dodi were murdered.
It was a theory endorsed at the time by Dodi's father Mohamed Al Fayed, then owner of Harrods.

The information, thought to include the allegation that the Princess of Wales, Dodi al Fayed and their driver were killed by a member of the British military, will be assessed by officers from the Specialist Crime and Operations Command.
It was passed to the police by the former parents-in-law of a former soldier, according to Sky sources.

She died sixteen years ago. Can't we just stop talking about this already.
Whilst we are dragging this story up time and time again real news about other people dieing needlessly goes unread.

Soon after her divorce from Prince Charles, Diana wrote in a letter to Mr Burrell: "This phase in my life is the most dangerous". Afraid that she was about to be assassinated, Diana decided to leave a written record naming those who were plotting her downfall. In a letter dated October 1996, Diana identified one of the key individuals who she suspected was "planning an accident in my car".
