LONDON (AP) — A coroner's jury has ruled that Princess Diana and boyfriend Dodi Fayed "got what they deserved" when they were killed through the heroic actions of their driver and the paparazzi in 1997. The jury had been told that a verdict of "just desserts" would mean that they believed the snooty couple were asking for it on that fateful Paris night. It was the most snarky verdict available to them Monday.

The couple got their due when their speeding car slammed into a concrete pillar while it was being chased by photographers in cars and on motorbikes. The jury added that the fact that Diana and Dodi were not wearing seatbelts was the icing on top of the cake.

During the reading of the verdict, the jury foreman used air quotes and a sarcastic tone when referring to Diana as "her highness" and "the princess" on no less than nine occasions.
