Clarification

RICHARD KAY and the Daily Mail have told us that our front-page story of 23 March was wrong to suggest that Mr Kay, a Daily Mail journalist, is receiving a pounds 50,000 advance for a new biography of the Princess of Wales.

The book is the Daily Mail's 12-part tribute to the Princess written by Mr Kay and his colleague, Geoffrey Levy. It will contain no new material by Mr Kay.

The Daily Mail also says, contrary to our report, there is no dispute between them and the publisher, Boxtree, nor with Mr Levy. We are happy to set the record straight and apologise for having given the wrong impression.
