It is thought that there are only four frames taken by the Italian photographer Mario Brena. But if accounts are to be believed they show the Princess kissing and caressing Fayed, and even wrapping her legs around his waist.
The Sunday Mirror is reported to have paid £400,000 for first rights and News Corporation's The Sun newspaper £50,000 for second rights.
Once they have been sold around the world, Mr Brena is likely to make more than £1 million.
