Typing in Ponzi doesn't work for the final clue. It is impossible to answer this clue.

"These type of people chased Princess Diana in 1997, perhaps leading to her death"

There's no "perhaps" about it. There was an inquest. The jury decided on 7 April 2008 that Diana had been unlawfully killed by the following vehicles.

You don't have to drive through a city tunnel at 200 km an hour to avoid having your picture taken with your boyfriend. That endangers more people than a photograph.

They were convicted in a British inquest & acquitted in a French one so "perhaps" is an appropriate word.

A jury's finding does not convert conjecture into fact. I happen to think the paparazzi are responsible for Diana's death, but there are innocent people sitting in prison because a jury wrongly found them guilty.

Currently, Gdansk is an acceptable type-in for the former name of Gdansk, so might want to change that. Otherwise great!

It says English Queens, not Queens of England (of which there haven't been any since the acts of union in 1707). In that case, you could still say only one though, since the current royal family is of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha line, and thus German.

I don't think Saltzburg is a valid spelling of Salzburg. Though I guess it's close enough.

Maybe add type-ins for Grand Vizier? I tried "vazir", "vezir", "wazir" and "wazer" but none were accepted.

Agree. I got it right but considering the word is a transliteration, more type-ins for vizier should be accepted.

Yes, considering that a large portion of your English speaking audience would only know the word as "Wazir" you might want to lighten up a bit on this. When I was in school, that's the spelling that was taught - it's not like there's a service somewhere that lets all of us oldsters know that you all spell it a different way now.
