“Diana Was Still Alive; I Carried Her Out of the Car, But Charles…” — Diana’s Driver Tearfully Reveals the Truth 27 Years Later, Leaving the Nation in Shock
In a revelation that has reopened old wounds and left the British public stunned, a former driver closely connected to Princess Diana has come forward with a heart-wrenching account of what happened on the night of August 31, 1997—the night that changed the Royal Family forever.
Speaking publicly for the first time, the man, whose identity is being protected due to security concerns, claims he was not only one of the first to reach the wreckage in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, but that Diana was still alive when he pulled her from the car.
“I remember everything,” he said, his voice shaking with emotion during the exclusive televised interview. “I was trailing the car from a distance, as part of a precautionary backup. When I reached the scene, I saw the smoke, the twisted metal… and then I saw her. Diana. She was still breathing. She was alive.”
According to his account, Diana was conscious but severely injured, whispering faint words as he pulled her gently from the wreckage. “She kept asking about the boys,” he said, wiping away tears. “She said, ‘Tell William and Harry I love them.’ I promised her I would.”
