Breaking News: Prince William Announces Bodyguard from Diana’s Fatal Crash Has Regained Memory After 27 Years – “There Was Someone Who Chased Diana…”
In a stunning and emotional development, Prince William has made a shocking announcement that has reopened one of the most tragic and mysterious chapters in royal history: the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Speaking at a surprise press briefing outside Kensington Palace, the Prince of Wales confirmed that the sole surviving bodyguard from the 1997 Paris car crash — Trevor Rees-Jones — has reportedly regained key fragments of memory that had remained buried for nearly three decades.
“After 27 years, we finally have something we thought we’d never get,” Prince William said. “A voice from that night. A witness. And a man who’s ready to speak.”
The revelation has immediately reignited global interest in Diana’s death — which, for years, has been surrounded by conspiracy theories, unanswered questions, and deep public sorrow. On the night of August 31, 1997, Princess Diana, her companion Dodi Fayed, and their driver Henri Paul died in a devastating crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel. The only survivor was Rees-Jones, her bodyguard, who suffered severe head injuries and had no memory of the incident — until now.
In a private statement shared by the Palace, Rees-Jones reportedly told investigators:
“I remember lights. Flashes. Noise. But then I saw something — someone. We were being followed. Chased. It wasn’t just paparazzi. There was another vehicle, moving fast… with purpose.”
Though Rees-Jones did not identify anyone by name, his memory adds a new dimension to long-held suspicions that the fatal crash may have involved more than reckless driving and press intrusion.
Prince William, visibly emotional, said that hearing the recovered memories was “like hearing my mother cry out from the past — asking not to be forgotten.”
He also emphasized that this revelation is not about revenge, but about truth and closure.
“This isn’t about conspiracy. This is about justice. About finally understanding what really happened to my mother that night — and allowing her the peace she never received.”
Buckingham Palace has confirmed that a new, limited internal review will be conducted based on this testimony, with cooperation from French authorities. MI5 and Scotland Yard have also reportedly been briefed.
Prince Harry, currently in California, was informed privately and is said to be “shaken but grateful” for the new information. A joint statement from Harry and William may follow in the coming days — a rare show of unity between the estranged brothers, brought together once again by their mother’s memory.
The British public has responded with overwhelming emotion, flooding social media with messages under the hashtag #JusticeForDiana, which began trending within minutes of the news.
As the world awaits more details, one thing is clear: the story of Princess Diana is not over. And now, at long last, her sons may be closer than ever to understanding the truth behind the night that changed their lives forever.
