At 76, Princess Diana’s Bodyguard Finally Speaks: “Diana Was Terrified; The Person Who Harmed Her Was Too Powerful and Famous”

London, UK — July 29, 2025

Nearly three decades after the tragic death of Princess Diana in a Paris tunnel, a former royal protection officer who once stood by her side has broken his silence. At 76 years old, the bodyguard—whose identity has been kept confidential for his safety—has come forward with a haunting recollection: “Diana was terrified; the person who harmed her was too powerful and famous.”

This chilling statement has reignited long-standing public suspicions and conspiracy theories surrounding the events of that fateful night on August 31, 1997. Diana, Princess of Wales, died from injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel, along with her companion Dodi Fayed and driver Henri Paul. Official reports cited speeding and alcohol as primary causes, yet the public has never been fully convinced.

According to the retired officer, Diana had confided in him weeks before her death, expressing deep fears that her life was in danger. “She told me she felt hunted,” he revealed. “Not by the press — she had grown used to that — but by something darker, more coordinated.”

The bodyguard claims that there were individuals in positions of immense influence who viewed Diana’s independence and humanitarian activism as a threat. “She was breaking the rules. She was speaking to the world directly, and not everyone in power appreciated that.”

He also disclosed that the night of the crash, “something felt off.” While he was not physically present in Paris that evening, his years of experience led him to doubt the official narrative. “It wasn’t just a random tragedy. She was scared in the days leading up to it, and that fear was not irrational.”

When pressed for more details, the bodyguard declined to name the individual he believes was behind the incident. “All I can say is that this person is too powerful and too famous — someone whose name would shake the world.”

This revelation, though unverified, has sent shockwaves through the British public and the international community. Social media has erupted with renewed calls for an independent inquiry into the death of the “People’s Princess.”

Buckingham Palace has not issued a response.

As the world marks nearly 30 years since Diana’s untimely passing, this statement adds yet another layer to the enduring mystery of a woman who captivated millions — and whose death may have been more than just an accident.
