For over two decades, the mystery surrounding Princess Diana’s tragic death has haunted the world. Now, in a stunning turn of events, the only surviving bodyguard from that fateful crash in Paris, Trevor Rees-Jones, has broken his silence after reportedly recovering key memories long lost to trauma.
Rees-Jones, who was seriously injured in the 1997 car crash that claimed the lives of Princess Diana, Dodi Al-Fayed, and driver Henri Paul, had no recollection of the accident — until now.
“I didn’t remember anything for years,” he revealed in a quiet, exclusive interview. “But recently, pieces started coming back… and what I now remember changes everything.”
“It Wasn’t Just an Accident.”
According to Rees-Jones, in the hours leading up to the crash, he felt “something was off” — a sense of unease he couldn’t explain. The security arrangements that night were unusual, with last-minute changes, the mysterious presence of unrecognizable faces, and mounting pressure to avoid paparazzi in ways he says felt “chaotic and deliberate.”
“I wasn’t just guarding a VIP that night,” he said. “I was protecting a woman who told me she felt her life was in danger.”
He recalled Diana’s haunting words shortly before they left the Ritz Hotel:
“‘If anything happens to me, promise me people will know I didn’t go quietly.’ Those were her words. And I’ve never forgotten them.”
Recovered Memory: The Final Seconds
Rees-Jones shared fragments of what he now believes were the final seconds before impact:
“I remember the blinding lights, the screech of tires, and a voice — maybe mine — yelling, ‘Slow down!’ I remember Diana gasping. Then… darkness.”
His new testimony, though incomplete, raises serious questions about the original investigation, which concluded the crash was caused by speeding and a drunk driver. Rees-Jones now says he doubts the official narrative.
“I’m not claiming conspiracy. But I’m saying we weren’t told everything. I wasn’t told everything. And Diana — she knew more than most dared admit.”
“It’s Time the World Heard Her Truth”
After years of silence, recovery, and private battles, Trevor Rees-Jones says he is now ready to work with investigators and historians to ensure Diana’s story is told in full — including her fears, her warnings, and the unanswered questions that still remain.
“I was the last one with her. I lived. And now I carry the weight of telling the world: She deserved better. She deserved the truth.”
Royal watchers, truth-seekers, and millions of Diana’s admirers around the globe are now holding their breath. With this new testimony, the story of the People’s Princess may be far from over.
