After 40 Years, Firefighter Reveals Princess Diana’s Final Words: “I love my two children… Harry’s real father is actually…”
In a stunning and emotional revelation that has reignited worldwide interest in the tragic death of Princess Diana, a retired French firefighter who was one of the first responders at the scene of the 1997 Paris car crash has come forward—nearly 40 years later—to share her alleged final words.
Xavier Gourmelon, who served with the Paris emergency services for decades, has remained mostly silent about the details of that fateful night in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel. But now, in his final years and seeking closure, he has shared what he claims Diana whispered to him in her last conscious moments:
“I love my two children… Harry’s real father is actually…”
(The rest, according to Gourmelon, was lost in a final breath before she fell unconscious.)
The statement, unfinished and shrouded in mystery, has sparked a fresh wave of speculation about one of the most controversial rumors in royal history—the question of Prince Harry’s paternity. For decades, the British press and conspiracy theorists have speculated about the nature of Diana’s close friendship with cavalry officer James Hewitt, who himself has denied being Harry’s father, despite a strong resemblance.
Gourmelon insists that Diana was conscious when he reached her in the wreckage, and she seemed more concerned about her children than her own injuries. “She was calm, despite the chaos around her,” he said. “She looked at me and said, ‘Tell them… tell them I love them.’ Then she added something I’ve carried for 40 years.”
His revelation comes at a time when Prince Harry himself has distanced further from royal life and sought truth, healing, and independence with his wife Meghan Markle in the United States. The resurfacing of this statement could cause ripples through the House of Windsor—especially if more details are verified or witnesses step forward.
The Palace has declined to comment, calling the claim “deeply personal and impossible to confirm after so many years.” However, royal watchers and media outlets are already calling for an independent inquiry or at least a public archive of interviews from key witnesses surrounding Diana’s death.
Whatever the truth may be, one thing is undeniable: Princess Diana’s love for her sons remains her most powerful and lasting legacy. Whether this new detail leads to greater truth or more questions, her final moments continue to echo through generations—haunting, tender, and unfinished.
