Princess Diana’s former security guard speaks out

Princess Diana’s former security guard believes she’d be alive if he had been travelling with her on the night she died. The Princess of Wales and her partner, Dodi Fayed, were killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997, along with their driver Henri Paul, while her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones was seriously injured.

Lee Sansum, whom the princess nicknamed Rambo, believes things could have been different if he’d been in the car as he would have ensured the couple were wearing their seatbelts.

He told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “It could have been me in that car. We drew straws to see who would be accompanying Trevor that weekend. I pulled a match and it was a long one. When I learnt they were not wearing seatbelts in the crash I understood why they didn’t survive. That shouldn’t have happened.

“It was standard practice for the family to wear seatbelts. It was an order sent down from the boss, Dodi’s dad Mohamed Fayed. Dodi, in particular, hated wearing seatbelts and I always insisted on it.”

Sansum worked for Dodi’s father Mohamed Al-Fayed and was assigned to look after the couple when they stayed at the former Harrods’ boss’ villa in St. Tropez in July 1997. Diana confided in him her fears that she would be murdered one day.
