Princess Diana’s bodyguard name drops ‘real culprit’ behind her death

Princess Diana’s former bodyguard breaks down her ‘true’ cause of death.

Diana’s former bodyguard, Lee Sansum, made these revelations to The Sun, during a former interview.

In his interview with the outlet just last month he began by noting how “It could have been me in that car.”

“We drew straws to see who would be accompanying Trevor [Rees-Jones, Diana’s bodyguard who was in the front seat of the car and the crash’s only survivor] that weekend.”

“When I learned they were not wearing seatbelts in the crash I understood why they didn't survive. I always insisted on it.”

He also noted how the Al-Fayed family was ‘strictly’ told to wear seatbelts, and it's reported that the only survivor, Mr Rees- Jones was the only passenger to wear his seatbelt.

In his own book, Mr Sansum also noted,  “There was an understandable focus on seatbelts at the inquest and the fact that the people who died in the crash — Diana, Dodi and Henri Paul — were not wearing them. Only Trevor was and he survived, just.”

My initial reaction to the news of the crash had been to question how this could have happened — they were travelling in a robust car and I couldn’t imagine how three people could have died on the streets of Paris like that.”

“But then I saw the state of the vehicle. Later, when I learned they were not wearing seatbelts, I began to understand why they didn’t survive.”

It has been found that the driver of the vehicle, Henri Paul was under the influence of alcohol in the night of August 31, 1997.

The final report also referenced him in full and accused the driver of being the culprit behind the deaths, and even cited the accompanying paparazzi.
