Princess Diana’s Former Bodyguard Reveals 3 Critical Mistakes That May Have Contributed to Her Tragic Death

In a revealing new interview, Princess Diana’s former bodyguard has identified three major security missteps he believes played a role in the 1997 car crash that claimed her life. The veteran protection officer pointed to the lack of a professional security team, the use of a decoy route that wasn’t properly vetted, and the decision not to wear seatbelts as crucial errors.

“These were preventable issues,” he said, adding that standard royal protocols were ignored the night of the accident in Paris. The claims have reignited public discussion about the circumstances surrounding Diana’s death and whether more could have been done to protect her.

The bodyguard emphasized that his intent is not to place blame, but to highlight lessons that could prevent similar tragedies in the future.
