the driver of Princess Diana finally breaking his silence shared chilling details live on TV that shook the world I had to turn away think about it and then grip myself back and and get on with what I was doing Princess Diana's untimely and unusual injury a mystery that has haunted us all was revealed to be the cause of her tragic death she was talking and they were worried about other people and it was only later that she had a very very unusual injury I just felt that that it was appearing every day in in newspapers and various things and I was listening to people and uh that was an emotional day on the the day that she imagine the driver's shock hearing of the princess's horrific accident while he was in the comfort of his bed you got the phone call and uh you yes I can vividly what was it like where were you and I was in bed uh with my wife and she answered the phone had a bit of banter with the guy on the other end and then she looked around at me and said I think you better get up and sit on the end of the bed and take this phone call his colleague relayed to him with a grave tone that the princess had sustained severe injuries as a result of an unfortunate accident and it was a colleague from BM moral who was telling me that her Ro highness was actually injured and um put the television on and you you'll see so um that's what I did you know was a bit of a shock got dressed and then went down to Kon Palace summoned to the Palace after the accident he recounted The Surreal and heart-wrenching experience of being thrust into a tragedy yes it was quite difficult because Robin Cook who was then the foreign secretary was on the television giving um giving what had happened and and he was explaining that she was injured when in fact the private secretary Michael was telling the six of us in the office sadly she when he landed in Paris the atmosphere was thick with tension and sorrow a city mourning the loss of a beloved icon yes the 24 hours was quite difficult getting to Paris was fine getting to the Embassy was great except I didn't speak French my wife speaks it fluently which the phone helped and um I I knew one of the military attaches radier Richie uh who immediately came into the room and he used to work with with Princess Anne the hospital was flooded with people desperate to know the princess's condition a testament to her Global impact so I was taken into to help where I went to the hotel and then I went to the hospital and arrived at the hospital um lots of people about uh on I think it was the first floor and there was a lot of people the driver maintaining his professional ISM amid the chaos felt the weight of the world's grief and disbelief yes I mean I was an ex inspector but um I I did say that perhaps people are expecting Lords ladies and Colonels in this uh in in in this particular instance but we were dealt with by S Michael J very very well and given everything that I needed I was given he described the emotional torment of seeing Princess Diana in a hospital bed a star contrast to her usual radiant presence it's very difficult and emotional to see a person lying in a bed and not in a Mor and uh when I was in the room which was very very hot I looked out of the window and I could see people on a roof now whether they knew where where the princess was I don't know but that worried me so I got some blankets cuz there was no curtains and we put blankets along the windows which made it even hotter in the room and I then went and got some fans to try and call the room down and that one moment in my life which perhaps my professionalism was lacking a little bit because as I turned around the eyelashes and the hair of the princess were moving caused by the fan and that just struck me I had to turn away think about it and then grip myself back and and get on with what I was doing you you didn't believe she would for a long for a long time I just refused to accept that she was she was gone um part of you know she would never do this to us but also part of maybe this is all part of a plan I mean you you really believe that maybe she had just decided to disappear for a time for a time and then that she would call us and we would go and join her how long did you believe that years many many years and William and I talked about it as well mainly proof proof that she was in the car proof that she was injured and proof that the very Paparazzi that plac her into the tunnel were the ones that were taking photograph photographs of her lying half on the back seat of the car you right I hadn't been aware before this moment talking about looking at the pictures of the crash scene that the last thing mommy saw on this Earth was a flash belt that's what you saw in the pictures the pictures showed the reflection of a group of photographers taking photographs through the window and the reflection of the window was was them conspiracy theories swirled around the accident each more Sinister than the last demanding thorough investigation I didn't wasn't involved in the first examination and of course she was then buried so we we didn't exume her and have another look because it but it was a review of all of the circumstances there were so many conspiracy theories that needed to be looked at and properly examined they were sort of glossed over a bit to begin with so we we went back and we did that and so I looked obviously at the pathology not just of Diana but also of hry Paul who was the driver and Dodie who was her lover and a guy called Trevor ree Jones who was a security guard so four people in that Mercedes now if you have a crash at about 60 mph in the Mercedes you should walk away and the thing I learned was that you put your seat belt on because Diana didn't have a seat belt on Dy didn't have a seat belt on hry Paul the driver didn't have a seat belt on Trevor ree Jones realized something was going wrong and just got his seat belt on in time cuz he lived to tell the tale and when the car hit the bridge um pillar interestingly the 13th pillar on the bridge you know I mean adds the conspiracy doesn't it it's got to be the 13th pillar um how the SAS managed to get them to hit the 13th pillar I don't know but it it you know when they hit the pillar Dodie hit the back of uh hry Paul with a weight of about three elephants uh and then hry Paul hit the steering wheel they were instantly Diana wasn't badly injured she broken an arm and had a couple of other little injuries but I mean she had she should have survived and she was partly protected by reys Jones cuz he she hit the back of his seat and was saved a bit and in fact when they arrived they they thought she was okay she was talking and they were worried about other people and it was only later that she had a very unusual injury deep in the center of her chest that no one knew was there and when she became ill and collapsed it was at that point it became too late and she she after surgery despite her royal status the driver fondly remembered Princess Diana's tremendous sense of humor a light in the darkness there is a line you don't cross that line you speak to when you've spoken to and it is still very correct she was still very Royal and um yes we were often together in the car and it would be like conversation she had a tremendous sense of humor and wherever we went um I never had a cross word in the two years not one word I think they went in too fast but it in the inquest that was sorted out I've driven through the tunnel myself there are STS in in the tunnel which if if you you can be taken a little bit by if you met two trains in a station one moves out you think you're moving you go into fast where there's stanions it's getting a little bit worrying so whatever happened I I perhaps a little bit too fast and being taken away with the lady in the back and what are your memories of Princess Diana now cuz of course that was such a an emotional time and 20 years ago but when you think back and and think of her Legacy a great boss I felt the last year from August the 28th when the divorce came through that year up to her she felt to me because I I didn't work with her years ago as a police officer I was with Princess Princess Anne but um she was good she seemed to be living a good life and happy I was in bed in the embassy and the phone calls two phone calls came early on and told me that there had been an accident and um clearly I needed to get to the hospital quickly when we arrived we were met by the French interior Minister Jean Pier shenal uh and he said he had heard that she had been that had been the accident she had been badly hurt but didn't know how badly she'd been hurt and then um shmore was taken out by by one of the nurses and he came back in tears really and came up to me and said I'm afraid she's she's but then after we had heard that she had then I was on the phone clearly to um to Robin Jamin and Bal moral to tell him so he could tell the royal family that she had and also to Downing Street it was just getting light two Mercedes Drew up and I told him that the Princess of Wales was he knew that his son had and we offered our condolences Prince Harry grappling with his own grief was shielded from viewing the more gruesome photographs of his mother's final moments all I saw was the back of my mom's head uh slumped on the back seat there were other more gruesome photographs but I will be eternally grateful to him for denying me the ability to inflict pain on myself by saying that because that's the kind of stuff that sticks in your mind forever there was a tremendous shock in the hospital at that stage and certainly when I was told and we were told that she had we were aware that this was a a profoundly moving moment for all those who had been had been involved my wife and I went to Villa KU the the official airport to meet the Prince of Wales he said how Prince William had wanted to go to church that morning which was not he said something Prince William always wanted to do on a Sunday morning so there had been to to church but throughout that day uh that morning he had wanted to do what he thought was in the best interest of two children who had lost their mother rather brutally the feeling I had from the conversation I had with the Prince of Wales and conversation I had later on with the queen was the concern of a family who had lost a member of that family and the family and particularly the Prince of Wales who knew that his children had lost their mother curiously the nation wanted to share their grief it seems to me with someone and the person they wanted to share their grief with was the queen and when the queen came to London I think that was in a sense a cathartic moment for the royal family and was a sense that the royal family and the queen was responding to the grief which the nation felt she was the villain she was the
