Princess Diana’s Former Bodyguard Reveals Key Security Failures That Led to Her Tragic Accident

When introduced, Diana joked, “I don’t envy you, Ken, looking after my kids.” Prince William quickly objected, “No, we’re not trouble!” while Prince Harry tumbled off a table—capturing Diana’s humor and down-to-earth nature.

Security Failures That May Have Prevented the Tragedy

  1. The Choice of Driver – Henri Paul, the driver that night, had been drinking and was speeding. Wharfe believes bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones should have taken the wheel.
  2. A Risky Attempt to Evade the Media – Instead of coordinating with police, Diana’s team used decoy cars, leading to a dangerous high-speed chase.
  3. Lack of a Dedicated Security Team – After parting from Prince Charles, Diana dismissed her royal protection. Wharfe had advised against it, stressing the importance of trained security.
