Princess Diana’s ‘Rambo’ Bodyguard Has Di.d – Why He Believed He Could Have Saved Her
Princess Diana’s former bodyguard, Lee Sansum, recently passed away from a heart attack. Before his death, he reflected on the 1997 Paris car crash that claimed Diana’s life, believing the outcome might have been different had he been present. In his book, he revealed that security assignments were decided by chance that night—he drew the longer matchstick, sparing him from the fatal ride. Lee emphasized that Diana and Dodi Fayed’s failure to wear seatbelts, contrary to standard protocol, likely contributed to their deaths.
The sole survivor, bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, suffered severe facial injuries but recovered over time. While rumors exaggerated his condition, he endured a coma, memory loss, and extensive reconstructive surgery. Now living a quiet life in Shropshire, Trevor rarely speaks about the tragedy. Meanwhile, Dr. Frederic Mailliez, who assisted Diana at the crash scene, only later realized her identity. The incident remains a haunting chapter for all involved, with unanswered questions lingering decades later.
