Shocking 😯:At 60, Princess Diana’s Sister Breaks Down in Tears, Finally Confirming Rumors: “I Dared Not Speak Out; That Person Is Too Powerful and Frightening…see more
After decades of silence, Princess Diana’s ex-chauffeur has made the bold claim that she would still be alive today if he’d been the one driving on the night she died.
The former Princess of Wales passed away at the age of 36 on August 31, 1997, due to a fatal car crash in Paris.
Now, Steve Davies has opened up about BBC reporter Martin Bashir’s role in what happened.
Davies had been a royal chauffeur for eight years and had served as Princess Diana’s personal driver for half of that time. So, he was quite surprised when he was asked to leave his position in March 1996, without explanation.
But after years of wondering where he went wrong, Netflix’s The Crown finally allowed him to put the pieces together.
In a meeting in September 1995, Bashir allegedly lied to both Diana and her brother, Earl Spencer, in an attempt to win the princess’s trust and make her feel insecure, claiming that Davies had leaked information about her to the press.
“I was forced out of a job I wanted to be my life’s work,” Davies told The Mail on Sunday. “Royal service is about being trusted and loyal, showing discretion, having a sense of duty. Your reputation, your good name is everything.
“Martin Bashir robbed me of mine by making those allegations to Diana.”
He added, “I’m not the kind of man who wastes time and energy being bitter or angry, but she died believing I had betrayed her and that’s something I can’t ever forget or forgive.”
