According to The Sun, Harry did his homework for a section on his mother’s tragic death: “official judicial sources in Pari have revealed that Harry’s researchers have been in touch, seeking information about the car crash in the Pont d’Alma, Paris, that killed Diana on August 31, 1997.”
Royal Family News – Harry Did His Homework
A source told the Sun: “There have been approaches which suggest Prince Harry is intensely focused on getting more information about his mother’s death. There are plenty of people in France who recall the night of the accident. It’s only normal that Diana’s son should want to learn more about it for his book.”
Lee Sansum is an ex-bodyguard of Princess Diana, and he told the outlet, “that he and other guards had drawn straws to accompany bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones that day. (Rees-Jones, now 54, was the only survivor of the crash.)”

He believes that Princess Diana would be alive if not for one thing: “When I learned they were not wearing seatbelts in the crash I understood why they didn’t survive,” he said.
Diana was in the car with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed and Sansum had guarded them earlier that summer.
He gave crucial insight into her state of mind, recalling, “She had been happy on that holiday. But I had seen her in tears too, when she learned of the murder of her friend, the fashion designer Gianni Versace. She confided in me her own fears that she might one day be assassinated. She asked if I thought his murder outside his home was a professional killing. I thought it was. Then she said something that always stayed with me —‘Do you think they’ll do that to me?’ She was shaking and it was clear from her tone that she really thought that they might, whoever ‘they’ might be.”
Royal Family News -Diana Was Afraid
On August 21 a new documentary on Diana’s death will air in the U.K., titled Diana: Death in Paris. Its producer Henry Singer told The Sun: “We hope it will lay to rest the conspiracy theories.”
How will Harry address the death of his mother while he was still a young boy? The movie consulted numerous experts, including, “Officers from the French Brigade Criminelle and London’s Metropolitan Police.” Will Harry’s book replicate this level of exacting detail? It is due to drop in autumn, and royal fans will have their answer then.
