SAD NEWS: 15 Minutes Ago, Princess Diana’s Final Royal Bodyguard Drops Heartbreaking Advice that would have safe her life; Ultimate price has been paid
Princess Diana’s former bodyguard has revealed how she paid the ultimate price for abandoning her Royal Protection Squad officers.
Ken Wharfe, her final official police minder, says the royal would still be alive today if she’d heeded his advice to stay under the wings of Scotland Yard’s highly-trained staff, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Wharfe was bodyguard to Princes William and Harry from 1986 and became Princess Diana’s personal protection officer in 1988.
He stopped working for Diana in 1993 but continued with the Royal Protection Squad until his retirement in 2002.
But the SAS-trained bodyguard found himself in the princess’s company one last time before her fateful trip to Paris in 1997.
Wharfe said: “I left in October 1993 for reasons that were personal but ultimately I could see that Diana’s life was going in a totally different direction than I imagined.
“Two or three weeks after my departure her private secretary telephoned and told me she wanted to see me at Kensington Palace.
“We had a very informal tea and biscuits and we reminisced on the good times.”
Diana then asked her bodyguard if he had any advice for her and Wharfe believes that had she taken it her life could have been very different.
“I said ‘I don’t know what you’re about to do but I would urge you not to abandon Scotland Yard security,'” he recalled.
He added: “I acknowledged that on occasions they had been invasive but we kept her alive and kept her sense of humor where it should be and she listened.
“But weeks later, at the end of December 1993 she abandoned her security in its entirety.”
Less than four years later the Princess of Wales was killed in the fatal crash in Paris.
