He characterised her as joyful and enjoying herself during the holiday, rising every morning at seven to speak with Sansum. But there were times when her upbeat demeanour faltered.

“I had seen her tears too, when she learned of the murder of her friend, the fashion designer Gianni Versace,” he said. “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,” he continued.

“I spent some time reassuring her that no one was going to try to kill her and she was safe with us, but she definitely thought there was a risk that one day she might be assassinated,” he noted of the late Royal’s fears.

Sansum also said that if he had been present for her terrible vehicle accident, he genuinely feels she would still be alive today.

Dodi, in particular, hated wearing seatbelts and I always insisted on it.”

Diana passed away on August 31, 1997, as a result of injuries she received in a Paris vehicle accident. Dodi also passed away there.
