Transcript
00:00:00for seven years I was closer to Diana than anybody he was much more than just a bodyguard
00:00:10he was clearly a confidant we had this sort of chemistry and this understanding she said
00:00:19I just wonder why I'm here what am I doing in this relationship she was crying and I
00:00:25put my arms around her and try to comfort her in some sort of way she looked lost
00:00:32that made me realize that she was alone in this world I was the shoulder that Diana was able to
00:00:40try on when she was at breaking point she was under tremendous pressure about Camilla
00:00:46my name is Ken Worf I was the bodyguard to Diana princess of Wales I'm now telling my story in
00:00:57full I'll always remember she said if anything happens to me will you let people know what I'm
00:01:03really like because nobody understands me and I said well actually ma'am the only person that
00:01:09understands you is me we have reports from Paris the Diana princess of Wales has been killed in a car
00:01:32accident I was completely stunned by this totally stunned how could someone like her die so tragically
00:01:40it wasn't possible I did feel angry and I reflected back to that moment when Diana abandoned her security
00:01:50because I knew deep in my heart that without it she would ultimately perish would she have had any of
00:01:58her British security with her any of her bodyguards most unlikely provided by the Alfayat yeah the Alfayat
00:02:04family of her bodyguards of their own the failure of the protection team was very difficult for me to
00:02:11accept had I with any one person the protection team from Scotland Yard being assigned to this case
00:02:19in Paris in 1997 Diana would not have died that night in 1986 I was actually an inspector in North London I
00:02:46was in contact with Jim Beaton who was the Queen's police officer at that time who offered me the
00:02:53opportunity to look after the young princes William and Harry all members of the royal family at that
00:02:58point had protection officers because there was deemed a genuine threat to their safety
00:03:03I think anybody meeting a member of the royal family for the first time is nervous because there's
00:03:11it's not knowing what to expect arriving at Sandringham house I could hear this unpleasant piece of music
00:03:21coming from a piano as I walked in there was William attempting to play the piano and Harry standing on a very
00:03:30small table de-staminizing a vase of royal lilies the diner looked to me and said Ken I don't envy looking out of my
00:03:39children they can be a bloody nuisance
00:03:43which when William turned round off this swivel stool piano and mumbled something to the effect that I'm not a bloody nuisance and Harry
00:03:51tried to repeat the phrase of his brother and in the process of that became rather excited and agitated fell off this table followed by this vase of lilies and I'm not a bloody nuisance and Harry tried to repeat the phrase of his brother and in the process of that became rather excited and agitated
00:03:56fell off this table followed by this vase of lilies and Diana said you see what I mean Ken and I said I think I do ma'am
00:04:08so this was my first meeting and actually from that moment on that was the sort of story really the relationship
00:04:14now this point of course I hadn't seen Prince Charles at all and I'd said to Diana is your husband an easy person to get on with and she said well you'll have to find that out for yourself
00:04:25there weren't many people she could trust you could not easily be a friend of the Princess of Wales without her having keeping you at a little bit of a distance could she trust you were you going to talk to the press which is really how Ken Worf made such an impact because he was completely different
00:04:44When speaking with Diana in those early days she couldn't speak more highly of Ken than she did I think she needed it because her circle of trust was small she'd been let down in her eyes by many people over the years and when she trusted someone she trusted them absolutely
00:05:06In the early days of when I'm looking out of William and Harry I spent a lot of time with them obviously I mean that was my job
00:05:13you know she would often say to me Ken you you see more of my children than I do you certainly see more than their father
00:05:20I do think that she would have preferred there to be much more involvement from Charles than there was but I'd say well he has a busy lifestyle as well and then there came across a begrudgingly sort of size as a yes all right
00:05:38I picked up very early on Diana's craving for normality for herself and her children one of her phrases was always I just want to be normal and I remember saying to her once you know what you know if they've ever been on an underground train well she rather liked that idea sort of found it exciting she said well you never let me do that and I would say well yeah but if you ask me we can do it
00:06:07well okay then she will let's take them on a tube train I said okay
00:06:14so we drove to Hyde Park corner there went to the underground station got on the Piccadilly line going eastbound to Piccadilly Circus
00:06:24and there you have sat on this train the Princess of Wales Princess William and Harry and what for me was the most amazing picture were people's faces
00:06:34because they knew that this was Diana William and Harry but then they think they would never travel on an underground train
00:06:41and so we got off at Piccadilly Circus and then Harry said you know let's go on a bus
00:06:47and we went on the top deck got off at Green Park and Diana said you must pay for your fare Harry and you William and I'll never forget this moment because the conductor was a seat with a very bright yellow turban and Harry was a seat with a very bright yellow turban
00:07:01and Harry was fascinated by this I don't think he'd ever seen a man with a turban before not least of all a London transport bus conductor
00:07:08Harry was so excited trying to imitate this conductor's speech which Diana found terribly offensive literally slapped Harry round the back of the head and said don't you ever ever do or speak like that to anybody again do you understand?
00:07:24It became quite clear that this was not just police officer and subject it went way beyond that I mean there was something very special developing between the two of them
00:07:37In some ways I think Ken was a was a good companion to the Princess and I think he was very much the kind of guy you could lean on you felt immediately safe in his presence
00:07:51He was extremely solidly there for her he was also very good with the boys
00:07:58Here he was doing the protection job but actually he was great fun with it too
00:08:03Clearly the combination of her the boys and Ken Worf was a pretty happy family
00:08:10I mean the awkward moment I suppose was that actually looked more happy than she was with her husband
00:08:16Within the six month period of working with William and Harry Diana's current bodyguard Graham Smith had been diagnosed with a terminal cancer
00:08:31And asked me if I would like to take the role of leading Diana's protection and there the new protection journey began
00:08:39She said welcome to the A team
00:08:46She always referred to her team as the A team and her husband's team as the B team
00:08:52I could see within the first few weeks that the relationship between Charles and Diana seemed somewhat strained
00:08:59Her activity within within the royal palace was very much on her own
00:09:05I mean it was only rare that you saw them together perhaps in a royal engagement
00:09:12Diana said to me well you must have realized that things aren't really good with myself and my husband
00:09:17And I said it really isn't any of my business ma'am
00:09:20But she said no no no no but I just want you to be aware of what I'm going through
00:09:26I think in the mid-80s the public would have perceived the marriage as a happy marriage
00:09:33But two people who had different interests
00:09:35Who could know quite what was in the minds of the Prince and Princess of Wales at that moment?
00:09:40The staff would see incidents that may then come to a certain conclusion
00:09:44But certainly we in the media were not in a position to project any kind of truth about that because we didn't know the truth
00:09:51It was such a good story the Charles and Diana story you wanted their happiness to be complete to continue
00:09:57It was our fairy tale as much as theirs what we saw is what we wanted to see a loving Prince and Princess of Wales
00:10:09The public didn't want to believe that there was something wrong and no one had enough evidence to prove that something was wrong
00:10:17That time when Ken was new into the job I think he rapidly was taken into Diana's confidence
00:10:24But as far as the media was concerned we were very much on the outside
00:10:29We were way out behind those palace walls if you like
00:10:33Still reporting on what we thought were the good times
00:10:361987 saw me really on my first royal engagement with Diana and Charles and the two young princes
00:10:47This was a private holiday to Mallorca
00:10:59Charles and Diana and William and Harry went as guests of the King of Spain
00:11:03It seemed a perfectly idyllic and a happy holiday
00:11:07What we didn't know was of course what was going on in the background
00:11:11We were still very much the press that was totally bought into this idea
00:11:16That this was a very stable and very happy marriage
00:11:22The following day Charles, William, Harry and other members of the Spanish royal household
00:11:27Went on the King's yacht, the Fortuna
00:11:33Within minutes of that yacht leaving a phone call happened and it was Diana
00:11:38General Ken said, can you come up and see me?
00:11:42I'm in the palace, they don't want me on the boat
00:11:46We sat down in the Swingold area
00:11:48And she said, I just want you to know that I'm having an affair with James Hewitt
00:11:57With James Hewitt
00:12:14Diana and I, we were in the palace in the Yorker
00:12:18And Diana had said actually that I'm in a relationship having an affair with James Hewitt
00:12:24And she said also, you know, you're aware of my husband's relationship with Camilla Parker Balls
00:12:36This openness about Hewitt and Camilla was extraordinary
00:12:41Nobody else outside of this royal bubble knew anything about these two relationships
00:12:47Suddenly my role became slightly different
00:12:49Now I'm in a real emotional tussle
00:12:52And I was thinking, what am I heading into here?
00:12:58James Hewitt was an army officer who she had met in the mid-1980s
00:13:03I think he did bring the emotional support she wanted
00:13:07Given the fact that there was little emotional support from her husband at that time
00:13:12On one particular occasion
00:13:15She wanted to go down to James Hewitt's house for the weekend
00:13:18And she said, um...
00:13:20Can you sort of sort that out for me?
00:13:22Now, it was not for me to make any moral judgement about Hewitt or Diana for this
00:13:28I was there solely to protect her
00:13:30Take her to Devon in this particular case
00:13:32And bring her back in one piece
00:13:34So I said, okay
00:13:35Hewitt's mother's cottage was a chocolate box picture, really, with low beams and rugged, well-used furniture
00:13:46This was a far cry from the sort of high-vaulted ceilings of Kensington Palace
00:13:51That said, I felt that Diana was actually at home and comfortable with these such surroundings
00:13:57Clearly, you know, this was an exciting adventure period in her life to go down and see Hewitt
00:14:03I became the chef that night
00:14:08I did knock up a pasta dish
00:14:10And Diana had, uh...
00:14:12Stole, I think, one of Charles' bottles of orange vodka that Hewitt enjoyed
00:14:18This weekend in Devon, it was her escaping into this bubble of normality that she craved
00:14:25This is what normal people do
00:14:27I was actually there in the kitchen witnessing, you know, them watching television
00:14:33Them reading, talking with each other
00:14:36But nearly the end of the day came
00:14:38Diana James went upstairs to their bedroom
00:14:41And I had a sort of makeshift mattress on the landing
00:14:44And I thought, well, how so real is this?
00:14:48Diana and Hewitt are literally 20, 30 feet away in another bedroom
00:14:52And the old cottage had its moments
00:14:54I heard rumours that they were meeting at James Hewitt's mother's farm
00:15:05But nobody was sure, I mean, all of this was cloak and dagger
00:15:08I knew that Ken knew exactly what was going on
00:15:14I actually rang Ken and said, tell me about these weekends
00:15:19Often he was very determined to detach you from one idea and say, no, Eve, I don't think that's right
00:15:26Ken was loyal to one person, and that wasn't me
00:15:30Morning came and I had a very uncomfortable night's sleep
00:15:36And then James Hewitt said to me, is it alright, if we go for a walk
00:15:40I'd say, look, the more you stay in the house, the less chance of things going wrong
00:15:46But if you decide to sort of go walk about in Devon, when there's always a chance of being spotted
00:15:51Then of course, there is a potential problem
00:15:52And I said, well, okay, well, look, you know, I'm going to come with you, but at a discreet distance
00:16:02Walking through these moors and countryside, you know, she was incredibly relaxed
00:16:07And, you know, was enjoying this time away from the rigours of palace life
00:16:12And, of course, dealing with her own marital problems with Charles
00:16:17So, you know, it was a break
00:16:18We had noticed a pattern develop in the lives of the prince and princess
00:16:24They were spending an awful lot of time apart
00:16:27The media thought this seemed a bit odd, you know, and people began to ask what was going on
00:16:33You think, why weren't they together then?
00:16:37Why weren't they together then?
00:16:39And, of course, Ken and his associates were very good at finding things
00:16:45That she could be at while he was somewhere else at the other end of the country
00:16:50Britain's quite a big country when you want to make it so
00:16:54The days of joint engagements seemed to be fading
00:16:59Neither wanted to actually do these things together
00:17:03She was often looking for how can I differentiate myself from the prince
00:17:07I mean, basically, she wanted to help people who needed help
00:17:13At this particular time, Diana was very, very keen to do something
00:17:17To fight the AIDS problem that now hit the United Kingdom
00:17:20And I did agree with her, I thought it was a very good idea
00:17:23I said to Diana that it's very courageous of you to want to do something like that
00:17:28And the very fact that a member of the British Royal Family wants to get involved with this
00:17:32I think it sends out a very positive message
00:17:37Driving her to Buckingham Palace
00:17:40She was very excited about raising this subject with the Queen
00:17:45And so she went and saw her Majesty the Queen
00:17:48Returned within 20 or 30 minutes to me, very tearful and very unhappy
00:17:53I said, hey, what's the problem?
00:17:55And Diana said the Queen just looked at her
00:17:57And then said, why do you want to do that?
00:17:59Why don't you do something useful?
00:18:03And that completely threw Diana, completely stunned her out
00:18:07Thinking, well, I can't think of anything more useful than this
00:18:11Because I said, look, don't kick yourself for this
00:18:15Really, and I don't actually blame the Queen either
00:18:18And so I encouraged Diana to do this
00:18:23At this time, there was, I suppose, a stigma around AIDS
00:18:27And there was a panic, let's be honest about it
00:18:31No one understood it
00:18:33People were terrified that it was a disease that could be passed on through touch
00:18:38And into this extraordinary maelstrom, if you like, walked Princess Diana
00:18:46And she, at a stroke really, stopped the demonizing by one simple act
00:18:52Simple handshake, and that was the effect it had
00:19:04She helped to get rid of that negativity around it
00:19:09Seeing Diana speaking to these AIDS patients, I was certainly proud of her, there's no doubt about that
00:19:14Because nobody else was prepared to do this
00:19:18Getting involved with people who were rejected, like AIDS sufferers, suddenly it all clicked for her
00:19:24HIV does not make people dangerous to know, so you can shake their hands and give them a hug
00:19:31Heaven knows they need it
00:19:32The subsequent write-up was huge, was so complimentary
00:19:38The involvement with AIDS just catapulted Diana's popularity
00:19:43It actually raised Diana's profile as somebody that was actually serious, not just, you know, a double act to her husband
00:19:51She was flying on this, she was really buoyed up
00:19:54But privately, it was a different story
00:20:02Despite her success, she still felt trapped in a marriage that isn't working
00:20:09Because from the very beginning of their marriage, Camilla never really left the side of Charles
00:20:14We talked about Charles and Camilla, there was a bit of resentment there and anger, unhappiness
00:20:25And she said, what are you doing with her?
00:20:28You know, what's wrong with me? Why won't you have me?
00:20:32A real turning point came when Diana was invited to Camilla's sister's 40th birthday
00:20:44I said, are you going?
00:20:53And she said, yes
00:20:55Oh, I said, that's a pretty bold thing for you to do
00:20:57I said, why are you going to that?
00:20:59And she said, well, I want to see what happens
00:21:06So, I'm in the car with Charles and Diana, going to this party
00:21:09And there was literally no conversation between the two of them
00:21:13From the moment we left Kensington Palace to the point of arriving
00:21:16It was total silence
00:21:19When Charles and Diana arrived, it was like free shot in a movie
00:21:24Because I don't think anybody realised that Diana would be at this birthday
00:21:30Within about half an hour, 45 minutes, I heard my name being called
00:21:35Ken? Ken, where are you?
00:21:38There was some sense of urgency about her voice
00:21:41But I went outside and said, are you okay? What's up?
00:21:43And she said, rather aggressively
00:21:45I can't find my husband and I can't find Camilla, Ken
00:21:48You're going to have to come and help me find them
00:21:50And I didn't quite know what Diana was going to do next
00:21:52It was Camilla's sister's 40th birthday
00:22:11Diana was obsessed with the very existence of Camilla
00:22:15And I didn't quite know what Diana was going to do next
00:22:18We descended a flight of stairs
00:22:24And there sat on a small sofa
00:22:26With Charles and Camilla
00:22:31Diana entered this room
00:22:33And there was a complete shock expression on both of their faces
00:22:37But Diana walked across to Camilla
00:22:40With some real energy, which surprised me
00:22:43Said to Camilla, I understand what's going on
00:22:48Please don't treat me like an idiot
00:22:51And then I heard Camilla say
00:22:53Well, it's all right, Diana
00:22:56You know, don't worry
00:22:58You have two wonderful children
00:23:01And now I'm feeling very on edge here
00:23:04This is not a place I should be
00:23:07My only option was to leave
00:23:08And Diana said, no, I want you to stay
00:23:11She wanted me to be there as a witness
00:23:15To what actually was happening
00:23:17Because so easily, had I not been there
00:23:20Somebody would have said, well, no, this never happened
00:23:22This was a horrendous moment for Diana, for sure
00:23:26We went and stood in the hallway
00:23:31I said, look, are you okay?
00:23:33I said, that was not easy for you
00:23:37He said, what's happening in my life, you know
00:23:39Will Camilla ever disappear from my marriage?
00:23:43We got back into the car
00:23:45And as soon as we moved off
00:23:47Diana turned to Charles and said, I don't know how you can do this
00:23:52I found this totally humiliating
00:23:55And Charles said nothing, he didn't say anything
00:23:57I think it made her question, you know, what was her role?
00:24:03I'm married to Charles, but there's someone else
00:24:08That's constantly in the background getting his affection and attention
00:24:12She was thinking, well, am I not good enough?
00:24:15Diana would mention Camilla as a challenge
00:24:19As she called her the Rockweiler
00:24:21I think it was a bit hard, but there we are
00:24:22And I think it was a difficult time
00:24:25And I just think it now was unavoidable to accept what was going on
00:24:30I could see things getting worse between them
00:24:34Highgrave had become this sort of marital battleground
00:24:39Tempers did fly, and on occasions you would hear them
00:24:43Because the house wasn't so big
00:24:45My information from inside the royal staff was there were open shouting matches and swearing as well
00:24:53I would wait by the door to see if she was okay
00:24:55And very often she would turn back sort of in tears
00:24:59And I would say, what's up?
00:25:01She said, well, no, I just, I just can't speak to him
00:25:03He won't listen to what I've got to say
00:25:05And I just wonder, you know, wonder why I'm here
00:25:10You know, we're actually telling a lie
00:25:11That everything is okay in my marriage and my relationship
00:25:16But despite all these marital problems
00:25:19Deep down in her heart
00:25:21She hoped that relationship would get better
00:25:24And I had said actually that she was still in love with Charles
00:25:28I absolutely got the sense that she loved Charles
00:25:33And wanted to make that marriage work
00:25:39She was a very family orientated person
00:25:42She loved her boys
00:25:45She wanted to have that family relationship
00:25:50But of course the existence of Camilla Parker Bowles on his side
00:25:55And James Shewitt on her side
00:25:58Was making that possibility
00:26:01Even more difficult
00:26:02And I said, well, look, only you can turn this around
00:26:05I mean, if that's how you feel
00:26:07And I remember she said, oh, I wonder if you could do me a favor
00:26:11I want Hewitt to know that it's over
00:26:14Would you be kind enough to see him for me?
00:26:16And I said, okay, I'll do it
00:26:19We met at the old Michelin restaurant
00:26:24And we sat down and I said, look
00:26:26I'm not going to sit here with you
00:26:28And talk about your relationship with Diana
00:26:31I'm going to say this
00:26:33And then perhaps we can enjoy the meal
00:26:35And have a drink
00:26:37You are a very lucky man
00:26:39You're a very fortunate man
00:26:41In having had a relationship with Diana the Princess of Wales
00:26:45Now that it's over, accept that and move on in your life
00:26:50Because that's what's happened
00:26:52I could see him thinking, well, you know, if Diana were divorced
00:26:56We could live happily ever after in the Cotswolds somewhere
00:26:59But realistically, there was never ever going to be any longevity
00:27:03In this relationship because of who she was
00:27:05And the fact that she was still married
00:27:07And that was it
00:27:09Ken approached all this with this incredible pragmatism
00:27:12He knew that if he could help her in all these areas of her life
00:27:18That she was asking for help
00:27:20It would somehow make the main job
00:27:22Which was to keep her alive, to keep her safe, easier
00:27:25The relationship with James Hewitt was short-lived
00:27:31But the relationship with Camilla showed no signs of abating
00:27:37I sensed that Diana was looking for any opportunity
00:27:41To try and resolve the differences
00:27:43With Charles, Diana lived in hope that she could actually pull this relationship back round
00:27:49And then something rather unexpected happened
00:27:53In June 1990, Charles had a polo accident
00:27:57And broke his arm
00:27:59He went to hospital to have this arm repaired
00:28:04Diana very genuinely wanted to go and see him
00:28:07To see, you know, how he was
00:28:08Prince Charles is said to be comfortable, though still in some pain
00:28:13On her first visit today, Princess Diana was told her husband wouldn't be allowed home just yet
00:28:18So I went with Diana, then once we got to this room, I excused myself
00:28:22And I said, ma'am, I'll wait outside, which was absolutely right
00:28:25But Diana reappeared almost immediately
00:28:28And I said, that was quick
00:28:31She said, yeah, well, he doesn't want to speak to me
00:28:32I said, oh, that's a shame
00:28:34I said, why is that?
00:28:36And he just said he wanted, wanted to read
00:28:38I said, okay, I, so, what do we do now?
00:28:42He said, well, um, I think we'll, we'll go back
00:28:46I don't believe for one moment that she thought that that would happen
00:28:51I think she was pretty angry
00:28:54To find that she wasn't welcomed in her caring role
00:28:58I think that was it, you know, she did care
00:28:59And when it's rejected, it's quite tough
00:29:03Subsequently emerged, though not at the time
00:29:06That she was not the first person to visit him in hospital
00:29:09But in fact, Camilla had got there ahead of him
00:29:12And it was Camilla who was the one who was making sure Charles was comfortable
00:29:17Camilla Parker Bowles became, I think, a daily visitor
00:29:21To the, to the Prince during his recuperation
00:29:24I think the phrase became, so, um, Prince Sitting, they called it
00:29:27You know, like babysitting
00:29:30There were this inner circle of people who came and spent time with him
00:29:34And his wife wasn't one of them
00:29:40For me, I sensed at that point
00:29:43That this was really the beginning of the end of this relationship
00:29:48I didn't see any way back
00:29:49But this show had to go on, and it did
00:29:56Somehow, despite this unhappiness that she was experiencing
00:30:01She was able to turn on this royal magic
00:30:03And give no indication at all
00:30:05That it was something really wrong back at home
00:30:08She was quite a good actress
00:30:11She was completely calm and confident with everything she was doing
00:30:16And it just flowed off her naturally
00:30:19Book me in 1992, a state-sponsored visit to India
00:30:23It had been planned for Charles and Diana to represent the British government abroad
00:30:27Diana said to me, it wasn't something she wanted to do
00:30:31Simply because it was with Charles
00:30:33But because it had been in the programme for years before
00:30:37It's not one that she could have escaped from
00:30:38I sensed Diana would not perform in a way to give the image that everything is okay with this marriage
00:30:56This was going to be, obviously, an interesting opportunity to see them close up in a foreign land
00:31:03Where they would be expected to spend an awful lot of time in each other's company
00:31:06But guess what happened?
00:31:09They didn't spend very much time in each other's company
00:31:13A trip was planned to the Taj Mahal
00:31:16And I think the entire following press media chose to follow Diana alone
00:31:21Here we have the Taj Mahal of Temple of Love
00:31:25When clearly in their marriage there was very little sign of that
00:31:28Ken came over and talked to us at one stage and said, basically, what do you want?
00:31:33And the photographer said, we need her alone with none of these people
00:31:39None of them, it's just got to be her
00:31:42He said, leave it with me
00:31:44And we all thought it wouldn't happen
00:31:46Astonishingly, he managed to get her somehow separated
00:31:51From all this entourage
00:31:52And Diana came to sit on this bench
00:31:55In front of this iconic building
00:31:58A journalist suddenly called out, what does it feel like to be there in front of the Taj Mahal?
00:32:05And this caught Diana by surprise, because she didn't expect anyone to be asking questions
00:32:10And whispered to me, I was just a few feet away, and said, what on earth does he mean?
00:32:15And I just say, look, just say, it's a healing experience to be here, something like that
00:32:20And then she said, well, it's nice here to be here, it's a very healing experience
00:32:25And then somebody shouted again, well, what do you exactly mean by that?
00:32:29And then she said, well, you make of it what you will
00:32:31We knew that was a front-page picture instantly
00:32:40It spoke volumes about Diana's state of mind, but also about the state of the royal marriage
00:32:49A few days later, at a polo match in Jaipur
00:32:53She presented the award to the winning team, which Charles was the captain of
00:32:58And he leant forward to kiss her, and she turned her head
00:33:07And that was the thing that shocked me most
00:33:11It became known as the kiss that missed
00:33:14She was a wife alone, scorned, rejected
00:33:19And that's what she wanted people to think
00:33:22Discussing that with her afterwards, when I saw that picture
00:33:25And she said, I was just horrified, I just couldn't believe that he wanted to do that
00:33:30And I think at that point, Diana felt a sense of relief here
00:33:33Because it was clear to the press and the wider public
00:33:36That this marriage was in serious trouble
00:33:43After their visit to India, Charles and Diana were living largely separate lives
00:33:49In March 1992, Diana was in Lek in Austria, and Charles was in Switzerland, close to us
00:33:59It was no longer an option for them to ski together, so they skied alone
00:34:06To my surprise, I received a telephone call from Charles' bodyguard late one evening
00:34:11To say that, would it be okay for tomorrow if Charles came over and skied with his children?
00:34:18Could you ask Diana?
00:34:20And I was expecting a very angry response
00:34:22In fact, the opposite happened
00:34:24And a very calm voice said, no, that's fine by me, Ken
00:34:27Which was a surprise to me
00:34:31Charles arrived the following evening
00:34:33And here we have the first time for some years
00:34:35The family actually being together
00:34:38I think that did give her some delight
00:34:44But then suddenly something dramatic happened
00:34:47I was informed by a journalist
00:34:50That Diana's father had died
00:34:56Diana had to be told
00:34:58And in my view, it would have been right for Charles himself to do this
00:35:03And this was discussed in the hallway of the hotel
00:35:07He actually said to me
00:35:09Well, look, you know, you've been with my wife for so long
00:35:14And then, in a rather strange way, he said to me
00:35:17You probably know better than I do
00:35:19In other words, offloading this responsibility
00:35:22I thought to myself
00:35:24Is it for someone like me, a protection officer
00:35:27You know, to be breaking news of such personal nature
00:35:30I remember walking to her room
00:35:35She was sat on her bed
00:35:37And I said to her
00:35:39Sadly, your father has passed away this evening
00:35:46The first thing she actually said to me was that
00:35:49Oh my God, Ken, you know, what am I to do?
00:35:51And, you know, was crying
00:35:55I could see that she was seriously distraught about that
00:35:57My heart went out to her at that point
00:36:01She looked lost
00:36:03I went across her and put my arms around her
00:36:07And, you know, try to comfort her
00:36:09To try and relieve this distress
00:36:11It made me realize that at this particular point
00:36:15That she was alone in this world
00:36:19It was meant to be the perfect family holiday
00:36:21The Prince of Wales had managed to find two full days out of his busy schedule to be at her side
00:36:28But shortly after these pictures were taken
00:36:30The Princess of Wales received the tragic news of her father's death
00:36:33Tonight, the Princess of Wales is being comforted by Prince Charles in their suite of rooms inside their hotel
00:36:39It was the most distressing time for me to have to give this information knowing that her husband was downstairs and had effectively refused to give it
00:36:51The royal couple had hoped to leave tonight, but no plane could be arranged in time
00:36:55The Prince and Princess of Wales will now be leaving first thing tomorrow morning
00:37:00It's an abrupt and tragic end to a family holiday
00:37:03It was so sad
00:37:07We see the photographs
00:37:09And she is sitting in the back of the car in tears
00:37:13And Charles is sitting with her
00:37:17And I thought, well, he's obviously coming home with her to comfort her
00:37:22He's obviously being with her
00:37:24And that's good
00:37:26I was in that car and the atmosphere was dense
00:37:30Charles and Diana were not speaking
00:37:33And neither could really look at each other
00:37:35And each chose to look out of the window
00:37:39And I looked in the rearview mirror
00:37:41And saw Diana's
00:37:43Eyes
00:37:45So well up with tears
00:37:47To witness her in such circumstances was quite difficult to really take in
00:37:51Despite an extremely difficult and emotional start of the year
00:37:58By mid-1992, Diana, I thought, was in a particularly good place
00:38:03The relationship with her husband wasn't particularly good
00:38:05But insofar as work is concerned, I didn't see anything untoward
00:38:09I saw her working as well as I'd ever seen in the years that I'd been working with her
00:38:13But insofar as work is concerned, I didn't see anything untoward
00:38:15I saw her working as well as I'd ever seen in the years that I'd been working with her
00:38:18The first I heard of Diana, Her True Story by Andrew Morton
00:38:19The first I heard of Diana, Her True Story by Andrew Morton
00:38:21Was surprising because I didn't see anything untoward
00:38:22But insofar as work is concerned, I didn't see anything untoward
00:38:27I saw her working as well as I'd ever seen in the years that I'd been working with her
00:38:43The first I heard of Diana, Her True Story by Andrew Morton
00:38:47Was surprising when I was off duty
00:38:49I thought to myself, well, how was this book written?
00:38:53Because I didn't know
00:38:55You never told me anything about this book, man
00:38:57She said, no, I couldn't
00:38:58It was all a bit secret
00:39:00What's it about?
00:39:02She said, well, it's all about me
00:39:06It's about time that I let people know the truth about
00:39:10My marriage, my life
00:39:13I didn't quite know what to say after that
00:39:15I obviously read the book
00:39:18There were two main episodes that really confirmed what Diana was trying to say
00:39:22The very existence of Camilla Parker Bowles
00:39:26That she deemed to be the cause of the failure of their marriage
00:39:30And her general state of unhappiness
00:39:33The princess is said to have given tacit cooperation and personal photographs
00:39:37The book paints a depressing picture of a couple at war with one another
00:39:42The impact was astonishing
00:39:45Shock allegations that there had been suicide attempts
00:39:50And one famous attempt she'd thrown herself down the stairs while pregnant with Prince William
00:39:55At Sandringham House
00:39:57So many people didn't believe that things were going wrong in what was supposed to be this perfect marriage
00:40:05It was a total, total extraordinary explosion
00:40:10Which changed our view of Diana forever
00:40:13The author insisted today that close friends of the princess stand by the integrity of the book
00:40:18We wouldn't have published this story if it wasn't true
00:40:21It is an accurate story, it's a true account
00:40:23The people at the centre of it have stood by their stories
00:40:26I stand resolutely behind them
00:40:30Eventually, of course, the story came out
00:40:32That there was this man, James Coulthouse
00:40:34That was the go-between
00:40:36The very man that I saw arriving at Kensington Palace
00:40:40On a cycle with a wicker basket in front
00:40:42And then, of course, it all clicked into place
00:40:49Andrew Morton wanted questions answered
00:40:51So I went with a tape recorder to Kensington Palace
00:40:54I used to pedal up there, had the briefcase in the basket
00:40:59At the front, and then walk in
00:41:01She sat there, mic'd up, and started narrating the answers
00:41:06And I took those back to Andrew Morton
00:41:08I saw Ken once or twice going in
00:41:13I was invited to lunch quite frequently
00:41:15Therefore, it didn't raise too many eyebrows
00:41:21Following the publication of the book
00:41:24She was as bright as I'd ever seen her before
00:41:28I sensed that she was happier now that actually the truth was out
00:41:33And people could understand what the real problem was
00:41:36The relationship between her and her husband was over
00:41:40And had been over for some time
00:41:44Now, as a result of this book
00:41:46It was obvious from my perspective
00:41:48And I think even Diana's
00:41:50That any chance of reconciliation at this point is zero
00:41:55I was at home when there was a news bulletin
00:41:58A news flashed
00:42:00And it was then that John Major made an announcement in Parliament
00:42:03It is announced from Buckingham Palace that, with regret, the Prince and Princess of Wales have decided to separate
00:42:11It wasn't until I went back to Kensington Palace a few days later
00:42:17That she said, did you hear the news, Ken?
00:42:20And I said, yeah, I said, how are you feeling?
00:42:23Well, it's over
00:42:24She was incredibly tearful, because let's not forget that when a statement like that is made
00:42:30To the world that your marriage is effectively over
00:42:33That's a very distressing thing to hear
00:42:36But clearly, in my view, this is what she wanted
00:42:41She wanted out of this marriage
00:42:42But the problem was, Diana was not really that free
00:42:48She was still a member of the royal family
00:42:51She was still Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales
00:42:54And she was expected to attend all sorts of royal events
00:43:00Personally, I felt very sorry for Diana
00:43:02This was a very sensitive moment for her
00:43:05And a very distressing time
00:43:07And I noticed a real change in her
00:43:09She was very unhappy and quite tearful
00:43:13And it was actually very, very sad to witness
00:43:16She had to start thinking about, where do I go now?
00:43:19What's my next role within the royal family, if there is one?
00:43:23And what am I going to do for the rest of my life?
00:43:25She was actually entering into a period of the unknown
00:43:31The Prince and Princess of Wales began the first day of their formal separation
00:43:35Heading in opposite directions today
00:43:38No sooner had the Prince left Kensington Palace than the Princess returned
00:43:411993 became a very, very difficult period for Diana
00:43:46You know, she was actually thinking, what do I do next?
00:43:49When do I get divorced? What do I do when I'm divorced?
00:43:54She had spoken many, many times before about normality
00:43:59And I think she was looking for greater freedom
00:44:01She was exploring all sorts of options
00:44:05She wanted to move out of Kensington Palace
00:44:08She wanted to have her own house
00:44:11And I think it was around this time that she began talking about
00:44:15Maybe not having protection
00:44:18And maybe doing without it
00:44:19In March 1993, Diana returned to Leck in Austria
00:44:37Which was one of her ski resorts she favoured
00:44:42It was early one morning about half past six
00:44:49I was awoken by my night security officer
00:44:53Who had said to me that, rather sheepishly
00:44:57That Diana had just come into the hotel, come back to the hotel
00:45:01What do you mean, just come in?
00:45:02Are you telling me that you let her out?
00:45:05And he said, no sir, I didn't
00:45:07So how did she get out then?
00:45:09He said, I don't know
00:45:12It couldn't really work out how she'd actually left the hotel
00:45:15So I went outside to the front of her suite
00:45:18And the balcony that she had
00:45:20And there'd been a very heavy snowfall that night
00:45:22I mean, I was now trudging in it with up to my waist
00:45:25But I could see this almost human-like impression in this deep snow
00:45:29And then these steps away from, you know, the balcony
00:45:33Much to my utter amazement, I realised she must have jumped about 20 feet down from this first floor balcony
00:45:44She could have died, I mean, making no small point about it
00:45:47I was actually concerned really for her own mentality
00:45:54Quite what was her state of mind in actually attempting or believing that she could do something like that
00:46:01I had to establish that Diana was safe, that she was in the hotel
00:46:05So I then went and knocked on her door
00:46:08And, um, she was very, very happy, very buoyant
00:46:13Oh, hello Ken, come in
00:46:14I said, yeah, are you okay?
00:46:17And she said, yes
00:46:19I just needed a bit of air, Ken
00:46:21So I said, that's a pretty stupid thing to jump from that balcony
00:46:26She said, uh, I just decided I wanted out
00:46:28I didn't want to disturb your colleagues
00:46:29I didn't want to make a fuss about it
00:46:32I said, it could have been a real fuss had you killed yourself
00:46:37She was under no illusion about how I felt
00:46:40And I felt disappointed
00:46:43She decided to do it her way
00:46:44Which was rather foolish and very dangerous
00:46:53Ken was willing to try and help her
00:46:55He understood that she was finding royal life suffocating
00:47:01What he didn't want was her vanishing and disappearing
00:47:05I'd like to think that for the most part
00:47:07We did give her a tremendous amount of freedom
00:47:09That went beyond perhaps what we should have given her
00:47:12But things were beginning to change
00:47:15And so, in that sense, this was a different Diana
00:47:18So the very fact that she was rethinking the necessity of security
00:47:23You know, sent alarm bells to me
00:47:32Later on that year, we went to Disney World in Florida
00:47:34And I remember going to carry out a reconnaissance with the security and heads of the Disney World
00:47:42And I did ask if they had any inquiries from any media
00:47:45And any sort of signs that press may well have booked into any hotels here in Florida
00:47:51And in the process of that, I saw Richard Kaye actually had pre-booked a room in a hotel near to where Diana would be
00:47:58That sent out slight alarm to me in the sense that, how did Richard Kaye know about it?
00:48:05I was in America on a sign of my newspaper
00:48:09And she did mention it to me
00:48:11She said, I'm thinking of taking the boys to Disney World
00:48:14And I said, you know, are the press going to come?
00:48:18She said, well, they always come, but I expect they'll turn up
00:48:21And I said, shall I come down? She said, yeah, why not?
00:48:25But it was supposed to be a secret
00:48:28So when I got back to London, I did actually mention this to Diana
00:48:32And Diana was sort of very calm about it
00:48:35She said, well, I suppose that's their job, Ken
00:48:37I can't, you know, stop them from doing it
00:48:39I never actually poised the question to Diana
00:48:41I said, did you tell him?
00:48:43It was my assumption that she did
00:48:45Because who else would tell Richard Kaye?
00:48:46Diana was determined to get out her side of the story to the general public
00:48:52And the one way to guarantee an accurate reporting of her time in Disney World
00:48:57Was to give it to somebody that she trusted
00:49:00The very fact that she chose to do such a thing was annoying
00:49:04I was now working with a very different Diana
00:49:07Who clearly, in my view, had an agenda
00:49:10The real concern here was
00:49:11That Diana was effectively leaking private information to a journalist
00:49:17Who else knew about this?
00:49:19Diana may well be informing others
00:49:22About a security operation
00:49:24That needed not to be passed to a third person
00:49:27Which, in a way, did make my life slightly more difficult
00:49:32There had to be total honesty to guarantee her safety
00:49:35There's no doubt about that
00:49:37And without that, you know
00:49:39The risks are just too great to ignore
00:49:42There was clearly a change in the relationship
00:49:45And we were drifting apart
00:49:48I think she was rebelling against me
00:49:51And rebelling against the security
00:49:53And had decided, look, I'll make this stand now
00:49:55In the hope that at some point
00:49:57You know, it won't be possible for you to continue
00:49:59As the year 1993 went on
00:50:17I certainly felt that I'd entered a new chapter in her life
00:50:21As of that, there's no doubt
00:50:22The professional relationship was strained
00:50:28It wasn't as personal as it had been in the past
00:50:33I felt that she just wanted to do things on her own terms
00:50:37She was sort of planning this exit in the royal family
00:50:41And I was part of that exit strategy
00:50:44You know, the security had to go
00:50:46She said to me on one occasion
00:50:49My fame is my protection
00:50:51I'm so famous, I'm so well known
00:50:54No one would dare do anything
00:50:56And I said that, if I may
00:50:58Is an incredibly naive attitude
00:51:00That will be no protection for anyone ruthless enough
00:51:04Who wants to cause you harm
00:51:05The turning point for me came one day when she was driving
00:51:23And I was sat in the front passenger seat
00:51:26She was pretty frosty in that car
00:51:30It seemed as though she was sort of prone to want to pick some sort of
00:51:36Fight with me over something
00:51:38She said to me, oh, I need to do some shopping in Kensington High Street
00:51:43You can park the car
00:51:45And I said, I'm not parking here
00:51:47There are yellow lines here, we can't park that
00:51:48Well, you can deal with that, you're a police officer
00:51:51I said, ma'am, what's the matter with you?
00:51:54You know that I can't do that
00:51:56No, I want to do some shopping
00:51:58Okay, then we do it together
00:52:00And we park the car sensibly
00:52:02And she became rather agitated about it
00:52:04It was a slight, ugh
00:52:06As if it's okay, all right then
00:52:08At which point, Diana's door opened
00:52:11And she ran to Kensington High Street
00:52:17I thought, shall I run after her?
00:52:20And there was something in me to say, no, I'm not going to do that
00:52:23I'm going to give you this freedom, this freedom that you clearly want
00:52:27I had to sort of maintain my composure as best I could
00:52:32Although deep down I was feeling annoyed that this incident had happened
00:52:37For the last six, seven years
00:52:40There was always this sort of chemistry and this understanding
00:52:43Whereby we had the trust in each other to guarantee and ensure that her life was safe
00:52:50I felt now that this was not the case
00:52:53Luckily, I knew where she was going
00:52:56So I walked down to Tower Records
00:52:59I waited there for 10, 15 minutes
00:53:02And Diana eventually came out
00:53:05Afterwards, we drove to Kensington Palace
00:53:09We arrived at the front door
00:53:11And, um, she went inside
00:53:14I felt this wasn't really how security should be conducted
00:53:20With your charge effectively running away from the protector
00:53:24I went home that evening
00:53:25And thought, have I reached a point now?
00:53:28Well, I can no honestly guarantee her safety and security
00:53:37The following day, we carried on the day's duty
00:53:41And we arrived back at Kensington Palace in the sort of late afternoon
00:53:45And I remember saying to her, before you go, man, may I have a quick word with you?
00:53:49And she said, yes, of course
00:53:50I said, look, following on what happened yesterday
00:53:53I'm afraid this is not something that I'm prepared to accept
00:53:57Because that really, for me, actually puts your safety in jeopardy
00:54:01And for that reason, I should be leaving your service
00:54:09I think she was somewhat shocked, if I'm honest
00:54:12I honestly don't think that she expected me to say that
00:54:18I think she thought, well, we'll just carry on as we have done
00:54:21But I could see things getting worse
00:54:25And I wasn't prepared to run with that
00:54:27It was a difficult decision
00:54:31I felt sad because I enjoyed the work that I did with her
00:54:36But I felt it was the right decision
00:54:38If only to guarantee her security
00:54:41And I did not want to be part of a security team that failed her
00:54:44It came as a great shock to me when it all ended
00:54:48He was almost part of the family
00:54:53She let go, you know, one of the people who had probably been a safeguard in so many ways
00:55:02It was a really sort of sad and tragic moment in the story
00:55:08Ken Wolfe was more than just a bodyguard
00:55:11And he obviously cared about her desperately
00:55:14And the minute he left, she was in trouble's way
00:55:21The day after this, her private secretary spoke to me
00:55:24And said, Diana is asked to see you
00:55:27So I went back to see her at Kensington Palace
00:55:32I was shown into her private apartment
00:55:35And she stood up, greeting me with a shake of the hand
00:55:38She made reference to the time that we first met at Sandringham House
00:55:43The fun that we had with William and Harry
00:55:45And before I could say anything, she said, look, I just want to say thank you
00:55:51For all that you've done for me
00:55:54I know I've been difficult
00:55:56I know I've craved for privacy
00:55:58And you've done your best to do that
00:56:00You've been fun, we've had laughs
00:56:03I've been very lucky
00:56:05And she said, I hope that you've enjoyed working with me
00:56:07As I've enjoyed working with you
00:56:11I'm sorry what happened in Kensington High Street
00:56:15It was my fault
00:56:17I behaved badly
00:56:20And I'm thinking, well that took a bit of guts actually
00:56:23To at least admit that her behaviour was wrong
00:56:26And then she said something to me which was quite surprising
00:56:31If there's one piece of advice you could give me, what would it be?
00:56:37And I thought about it
00:56:39And I said, I've only got one piece of advice to give you
00:56:42You're probably the most famous woman in the world
00:56:46And because of that, I urge you, please do not sacrifice the one single thing that's actually kept you alive
00:56:56The security of Scotland Yard
00:56:57You need to maintain that security
00:57:03She said, I understand what you're saying, Ken
00:57:07And you're not wrong, but I can't make a decision at the moment
00:57:11I can't give you an answer
00:57:16Sadly, weeks later, Diana abandoned her security
00:57:19Which, to me, was a fatal cast
00:57:28It was very worrying because it changed everything
00:57:34Ken and his team kept the camera and the worst of the paparazzi at bay
00:57:39Now, they could do whatever they liked
00:57:42And they could do whatever they liked
00:58:00Over the next few months
00:58:01I will be seeking a more suitable way of combining a meaningful public role
00:58:08With, hopefully, a more private life
00:58:11I never thought that that abandonment of the security would have been so soon
00:58:16After I'd spoken to her
00:58:18I thought it was a fatal mistake
00:58:20Most overnight, Diana was without a protection officer
00:58:24Six months later, I was walking through the mews of Belgrave Square
00:58:30And suddenly, this black Audi came towards me
00:58:33And screamed to a halt
00:58:35And there was Diana
00:58:37And I said, hey, I said, what are you doing here?
00:58:40And she said, well, look behind me, Ken
00:58:42And there was five or six photographers
00:58:44It's driving me mad, Ken
00:58:47I said, yeah, I bet it is
00:58:48What can I do to help you?
00:58:50She said, can you just do your thing?
00:58:52Was the word
00:58:54And fend them off for me
00:58:56I said, leave it to me, I'll sort this out
00:58:58And I went to these photographers
00:59:00And they knew me
00:59:01And I said, look, this isn't on, is it, really?
00:59:04I said, here's a woman now that's completely unprotected
00:59:06Try and put yourself in her shoes
00:59:08And give it a break, yeah?
00:59:10And they acknowledged that and walked away
00:59:12And that, that's the last time I saw her
00:59:14We have reports from Paris that Diana, Princess of Wales, has been killed in a car accident
00:59:36In the early hours of the morning, my pager was vibrating on the floor
00:59:45I couldn't for the lightly think who would want to speak to me at this time of the morning
00:59:50And it asked me to call the head of Broughty Protection, New Scotland Yard
00:59:56But I had no phone in the house
00:59:58I was renovating this property
01:00:00So I walked to the public telephone box in the village
01:00:04In the village
01:00:05I grabbed the number
01:00:07And the boss answered
01:00:09And he said, I've got some sad news for you
01:00:12The Princess of Wales, Diana, has died in a car crash in Paris
01:00:17And I was completely stunned by this
01:00:19I was totally stunned
01:00:21I just couldn't believe it
01:00:23And I walked out of this phone box
01:00:26And I remember walking around this graveyard in this parish church that I was close by
01:00:31I couldn't honestly believe this had happened
01:00:37Since the accident in Paris, I've analysed many, many times
01:00:42The security failures that occurred that night
01:00:47Of which there were many
01:00:49Diana was at the behest of the security provided by Mohammed Al-Fai
01:00:54Dodi Fayyad decides, because of the press intrusion outside of the hotel
01:00:58And he wants to go to his apartment on the other side of Paris
01:01:02Henri Paul, the deputy head of security
01:01:07He was off duty, but was suddenly summoned by Dodi Fayyad
01:01:11A man with no protection experience whatsoever
01:01:14Why weren't the bodyguards organising this journey?
01:01:18They were the so-called experts in protection, not Henri Paul
01:01:22Dodi Fayyad and Henri Paul hatched a plan to escape from the hotel
01:01:27And send a decoy in the front of the hotel
01:01:30And send a decoy in the front of the hotel
01:01:33Here was a big mistake
01:01:35That this vehicle was prepared to leave from the rear of the hotel
01:01:38With no backup
01:01:40It's totally unacceptable
01:01:43The paparazzi, they want a photograph
01:01:46So why not give it to them?
01:01:48And make this departure, a proper departure from the front of the hotel
01:01:51The car left with Henri Paul's driving
01:01:55Rhys Jones in the front, Diana and Dodi in the rear of the vehicle
01:02:01Henri Paul was over the drink-drive limit
01:02:05What happens next, of course, at speeds of 65-70 miles an hour
01:02:12The vehicle collides with the 13th pillar in the armour tunnel
01:02:18Rhys Jones survives having suffered severe facial injuries
01:02:24Dodi fired, Henri Paul, Diana are killed in the accident
01:02:30There were significant security failings that contributed to her death
01:02:35I think if Ken Worth had been around it wouldn't have happened
01:02:40The failure of the protection team was very difficult for me to accept
01:02:47And there is some anger
01:02:50She tragically died, when really should not have done
01:02:53And had Philip Dorner, the original driver, have driven from the front of the hotel
01:02:59With a police escort
01:03:01And the paparazzi being given a photograph prior to that departure
01:03:05Diana would not have died that night
01:03:09In a sombre black procession, the royal family drove from Balmoral to pray in church
01:03:14The Queen Mother and Duke of York in the leading car
01:03:16Followed by Prince Charles, Princess William and Harry sitting either side of him
01:03:22And at Buckingham Palace, spontaneous acts of sorrow
01:03:26As all generations try to express themselves on this most solemn of Sundays
01:03:35The night before Diana's funeral, I was asked if I would like to share my respects
01:03:40By visiting her coffin that was in the chapel at St James's
01:03:43And there, almost high up to the altar, was Diana's coffin, covered by her standard
01:03:54And I was alone
01:03:56And it was a very emotive moment for me
01:04:02As I stood by her coffin
01:04:05I felt a great deal of sadness
01:04:08Desperately sad for her family, her children
01:04:11I thought about all the fun times we'd spent together
01:04:17The places that we visited
01:04:21And I couldn't help thinking that there was a chance that a new life could begin for her
01:04:27But it didn't
01:04:29It was certainly a surreal moment
01:04:32A moment I wish I'd never had to endure
01:04:34If only she had not abandoned the security
01:04:40Way back in 1993
01:04:43Um, I wouldn't be standing here
01:04:47Inside St James's Palace, Princess Diana's coffin
01:04:50Lay in the peace and privacy of the chapel royal
01:04:52As all day outside, the crowds of people waiting to pay their last respects built up
01:04:59All of them brought to St James's by a desire to show how much it affected their lives
01:05:05Nearly 30 years on
01:05:09Nearly 30 years on
01:05:11What do I feel?
01:05:13I feel
01:05:15Let me think about this
01:05:20I felt that I did the best I could for her
01:05:23I'm sure there were times when I did get things wrong
01:05:37That's all part of human life
01:05:39But like relationships
01:05:41There's no guarantee that it lasts forever
01:05:44And this didn't last forever
01:05:47Through failures, I think, on both parts
01:05:50Not all mine, not all hers
01:05:51We came to a point where the chemistry had worn thin
01:05:56And that, to me, was really, really sad
01:06:03I still think about Diana
01:06:06It was a period of my life
01:06:09That was unique
01:06:13I enjoyed extraordinary times with her
01:06:17And I can't stop thinking about those times
01:06:22She was a princess and I was the bodyguard
01:06:27But more importantly
01:06:29I saw her more as a friend rather than a member of the British royal family
