Diana died due to Henry Paul's fault

The only survivor of the Princess Diana crash, blamed driver Henri Paul for her death. Today, Trevor Rees, the former bodyguard told in a TV show: "The accident happened because Henri Paul was taking alcohol and was driving the vehicle. That's why the accident happened."

Mr Rees's comments come days after the start of the inquest into the deaths of Diana and Dodi Fayed, who were killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997 along with Mr Paul. He is expected to give evidence to the inquest at the High Court.


The coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, has said Mr Rees-Jones has little memory of what happened in the Mercedes driven by Mr Paul and events immediately before the crash. But he has potentially crucial evidence of the final hour leading up to Diana and Dodi leaving the Ritz hotel, in Paris, in the bungled security operation. Link
