Princess Diana’s former bodyguard, Ken Wharfe, says three critical mistakes led to her tragic death in 1997. Wharfe, who worked closely with Diana from 1987 to 1993, remembers her as a down-to-earth mother with a great sense of humor.

Wharfe highlights the key errors that sealed Diana’s fate:

1. Dangerous Driver: Henri Paul, who was drunk, was driving the car at high speed. Wharfe believes Diana could have survived if her bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, had been driving instead.
2. Failed Security Coordination: To avoid paparazzi, Diana and Dodi used decoy cars and did not coordinate with local police, leading to a deadly high-speed chase.
3. Dismissal of Official Security: After separating from Prince Charles, Diana ended her Scotland Yard protection. Wharfe warned her against this, but she wanted a new life and dismissed the team, leaving her vulnerable.

Wharfe insists that these three mistakes contributed directly to the fatal crash that killed Diana, Dodi Fayed, and Henri Paul.
