SHOCKING: “At 60, Princess Diana’s Sister Breaks Down In Tears And Finally Confirms The Rumors, She was in..Read more…

The former Princess of Wales passed away at the age of 36 on August 31, 1997, due to a fatal car crash in Paris.

Now, Steve Davies has opened up about BBC reporter Martin Bashir’s role in what happened.

Princess Diana’s former chauffeur says she wouldn’t have died on that fateful night if he’d been the one behind the wheel

Davies had been a royal chauffeur for eight years and had served as Princess Diana’s personal driver for half of that time. So, he was quite surprised when he was asked to leave his position in March 1996, without explanation.

But after years of wondering where he went wrong, Netflix’s The Crown finally allowed him to put the pieces together.

In a meeting in September 1995, Bashir allegedly lied to both Diana and her brother, Earl Spencer, in an attempt to win the princess’s trust and make her feel insecure, claiming that Davies had leaked information about her to the press.

“I was forced out of a job I wanted to be my life’s work,” Davies told The Mail on Sunday. “Royal service is about being trusted and loyal, showing discretion, having a sense of duty. Your reputation, your good name is everything.

“Martin Bashir robbed me of mine by making those allegations to Diana.”

He added, “I’m not the kind of man who wastes time and energy being bitter or angry, but she died believing I had betrayed her and that’s something I can’t ever forget or forgive.”

All I know is that if life had taken a different trajectory, if I’d been driving her that night in Paris, she would still be here today… because I would’ve kept her safe,” he said.

In May of this year, Davies received compensation for Bashir’s false allegations, but he still wasn’t satisfied.

“In essence, he told her I was a traitor, when all along the treachery was his,” he said.
