Identified only as Steve, Princess Diana’s former driver said she would still be alive if he had not been fired.
According to the LAD Bible website, Princess Diana’s former driver, identified only as Steve, claimed she would still be alive if he had been driving the night of the accident that resulted in Lady Diana’s death on August 31, 1997.
More than 27 years after the death of the Princess of Wales, the former driver broke his silence to talk about his dismissal after eight years of service to the royal family.
According to LAD Bible, Steve said, “If life had taken a different turn, if I had been driving that night in Paris, she would still be here today because I would have kept her safe.”
The former driver, who was also a former army member, decided to speak out on the matter after watching the Netflix series “The Crown.”
Steve says that journalist Martin Bashir spread lies about him in an attempt to gain Diana’s trust. Bashir allegedly claimed that the driver had leaked information about the Princess to the press.
In May 2024, Steve was compensated for Bashir’s rumors. “Essentially, he told her I was a traitor, when, all along, the traitor was him,” Steve said.
Princess Diana died from injuries sustained in a car crash in Paris in August 1997, after being pursued by nine cars full of journalists.
