READ MORE: Your handy guide to the British royal family line of succession Princess Diana with Camilla Parker-Bowles. That book is the closest we will ever get to having an autobiography by Diana, even though friends later said she regretted giving away so much of her personal information. The affairĬharles' affair with Camilla was common knowledge, thanks to the publication of Diana: Her True Story by Andrew Morton in 1992. We can only imagine how mortified they must have been when they discovered their steamy chat was splashed across the tabloids for everyone to read (and cringe). Mostly, it revealed that they were "very into each other".Ĭharles and Camilla, who is now Queen Consort, began their romantic relationship in the 1970s before carrying on with their affair into the 80s and 90s. And it would have been part and parcel of the inquiry to get to the bottom of it.As the then-Prince Charles' marriage to Princess Diana was practically over, the Daily Mirror published the transcript of a racy phone conversation secretly recorded between Charles and his then-woman-on-the-side Camilla, which shed light on their relationship. “If we’d known at the time of Paget we would certainly, certainly have gone and seen him and interviewed him. But this has only come out recently, which is unfortunate. “If there’d been an allegation then that Bashir had produced allegedly fake documents to Princess Diana, which is a criminal offence, we’d have investigated it,” he said. Stevens expressed regret that he and his officers had not interviewed Bashir. The note was written around the time that Diana gave her Panorama interview with Martin Bashir.Īn inquiry conducted by the former supreme court judge John Dyson found last month that Bashir had engaged in “deceitful behaviour” by commissioning fake bank statements to secure the interview. Stevens said his team had found no other evidence during his investigation, codenamed Operation Paget, to support the scenario suggested in Diana’s note. The jury returned a narrative verdict in 2008 of unlawful killing as result of “grossly negligent driving of the following vehicles and of the Mercedes” in which they were travelling. The uncensored version of the note was not made public until 2007 in evidence heard at the inquest into the deaths of Diana and Dodi Fayed. The Prince of Wales was not interviewed as a suspect. Stevens also asked: “Do you know why the princess had these feelings, sir?” and Charles replied: “No, I don’t.” Stevens asked: “You didn’t discuss this note with her, sir?” to which Charles responded: “No, I did not know it existed.”
The Daily Mail reported that Lord Stevens read the note to Charles at a meeting at St James’s Palace in London, and then asked him: “Why do you think the princess wrote this note, sir?”Ĭharles replied: “I did not know anything about until it was published in the media.” The Mirror had published part of the note following a deal with Burrell in 2003. “Camilla is nothing but a decoy so we are being used by the man in every sense of the word.” Brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry Tiggy. My husband is planning an accident in my car.
“This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous. The note, which was handed to her butler, Paul Burrell, read: “I am sitting here at my desk today in October, longing for someone to hug me and encourage me to keep strong and hold my head high. He was questioned about a note that his former wife had written in 1995 predicting that she would die through “brake failure and serious head injury” in order for Charles to marry his sons’ former nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke.įalse rumours were circulating at the time that the prince and Legge-Bourke were having an affair.
