Princess Diana's former driver Steve Davies made headlines with a bombshell confession years later. Davies suggested that if he had not been fired due to allegations of a conspiracy against Diana, the Princess might still be alive. HE WAS FIREDNow 61 years old, Davies was fired in 1996 after BBC reporter Martin Bashir provided false information to Diana, claiming that Davies and other staff were leaking information about her. "THERE ARE THREE OF US IN THIS MARRIAGE"Bashir did not share these allegations with the public at the time; however, he used them to convince Princess Diana to give that infamous interview that caused a stir. In this interview, Diana openly discussed the difficulties in her marriage, her husband's relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, and the loss of trust stemming from that relationship. Diana made a significant impact on the public with her famous line, "There are three of us in this marriage." This interview also served as a platform where Diana openly expressed her psychological struggles, her battle with bulimia, and her tendencies to self-harm for the first time. "IF I HAD TAKEN HER, SHE WOULD BE ALIVE"Davies was a personal driver for Princess Diana for eight years, and her tragic death in a car accident in Paris in August 1997 deeply affected him. In an interview with the Daily Mail, he expressed his regret, saying, "If I had driven her that night in Paris, she would probably still be alive." He stated that he was always there to ensure Diana's safety, felt a great commitment to his duty, and would maintain that commitment for the rest of his life, saying, "I would even take a bullet for Diana." "I SUFFERED A LOT"Years later, Davies indicated that he understood the truths behind losing his job with the airing of "The Crown" series. He only received compensation from the BBC in May of this year. He mentioned that it took decades to learn the truths behind these events, expressing that he experienced great shame and pain during this process. HE WAS FOUND INNOCENTThe interview Princess Diana gave to Bashir contained candid revelations about her troubled marriage to Prince Charles and had an international impact. However, it was revealed that Bashir attempted to secure the interview by presenting false documents to Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, claiming that Davies had committed security breaches. Although the BBC found Bashir innocent after its internal investigation, an independent inquiry conducted in 2020 revealed that the reporter had resorted to manipulative methods using fake documents. This incident was also addressed in an episode of "The Crown," bringing the conspiracy that played a role in Davies's dismissal back into the spotlight. THE CHILDREN CRITICIZED THE BBCFollowing these developments, Prince William and Prince Harry harshly criticized the manipulations directed at their mother and the BBC's stance. The BBC issued an apology message, promising never to air the interview again. Davies stated that he believed Princess Diana had betrayed him, but he felt deep regret for not being able to rectify this situation before her tragic death. CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE STILL ON THE AGENDADavies's statements shed new light on the turmoil surrounding the Royal Family in the 90s. The atmosphere of distrust surrounding Princess Diana, the psychological pressures affecting her, and the conspiracies behind her tragic end continue to remain relevant even years later.
