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:

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.

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.

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.
