A letter Princess Diana wwrote years before her fa-t-al car ac=c-ident may have revealed how the royal tragically ‘predicted her own d-ea:t:h’.
In 1997 when Princess Diana was 36, she was travelling through a tunnel in Paris when the car she was in tragically c:ras:hed.
When the incident occurred. the ‘People’s Princess’ had been enjoying her evening in the French capital with her rumoured boyfriend Dodi Fayed.
Diana and Dodi had been travelling through the Pont de l’Alma underpass when, the driver lost control of the vehicle, according to reports.
The car crashed inside the tunnel, and Diana sadly passed away in the Pitié Salpêtrière hospital later that night.
Following Diana passed, a chilling letter written by the royal years before was unearthed and published in the press.
In the letter, revealed by her former butler Paul Burrell and published in the Mirror, Diana allegedly said that an unnamed person – referred to as ‘X’ in the note – was ‘planning an a-cc-ide-nt’.
“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,” she wrote.
“This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous – X is planning ‘an ac/c/iden/t’ in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry.
“I have been batt3red, bruised and abu:s-ed mentally by a system for 15 years now, but I feel no resentment… I am strong inside and maybe that is a problem for my enemies.
“Thank you Charles for putting me through such hell and for giving me the opportunity to learn from the cruel things you have done to me.”
In 2017, on the 20th anniversary of her de:at:h, French firefighter Xavier Gourmelon spoke to Good Morning Britain about what the princess said to him on the night of the accident.
According to Gourmelon, upon attending the scene, rescuers were not initially aware that Princess Diana had been among the victims.
When she regained consciousness in the back of the car while she was talking to him, she allegedly asked him: “Oh my god, what’s happened?”
The Princess then became temporarily agitated before losing consciousness again, according to Gourmelon.
“I tried to calm her down and tell her we’d look after her, and she fell into a coma again,” he said.
However, it was during her removal from the car that Xavier says her health rapidly deteriorated.
“At that moment, the doctor said she was in cardiac arrest. So, we gave her CPR and after 20 seconds, she regained consciousness, and we transferred her to the ambulance.”
In 2008, it was ruled that Diana di3d unlawfully because of ‘grossly negligent driving of the following vehicles [the paparazzi] and of the Mercedes driver, Henri Paul’.
