Trevor Rees-Jones, Princess Diana’s bodyguard, was the only survivor of the fatal accident that killed Lady Di, her boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed and the driver of the car, Henri Paul.
His life changed radically that August 31, 1997 when the vehicle in which they were traveling crashed into pillar 13 of the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
He was the only one who survived the wreckage of iron that Princess Diana‘s car became. Twenty-five years have passed since that night, and this is how he is today.
