... remember vividly envying Diana's lifestyle towards the end of her life when she varied between holidaying in the South of France, Sardinia, Greece and Paris, but reading this book changed my view somewhat as it sounded limiting and claustrophobic. Diana and Dodi could not, for example, leave the yacht to go ashore in Monaco without the paparazzi following them and every excursion involved going in groups of at least ten people which m...more

Many will not agree with me, but I have to admit to being one of the "It's a conspiracy" believers. Trevor Rees-Jones book 'The Bodyguard's Story' has done nothing to dissuade me of this opinion. Trevor was, as I'm sure most people are aware, the bodyguard responsible for the care of Dodi Al Fayed and ultimately, Diana, The Princess of Wales, during their last weeks together.

I wanted to read this book as I was out of the country when Diana was killed and when we got back everything was all over and I just felt so detached from everything. The only relationship I had with Diana was that of most people's experience ie through newspapers and TV. It did not diminish, however that although i did not worship at the altar of Diana, I admired her and as she was younger than me would always be on the periphery of my life , as some one who has come through the pop or film ranks to be an institution. So it was with great sadness that I came back to England knowing that that bright star had been extinguished. When i was given Trevor Rees ... Read the complete review
