After the crash Mohammed al Faye’s wrote to the authorities complaining that the sole survivor, Trevor Rees Davies, was covering up a security operation. You can tell quite a lot about his attitude to his hard working employees here (Trevor had also been providing security for Dodi and Diana in the preceding week when they were on the al Fayed yacht. Despite repeatedly asking for more manpower, just two of them were expected to cover the pair 24/7).
“My former bodyguards, Trevor Rees-Jones, Kes Wingfield and Ben Murrell. It is a fact that these men were turned against me by the security services. They were worried that Trevor Rees-Jones may begin to tell the truth.
The fact is that Trevor Rees-Jones did not lose his memory. He knows exactly what happened between Rue Cambon and the Alma Tunnel. He knows the detail which the security services are so eager to suppress, including why Henri Paul took the route via the Alma Tunnel, the motorcycle which blocked their exit, the flashlight which blinded the driver – the list is endless.
Trevor Rees-Jones book, ‘The Bodyguard’s Story’ is clear evidence of how he, Wingfield and Ben Murrell were turned against me. The book, which was not
written by him but by the security services, is a tissue of lies and deceit designed to denigrate me and to support the British authorities account that the deaths of my son and Princess Diana were the result of a simple traffic accident.
Rees-Jones was appointed as Head of United Nations security in East Timor. The only explanation is that it was an inducement to ensure his continued silence.’
