The information was reported by Ok Magazine, which notes that Dai Davies, who became Diana’s bodyguard in 1995, is now spilling more details about his late charge’s personal life.
Princess Diana Is Said To Have Had “At Least” 20 Lovers
Dai Davies, who was the Commander in Charge of Royal Protection right after Diana and Charles split, is suggesting that Princess Diana was much different than she appeared in public.
Davies claims that Diana had “a number of lovers,” at least 20, after her breakup from Charles. Further, Davies alleged that she enjoyed being pursued in romantic ways, including by and “often married men.”
Davies also says Diana believed that one of her lovers was intentionally harmed (he passed away in 1986) because of his connection to her. The official determination was that the car that hit and killed Barry Mannakee did so by accident.
There were also rumors that Diana planned to move to the US, without her sons, in a bid to protect her children. She especially disliked the paparazzi, sources say, and thought that she could find respite in the US because the people there loved her.
The Bodyguard Named Princess Diana’s Past Lovers
OK! lists supposed past lovers of Diana’s, including Hasnat Khan (a surgeon), Teddy Forstmann (a billionaire), and actor Kevin Costner. While Davies stated that Kevin and Diana were “linked,” he suggests that the actor wanted Diana to appear in a film, something he believed she would never do.
Davies also discussed Princess Diana’s final relationship, with Dodi Fayed, a rich film producer (his father was a billionaire). Fayed died in the same car crash as Diana, bringing the love story that fans saw as a fairytale to an end.
While rumors about Princess Diana’s relationships have always abounded, the new revelation from her bodyguard suggests there is more to her public personality than fans ever knew.
Yet her legacy continues to live on, with Prince Harry and the rest of the family commemorating what would have been her 61st birthday in 2022.
