Her bodyguard failed to protect her. Even if he didn’t notice the driver was drunk, he should have instructed him to drive slower and safer and put a gun to his bleepin’ head if he didn’t obey orders immediately.
We’ve not heard of other drivers going nuts with any royal in the vehicle. I’ve suspected it was Dodi who egged the driver on to speed.
“Her bodyguard failed to protect her.”
Ultimately, SHE failed to protect herself. Had she worn a seat belt, she’d almost certainly have survived. Had she screamed, “Slow down you idiot!”, she’d almost certainly be alive.
Please also note:
“Diana had declined the Queen’s offer to have round-the-clock police protection...”
Yet another bad decision she made.
