Former Palace Press Secretary Recalls Princess Diana Frantically Calling Him at 5 a.m. the Day Andrew Morton’s Bombshell Biography About Her Came Out, Seemingly Questioning Her Decision to Participate In the Project

Princess Diana.

When it comes to legendary former employees of the Royal Household, Dickie Arbiter—a former press secretary at the Palace—comes immediately to mind. Arbiter worked for the royal family for 12 years, until 2000, and in that time saw the disintegration of the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and their separation in 1992, their divorce ultimately being finalized in 1996, and Diana’s death in a Parisian car accident in 1997. 

Diana apparently initially regretted her participation in Morton's bombshell "Diana: Her True Story," released in 1992 to much fanfare. (Image credit: Getty Images)
