Princess Diana's Former Chauffeur Reflects on Her Death for the First Time After Being Fired

Princess Diana wears a baby blue jacket and waves from a green car being driven by her former chauffeur, Steve Davies.

Princess Diana's sudden death in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, shocked the world. For the first time ever, Diana's former chauffeur has given an interview and discussed his impromptu firing prior to her death.

Steve Davies worked as Princess Diana's personal driver until he was made redundant in 1996. He would later discover that Diana's candid interview with Martin Bashir on the BBC's Newsnight led to his firing. As a result, he wasn't Diana's chauffeur when she tragically died in 1997.
