Extract from James Hewitt book

"I said it was a bit of a personal present to get from a bodyguard. She replied very simply: 'He was my lover'. When Charles had resumed his affair with Camilla, Diana had turned to Barry. She said other members of the Royal Family had had affairs with their bodyguards and Barry had been her friend when she felt friendless. She also said that she loved him and that they took him away. He was moved to other duties so she no longer saw him. Several months passed and one day she and Charles were in an official car on their way to the airport when he said in a matter-of-fact way: 'Oh, I don't know if you've heard, but Sergeant Mannakee is dead'. Diana, now in tears herself, said that she just collapsed and Charles did nothing to comfort her.
"She held on to me. 'They killed him. I'm certain they killed him'.
"I asked her who "they" were but she was too distressed to give a coherent answer. 'MI5, people in the Palace, somebody who wanted him out of the way'.
"I had read about Sergeant Mannakee's death. It was as a passenger in a motorcycle accident - not an easy murder to stage, although not an impossible one".
