In his memoirs, which were published under the title “Protecting Diana.. The Story of a Bodyguard”. Protecting Diana: A Bodyguard’s StoryLee Sansom tells how the princess was about to tell paparazzi of her plans to move to America in an effort to protect William and Harry from the press while they were on vacation with her lover Dodi Fayed in Saint-Tropez in July 1997.
The family was staying aboard businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed’s luxury yacht while photographers patrolled the boat daily, according to Sansom, who said, “The press was the curse of her life everywhere, not just in St Tropez.”
“There is nothing I can do in the UK,” Sansom wrote. “The papers are there attacking me no matter what I do. I want to go to the United States and live there so I can get away from it all. At least in America, they love me and they will leave me.” .
At the time, Sansom said he remembered asking Diana if her two sons would join her, and she made it clear she would never be allowed to take them from their royal duties. .
As Sansom wrote in his memoirs, “You could tell that Diana was a wonderful mother, very loving and caring for her two boys, but it looked as if she might have to leave them in the UK to escape the press, who pursued her relentlessly every day of her life… It was also to free them of all the attention they received when she was with them.”
Finally, a few days into the holiday, Sansom wrote, Diana announced that she was leaving to tell the press that she was leaving the UK for good. “The place was full, desperately trying to take pictures of the princess who was about to leave everything behind to escape to America.. and the princess had already gone.” To speak to the press that day, but she didn’t say anything about a possible move to the United States.”
The Guardian added that despite complaints from the press, Diana was known to collaborate with favorite reporters and photographers, and would often let them know her whereabouts if she wanted to be photographed.
