| Summary |
Twenty-five years ago, it was only by chance that Royal bodyguard Lee Sansum was not in Princess Diana's car the night of her fatal accident. But it still proved a turning point in his life. In Protecting Diana, Sansum opens up about his assignment protecting Mohamed and Dodi al-Fayeed; his guarding and befriending Diana, the most famous woman in the world; and bonding with the young princes, Harry and William. Looking back on that fateful night and the weeks prior, Sansum offers an untold, intimate portrait of the people's princess and her sons. After Diana's death, Sansum's assignments included guarding Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Pelé, and Sylvester Stallone. He joined the Royal Military Police, and later entered the world of private security, operating in hotspots such as Libya and Somaliland. Sansum's story is one of quiet strength, reading and reacting to dangerous situations, and overcoming trauma. And it honors one of the most outstanding figures of our age. |
