According to an exclusive from The Mirror, the retired servant had returned to the palace to visit old colleagues and assist with tidying up a storage room. While dusting off one of Diana’s antique wooden trunks, he noticed an unusual sound when shifting its bottom. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a concealed compartment — inside was a deep blue leather-bound notebook, bearing the handwritten label: “D — Private.”
What lay inside, in Diana’s distinct slanted handwriting, was chilling. She detailed her growing suspicions about Prince Charles’s affair with Camilla Parker Bowles while both were still married to other people. “I knew they never stopped — not even when I was pregnant with William. The late-night calls. The ‘business trips’ that always lined up. And the look in his eyes when he said her name.”
The diary also revealed that Diana had considered leaving the royal family far earlier than she eventually did. “I’m just the shadow. And she’s the flame he’s always kept in his breast pocket,” one heartbreaking entry reads. Another passage recounts a private confrontation between Diana and Camilla at an exclusive party, writing, “No one in the royal family defended me.”
Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the authenticity of the diary, but several royal historians claim the handwriting and paper match previously verified documents belonging to Diana. If confirmed, this would be one of the rare firsthand accounts — penned by Diana herself — of betrayal within the royal walls, and the deep isolation of the “People’s Princess.”
The looming question now: will the royal family allow this truth to see the light of day? Or will the diary be buried once more — this time under the silence of an entire empire?
