Los guardias de corps para la princesa Diana y su amante que Dodi empalmó tenían llamadas para la seguridad adicional rechazada durante su viaje profético a París, la investigación en sus muertes han oído.

Trevor Rees, que era uno de dos guardias de corps asignó a los pares, dijo él creyó que Dodi y Diana deben haber tenido cuatro protectores de seguridad el proteger de ellos contra los hordes de fotógrafos y de onlookers en los días antes de que su desplome fatal del coche en el capital francés.

Las fotografías de los pares habían sido salpicadas a través de los periódicos alrededor del globo mientras que holidayed a bordo del yate de Dodi en el último agosto de 1997.

By the time they arrived for a one-night stopover in Paris on August 30, dozens of photographers were waiting to track their every move.

In the early hours of the next day, Diana, Dodi and their driver Henri Paul were killed after their Mercedes crashed in an underground tunnel after apparently being pursued by photographers. Mr Rees was the only survivor.

Making his second appearance at the inquest, Mr Rees told how he and his fellow bodyguard Kes Wingfield repeatedly contacted top security chiefs for Dodi’s father, Harrods billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed, in London pleading for extra help during the couple’s holiday but none ever showed up.

“At that stage, it (the relationship between Diana and Dodi) was in the open, in the media, and the attention both from the paparazzi and general public would have been a lot higher,” he said.

“I would have expected, or I would have thought, it would have been good to have a four-man team, the same as would have been with Mr (Al) Fayed.

“We didn’t get any extra security. I believe at one stage we got an extra crew member to help the crew on the yacht, but we didn’t get any extra security.”

Mr Rees suffered extensive injuries in the crash which claimed the lives of the princess, Dodi and their driver.

He has rejected recent media reports suggesting his memories about the crash were gradually returning.

The inquest continues.
