He revealed that when he was 23, he visited the French capital to participate in the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup in 2007, and asked his chauffeur to take him through the “Pont de l’Alma” tunnel at the same speed as the car carrying his mother when it crashed in August 1997.
“There’s no reason anyone could have died inside the tunnel,” said Harry, adding that driving was “a terrible idea”. On page 188 of his diary, he said, “I told myself I was just doing this to close this chapter, but that wasn’t true.”
He continued: “Basically, what I was hoping to hear in that tunnel was what I felt when the former press secretary of the building handed me the police reports, mistrust. Doubt. However, that was the night in which all doubts were dispelled. I thought she was dead.” Oh my god, I’m really gone for good. “
The next day, he called his brother, Prince William, to tell him what had happened, and they agreed to walk through the tunnel together before heading to the rugby final.
He wrote: “The final report was an insult. A load of nonsense filled with factual errors, where the reasoning was conspicuous in its absence, especially the brief conclusion, that our mother’s chauffeur was drunk and, consequently , this was the only cause of the accident».
He added, “Even if the man was drinking, even if he was drunk, he would have no problem driving through this short tunnel. Unless the paparazzi followed him and wowed him. Why did those paparazzi fall over so easily?” (Russia today)
