He added that Diana was miserable at the time. "It was explosive. One particular part of the tapes from 1991 which still gets the hairs standing up on the back of my neck was when she said she wanted to go to Paris for a weekend to walk along the pavement and not have anyone follow or recognize her," he added.

Former royal protection officer Ken Wharfe, who was part of Diana's security team for six years, revealed how Diana finally learned about the affair at a party. Diana said to him "you've got to come with me, I can't find my husband or Camilla," Wharfe explained. "Now, I couldn't say no, clearly this woman was in some distress, and eventually we found the prince and Camilla sat on a sofa in the basement of this property just talking." He continued:  "I didn't know quite what Diana was going to do at that point but with a great deal of confidence, Diana just went up to both of them and said to Camilla 'please don't treat me like an idiot, I know what's going on.' And Camilla sort of said something, to which still to this day I have never really understood what she meant by that is 'well you know, you have two wonderful boys.'"
