Princess Diana's former astrologer Russell Grant believes she was murdered and claims to have predicted her death three weeks before it happened.
Princess Diana's former astrologer believes she was murdered.
The princess died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 along with boyfriend Dodi Fayed but Russell Grant - who Diana used to consult for her horoscope - believes more sinister forces had a hand in her passing, though he doesn't know who.
Asked in an interview whether he was Diana's confidant, he said: "Yes, and I loved it. She was a wonderful, fabulous, glorious person... A pity she was murdered.
"Who knows [who murdered her]. I think there are questions still to be answered, but don't ask me. I sought closure on that, and I've got it."
Russell, 60, even claims he predicted Diana's death three weeks before it happened and warned the princess to end her relationship with Dodi.
He told Radio Times magazine: "If you look back on August 10, 1997, I basically said their relationship was so fated it was going to end in tears. And she died August 31.
"Oh yes, I warned her. I said, 'Don't go there love. Just don't go anywhere with him. You've got to knock this on the head.' It was star-crossed lovers. It was bad."
An inquest in Paris previously ruled that Diana and Dodi were unlawfully killed in the crash as a result of the gross negligence of their driver Henri Paul - who also died in the crash - and following vehicles.
The jury specified that the chauffer's drink-driving and the couple's failure to wear seat belts contributed to their deaths.
