The 37-year-old married police officer was transferred from his role as the bodyguard for Princess Diana, following what was described as an “inappropriate” relationship.

“I was only happy when he was around,” she said in a video obtained by NBC.

Rumours began circulating in both the palace and the police circles, that Sargeant Barry Mannakee had become ‘too close’ to the Princess and that a senior member of Charles’ staff had found them in a ‘compromising position’ the evening before the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
The paparazzi hounded her everywhere she went…
