Princess Diana's murder plot has come to light because of a chance encounter between the elite regiment's former sniper, known as Soldier N, and Prince William in 2008, it has been revealed.

According to the Mirror, Soldier N gave the Duke of Cambridge an SAS advanced driving course and on the same day he divulged the details of the elite regiment's link in Diana's Paris car accident to his wife.

During an interrogation with Scotland Yard, the soldier's former wife claimed that she was shocked, when her hubby disclosed to her that 'one of the guys' from the unit was responsible for the accident.

 

The woman alleged that Soldier N had told her that the 1997 Paris car crash, which killed the Princess, her beau Dodi Fayed and their driver Henri Paul, had to happen in a tunnel, where a bright light was shone in the driver's eyes, 'to guarantee death.'

During the questioning process, the wife insisted that she completely believes her former husband's claims and was sworn to secrecy by him.

She also told interrogators that Soldier N had claimed that the "hit" had been carried out on the orders of individuals within the royal inner circle as Diana's relationship with Fayed wasn't approved by them.
