Paparazzo Claims Spies Targeted Him Over Princess Diana Death Photos
Darryn Lyons, known as 'Mr. Paparazzi' during his time running Big Pictures in the 1990s, has come forward with alarming claims regarding the aftermath of Princess Diana's tragic death. He asserts that spies targeted him and his office in an effort to eliminate evidence related to her passing. After capturing graphic images of the scene shortly after the accident on August 31, 1997, Lyons felt compelled to turn over the photos to police, believing they should not be made public.
In a chilling account, Lyons described a night shortly after Diana's death when he sensed danger in his office. He recalled hearing a ticking sound and spotting a shadowy figure, leading him to fear for his life. "I thought to myself, ‘Is there a bomb in here?'" he said. He also reported unusual activity on his phone lines, suggesting he was under surveillance. Lyons expressed a strong belief that an intelligence operation was underway to retrieve the images he possessed, stating, "We began to receive death threats at our office. Every day, nonstop."
Adding to the intrigue, Lee Sansum, one of Diana's bodyguards, reported feeling watched upon returning to Britain after the crash. Sansum, who passed away last year, mentioned seeing suspicious figures and speculated about the extent of surveillance on him and his colleagues.
As the anniversary of Diana's death approaches, conspiracy theories continue to swirl. Some theorists allege that various parties, including the royal family and international arms dealers, had motives to harm her. Notably, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Dodi's father, invested millions in investigating these theories, convinced that the royal family played a role in the events leading to Diana's death.
Diana herself had expressed fears of an impending accident in a letter written in October 1996, stating she believed her husband was plotting to orchestrate a car crash to clear the way for his future. The complexities surrounding her death remain a topic of intense speculation and debate, with many still seeking answers.
