In a conversation with the Daily Mail, John Stevens, who once led Scotland Yard, revealed that Prince Charles, now King Charles III, was interviewed by UK police in 2005 regarding accusations that he had conspired to murder Princess Diana.
The investigation, known as Operation Paget, spanned three years and focused on Princess Diana’s tragic car accident in 1997. During this probe, a note written by Diana in 1995 was discovered. It stated, “My husband is planning ‘an accident’ in my car, brake failure and serious head injury,” suggesting this was intended to allow King Charles to marry Tiggy Legge-Bourke, the nanny of Prince William and Prince Harry.
Stevens remarked, “Allegations were made about the Prince of Wales and other royals, but we had to scrutinize the [existing] evidence before formally questioning him.” He continued, “We found no additional evidence to back the scenario outlined in Diana’s note.”
He further explained that the note alone wasn’t adequate to classify Charles as a suspect. If Charles chose to contribute to Operation Paget, it would be as a voluntary witness, not under caution.
Upon being questioned about the note, King Charles reportedly said, “I did not know anything about [the note] until it was published in the media.”
He expressed surprise at the note’s existence and was unaware of his ex-wife’s “feelings.”
Stevens concluded, “Ultimately, he was extremely cooperative because he had nothing to hide,” he told the publication.
