## Resource

He stood closer to Princess Diana than almost anyone and in this explosive episode of Suddenly Single, Diana’s former personal protection officer reveals what life was really like behind palace doors during the collapse of her marriage to Prince Charles. From the night Diana confronted Camilla at Annabel’s to the emotional strain she carried in private, Ken shares the moments the world never saw. He also delivers a blunt verdict on Andrew, Mountbatten-Windsor, calling him one of the most arrogant men he has ever met, and explains why the Epstein crisis remains 'excruciatingly toxic' for the Royal Family. Ken reflects on Diana’s heartbreak, her loyalty to the Queen, the Palace’s handling of her popularity, and whether different decisions might have changed the course of history. He also shares his thoughts on Prince Harry’s departure to America and the ongoing battle over security. For six years, he didn’t just guard Diana - he witnessed her pain, her strength and her heartbreaking search for love. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
