According to a report to be published this week the American secret service was recording Princess Diana's phone calls without the approval of British security services.
Among extraordinary details due to emerge in the report by former Metropolitan police commissioner Lord Stevens is the revelation that the US security service was bugging her calls in the hours before she was killed in a car crash in Paris.
In a move that raises fresh questions over transatlantic agreements on intelligence-sharing, the surveillance arm of the US has admitted listening to her conversations as she stayed at the Ritz hotel, but failed to notify MI6. Stevens is understood to have been assured that the 39 classified documents detailing Diana's final conversations did not reveal anything sinister or contain material that might help explain her death.
Why would the secret service be listening into Diana's phone conversations and I'm wondering if the American media will pick this up?
I guess I shouldn't be too suprised, they
listen to regular Americans conversations, too.
