Diana once stated he was
“the greatest friend [she’s] ever had” – but denied any sexual relationship with him.
She believes he was killed off by ‘the establishment’…
Diana’s tapes were found in 2001, 4 years after her death; although her side of the story was now known to the public, a lot of people still had their own side to tell.

One person being Diana’s ex-lover, James Hewitt – who claimed the Princess had admitted to him that Mannakee had shared her bed and even gifted her a brown teddy which she kept in her bedroom.
The pair were reportedly having an affair…
Conspiracy theorists believe Mannakee’s ‘close relationship’ with the Princess was the reason he was ‘bumped off’.

However, Diana always claimed the allegations were untrue; spread by Prince Charles’ ‘camp’ as a smear campaign.
He was a married police officer with two children himself…
No one will truly ever know. What we do know is that Mannakee, who was 15 years her senior, was not only her protector but her close friend, a good listener and someone she even saw as a father figure.
