offered no new revelations. He gave no description at all, of what
happened that night in the Paris tunnel-when the Mercedes slammed into a
wall, killing Princess Diana, Dodi fayed and driver Henri Paul.
Rees-Jones barely survived the crash, and in his first interview,
looking stiff and uncomfortable and suffering from a bad cold , the
bodyguard simply asked to be left alone.
TREVOR REES-JONES: I'D LIKE EVERYONE TO APPRECIATE THIS AUGUST WILL BE A DIFFICULT TIME FOR
MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND FOR AL THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN
THIS TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I'D LIKE EVERYONE AND THE PRESS TO APPRECIATE THAT
AND LET US MARK THAT TRAGIC ANNIVERSARY IN OUR OWN WAY.
Rees-Jones stressed that he hadn't been paid for this interview--but he
had been hounded by the media, with offers of cash. rees-Jones said the
only people he'll speak to right now are the French police.
TREVOR REES-JONES
I'VE COOPERATED FULLY WITH THE JUDGE WHO IS INVESTIGATING THE ACCIDENT
AND I'VE TOLD HIM ALL THAT I KNOW UP TO THIS PRESENT TIME. MAY WISH TO
ASK TO SEE THE JUDGE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, BUT I'VE NO INTENTION OF
SPEAKING FURTHER ON THE SUBJECT PUBLICLY UNTIL AFTER THE COURT
PROCEEDINGS ARE FINISHED, IF AT ALL.
Rees-Jones had told a British tabloid that he remembered little of the
crash--only that there was a white Fiat Uno following the Mercedes, and
that Diana called out to Dodi as she lay dying.
But there is speculation he might have more to say about driver Henri
Paul. Rees-Jones had said Paul, who was reported to be three times over
the legal French blood alcohol limit, did not appear to be drunk. And
that's what his former employer Mohammed Al-Fayed has said all along.
But since then, he has quit his job, distanced himself from
al-Fayed...and Rees-Jones ' lawyer has asked Paris police to look into a
possible cover-up. Stay tuned. Kimberly Dozier, CBS News London.))
