Death of Diana's 'Rambo'

Bodyguard on her fateful holiday before tragedy dies at age of 63
PRINCESS Diana's ex-bodyguard, who also protected Princes William and Harry and whom she dubbed “Rambo”, has died at the age of 63.
Lee Sansum, a former royal military police officer, protected her during a family holiday she took to St Tropez in France before her death in 1997.
His death was announced by his wife, Kate, a wellness coach and martial arts instructor, who revealed on social media he had suffered a heart attack.
She wrote: “Since meeting in 1998, Lee Sansum has been my soulmate, hero and most amazing man in my world. So I'm devastated to share that he is no longer with us. He had a fatal heart attack on Saturday morning at home.
“His huge presence will be missed around the world as much as it is in our household although his capacity for love, and the life skills he has shared, have left a legacy that will never be lost.
