Princess Diana 'threatened to kill Camilla', explosive new book claims

Royal biographer Penny Junor claims Diana phoned Camilla in the middle of the night and told her: \'I\'ve sent someone to kill you\'

Princess Diana would phone Camilla Parker Bowles in the middle of the night and say she\'d "sent someone to kill you", an explosive new book has claimed.

Author Penny Junor makes the claims in her biography of Prince Harry, which is being published to coincide with his 30th birthday.

In an extract printed in the Daily Mail, Junor talks about the "terrifying emotional outbursts" Diana was prone to as her marriage to Prince Charles fell apart.

She says that while Charles had instructed his staff not to do anything which would discredit Diana, she "saw conspiracies everywhere" and would send "poisonous messages to a range of people".

Junor writes: "Even Camilla had threatening phone calls from her.... \'I\'ve sent someone to kill you\' Diana would say. \'They\'re outside in the garden. Look out of the window; can you see them?\'"

The author goes on to say newly-divorced Camilla found the calls in the dead of night frightening, but no one ever confronted Diana "for fear of provoking a scene".

Elsewhere, Junor writes about the difficulties Charles had in the early days of his first marriage dealing with his young wife\'s mood swings and eating disorder.

Later there were "blistering" rows which, Junor claims, Princes Harry and William heard.

She also talks about Diana\'s relationships with other men including James Hewitt, James Gilbey, and Will Carling.

Writing about the young princes, she concludes: "While their nannies could keep them occupied and the protection officers could keep them safe, no one could protect them for their emotional extremes of their mother."
