A letter in which Diana, Princess of Wales, claimed her husband was planning to have her killed has been disclosed at an inquest into her death.
In the October 1993 handwritten letter, she said she believed the Prince of Wales wanted her dead so that he could marry Tiggy Legge-Bourke, a nanny to her sons William and Harry.
It read: "I am sitting here at my desk today in October, longing for someone to hug me and encourage me to keep strong and hold my head high - this particular phase in my life is the most dangerous - my husband is planning an accident in my car. Brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry Tiggy.
"Camilla is nothing but a decoy so we are being used by the man in every sense of the word."
She gave the letter to her butler, Paul Burrell, who referred to it in a book in 2003.
At the inquest into the death of Diana and Dodi Fayed in a Paris car crash 10 years ago, a friend of Diana's said she believed Mr Burrell was "perfectly capable" of imitating the princess's handwriting and that the letter was a fake.
Dodi's father, Harrods magnate Mohamed al Fayed, is convinced that the couple were killed by MI6 on the orders of Prince Philip.
