Family: Princess Diana's relationship with the Queen is explored in a new book
Shocking claims in a new royal biography claim the Queen responded to
reports of Princess Diana's car crash in Paris by saying 'someone must
have greased the brakes'. Diana was killed in the crash in August
1997 - triggering national mourning and some criticism of the Royal
Family's unemotional reaction to the tragedy. A new book by royal
biographer Ingrid Seward claims the Queen made the remark after she
initially heard news Diana had been injured in a crash. Seward wrote in the Daily Mail: "At first it was thought that, though the car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel was serious, Diana had not been killed.

"According to one witness present when the Queen heard the
initial news, she mused out loud: ‘Someone must have greased the
brakes.’ "That astonishing remark reveals something of the extraordinary and complex relationship between her and Diana." The
book is also said to reveal the Queen's initial fondness of Diana
before the princess' anxiousness resulted in their relationship becoming
more cold.
