In the decade since the car crash in a Paris tunnel that took the life of Princess Diana, her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes, a handful of so-called psychics have claimed they predicted the tragedy. As expected, the media has ignored ad dismissed nearly all of them as screwballs or people seeking publicity by being associated with the worldwide interest in Diana.

For the most part these wannabe-psychics have been unable to provide documentation or public pronouncements which were on record before the tragic events of that Friday night and early Saturday morning in August, 1997.

For the most part, but not totally. Not 100%. A prediction that Princess Diana would be killed, the same week it actually happened, is part of the official police record in a small police station in the U.K. But, like other such predictions, it was not taken seriously.

In the early years after Diana's death, references to this information was available on the Internet. But with the passage of time it has passed from view and is now very difficult to find. But for anyone who cares to check for themselves, the prediction does exist in the police records Mountain Ash police station in South Wales.

For those who are interested, herewith are the known facts, as researched by this writer, and which appear in the book "To Kill A Princess, The Diana Plot (ISBN 097105603x):

On Wednesday, August 27, as Diana and Dodi were frolicking in the Mediterranean aboard the Jonikal, Edward Williams an area resident, went to the Mountain Ash police station in South Wales just after 2 PM to report a disturbing a premonition he had about the Princess of Wales.

Police in the U.K., and everywhere for that matter, were accustomed to people coming in to report incidents of crop circles, UFO sightings, or alien encounters. Such things went with the job.

On the other hand, premonitions or dreams about assassinations, physical harm or great danger to public officials were looked at differently in the event that what was being reported was actually a veiled or unconscious threat from the person dispensing such information.

However, Williams demeanor, and past predictions, put him in a different class than people reporting the usual fantasies. So much so that the interviewing officer filed an incident' report that was duly forwarded to Special Branch officers. That report appears in the department's permanent police blotter and reads, verbatim:

"On the 27th August at 14:12 hrs, a man by the name of Edward Williams came to Mountain Ash police station. He said he was a psychic and predicted that Princess Diana was going to die.

"In previous years he has predicted that the Pope and Ronald Reagan were going to be the victims of assassination attempts. On both occasions he was proved to be correct. Mr. Williams appeared to be quite normal.

Mr. Williams statement was taken and properly logged into the Mountain Ash police record in South Wales. After more than ten years, it is most likely now in the department's archives.
