This is the story of the real bodyguard, Lee Sansum, ex-Royal Military
Policeman, martial arts champion, and expert in close protection. Part of
Mohamed and Dodi Al-Fayed's protection team, Lee had to guard the most famous
woman in the world, Princess Diana. He formed a close bond with Diana and the
young princes, particularly Harry, and it was only by a stroke of luck that he
was not in the car the night Diana died. That night proved to be the turning
point in his own life.
Over the course of his career, Lee has worked with the rich and famous, such
as Hollywood stars Tom & Nicole, Pele and Sylvester Stallone, and he gives a
candid account of what it's like to work in a job where lives are literally at
stake.
Growing up in a tough part of Greater Manchester, Lee learnt the hard way that
to survive you need to stand up to bullies and be harder than your opponent. A
career in the Royal Military Police took him to the "Bandit Country" of South
Armagh, where he pulled an AWOL squaddie out of a honey trap moments before an
IRA active service unit arrived to kill him. He worked undercover in Northern
Ireland and joined the SIB, the Army's own internal affairs unit, before
entering the world of private security, operating in the world's hotspots,
such as Libya and the breakaway state of Somaliland.
Lee's story is one of quiet strength, of how reading a situation is invaluable
to getting out of trouble. It is one of achieving personal goals and
overcoming trauma through the help of his wife, Kate, and through his love of
martial arts. It is also a fitting tribute to one of the outstanding figures
of our age.
