Diana, Princess of Wales was so terrified she'd be assassinated by British secret services, she planned to flee the UK, according to royal author Andrew Morton.

Morton, who wrote sensational 1992 novel Diana: Her True Story, claims the princess was duped into giving an interview with TV journalist Martin Bashir in 1995, who showed her fake bank documents that convinced her she was being spied on.

He alleges she would never otherwise have given the interview, which angered the royal family and led to her isolation from Buckingham Palace.

Morton says, "Such was her fear that she was on the point of fleeing the country.

"Before that interview, Diana was at the top of her game - she was getting over her separation from Charles, the bulimia was almost gone, she was head over heels in love with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan and she was being taken seriously on the world stage."

The BBC has strongly denied Morton's allegations.

Just two years after the interview, Diana was killed when the car she was a passenger in crashed into a tunnel in Paris killing her, her lover Dodi Fayed and their chauffeur Henri Paul.
