Tony Blair on Late Princess Diana: I was Worried for Her
In his new memoir, former Prime Minister Tony Blair speaks out about the late Princess Diana, revealing that he was "worried for her" after she split from Prince Charles. Once separated from Prince Charles, Princess Diana was seen out with Egyptian multi-millionaire Dodi Fayed. "I was worried for her, frankly," Blair told "This Week" host Christiane Amanpour while on "Good Morning America" about Diana's split from the royal family. "I mean I was worried because it was obviously going to be extremely difficult. And I wanted her to know, what the implications and consequences of all of it was going to be." Princess Di and Fayed passed away tragically in a car accident in Paris in 1997, the same year Blair became Prime Minister. "Partly because of the loss, but partly because of the circumstances in -- in which she died, there was also a sense of anger.
