Diana Spencer, famously known as the “Queen of Human Hearts,” had a lesser-known nickname used by those closest to her. A retired royal guard officer recently revealed the touching name by which her staff affectionately referred to her.
This nickname remained a cherished part of her legacy even after her passing. While the world saw her as Princess Diana, those who lived and worked with her had a more personal way of addressing her.
After her divorce from Prince Charles, Diana made Kensington Palace her home. With this transition came a small, dedicated team who referred to her simply as “Our Lady.”
Collin Tebbut, Diana’s head of security and one of her closest confidantes, shared this intimate detail during an interview with *The Sun*.
“She was our boss, but more than that, we were like a family of six or seven,” he said. “It wasn’t Buckingham Palace anymore; she was the only one with us. She was our Lady.”
When news of her tragic death broke in 1997, Tebbut and her staff were devastated. Despite his grief, he felt a deep sense of duty.
Tebbut traveled to Paris to bring Diana’s body back to the UK, ensuring her final journey was handled with care and respect.
