A former bodyguard of deceased British Princess of Wales Diana told the inquest into her death on Wednesday that the government's intelligence services had been recording her conversations.
The recordings featured Diana talking on the phone with her close friend James Gilbey who affectionately called her 'Squidgy' and said repeatedly, "I love you," Sky news reported.
Ken Wharfe, who guarded Diana for around seven years until 1993,told her inquest he believed the British intelligence listening station GCHQ had routinely bugged the princess' conversations and had broadcast the recording of the phone conversation over the airwaves for radio enthusiasts to pick up.
He added that he believed GCHQ were monitoring members of the royal family due to heightened IRA (Irish Republican Army) activity at the time.
Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed died in Paris after a car crash in August 1997. And the inquest started in London last year into their deaths.
