Dai Seaborn Davies : Princess Diana years

Commander Dai Seaborn Davies is a specialist in security and investigation, former Head of Scotland Yard’s Royal Protection Command and Divisional Commander in the Metropolitan Police.  He had a long and distinguished career with the Police Service culminated with his appointment as Operational Unit Commander in charge of Royal Protection for HM The Queen and the Royal Family – he was responsible for Palace and Personal Protection throughout the UK and worldwide.

We were delighted to welcome him to our meeting in which he delighted us with a fascinating presentation on the events leading to the untimely death of Princess Diana, at a time when he was in royal protection. His personal perspective was interesting and thought provoking. Members present were grateful that he found time to also speak… given that he had delivered a similar presentation onboard the Queen Mary only days before!
