Lee Sansum, the former bodyguard of Princess Diana, has passed away at the age of 63 following a sudden heart attack. His wife, Kate Sansum, shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, reminiscing about their life together since they met in 1998. 'Lee Sansum has been my soul mate, hero and the most amazing man in my world,' she wrote, expressing her devastation over his loss.

Sansum was not only a protector but also a significant figure in the lives of Princess Diana's sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. He shared a unique bond with the young princes, attempting to teach them kickboxing and even managing to teach Harry how to drive a jet ski. His presence in their lives during their formative years, especially before the tragic death of their mother, made his passing particularly poignant for the royal brothers.

Beyond his royal duties, Sansum's career as a bodyguard saw him protecting some of Hollywood's biggest stars, including Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, and Nicole Kidman. However, his time with Princess Diana and her sons remained the most defining period of his career, as detailed in his 2022 book, 'The Bodyguard.'

The news of Sansum's death has brought Prince William and Prince Harry together in grief, reuniting them in mourning for a man who was a part of their cherished memories with their late mother. His legacy, as described by his wife, of love and life skills, will undoubtedly live on, touching the lives of those he protected and loved.
