Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, has admitted that he was "worried for Princess Diana" when she started dating multi-millionaire playboy Dodi Fayed after splitting from Prince Charles.

Blair took office months before the princess died in a car crash in a Paris, France tunnel in 1997 and admits it was one of the first major tragedies he had to face as Prime Minister. a But, in an interview with newswoman Christiane Amanpour on Good Morning America, the politician revealed he was worried something terrible would happen.

"I was worried because it (her relationship with Fayed) 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," the Daily Express quoted him as saying. (ANI)
