Penny Junorโ€™s new book The Duchess: The Untold Story, which is being serialised on The Daily Mail, claims a furious Diana would phone her husbandโ€™s mistress in the middle of the night and make โ€œthreatening and unnervingโ€ comments like: โ€œIโ€™ve sent someone to kill you. Theyโ€™re outside in the garden. Look out the window; can you see them?โ€™โ€

The book claims Duchess Camilla received several threatening phone calls from Diana during her affair with Prince Charles.

According to Junor, several of Duchess Camillaโ€™s close friends confirmed that these intimidating phone calls happened on more than one occasion.

Camilla wasnโ€™t the only victim of alleged calls with Juror claiming the mother-of-two would leave โ€œdisturbingโ€ messages on peopleโ€™s answering machines.

The book says The Princess of Wales would phone those who had betrayed her and tease: โ€œWe know where you are, and so does your wife [sic]. I know youโ€™re being disloyal to me.โ€

โ€œAnd when one of Dianaโ€™s men friends, Oliver Hoare, tried to cool their relationship, she bombarded his wife with silent phone calls,โ€ Junor claims.

Continuing: โ€œDiana was not well during those years from the late Eighties to the mid-Nineties. She saw conspiracies everywhere โ€” she abruptly dropped friends, family and people who worked for her, and was convinced that her husbandโ€™s office was trying to discredit her.โ€

After the calls, Camillaโ€™s opinion of Diana changed drastically.

โ€œCamilla had actually been sympathetic towards the Princess at first, but she had also stopped feeling sorry for her.โ€
