Diana gave up protection from scotland yard after the separation it was never taken away from her.
Right, I know. I was referring to why Diana felt it so necessary to give up her royal protection. I suspect what Pinkie said may be closer to the mark.
Pinkie40: I've often thought the police conspired to make themselves a nuisance and intrusive so Diana would plead her case for their dismissal. People of far less status believe very basic protection is necessary.
