Princes Harry and William Express Outrage Over Shocking Princess Diana Interview Reveal

The royal family is no stranger to the media or to drama. Still, after new information was revealed about Princess Diana, it seems as though brothers William and Harry are showing a united front. It turns out that former BBC Reporter Martin Bashir took “deceitful” actions in order to secure his shocking interview with Princess Diana in 1995.

According to the investigation, BBC “fell short of its high standards of integrity and transparency.” They did so by covering up shady practices like forging documents that suggested airs close to her were in cahoots with the press. While the BB apologized for these actions, they can’t take back part of the story that contributed to Princess Di’s downfall and, ultimately, her passing. In Season 5 of “The Crown,” the eighth episode in the season recreated the interview, as it was a central moment for both Diana and the rest of the royal family.

With this info coming to light, Prince William and Harry have put aside their issues to connect and speak out against BBC and media culture as a whole. After all, the paparazzi and constant media harassment was the reason for Diana’s poor mental health and untimely death. While it makes sense that Harry would want to protect his wife based on the media damaging both her and his late mother, and in a show of resounding support, it’s good to know that his brother William has his back. The two released separate statements commenting that this infamous interview did irreparable damage to their family.

William’s statement was critical regarding how Bashir and the BBC used fake documents to secure the interview, calling it “concerning” and saying that the media outlet played in her her paranoia and fears, which ended up being very valid. In addition, William believed that this deceitful method of obtaining information influenced what Diana said during the interview.
