Full Title: 'Our mother lost her life because of this': Harry lashes out over 'unethical' BBC interview with Diana as furious William says Martin Bashir's 'lurid and false claims' to secure it fuelled her 'paranoia and isolation' and drove their parents apart

Prince William said the 1995 Panorama Diana interview should 'never be aired again' in unprecedented reply

Said 'established a false narrative which, for over a quarter of a century, has been commercialised by the BBC'

Prince Harry responded to Lord Dyson's report into interview, saying his mother was 'unquestionably honest'

He said 'the ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately took [Diana's] life'

Both Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex today received letters of apology from the BBC over the scandal

Buckingham Palace and Prince Charles' residence Clarence House also had correspondence, can be revealed

The princess's brother Earl Spencer linked his sister's death to the BBC after she was deceived by Bashir

Prince Harry blasted the 1995 BBC Panorama interview with Princess Diana as 'unethical' while furious William said Martin Bashir's 'lurid and false claims' to secure it fuelled their mother's 'paranoia and isolation'.

The Duke of Cambridge said Bashir's deceit in obtaining his 1995 interview with Princess Diana hastened his parents' divorce and 'hurt countless others' in unprecedented broadside against the shamed BBC.

So the media wants to take pictures of you. Let them. Who gives a fig? Not worth losing your life over.

Off with Bashir’s head.
Back in the day Bashir will be having an appointment with the executioner.

The only one of the 4 in the car that was using his seatbelt survived. The bodyguard. The unbelted 3 Diana, Dodi and the drunk chauffeur all cashed their chips in. Telling I think.

Dianas driver was drunk. The media was a minute or two behind them. The accident had already happened when the press entered the tunnel.

“The queen wanted him to marry a more photogenic princess.”

Therein lies the cunumdrum: Princess Diana became Princess Diana because of the media, because she was photogenic. The royal family is sustained by the media publicity and would otherwise be considered even more useless today than it already is. The queen knows how to deal with the media: “Don’t complain. Don’t explain.” But her kids and grandkids are not always so savvy in this time of instant reaction and irrelevance fifteen minutes later. I don’t condone predatory media but I also get tired of people who were made by the media now complaining about the media attention. The media has always been a powerful enemy and a treacherous friend. Those who don’t realize that need to get out of the kitchen.

He couldn’t marry Camilla because she had already done the dirty deed and they couldn’t have that.

Turns out only a light rinse was necessary for the desired effect.

No, Harry, you mother died because she was drunk and got into a car driven by a bigger drunk and insisted the bigger drunk drive at outrageous speeds.

Diana died because she got into a car driven by a drunk driver, and failed to wear a seatbelt. Pretty simple. Not killed by Bashir or the BBC

I totally agree, they were not thrilled with her Muslim boyfriend. I remember her death well. Had just moved into my new house, first morning there I opened the door to pick up my newspaper and those were the headlines. Shed a tear for her. I had recently been in London for a week and was totally put off by the horrible high prices at Harrods, owned by Fayad family at the time.

The media was chasing the car she was in....She thought when she left Charles,the media would stop hounding her...They didn’t....

If was still the driver’s fault. Getting away from nasty news media is a poor excuse for dangerous driving.

The Queen told Charles and Diana to divorce after this interview. Without the interview, they would have stayed married but separated longer, she would still have had her royal protection officers, and it is unlikely that she would have gone cavorting with the likes of Dodi Fayed.

Guess Harry is identifying as Black these days — he sees himself a victim.
