“#BBC apologizes for how journalist landed Princess Diana interview<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The head of the BBC has apologized to the brother of Princess Diana for a journalist\u2019s use of fake bank statements to lure her into the 1995 Panorama interview she gave after her split from Prince Charles.<\/p>\n

Network director-general<\/a> Tim Davie wrote to Diana\u2019s brother, Charles Spencer, to acknowledge the fraudulent actions of reporter Martin Bashir 25 years ago.<\/p>\n

Last month, the BBC finally admitted that Bashir showed Diana bank statements doctored by a staff graphic designer. Spencer had alleged that Bashir told his sister \u201cfantastical stories to win her trust\u201d and showed her fake bank records to land the interview, The Sunday Times of London reported.<\/p>\n

At the time, the princess was deeply worried she was being spied on and that her staff was leaking information about her. Bashir\u2019s \u201cevidence\u201d made her confident to do the interview, one year after she and Charles split.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,\u201d Diana said famously in the explosive interview, referring to Charles\u2019 affair with Camila Parker Bowles. Weeks after the piece aired, the royals began divorce proceedings.<\/p>\n

A 1996 BBC internal investigation didn\u2019t find any wrongdoing on the part of Bashir, who allegedly believed the bank statements came from a Freedom of Information request.<\/p>\n

Sources told The Sunday Times that Spencer has a trove of records, including faxes Bashir allegedly sent to him and his sister about Charles, which say the British Intelligence Service wiretapp<\/a>ed Diana\u2019s phones. Bashir reportedly contacted Spencer with these wild claims to get through to Diana.<\/p>\n

The BBC claims it can\u2019t investigate further because of a lack of evidence and Bashir\u2019s poor health \u2014 he\u2019s battling COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anyone has substantial new information they would like to share with us, we encourage them to do so \u2013 we have not been offered nor received a \u2018dossier\u2019 from anyone,\u201d the corporation said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
