“#BBC to investigate tactics used in Princess Diana interview<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The BBC is now looking into the tactics that led to one of Princess Diana\u2019s most tragic utterances regarding her failed marriage to Prince Charles: \u201cThere were three of us in this marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The explosive interview between Diana and journalist Martin Bashir aired in 1995, but 25 years later, new evidence suggests that the reporter may have used forged bank statements and other unethical methods to convince Diana to partake in the interview, Deadline reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, the situation is being properly investigated \u2014 however, it\u2019s complicated by the fact that Bashir, now 57 and a religion editor for BBC News<\/a>, is gravely ill with COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, the BBC apologized to Princess Diana\u2019s brother, Charles Spencer, after he brought forward the evidence. (Diana died in 1997 from injuries sustained in a car crash.) The network admitted that Bashir showed Spencer 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 him fake bank records that reportedly helped land Bashir the interview.<\/p>\n

Spencer also said he found a letter sent to him by Bashir that brought up rumors of an affair between Charles and the family\u2019s nanny.<\/p>\n

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

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

\u201cSuggesting that mocked-up documents were genuine was wrong then and it\u2019s wrong now; the BBC of today is happy to apologize for this. The BBC\u2019s editorial processes are now even tougher and this would not happen today,\u201d said a statement from a BBC spokesperson sent to The Post. \u201cThe BBC\u2019s records say that the Princess of Wales said she hadn\u2019t seen the mocked-up documents and they had played no part in her decision to take part in the interview.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the BBC says it will investigate the evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BBC has apologised. We are happy to repeat that apology. And while this was a quarter of a century ago, we absolutely will investigate \u2014 robustly and fairly \u2014 substantive new information,\u201d a spokeswoman told Deadline. \u201cWe have asked Earl Spencer to share further information with the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, we are hampered at the moment by the simple fact that we are unable to discuss any of this with Martin Bashir, as he is seriously unwell. When he is well, we will of course hold an investigation into these new issues.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
