The accusation is that basically the interview was secured with fraudulent claims, not necessarily that she would not have agreed to it anyway. The horrified brigade are horrified again.

So its that she agreed to it not about what she said is that right .So the problem is she was tricked in to saying what happened in her life .not that she told the media.

To confusing gonna leave it .Wllliam seems to have cleared it up so there we go just seen his statement there end off .
The BBC say they have a handwritten note from Diana stating that the documents played “no part in her decision to take part in the interview”. So I doubt she'd have said anything different. Personally, I think she was betrayed worse by her husband than by the Beeb, but I don't suppose we'll hear William's views on that.
And Harry said: "Our mother lost her life because of this". Bloody nonsense.
What? She's dead? How am I just finding this out?

You'd think it would have been in the news at some point.
Easier to blame the bbc than her cheating husband his mistress, the establishment of the royal family . William is well in the groove for royal life .la la land .
anne, I've always enjoyed the film The Bed Sitting Room, a post-apocalyptic dystopia in which the royal family has been wiped out and the next in line for the throne turns out to be Mrs Ethel Shroake, played by Dandy Nichols. I don't suppose it will happen, though.
jno, Spike at his mentally unstable best.
It's a long read, but interesting (I thought) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56680229

I also thought William's statement was spot on.
Do we wonder why Earl Spencer was even * talking * to Martin Bashir. ?
Scroll down in the link above to...

//Bashir contacts Earl Spencer


The story begins with Bashir's plan to persuade Princess Diana's brother Earl Spencer that among journalists covering the "War of the Waleses", he had access to high-level sources with the inside story of a broad conspiracy against him and his sister.//
anneasquith - it's in the link I gave -

..."I (Bashir - my insertion) simply [want] to share some information which I believe, may be of interest," he wrote, calculating Spencer would bite knowing that he had had his own battles with the media..."
I don't suppose well ever know the whole truth and I am not losing sleep anout it.
I think this situation was best summed up by anneasquith at 23.55 last night.

'Easier to blame the bbc than her cheating husband his mistress, the establishment of the royal family . William is well in the groove for royal life .la la land.'

Personally, I would give this Best Answer!
Both William and Harry ought to remember that Diana was expert at media manipulation and she jumped at the chance to do the interview and air her grievances. That was her revenge on Charles, Camilla and the 'grey suits' within the Firm.
if Charles had stayed home at nights, the interview would never have happened.
I'm sick of hearing about them.
