The Crown returns to Netflix in less than one month. No better time for the UK’s Channel 4 to launch their documentary Diana, The Truth Behind the Interview. The description claims to have explosive new evidence of the behind the scenes strategy to secure the Panorama interview that wreaked havoc on Princess Diana’s personal life.

During the interview, Princess Di questioned Prince Charles’ ability to properly reign as king. This resulted in Princess Diana being formally rejected by the royal family and stripped of her title. Not to mention the complete blow out she had with Prince William over the humiliation of her exposing her affair with James Hewitt – in front of 23 million people.

I haven’t been able to see it yet in America but Emily Baker reviewed the documentary for The i Paper and says, “To the filmmaker’s credit, the evidence that the BBC coerced the princess into sharing the details of her discordant marriage and her view that her husband wouldn’t make for a good king to Martin Bashir was rather compelling. It’s been admitted that the documents shown to Earl Spencer – on the basis of which he advised his older sister to go ahead with the televised interview – had been forged. Excitingly, an expert lawyer suggested there would be a criminal case, only for the idea to be left dangling with no further probing.”

Unfortunately, Baker says that it all ends there, an “incomplete investigation, leaving no conclusion…”

In the video clip above, Ben Avery reports that the BBC responded to the accusations admitting that the documents presented to Princess Diana were forged but reporter, Martin Bashir, has been too sick with COVID-19 to respond.

“Journalistic ethics” have never been more important than it is right now. If the accusations are true, this is a shocking and disappointing discovery for Princess Diana’s family.
