The BBC fell short of "high standards of integrity and transparency" over Martin Bashir's 1995 interview with Princess Diana, an inquiry has found.

Mr Bashir acted in a "deceitful" way and faked documents to obtain the interview, the inquiry said.

And the BBC's own internal probe in 1996 into what happened was "woefully ineffective", it added.

The BBC and Mr Bashir have both apologised.

The BBC said the report showed "clear failings", admitting it should have made more effort to get to the bottom of what happened at the time.

The corporation has sent personal apologies to the Prince of Wales, the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex, and Diana's brother Earl Spencer.

Mr Bashir said mocking up the documents "was a stupid thing to do" and he regretted it, but said they had no bearing on Diana's decision to be interviewed.

there's something a bit Meghan-like, with Diana's simpering "poor me" act. Was Freud right after all? :joker:

[jet]

It's about time that Martin Bashir and the BBC are held to account for this. Absolute disgrace. Bashir had made Diana so paranoid that she refused royal protection officers because he implied they were spying on her every move.
If they had been with her in Paris, as they would have, she would never have got into that car in the first place.

"The Royals, as Jet from TiBB has frequently pointed out past threads, have a strong history of not getting actively involved with this stuff and I feel that William's willingness to speak on this matter will in part have been because of Harry's recent willingness to speak. At the very least, I'm sure plenty of their private conversations will have included Harry talking at length about his anger with the press about Diana, and William would have to be stone-cold to not have been at least somewhat riled up by those thoughts even if he doesn't agree with the overall path Harry has taken.

At the very least, it confirms that William holds some anger and resentment towards the GB press when it comes to his mother, just like Harry does, even if he hasn't been as outspoken about it."

Yes he did as bots said.

The BBC surely cannot and should not be let off the hook here, to just look at itself and do cosmetic changes...

The BBC has been failing the public tax funding it gets now for decades.

On several issues.

It's no good the government saying , give them a chance to sort things out themselves.
Things will be looked at in the future when things are normally reviewed.

This is serious now.
No more kicking unsavoury issues into the long grass.
Some intervention should be on the cards now to ensure public funds to the BBC are respected and now justified still in the light of this scandal.

The arrogance of the BBC is nauseating.
There are times and for me this is one of them, where ' just saying SORRY doesn't make things right'.

…and he’s openly been very anti royal establishment/institution regarding Diana as well….

[user104658]

The main conspiracy theory at the time was she was pregnant with Dodis child and the Royals had her bumped off to save embarrassment

Pregnant or at risk of becoming pregnant. I don't believe the conspiracies these days, however it wasn't without merit - he wasn't just "non white" he was actively Muslim, and the future king of England having a Muslim half-brother would have been a huge political "problem", especially at that time. The 90's may have felt quiet but behind the scenes, the wheels were well in motion post-Gulf 1 for 9/11, War on Terror, Gulf 2 etc. and it would have been a huge spanner in the works.

And the BBC protecting their own brand (because let's face it the BBC aren't a very morally righteous company) isn't racism, it's called clever business.
