i'm really glad william spoke out rather than harry. I think they both have a right to be seriously pissed off. I think the bbc will struggle to recover from this. I mean, they put out a special panorama program investigating the short comings of the very same program years ago, after already having had an investigation where they covered it all up. It's bloody ridiculous

This is a really big mess for the BBC.
All sounding very unsavoury at the very least.

Yes his Statement
makes the most sense.


[William says Diana was "failed" by Bashir,
and also by BBC chiefs "who looked
the other way rather than asking tough questions".]

…it does very much fit with Harry’s work as well in misleading and misinformation etc and how media and social media seem to work together now …and it’s not a great partnership going forward, I feel…

…I commented yesterday and have in the past on stories that are based on deceit and how damaging that is because that then very quickly often becomes ‘fact’ or truth ….

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.

Responding to an apology from the BBC found guilty of deceiving his mother and enhancing her paranoia is totally different from what loose-lipped Harry has been doing...

"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."

Its a silly comparison. It was an official statement to all media in response to an official inquiry. poor

Its a ridiculous comparison. Its no different from when Charles spoke to the press after Phillip passed away. An official statement it was and its what they do.

The Problem of the BBC
is they are Judge and Jury.

Last night Ch4HDnews
set up a camera outside
the BBC in Regent Street
asking many times to speak
the CEO of the BBC.

He ignored them.

Of course it is; if it was Harry you’d have a go/point out how what’s he’s doing wrong, as it’s William you support it. The literal definition of a double standard. No one is surprised?

Are you missing the conflict on a royal thread TS? Too bad, your weak attempt isn't working.
