The 1995 Panorama Interview
In November 1995, Princess Diana gave a landmark interview to journalist Martin Bashir for the BBC’s "Panorama" program. The interview was unprecedented, as Diana broke royal protocol by speaking openly about her marriage, Prince Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, her struggles with bulimia, and her own affair with James Hewitt.
"Martin Bashir did not show me any documents, nor give me any information that I was not previously aware of." — Princess Diana, December 1995
Aftermath and Controversy
The broadcast shocked the British public and royal family, revealing intimate details about Diana’s life and the royal marriage. Years later, new revelations emerged that Bashir had deceived Diana to secure the interview, using forged documents and misleading claims about her staff. This deception has led to ongoing controversy and accusations that the BBC and Bashir played a role in the tragic events that followed Diana’s life.
"It seemed to me that because of what Martin Bashir had done in 1995, and more importantly because it had then been covered up, Diana's life had been sent off on a terribly dangerous course, resulting in her death." — Webb, author of Dianarama
Prince William’s Reaction
Prince William has expressed deep emotional pain and a persistent wound from the fallout of the interview. He continues to seek the truth about the circumstances surrounding the broadcast and its consequences for his mother’s life.
Author’s summary: Prince William remains deeply affected by the fallout from Princess Diana’s 1995 BBC interview, seeking truth about the manipulation and lasting impact on his family.
