BBC Apologizes To Royal Family For Explosive Princess Diana Interview

After more than 25 years, the BBC has apologized for the infamous 1995 interview that BBC correspondent Martin Bashir conducted with Princess Diana, acknowledging Bashir lied repeatedly to Diana and even commissioned false bank statements to buttress his claims that her close friends were betraying her, and the BBC covered up for Bashir afterward.

The BBC “has sent personal letters of apology to Prince William, Prince Harry and other royals,” the Daily Mail reported, adding, “The BBC is also returning all awards the explosive interview accrued, including a Bafta TV gong won in 1996.”
