Prince William talks about the death of Lady Di and blames journalist Martin Bashir for his isolation and paranoia
The Duke of Cambridge has appreciated the research confirming that she was misled into giving the BBC interview in which she spoke of her marriage. Prince Harry has also spoken from California assuring that his mother lost her life for this interview.
The death of Diana of Wales remains an open wound for her children and for part of British society. And the message sent yesterday by her eldest son, Prince William, leaves no room for doubt. In a video, the first-born of Lady Di appreciated the result of the investigation that shows that the BBC journalist Martin Bashir used false documents to convince Diana to do the interview that took place in 1995 and in which he aired all his intimacies and He told why his marriage had not worked out.
The Duke of Cambridge wanted to explain in an unprecedented speech that Bashir's deception to secure his interview with Princess Diana accelerated the divorce of his parents and "hurt countless people." Prince William began by thanking Lord Dyson for the investigation carried out and accepting the BBC's apologies, then hardening his tone.
"In my opinion, the misleading way in which this interview was accomplished had a substantial influence on what my mother said. The interview did a great deal to make my parents' relationship worse, and has hurt many people since. Indescribable sadness to learn that the BBC's mistakes contributed significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation, which I remember from the past few years with her. But what makes me even sadder is that if the BBC had properly investigated the complaints and concerns that arose from the first time in 1995, my mother would have known she was cheated on. "

Prince William has claimed that this program does not have any legitimacy and should never be published again, pointing out that a false reality has been cemented on it that has become the speech that has occupied the covers and information of many media for almost 25 years. The son of Diana of Wales wanted to highlight how public television failed her mother, her family and the general public.
Not only William has alluded to the results of the investigation that was released yesterday. From California, Prince Harry has gone a step further by blaming those responsible for this interview for the death of Lady Di. "Our mother was an incredible woman who dedicated her life to service. She was resilient, courageous and unquestionably honest. The effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately ended her life. Our mother lost her life because of this."
Both Prince William and the Duke of Sussex yesterday received letters of "unconditional apology" from the BBC for Bashir's conduct and the cover-up of his performance that have been discovered and confirmed 25 years later.
