Prince William backs probe into Martin Bashir's Panorama interview

Posted by Susan T on November 18, 2020, 6:00 pm

William, who was a teenager when the interview took place, today said: 'The independent investigation is a step in the right direction.

'It should help establish the truth behind the actions that led to the Panorama interview and subsequent decisions taken by those in the BBC at the time.'

Well, I can see William backing this investigation. He and his mother were close and he went through a lot during the War of the Wales. I forgot the Sussexes will continue to stay silent, due to Netflix, even if it is indirectly. Privately, Harry can't be too thrilled with the BBC /Martin Bashir revelations.
I'd read years and years ago that William was furious with his mother after the interview, what she revealed about her affair(s), apparently he was cruelly taunted by the other students at school.

Karen, yes William had a tough time at school after this broadcast. I don't think Diana prepared the boys for it.

From what I've read the past couple of days she was determined to make the broadcast. Kept it secret from Patrick Jephson who knew something was up from the way she was acting, but had no idea what. She attended a dinner at the time of the broadcast and acted like she hadn't a care in the world.

Jephson said one of the first things he noticed was the dark eye-liner she had on. She did her own make-up. She never wore eye-liner like that normally.

I say to leave it alone. People will do anything for a story at times and this was one.
