@microdocumentary: In 1995, Princess Diana sat down with BBC journalist Martin Bashir for the most watched television interview in British history — 23 million viewers. She revealed Charles's affair with Camilla, spoke about her depression and bulimia, and told the world the truth about life inside the Royal Family. What the world didn't know was how Bashir got that interview. He forged bank statements showing Diana's own inner circle were being paid to spy on her. Paranoid and alone, she trusted the one man who was actively deceiving her. The interview changed everything. The BBC discovered Bashir's forgeries internally shortly after the interview aired. They buried the investigation completely. Diana died in Paris in August 1997 never knowing she had been manipulated into the most consequential moment of her life. In 2021, an independent government inquiry led by Lord Dyson published its findings. Bashir had used "deceitful behavior" to obtain the interview. The BBC had covered it up for 25 years. Prince William gave a furious statement saying the interview worsened his mother's paranoia and contributed directly to her death. She deserved the truth. She never got it. #princessdiana #royalfamily #BBC #fyp #foryoupage
