Overview
- Investigative journalist Andy Webb published Dianarama drawing on thousands of BBC documents obtained via freedom of information requests, alleging prolonged concealment around Martin Bashir’s tactics.
- Webb and Earl Spencer filed a formal complaint over a BBC article that said Spencer “waited 25 years” to speak up, and the BBC corrected the piece after the complaint.
- The BBC says it accepted the 2021 Dyson report in full and has already apologized, even as the new material refocuses attention on its record-keeping and internal inquiries.
- Rosa Monckton says Diana told her 10 days before she died that she regretted doing the Panorama interview because of the harm she believed it caused her sons.
- Former private secretary Patrick Jephson tells People he believed reconciliation between Diana and Charles was still possible before the broadcast, while Webb argues Diana’s course might have changed had she been warned about forged documents.
