Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer has made a shocking comment about BBC's deception.
In an interview with People Magazine, the uncle of Prince Harry and Prince William talked about the late Princess' infamous Panorama interview.
Referring to Diana's sit-down with journalist Martin Bashir in 1995, Charles told the outlet that BBC's actions created the conditions that left the late Princess unprotected at the night of tragic accident.
He said, "There are high-ranking people in the BBC who participated in securing this interview, through appalling deception."
Adding, "I am sure that this led directly to Diana being left vulnerable in Paris on the night she died."
Charles also noted that "Andy Webb is right to hold them to account," referring to journalist Andy Webb, who spent nearly two decades to bring out the truth behind Princess Diana and Martin Bashir's scandal.
For those unaware: In 1995, BBC journalist Martin Bashir used "deceitful methods" and convinced Diana that Panorama was the only way to speak her truth, when she was already wary of royal officials at the time. Notably, the news agency covered-up his actions.
Moreover, the former secretary of Diana, Patrick Jephson, also told the outlet, "Bashir picked a very opportune moment."
"She was in a state of justified anxiety. It is not paranoia if you have reasonable grounds to believe that they are out to get you," he said.
Notably, Andy Webb suggests that only if BBC had taken right action Diana "might plausibly still be alive today — a grandmother at 64, enjoying her five grandchildren."
Princess Diana died at the age of 36 on August 31, 1997, when Prince William and Prince Harry were only 15 and 12 respectively.
