BBC used ‘deceitful behavior’ to land bombshell Princess Diana interview

Former BBC journalist Martin Bashir allegedly used “deceitful behavior” to get Princess Diana to agree to their bombshell 1995 interview — and the late royal’s brother linked the dishonest tactics to his sister’s tragic death two years later.

Charles Spencer said that Bashir’s strategy of making “everyone untrustworthy” to get close to him and his sister caused the beloved princess to lose faith in those around her and left her “without any form of real protection,” according to the Sun. “The irony is I met Martin Bashir on the 31st August 1995 because exactly two years later she died and I do draw a line between the two events,” Spencer will say to the BBC in a Panorama special set to air Thursday night, the Sun reported.
