British Royal News: Is Prince William Trying To Rewrite Princess Diana’s History?

British Royal News says that sometimes its a better idea to just leave things the way they are, especially if there’s nothing you can do about it. But apparently Prince William thinks it’s a good idea to rewrite Princess Diana’s past by trying to ‘muzzle’ her and some of the things she had said in her past interviews. At least, that’s what one royal expert believes. Here’s what you need to know.

British Royal News – Is Prince William Trying To Rewrite Princess Diana’s History?

According to royal expert Omid Scobie, he thinks that Prince William played a big part in trying to get the BBC’s Panorama interview buried. He writes in his column for Yahoo: “Last week it was announced that, after demands from the Duke of Cambridge – and paying damages to a number of affected individuals including William and Harry’s childhood nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke – the BBC will never again air the interview or license footage from it. The network’s punishment was necessary and deserved. But given Diana personally wrote to Bashir after the broadcast to say she had “no regrets”, it’s puzzling why anyone would think it’s appropriate to remove one of the few first-person accounts of her life from the public domain.”

Scobie also said, “Most surprising is the role her own son has played in the [BBC’s] decision. While Harry has called out the “culture of exploitation and unethical practices” that his mother fell victim to, it was William who took it a step further and claimed the interview now has “no legitimacy” and “established a false narrative” about Diana’s life. It’s a bold statement, and one I don’t agree with given that the majority of Diana’s Panorama revelations were already in Morton’s book years earlier. But our differences in opinion are exactly why it’s important for the public to have access to such a historically important interview.”

Now, whether or not the Duke of Cambridge has truly played a role in trying to ‘muzzle’ his mother’s words 25 years after her death, no one knows, but some people like Scobie believe that the writing is on the wall. So far Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about the ordeal but at this point, it’s doubtful that anything will be said.
