Judge Lord Dyson has ruled that Martin Bashir used deceit and lies to gain his infamous interview with the late royal and Dan Wooten of The Daily Mail is asking if the corporation has “blood on their hands,” following her death two years after the interview.

The judge ruled that Bashir’s bombshell sit-down with Diana was fraudulently obtained and Wooten asserts that Harry and William, “remain furious about what happened … despite the Corporation’s groveling apology today, rebuilding relations with the future king will not be easy.”
After the interview, Queen Elizabeth demanded that Diana and Charles divorce,d and she was stripped of her HRH title. It was subsequently her decision to reject official security protection and some would like to believe that was the reason for her fatal car accident, in which the paparazzi were following her.
Was a car crash two years after the interview Bashir and the BBC’s fault?

According to Wooten royal, “Security that would never have allowed her to get in a speeding car driven by a drunk driver with her new boyfriend Dodi Fayed… In fact, alongside the despicable Jimmy Savile cover-up, the Diana Panorama affair will go down as the darkest moment in the history of the Beeb.”
For some, that is a big stretch. But Diana was a beloved royal figure and there are many who adhere to this narrative.

Wooten does not hide his animosity toward Bashir writing, “Like so many fans of Princess Diana, for a long time I was sucked in by Bashir.”
“But to plant in Diana’s mind a series of clearly outlandish stories to play into her paranoia was dark and dodgy. Bashir tried everything, from the fact Diana was being bugged and her loyal staff being paid by newspapers to outlandish claims Prince Edward had AIDS and the Queen was suffering from a heart condition due to overeating.”
“That’s why an apology a quarter of a century after the event, having been forced into a proper investigation due to intense media scrutiny, feels too little too late.”
Bashir left the BBC last week due to “health concerns.” Wooten contends that the BBC’s apology, “won’t be good enough for Diana’s sons,” and asks if the “BBC has blood on its hands.” Surely there will be a variety of answers, depending in large part on how one felt about the “People’s Princess.

It's shameful what the BBC did. Bashir was a rogue journalist and their money maker.
