Royal Cover-Up and BBC Lies Exposed After 20-Year Investigation
The programme, simply titled 'An interview with HRH The Princess of Wales', became the most controversial broadcast ever aired by the BBC. It aired on a Monday night in November 1995 and was watched by 23 million UK viewers and 200 million worldwide.
Despite its simple billing, the recorded encounter was not a straightforward interview. Filmed two weeks prior, it was more of a staged performance—a rehearsed double act created with a specific purpose.
Diana's expression during the broadcast was striking, with wide eyes like a frightened deer as she stated:
“There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”
This memorable line was delivered flawlessly. Throughout the programme, Diana responded smoothly with carefully prepared soundbites, similar to a seasoned chat-show guest. Some of her notable replies included:
“I'd like to be a queen of people's hearts. In people's hearts.”
The interview was not without tough questions. Reporter Martin Bashir pressed Diana about her relationship with James Hewitt during her marriage to Prince Charles, asking bluntly:
“Were you unfaithful?”
To which Diana confessed, “I adored him.”
