BBC ánd Prince Willuam

I value the BBC - I rate it highly. Its radio programmes are in the main splendid and the scope of its coverage is very wide. Radio 3 is a gem - it has lifted my spirits during dark times.

Dinahmo, thanks for putting the excellent piece by Barbara Ellen on this thread.
It’s now clear that Bashir faked documents made false allegations that fed Diana’s anxieties. The press today report he told her the rooms were bugged, that secret services were paying staff to spur on her, thst Prince Williams’s watch had been fitted with a microphone that taped their conversations. Bashir was also the source of the false story that the boys nanny had aborted PC’s child.
PW’s statement makes clear the devastating impact of that interview on his mother’s state of mind and the impact of that on her children in the period leading to her death.

Are there no criminal charges that can be brought against this odious creature?

I read this morning that Earl Spencer has asked Scotland Yard to investigate.
I’ve been shocked by the outcome of this latest investigation, the extent of deception does suggest a criminal investigation is needed.
It’s another occasion that confirms the value of investigative journalism. Also the point that organisations.
/institutions aren’t best placed to investigate themselves

Surely there must have been criminal offences carried out, if
I lied to someone to get money from them would that not be
a criminal offence such as obtaining money under false pretences?

The year before Charles had admitted adultery and marital breakdown on ITV "Yes ... Until it became irretrievably broken down, us both having tried".
So I kind of think he may have some responsibility too?
This is all bit mad.

Surely the point is they both had responsibility but his adultery is constantly referred to and hers is conveniently ignored. I'm not blaming her by the way as I think people have a right to be happy, the thing I'd blame both for is their lack of consideration for their sons as they bared their souls. Maybe something for Harry to consider.
