At the time of the Panorama Interview, Diana was already in a relationship with Haznat Kahn. Diana introduced Haznat to Bashir. Haznat told her not to trust him. He tried to dissuade her from doing the Interview but she said that she wanted to. Part of the reason was to bring things to a head with the RF and try to move the situation forward regarding a divorce. She was in limbo with the separation and she wanted to be able to move on in her life.

Nevertheless, Princess Diana spoke exactly what was on her mind and heart. Diana spoke her truth regardless of how Martin Bashir got Diana to participate in that Panorama interview. From that interview, we know that Prince Charles was having an intimate relationship with Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles. And, the BRF or the Firm (which is a business) were terrified of Princess Diana's strength and popularity. Rather than support the woman who gave birth to a royal heir and spare, whose husband was unfaithful, whose husband was condescending and cruel, they stripped Princess Diana of her title and she had to leave without her sons. They need to acknowledge how badly they treated Princess Diana.

@@California265 true, and I do sympathize in part with what she was going through. She came from a broken family, grew up without her mother and probably didn't have much of an upbringing. She was certainly too young and immature for any marriage, much less marriage into the RF. I don't defend Charles, he didn't love her, and practically showed it when asked about love ... "Whatever that means". But she brought very little into their relationship. She had no particular education, no particular interests or experience. The bulimia and self-harm proved her to be unstable and unsuitable for such a tough job as royal life. Her subsequent fame - and she truly was beautiful and charismatic - led her to believe everyone loved her. Many did, but as many were anti-royal only too happy to use her to undermine the monarchy. She exposed her sorrows and weaknesses to these people when she should have put her head down and kept quiet.

Harry needs help for his mental health. But i do not understand how he is being deliberately hurt by his family. Not when they opened their arms to welcome his wife into the familly, not when his dad walked her bride down the aisle. He was the one who stepped back from royal life , only after he didn't get his part time "senior royal" + commercial ventures" proposal approved. Not having security, when security is linked to being part of being senior royal work. Doubt he was not advised out it. Could be that he doesn't want to accept it vs. not advised about it. Did he consider doing his job - being bullied, as he didn't want to do it? Maybe time to H to return his title to the Queen.

[@magnacz]

The Dimbleby interview by Charles the prince of Wales where he states that he only became unfaithful after his own marriage had broken down meaning he is the innocent party and it was Diana that was impossible to stay married to. Dismissing her security in 1993 is another fact seemingly her own decision but it was Charles that was paying for it and the people were going back and forth between the two households. He was playing musical chairs having Camilla move in as soon as Diana left the house. Diana was hurt, sad and disappointed but not paranoid she new what was going on at this point and for a while as a fact.

How convenient for a royal family under scrutiny and a govt that wants to destroy the bbc!? They are mainly just passing the buck to clear Charles as he will have to become king soon - the timing of this post death of Phillip is curious.

[@grainnelambert881]

I wonder does william and harry still keep in touch with paul hmmmmm do they think he is an expert on their mothers life hmmmmm

[@georginashanti4605]

I trust Paul. As I've said before, if Diana trusted him implicitly, which she did, then that's good enough for me.

[@TyroneBeiron]

It seems that the Queen should have intervened immediately after the Prince Charles interview about his infidelities... but then Charles it would seem would not have listened anyway. At the end of the day, those indiscretions with CPB was still what destroyed everything. But that doesn't make what MB and the BBC did as not having aggravated the situation for sure.

[@veesvoyages]

So sad!

[@pinkpanther7030]

Very good analysis by Paul Burrell. I agree. I gather that Lady Diana felt humiliated by the previous interview of Charles about their separation. Her own interview would have happened anyhow. She said she would not go away quietly. However Bashir was not a real friend he took his own scoop of opportunity.🤔 Unfortunately that interview was the beginning of her downfall.

[@peitacooke5353]

Unfortunately, Diana knew who Charles and whole Royal Family really were. I think their deceit failed her more.

[@rainbowzappa1440]

I dont think she was a victim because she would have said what was on her mind. Also, she could have refused questions she wouldnt want to answer. She knew what she was doing. To air your dirty laundry is wrong. The readin why she did it is because she wanted a divorce. Otherwise, she would have just been seperated. She did not want that even if she knew she still would be queen seperated. She wanted a divorce so she did a tell all interview. She knew what she was doing.

[@raytavares5344]

The best way is to leave Harry and William separated for a while then United them to do therapeutic counselling sessions together without any of their own wives being present, I still feel that Harry has channelled his anger to her dad and her majesty instead of the media thou. It's Bashir who worsened things to the death of his mum not the Duke of Wales and her majesty.

[@martatosh7353]

How sad :(

[@user-ld5fo6zg2j]

Bashir did do nothing wrong... she was a grown woman she said everything what she wanted to say n her interview her motive was to tell the world there was a 3rd person in the marriage ...it was very important for her to talk about it ...I am glad she had the interview with BASHIR...

The real culprit of the beautfule yet vulnerable Diana was James Hewit.

Loved him on Downton abbey . . . .

Diana asked for that interview.

Am so anger and heart 💔💔💔💔 because I loved her so much it hurts so much even today am in pain

Harry isn't garded, he constantly spewing his guts out.

[@kareningram2562]

For Harry and William to make amends. Harry needs to learn to keep family business in the family. And let his beautiful Mother rest in peace. Her death was heart crashing to the people of UK but heartbreaking to her boys. 💔 And for the love they had and have for thier Mom, stop making money off her Harry and Meghan. Let her rest in peace finally knowing William step up to defend her and how proud she would be of him. God Bless both those boys for there is no greater love than knowing how much she loved them. And how much she is missed.

[@deekang6244]

Maybe the family could financially support Harry and Meghan

[@kareningram2562]

You know at their age they could earn money on their own life's instead it always be about his mother's death. Meghan alone has lots of skelton's she could talk about! But in the end they are adults and wanted freedom and got it,but it shouldn't be at the hands of destroying others.

[@tito4496]

@@kareningram2562 The Royal family were not supportive, protective or defended the Sussexes they used them as scapegoats to hide the ills of the other royals so they are bearing the consequences of that now.

You knew her better than her son? Do tell me more.

[@joanbell1248]

Diana herself said she was paranoid

[@bonniehowell9206]

Being labeled as "paranoid" was not an insult. Her son was simply expressing the impact of being manipulated had on her and why the Bashir and the BBC should be held accountable for their actions. The fact is the manipulation caused by Bashir and anyone else with the BBC involved caused her to grow paranoid by everyone around her and felt she couldn't trust anyone.

Don't understand why William called his mother "paranoid".

[@godwinejiofor8064]

Because he is trying to cover up for his dear dad and his supporters doesnt see anything wrong in that

[@rachelsavard851]

Exactly!! I found that very damning and hurtful. He played into the narrative that distances Charles and the Royal Family from the environment that lead a young teen girl with little experience in life to a dreadful adult life. And spoke to the broader issue that Harry gets critiqued for his actions and William goes unchecked.

[@arr4080]

She was paranoid. She had lots of hangers on and sought advice from many dubious sources including psychics. William was being honest. Although her death was tragic, she was very far from a saintly figure.
