Diana’s doc makers Princess defended their decision to depict her life and terrible death.
The documentary’s publicist, according to People, stated, “This feature documentary tells the story of Princess Diana exclusively through archive footage from the time, without commentary from today. This interview is shown briefly, in context, as a moment of the historical record.”
Diana stated in the controversial 1995 interview, that “there were three people” in her marriage.
The princess alluded to her husband, Prince Charles, and Camilla Parker Bowles’ long-running affair.
During the last two years, however, it has been revealed that the interview was gained by trickery by journalist Martin Bashir, who allegedly misled Diana’s brother Charles Spencer.
Following the investigation last year, Prince William lambasted the processes behind the Panorama program’s production.
William added, “It is my view that the deceitful way the interview was obtained substantially influenced what my mother said,” he continued. “The interview was a major contribution to making my parents’ relationship worse and has since hurt countless others.”
