David Dimbleby insists Princess Diana ‘was not bullied’ into BBC interview | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

“Everything we did in terms of the interview was as she wanted, from when she wanted to alert the palace, to when it was broadcast, to its contents … My family and I loved her.”

Bashir said he was “deeply sorry” to Prince William and Prince Harry, but disputed the Duke of Cambridge’s accusation that he fuelled their mother Diana’s isolation and paranoia.

“I don’t feel I can be held responsible for many of the other things that were going on in her life, and the complex issues surrounding those decisions,” he said.

Speaking about the forged documents, he added: “Obviously I regret it, it was wrong. But it had no bearing on anything. It had no bearing on [Diana], it had no bearing on the interview.”
