BBC's Di interview, Harry & Meghan Why do the Brits love' their Queen?

Deccan Chronicle  

“How does a seed turn mud into trees? The sun sets; birds dance on the breeze The sky is grey… “ — From Wobhi Theek by Bachchoo The most famous remark of the late Princess Diana in her BBC interview with journalist Martin Bashir was: “Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.” It was not a revelation. The report reveals that Bashir, a junior BBC journalist, got a colleague in the BBC to forge bank statements which “proved” that the press were paying Princess Diana’s staff to spy on her and give them details of her relationship with an Army officer called James Hewitt. Perhaps she could have, quite justifiably, said: “Well, since there were three of us in this marriage, I assumed there could be a fourth!” The BBC apparently knew about the forged documents and Martin Bashir’s devious means of obtaining the interview and covered it up. The newspapers were in the main very happy to use the Dyson report to attack the BBC without making the connection between Diana’s death two years later in a speeding car which crashed in a Parisian tunnel as it was being relentlessly pursued by — no, not gremlins — the same newspaper paparazzi.
