Royal Cover-Up and BBC Lies Exposed After 20-Year Investigation
Billed simply as "An interview with HRH The Princess of Wales," the programme became the most controversial broadcast ever aired by the BBC. It aired one Monday night in November 1995 and was watched by 23 million viewers in the UK and 200 million worldwide.
Recorded two weeks earlier, the programme was not a straightforward interview but rather a carefully crafted performance. It was planned, rehearsed, and executed with a clear purpose, leaving a lasting impression even decades later.

Challenging Questions
Bashir pressed Diana on difficult topics, including her relationship with James Hewitt. When asked if she had been unfaithful during her marriage, she replied:
"I adored him."
This candid admission was part of a planned narrative, contributing to the programme's controversy and continued scrutiny.
