Apparently he wants nothing to do with it. There’s a new report that says Prince William absolutely refuses to comment on Martin Bashir’s public apology to the prince’s late mother, Princess Diana.
The former BBC reporter was forced to step down after an independent inquiry revealed the journalist had forged documents in order to secure an interview with Princess Diana.
While Martin Bashir has since apologized and admitted his wrongdoing, he denied that the interview had any effect on Diana. “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,” Bashir said.
Prince William Refuses To Comment On Martin Bashir’s Princess Diana Apology
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Bashir said he “never wanted to harm” Diana, Princess of Wales, with the Panorama interview, adding: “I don’t believe we did.”
He said he is “deeply sorry” to the dukes of Cambridge and Sussex.
And now Prince William has refused to comment on Bashir’s apology during a a week-long visit to Scotland. Over the weekend William visited Grassmarket Community Project in Edinburgh, where he was asked by a reporter whether or not he had seen Martin Bashir’s apology.
However, Prince William did say earlier that the way that the interview was obtained “substantially influenced.” He also says that it made things far worse for his parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and their relationship.
He said: “It is my view that the deceitful way the interview was obtained substantially influenced what my mother said. The interview was a major contribution to making my parents relationship worse and has since hurt countless others. It brings indescribable sadness to know that the BBC’s failures contributed significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation, that I remember from her final years with her.”
