Bashir apologises to William, Harry

Martin Bashir, the BBC journalist who tricked Princess Diana into giving an explosive interview, on Sunday apologised to Princes William and Harry, but said claims linking his actions to her death were “unreasonable”. A report by retired senior judge John Dyson on Thursday found that Bashir commissioned faked bank statements that falsely suggested some of Diana’s closest aides were being paid by the security services to keep tabs on her. Bashir told the Sunday Times, “I never wanted to harm Diana in any way and I don’t believe we did.”
