Martin Bashir, the BBC journalist who tricked princess Diana into giving an explosive interview, on Sunday apologised to Princes William and Harry
A report by retired senior judge John Dyson 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 then showed them to Diana's brother Charles Spencer and convinced him to arrange a meeting between himself and Diana.
Bashir told the Sunday Times he was "deeply sorry" to Diana's sons Prince William and Prince Harry but said claims linking his actions to her death were "unreasonable". He also said he never wanted to harm Diana.
However, both William and Harry believe the interview contributed significantly to Diana’s fear, paranoia and played a part in her death.
