Martin Bashir has ‘gone quiet’ amid coercion allegations in Princess Diana interview

News Corp Europe correspondent Stephen Drill says BBC journalist Martin Bashir, who conducted a famous interview with Princess Diana in 1995, has “been quiet” amid allegations he used coercion to obtain an interview with her. It comes as the BBC is holding an inquiry into the famous Panorama interview – in which Princess Diana discussed her “crowded” marriage with Prince Charles - a quarter century after it was run. The inquiry is looking into the methods used to get Princess Diana to agree to do the interview with Mr Bashir, and whether he showed the Princess fake bank documents to attempt to make her “paranoid and angry with the royals, keen to get even,” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The allegation is that he used fake statements; so he made up bank statements – done by a BBC graphic designer – to say that there were people being payed to spy on Princess Diana,” Mr Drill said. “Martin Bashir, that man who was such a big figure and claimed the worldwide scoop … he’s been quiet in the past few weeks. “He says he’s had COVID and can’t agree to speak … we’ll have to wait and see what he actually does have to say for himself.”
