25 years ago, a BBC reporter conducted a now world-famous interview with the then British Princess Diana.

To one of the questions, she answered that there were three people in the marriage with Prince Charles - an answer that is considered to have led to the couple divorcing a year later.

The third person Diana referred to was Prince Charles' current wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles.

But now new documents, presented by Charles Spencer, Diana's brother, have been presented.

These are counterfeit bank statements which, according to Spencer, were used by BBC reporter Martin Bashir to get Diana to appear for the interview.

Interrogator again

The extracts must have shown something that was not true, namely that the British security police paid two people near Diana to obtain information about her.

Charles Spencer also believes that the reporter must have invented additional false information.

The BBC has acknowledged that the bank statements had been created by BBC graphic designers, but adds that they had already been internally investigated once before, in 1996. At that time, the company came to the conclusion that the bank statements had not played a role in the interview.

The BBC apologized to Spencer last week, and now a new internal investigation will be set up to investigate the circumstances surrounding the interview.

Reporter Martin Bashir can not be questioned at the moment, as according to the BBC he has become seriously ill with corona.
