In addition to its apology to Diana's sons, the BBC donates 1.61 million

After the words, the gestures.

The BBC has announced that it will donate 1.61 million euros to associations formerly supported by Lady Diana.

The move came after an inquiry last year by Lord Dyson, a former judge, into how broadcast journalist Martin Bashir landed an exclusive and bombastic interview with the Princess of Wales in 1995. C It was on her show,

, that William and Harry's mother had detailed the flaws in her marriage to Prince Charles, and had launched this famous sentence: "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit much ".

The British public channel had apologized to the royal family and in particular to princes William and Harry, who had reacted strongly to the conclusions of the investigation.

The Duke of Sussex had notably declared that the "unethical practices" of journalists had "ended up costing the life" of his mother, while the Duke of Cambridge had expressed his "indescribable sadness to know that the acts of the BBC contributed significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation that I remember from my last years with her.

“Fair and Appropriate”

Martin Bashir had shown a fake account statement to Lady Di's brother, Charles Spencer, claiming two people were employed to spy on the Princess of Wales.

This falsified evidence had convinced the ex-wife of prince Charles to grant an interview.

The BBC announced that its pledge comes "from the proceeds of sales of the 1995

".

"After Lord Dyson's findings, we believe this is the right and appropriate thing we need to do," the channel added in its statement.

Seven associations will share 1.61 million euros: Centrepoint, English National Ballet, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, The Leprosy Mission, National Aids Trust, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and The Diana Award
