The BBC will pay compensation to the former nanny of Prince William and Prince Harry. Last year an investigation came out that BBC interviewer Martin Bashir, who conducted the famous interview with Princess Diana, had misled the princess’s brother with information.

A BBC representative apologized to the British Supreme Court on Thursday morning for those statements and promised compensation.
“The BBC accepts that the allegations against the plaintiff were completely unfounded, should never have been spoken and that the BBC did not conduct enough investigations into the matter at the time. Panoramainterview with Diana, which was justified,” said the representative.
Interview with Diana in the news again
The interview with Diana, the ex-wife of Charles and the mother of Harry and William, has been in the news a lot lately. Last year the BBC investigated how the famous BBC interview was arranged.
It was previously announced that Mark Killick, a journalist who was fired after he expressed his concerns about the circumstances surrounding the interview, will also receive compensation. He had informed his former employer at the time about fake bank statements that had been used to coax Diana into an interview. He was fired, but last year the broadcaster concluded after an investigation that he was right.
Interviewer Bashir apologized after the outcome of the investigation. He said it was “stupid” that they forged documents.
