Martin Bashir’s Diana interview: A timeline of the scandal
Martin Bashir’s explosive interview with Princess Diana made headlines across the globe when it aired in the 1990s and was viewed by over 200 million people.
Speaking openly about her marital woes and bulimia, as well as confirming the then-Prince Charles’ affair with Camilla, the interview served as a tipping point for the royal family and led to Diana’s divorce.
Nearly 30 years later, it has only served, as a 2021 report found that Mr Bashir had obtained the interview through deceit, after forging bank statements that implied Diana was being spied on by members of her household staff.
