‘Diana told me she never wanted to divorce Prince Charles’
Describing Bashir as “unreliable” and “devious”, an inquiry by Lord Dyson found him “dishonest” in using fake documents falsely indicating that people close to Diana had been paid to spy on her. Bashir denied spreading smears about the Royal family to convince the princess to sit for the interview, suggesting one of the “mystics and clairvoyants” could have been the source of the false information given to her. Among the smears were false allegations of Prince Edward being treated for Aids, the Queen suffering from cardiac problems, the monarch’s intention to abdicate, and that Charles was having an affair with his children’s nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke.
