Harry’s Dilemma: William’s Frustration with Netflix Over Princess Diana’s Controversial Interview

Prince William finds himself in a difficult position as Netflix plans to dedicate an entire episode of its upcoming series, The Crown, to Princess Diana's infamous interview with the BBC's Martin Bashir.

The decision has left the Duke of Cambridge frustrated, given his strong stance against the legitimacy of the interview.

Despite Prince William's previous remarks in May calling for the interview never to be aired again, the streaming giant has chosen to include it in the fifth season of the popular show.

Expressing his discontent, Prince William, aged 39, stands by his belief that the interview holds no credibility.

His criticism stems from the 1995 Panorama interview where Princess Diana famously stated, “There were three of us in this marriage.”

Following Lord Dyson's report on the unethical means used to secure the interview, William condemned the BBC for their deceitful actions.

He highlighted the use of false documents, manipulation of his mother's fears, and the impact these tactics had on Princess Diana's words during the interview.

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, also weighed in on the matter, emphasizing the detrimental effects the interview had on his mother's life.

With a recent lucrative deal signed with Netflix alongside his wife Meghan Markle, Prince Harry echoed his brother's sentiments, stating that protecting Diana's legacy is crucial to upholding her dignity.

The couple's own experience with media scrutiny and mental health struggles, as revealed in their interview with Oprah Winfrey, further underscored the importance of preserving Diana's memory.

Despite the royal brothers' pleas to halt the commercialization of their mother's life, Netflix remains steadfast in its decision to feature the controversial interview in The Crown.

Insider sources revealed that the show's creators view the Panorama interview as a pivotal moment in the series, shaping the narrative of Princess Diana's final months.

The Crown has a history of delving into sensitive aspects of the royal family's past, often sparking controversy and reopening old wounds.

In a separate development, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become targets of a vicious online hate campaign on Twitter, with an estimated 17 million users potentially exposed to hateful content.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were subjected to harassment by a small group of accounts, with Twitter analytics highlighting the prevalence of racist language directed at Meghan, who is biracial.

The alarming report revealed that Twitter's algorithm inadvertently promoted hate accounts, leading to a surge in abusive messages targeting the royal couple.

As the world awaits the release of The Crown's fifth season and the resurgence of public interest in Princess Diana's tragic story, the royal family finds itself once again thrust into the spotlight.

Despite the BBC's acknowledgment of its failings in the aftermath of the Dyson inquiry, the repercussions of Princess Diana's interview continue to reverberate through the corridors of power and public opinion.

The enduring legacy of the People's Princess remains a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by the modern monarchy.
