Earl Spencer has said he is “not at all satisfied” with the parameters of an inquiry into the BBC Panorama controversy surrounding the interview with his sister Diana, Princess of Wales. The broadcaster has appointed a retired judge, Lord Dyson, former master of the rolls, to lead an investigation into the Diana interview. But on Friday, Earl Spencer questioned the scope of the probe. On Thursday, TV watchdog Ofcom said it will not launch its own investigation into the BBC Panorama controversy, but will follow the independent inquiry “closely”. The Duke of Cambridge has previously welcomed the investigation, saying it “should help establish the truth behind the actions” that led to the programme.
