Earl Spencer has said he is “not at all satisfied” with the scope of the BBC’s investigation into the 1995 Panorama interview with his sister Princess Diana. The news came as a source close to Prince Harry said he is “getting regular updates” about the inquiry into journalist Martin Bashir’s conduct in arranging the landmark show. Spencer previously alleged he was shown “false bank statements” by Bashir and they were used to help the reporter gain an introduction to the princess. He tweeted on Friday night: “As I’ve told the BBC this evening, I’m not at all satisfied with the parameters they’ve set around their enquiry into the BBC Panorama interview with Diana of 25 years ago tonight. The BBC said Bashir, its religious affairs editor, is signed off from work relating to a coronavirus infection earlier this year and a quadruple heart bypass.
