The Princess sent shockwaves through the monarchy with the Panorama interview, which included candid details about her marriage and Prince Charles's relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, his now wife. The 1995 interview is said to have had an 'extraordinary' impact on Prince William, then just 11. According to the BBC, Diana wrote a note saying she did not see the false bank statements and they played no part in her decision to speak with Bashir. Prince William said on Wednesday: “The independent investigation is a step in the right direction. “It should help establish the truth behind the actions that led to the Panorama interview and subsequent decisions taken by those in the BBC at the time.”
