The real reason Diana tapes were shelved: Director claims BBC axed ‘dynamite’ footage amid fears of upsetting monarchy – despite spending £500,000 on programme
‘The BBC allegedly wasted £500,000 on a documentary featuring ‘dynamite’ interviews with Princess Diana – but later shelved it because it did not want to upset the monarchy, it has been claimed.
According to the director behind a controversial documentary about the Princess of Wales, the BBC went on to give a misleading account of why the programme was not broadcast.
The Corporation said at the time that Diana: Her Story, Her Words, due to be broadcast on the tenth anniversary of her death, did not sufficiently add to the story of Diana’s life.
But, in another controversial documentary being aired tonight, it is claimed the BBC stopped its broadcast amid fears it would upset the Royal Family close to Prince’s Charles 60th birthday.’
