Over recent months, Prince William has stepped up in his role as a senior member of the royal family and has been spotted representing the Queen at numerous events, including at the final royal garden party at Buckingham Palace. And as second-in-line to the throne, the Duke of Cambridge’s royal engagements have given members of the public a good insight as to what kind of monarch he may be in the future, a royal expert has said.

Only a week after the head of the BBC pledged never to broadcast again its discredited Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales, it emerges that extracts from the 1995 program will be included in a documentary to be shown on Sky and Now TV next month.

BBC director general Tim Davie has pledged to "never" air Princess Diana's "Panorama" interview on the network again and urged other broadcasters to follow suit. Diana was interviewed by journalist Martin Bashir 27 years ago for the network’s "Panorama" program. An independent investigation conducted by Lord Dyson found that the public broadcaster "fell short of the high standards of integrity and transparency which are its hallmark." The report also found that Bashir used "deceitful behavior" to gain access to Diana, including allegedly forging documents.

BBC show to talk about the new series of his TV show The UnXplained. But host Roman Kemp was quick to bring up his trip to space - when he was 90 years of age. Shatner became the oldest person to go to space, breaking the record set only recently by 82-year-old Wally Funk, when he traveled in Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft last year.

“deceitful behavior” that Bashir, 59, used to procure the 1995 tell-all talk.A source close to the production revealed to the Daily Mail that scriptwriters of “The Crown” have woven in findings from the report into storylines for Season 5.“[The season] will dramatize events surrounding the ‘Panorama’ interview, given the pivotal part it played during the time period the new series covers,” the insider said.“It will reflect what we now know about how the interview was obtained and how Diana was treated,” the source noted.Diana’s brother Charles Spencer said Bashir, who no longer works for the BBC, used fake bank documents and lied about Lady Di being bugged by security services to get the interview. Watched by more than 23 million people in 1995, Diana said “there were three of us in this marriage,” referring to husband Prince Charles and his now-wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles.Once the fakery and lies were uncovered, the late Princess of Wales’ son, Prince William, asked the BBC to never air the bombshell interview again.BBC’s director general Tim Davie said in a statement on Thursday that the episode will never see the light of day in the future.

BBC has agreed to pay substantial damages to former royal nanny Alexandra Pettifer, formerly known as Tiggy Legge-Bourke, after airing “false and malicious” allegations that she had an affair with Prince Charles and terminated a pregnancy.

The BBC’s chief yesterday said the broadcaster will “never” again screen its era-defining Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales and urged other broadcasters to follow its example.

Righting wrongs. Prince Charles and his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, received an apology from BBC director general Tim Davie for the late Princess Diana‘s infamous Panorama interview.

The BBC has vowed “never” to broadcast Princess Diana’s 1995 Panorama interview with Martin Bashir again following the “shocking” revelation of how it was obtained, the corporation’s director-general has said. An inquiry led by Lord Dyson found the BBC covered up Mr Bashir’s “deceitful behaviour” to secure his headline-making interview with the Princess of Wales and “fell short of high standards of integrity and transparency.” The report said that the journalist was in “serious breach” of the BBC’s producer guidelines when he faked bank statements and showed them to Diana’s brother Earl Spencer to gain access to her.
