Princess diana book andrew morton7/3/2023 The queen was baffled and concerned by the tapes that kept appearing. But Diana wasn’t the only one who was suspicious. We regularly swept Diana’s rooms at Kensington Palace for bugs. Morton said: “Martin did contribute to her sense of paranoia, and her sense of being watched and so on. Morton has done much to shine a light on Bashir’s malfeasance his 2003 book, Diana: In Pursuit of Love, devoted two full chapters to Bashir’s machinations. Last weekend, Earl Spencer said he had felt “groomed” by Bashir, and called for a new police investigation. Bashir falsely told Diana that Pettifer had got pregnant by Prince Charles and had had an abortion.īashir’s methods, an inquiry last year headed by retired British judge Lord Dyson found, were calculated to feed Diana’s paranoia, and included showing her and her brother forged bank statements to convince them they were being spied on by the British security services and betrayed by their staff. The BBC also agreed to pay damages to several individuals, including William and Harry’s childhood nanny Alexandra Pettifer, then known as Tiggy Legge-Bourke. Asked how he responded to William’s call for the interview to never be screened again, a request to which the BBC has now acceded, Morton said: “It is a supreme irony that it is her son who has led the calls to posthumously muzzle Diana, to silence her, to prevent her from being heard, from saying what she spent her life trying to articulate.”
