Princess Diana's open-hearted interview with Panorama in 1995 is still affecting the life of her firstborn, Prince William, more than three decades later. Newly released revelations from inquiry books and witnesses have reminded people of the program, revealing the depths of manipulation and lies that resulted in deep wounds and scars for the heir.
While the interview was regarded at the time as a courageous move of sincerity, it is now being interpreted by some as a betrayal with repercussions that were felt not only by Diana but also by her children. Narratives by friends and ex-assistants depict a mother who was lonely, scared and becoming more and more suspicious of her surroundings.
