In the new book Dianarama, author Andy Webb details the complicated events that transpired to convince Princess Diana to give her now infamous BBC Panorama interview. In the years since, an investigation has uncovered the deceitful tactics BBC journalist Martin Bashir enlisted to schedule the exclusive sit-down. Now, Diana's former private secretary, Patrick Jephson, is reflecting on how a "chilling, creepy, and cruel" sequence of events caused his estrangement from the former Princess of Wales.
Jephson served as Diana's private secretary between 1988 and 1996. However, a breakdown of communication between the pair caused Jephson to resign from his position in January 1996. Following further revelations regarding the way Princess Diana was manipulated ahead of the Panorama interview, Jephson has reevaluated what really happened.
