Interview took place in 1995
Britain's Prince William says his mother Diana, was "failed" by leaders at the BBC, after an investigation found a journalist used "deceitful behaviour" to secure a 'Panorama' interview with her.
Interviewer, Martin Bashir, and the corporation as a whole, have apologised over the findings of The Dyson Investigation.
The findings included the revelation that Mr. Bashir produced fake bank statements to show both the Princess & her brother Earl Spencer.
The former BBC religion editor has described this as a "stupid thing to do" & "an action I deeply regret".
Prince William says he believes it holds "no legitimacy" and "should never be aired again".

Possible changes at the BBC will be considered by the UK government.
British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, says he's concerned by the revelations:

Graphic designer Matt Wiesler was asked to mock up the fake bank statements to encourage Diana to take part.
He says he was made a scapegoat after raising concerns with a boss:
