It's My Duty To Stand Up For Diana

Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer has joined the chorus of critics of The Crown and confessed he is uneasy about her portrayal in the Netflix drama.

Charles Spencer, who has made it his mission to correct inaccuracies about her life, said it was his “duty to stand up for her when I can”.

The Earl, who said he worried many people would think her depiction in the hit show was true, last night called for the fresh probe into the BBC’s Panorama interview with his sister to be allowed to “examine every aspect” around the controversial programme.

Lord Dyson, a retired Supreme Court judge, has been appointed to lead the inquiry into claims BBC reporter Martin Bashir secured the interview using forged documents to convince Diana that her staff were betraying her and then covered it up.

Falsehoods

Earl Spencer wrote on Twitter: “As I’ve told the BBC this evening, I’m not at all satisfied with the parameters they’ve set around their enquiry into the BBC Panorama interview with Diana of 25 years ago tonight.
