BBC donate £1.42m proceeds of Princess Diana Panorama interview to charities after apology

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The BBC has donated a whopping £1.42million multiple charities linked to Princess Diana after the company apologised over their infamous Panorama interview.

The sum represents the proceeds from the 1995 interview with Diana and former BBC journalist Martin Bashir, which saw Princess Diana's shocking statements about her marriage to Prince Charles.

She told Martin: "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded". The BBC announced the money will be divided equally between Centrepoint, English National Ballet, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, The Leprosy Mission, National Aids Trust, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and The Diana Award.

This comes after the 25th anniversary of the Princess of Wales death, aged 36, on 31 August, writes OK! Magazine.Last year, a report by Lord Dyson concluded the BBC covered up "deceitful behaviour" by Martin, 59, to secure the bombshell interview and led to a call from the Duke of Cambridge for it never to be aired again.
