BBC apologizes to Princess Diana aide over interview deceit

LONDON -- The BBC said Thursday that it has apologized and paid a “substantial” sum to Princess Diana's private secretary over subterfuge used to get an explosive television interview with the late royal.

“The BBC apologises unreservedly to Commander Jephson for the harm caused to him and has paid his legal costs,” it said in a statement. “The BBC has also paid Commander Jephson a substantial sum in damages, which he intends to donate in full to British charities nominated by him.” A report last year by a retired senior judge found Bashir used “deceitful behavior” to get the interview, including showing Diana's brother fake bank statements that falsely suggested members of Diana's inner circle were being paid to spy on her. Judge John Dyson said the BBC obscured Bashir's misconduct for 25 years.
