Princess Diana's bombshell interview on Panorama is considered the most explosive revelation she made about her marriage with Prince Charles. Twenty-five years after the show aired and made everyone fall on their seat, a new Channel 4 documentary is about to visit this controversy that shook the palace to its very core.
The new documentary will be a four-part show that will thoroughly analyze the problems that plague one of the most famous families all over the world. The impact of Princess Diana's brave and unforgettable talk with Martin Bashir will also be "explored in detail."
A TV insider said, via The Sun, that the documentary will look at the years before and after the controversial interview took place. It will inspect the repercussions of her revelations about her relationship with the Prince of Wales.
The source added that the documentary's release is "obviously timed to coincide" with the Panorama's anniversary and the upcoming release of The Crown Season 4, which will delve into their romance. The tipster believed that it would be uncomfortable for the royals to see, coming at a difficult time when they are still facing the controversies surrounding Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew.
To recall, Princess Diana held the bombshell interview on Nov. 20, 1995. She bravely talked about the affair her then-husband had with Camilla Parker Bowles. She admitted that their setup was a struggle because there were "three" of them in their marriage, uttering her iconic line, "so it was a bit crowded."
Although Princess D knew that she would never be Queen if she and Prince Charles divorced, she hoped she would still be a "queen in people's hearts." Nine months after the interview, the ex-couple terminated their marriage, and she lost her HRH title.
According to 9Honey, the Princess of Wales might be very desperate to give an explosive interview. She didn't just talk against the Royal Family and her failed marriage, but she also admitted that she was in love with another man - James Hewitt.
At the time, she boldly said that she believed the monarchy was "losing its relevance." The then 34-year-old princess looked strained as she dropped "bombshell after bombshell."
No member of the Royal Family valiantly discussed personal and sensitive information about their lives until she did. Despite the royal protocol and strict guidelines, she managed to let Bashir come to Kensington Palace to hold the interview. Only a select few knew what was really happening with Princess Diana and Princes Charles' relationship then until she made it public.
