"It's no secret that Diana has been cheated and given things, but I recently learned something very interesting. She said, 'I know how the royals react to this. And I said, 'They will now want me to divorce them.'"

Diana and Prince Charles officially divorced in August 1996, a year after her famous interview aired in which she said, "It was a bit lively because there were three of us in this marriage." The couple had separated in 1992.

Rosa Monckton, a friend of Diana's, said last year (opens in new tab) that the deceptive tactics used to get the interview convinced the princess that there was "a conspiracy against her." After the explosive interview, "hasty decisions were made about Diana's future with Prince Charles," Monckton wrote in the Mail, "with no thought for the long-term implications. In the midst of these decisions, Diana lost her royal title. Had Diana retained her royal title, she would still be in the royal embrace when she was in Paris on August 31, 1997. And, almost certainly, she would not have been in the incompetent hands of a speeding drunk driver."

After the BBC's findings were released in May, two of Diana's sons issued statements reacting to the findings.

"The interview contributed greatly to the deterioration of my parents' relationship and has since hurt countless people," the Duke of Cambridge said in a video statement."

"It brings me indescribable sadness to know that the BBC's failures contributed greatly to the fear, paranoia, and isolation I remember from my last years with her.

"Our mother lost her life because of this, but nothing has changed. By preserving her legacy, we protect everyone and the dignity with which she lived her life," the Duke of Sussex said in his statement (opens in new tab). 'Let us remember who she was and what she stood for.'
