The former journalist released a statement apologizing to the Royal siblings, claiming that he had nothing but love for their mother and there were no malicious intentions towards her during the 1995 interview. He added there was evidence such as recorded phone calls and stories that were not a part of his wrongdoing.
“I never wanted to harm Diana in any way and I don’t believe we did. Everything we did in terms of the interview was as she wanted, from when she wanted to alert the palace, to when it was broadcast, to its contents … My family and I loved her. Even in the early 1990s, there were stories and secretly recorded phone calls. I wasn’t the source of any of that,” he said to the Sunday Times.
