Prince Harry said articles of this nature made him doubt some of the people closest to him, just like his mother Princess Diana felt.

Prince William had previously said: “I feel that the fraudulent way in which the interview came about was a major influence on what my mother said. The interview was a major contributor to my parents’ relationship deteriorating and has harmed countless others since. It brings with it an indescribable sadness to know that the BBC’s failures have contributed significantly to her anxiety, paranoia and isolation that I remember from recent years with her.
In his Netflix series, Prince Harry said, “I think she experienced firsthand how difficult this life was for her.” She felt compelled to speak out. Especially in this panorama interview. I think we all know now that she was deceived into giving the interview. But at the same time, she spoke the truth about her experience.”
