The BBC is to investigate allegations made by Earl Spencer that he was shown “false bank statements” to help encourage his sister Diana, Princess of Wales, to give an interview to the Panorama programme.

Diana sent shockwaves through the monarchy in 1995 when she told the BBC documentary “Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” a reference to Camilla Parker Bowles – whom the Prince of Wales later married.
