Description

In a Daily T exclusive, Camilla and Tim speak to Princess Diana’s long-time former private secretary, Patrick Jephson.


In 1995 the BBC journalist Martin Bashir convinced Diana that the trusted adviser was spying on her, in order to secure the now infamous Panorama interview. Jepshon left his role soon after and the Princess went to her grave believing he had betrayed her.


Thirty years on, Jephson tells The Daily T about his relief that the world knows about Bashir’s deception, his regret at never reconciling with the Princess, and the future of the Royal family.
