BBC to pay $2 million to charity picked by Royal Family over Martin Bashir's Princess Diana interview: report
Fox News
The BBC has reportedly agreed to pay $1.5 million to a charity chosen by the British royal family to make up for Martin Bashir’s controversial 1995 interview with Princess Diana.
The proposed donation is reported by the Mail on Sunday to be roughly the amount the network made for selling the global rights to the interview as well as reparations for its use. The royal family will reportedly decide which charitable organization the money will go to. Sources told the outlet that Diana’s sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, will have a hand in deciding how the money is spent. Representatives for the royal family did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. "This is an admirable decision, though obviously, it cannot undo the damage that has been done or erase the BBC's guilt," Diana’s close friend, Rosa Monckton, told the outlet.More Related News
