马丁·巴希尔（Martin Bashir）向威廉和哈里道歉，称他“不想伤害”戴安娜王妃

阿廷·巴希尔（Artin Bashir）向威廉王子致歉，哈里（Harry）说他“绝不想伤害”他们的母亲。这位在本周的英国广播公司（BBC）报告中受到严重批评的新闻记者说，他对所发生的事情“深感抱歉”。

Martin Bashir has apologised to Princes William and Harry said he “never wanted to harm” their mother.

 

The journalist, who was heavily criticised in a BBC report this week, said he was “deeply sorry” about what happened.

 

He told the Sunday Times: “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.”

 

He maintained Diana was never unhappy about the content of the interview and said they continued to be friends after the broadcast, with the princess even visiting his wife Deborah at St George’s hospital in Tooting, south London, on the day she gave birth to the couple’s third child, Eliza.

 

He told the newspaper he disputed William’s charge he fuelled her isolation and paranoia.

 

He said: “Even in the early 1990s, there were stories and secretly recorded phone calls. I wasn’t the source of any of that.”

 

He admitted faking documents to show to her brother in an attempt to secure the interview was “wrong” and said he is now concerned the scandal will overshadow the content of what Diana said in the interview.

 

“She was a pioneering princess. When you think about her expressions of grief in her marriage, when you think about the admission of psychiatric illness – just extraordinary! And her sons have gone on to champion mental health,” he said.

 

“I don’t understand what the purpose of this is ultimately? OK, maybe you want to destroy me, but outside of this, what’s the point?

 

“I did something wrong . . . but for pity’s sake, acknowledge something of the relationship we had and something of what she contributed through that interview.

 

“One of the saddest things about all of this has been the way the content of what she said has almost been ignored.”

 

The fallout from Thursday’s report into the bombshell 1995 interview continued this weekend as former BBC director-general Lord Tony Hall quit as chairman of the National Gallery.

 

Lord Hall, who was heavily criticised in the Dyson report for his botched inquiry into how the interview was obtained, said his continued presence at the gallery would be “distraction”.

 

The report by former master of the rolls Lord Dyson found an internal BBC investigation had covered up the “deceitful behaviour” of reporter Martin Bashir.

 

His resignation comes after another former BBC executive involved in the 1996 internal investigation, Tim Suter, announced on Friday that he was stepping down from his board role with media watchdog Ofcom.

 

Meanwhile, Diana’s brother Earl Spencer has written to Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick asking her to investigate the BBC

 

Scotland Yard has already said that it will assess Lord Dyson’s findings to determine whether they contain any “significant new evidence”.

 

Lord Hall, who in 1996 was director of BBC news and current affairs, led the investigation which exonerated Bashir, even though he had previously admitted lying about the fake documents he used in obtaining the interview.

 

He was director-general when Bashir was controversially rehired by the BBC as religious affairs correspondent in 2016 and later promoted to religion editor.

 

阿廷·巴希尔（Artin Bashir）向威廉王子致歉，哈里（Harry）说他“绝不想伤害”他们的母亲。

 

这位在本周的英国广播公司（BBC）报告中受到严重批评的新闻记者说，他对所发生的事情“深感抱歉”。

 

他告诉《星期日泰晤士报》：“我从不想以任何方式伤害戴安娜，而且我不相信我们会这样做。

 

“在采访中，我们所做的一切都是她想要的，从她想提醒宫殿的时间到广播的时间，再到其内容……我的家人和我都爱她。”

他承认伪造文件显示给她的兄弟，以确保采访是“错误的”，并说他现在担心这起丑闻会掩盖戴安娜在采访中所说的内容。

 

“她是一位开创性的公主。当您想到她在婚姻中的悲伤表情时，当您想到精神病患者的住院时–简直是非同寻常！她的儿子们继续捍卫精神健康，”他说。

 

“我不明白这最终的目的是什么？好吧，也许您想摧毁我，但是除此之外，还有什么意义呢？

 

“我做错事情了 。。。但为了可惜，请承认我们之间的某种关系以及她在这次采访中所做的贡献。

 

“所有这一切最可悲的事情之一就是她所说的内容几乎被忽略了。”

 

本周四，前英国广播公司（BBC）总干事托尼·霍尔勋爵（Lord Tony Hall）辞去了国家美术馆（National Gallery）主席的职务后，周四报告对1995年重磅炸弹采访的影响仍在继续。

 

霍尔勋爵在戴森（Dyson）报告中受到严厉批评，因为他对采访的获得方式提出了拙劣的询问。他说，他继续在画廊工作将是“分心的事情”。前劳斯莱斯大师戴德森勋爵的报告发现，英国广播公司内部调查掩盖了记者马丁·巴希尔的“欺骗行为”。

 

在辞职之前，另一位参与1996年内部调查的BBC前高管蒂姆·苏特尔（Tim Suter）周五宣布，他将辞去媒体监管机构Ofcom的董事会职务。

 

同时，戴安娜（Diana）的兄弟伯爵·斯宾塞（Earl Spencer）已写信给大都会警察局长克雷西达·迪克（Dame Cressida Dick），要求她调查英国广播公司（BBC）

 

苏格兰场已经表示，它将评估戴森勋爵的发现，以确定它们是否包含任何“重要的新证据”。

 

霍尔勋爵（Lord Hall）于1996年担任英国广播公司（BBC）新闻和时事总监，领导调查，令巴希尔（Bashir）感到无罪，尽管他此前曾承认撒谎是他在获得采访中使用的虚假文件。

 

当Bashir在2016年被BBC争议性地重新任命为宗教事务记者时，他是总干事，后来晋升为宗教编辑。

他认为戴安娜（Diana）从未对采访的内容感到不满，并说他们在广播后仍然是朋友。公主甚至在她生下这对夫妇的那天，甚至拜访了伦敦南图腾（Tooting）的圣乔治医院的妻子黛博拉（Deborah）。第三个孩子，伊丽莎。

 

他告诉报纸，他对威廉的指控提出异议，这助长了她的孤立和偏执狂。

 

他说：“即使在1990年代初，也有故事和秘密录音的电话。我不是任何一个人的源头。”
