Prince Harry and Prince William Respond to Martin Bashir Inquiry

Prince Harry and Prince William have both released statements following the publication of the inquiry into how Martin Bashir secured his landmark panorama interview with Princess Diana in 1995.

However, according to royal expert Anna Pasternak, the Duke of Sussex's message may have been overshadowed by the release of his new TV show, co-created with Oprah for Apple TV Plus' The Me You Can't See.

Speaking about the brothers' approach to handling the inquiry's findings, Pasternak told Fox News that William's approach has deep roots and is dependable, whereas Harry is aligning himself with a fickle and shallow celebrity world.

She added that Harry's Oprah and Apple TV Plus interviews demonstrably now place him outside the monarchy, attacking and criticizing it.

In his statement, Prince Harry expressed his concern that practices used by Mr. Bashir to secure his interview with Princess Diana were still widespread today.

He stated that their mother was an incredible woman who dedicated her life to service, and that the ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately took her life.

He thanked those who have taken some form of accountability, saying that it is the first step towards justice and truth.

Prince William, on the other hand, showed a dignified and crisp approach to handling the BBC scandal, according to Ms. Pasternak.

The expert and author of The Real Wallace Simpson said that Prince William is a pure statesman who aligns with the monarchy and everything it stands for, duty and service, which bodes well for the future of the institution.

In his statement, the Duke of Cambridge claimed that the BBC failures contributed significantly to Princess Diana's fear, paranoia, and isolation that he remembers from those final years with her.

He added that he does not believe the Panorama interview should air again, but what saddens him most is that if the BBC had properly investigated the complaints and concerns first raised in 1995, his mother would have known that she had been deceived.

Prince Harry's statement was shared hours before Prince Harry and Oprah's docuseries was released.

In it, the pair guided conversations on mental health and well-being.

But they also spoke about their own approaches to mental health and therapy and opened up about their personal struggles.

Among the revelations made about his personal life, Prince Harry accused the Royal Family of total neglect whenever he or Meghan asked for help.

Speaking about attempts to be assisted from the firm in the wake of online abuse he and the Duchess of Sussex were suffering, he said that every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, to stop just got met with total silence or total neglect.

Prince Harry also spoke about being willing to drink and take drugs to mask his struggles when he was aged between 28 and 32.

And he said it was a fight with his then-girlfriend Meghan who led him to seek the help of a therapist.

Prince Harry and Meghan had already spoken about their struggles as senior royals during their interview with Oprah released in March.

Speaking to the US journalist, Harry said he had left the firm due to a lack of understanding and lack of support.

In conclusion, the statements made by the two princes following the publication of the inquiry into Martin Bashir's interview with Princess Diana have highlighted their different approaches to handling scandals and their positions within the monarchy.

While Prince William has aligned himself with the institution and expressed his concern for his mother's legacy, Prince Harry has taken a more critical stance and has distanced himself from the monarchy with his new TV show and interviews with Oprah.
