Yes, she did. The Morton book, that she engineered, was released 3 years prior to the Bashir interview.No but they are not making headlines, some royal doing an interview years and years ago is, she absolutely courted publicity anyway.
I still think it was a shitty thing to do by Bashir but what the hell was the now Earl Spencer doing when he encouraged it?
Is there no sense of responsibility anymore? Earl Spencer was the gateway to getting Diana to do that interview. He, as the closest of her siblings (yeah right....apart from when she wanted to get away from it all and stay on the Althorp estate) should have known it was a massive step and checked everything out.
But he didn't.
He has always been full of talk and no follow up.
