“There were three of us in this wedding, a bit too crowded”, there is no person who does not know the sad phrase said by Diana during that interview which, as is now known, was obtained by Martin Bashir with unorthodox methods, providing the Princess of Wales with false documents that led her to believe that Prince Charles had an affair with William and Harry’s babysitter. Prince William, as we know, publicly wished that this interview would never be broadcast again or spectacularized, precisely because it heralded the unfortunate destiny that would later belong to the mother: the first domino tile that, falling, caused all the others to collapse. As we know, unfortunately, his wishes were not respected, in fact Netflix will dedicate an entire episode of the fifth season of The Crown at that moment because, according to some insiders, it is necessary to understand the whirlwind end of the relationship between Carlo and Diana. It is useless to tell the reaction of Prince William, who, unlike his brother bound by a multimillion-dollar contract with the streaming giant, can defend his mother’s memory.
The BBC moreover, when the methodology with which Bashir had obtained the bombshell interview came to light a few months ago, she apologized by donating 1.5 million pounds to the royal family to be donated to a foundation of their choice. Almost all of the amount was the amount earned by the broadcaster thanks to the transmission and sale of television rights, and it will certainly not have served to repay the family for the stolen goods, but it was certainly a note of apology, if you do not certainly feel formally well packaged.
We do know, however, that the English broadcaster again entered a collision course with the Royal Family just a few days ago, when it broadcast a documentary about them in two episodes without first being viewed by them. Mind you, the BBC was not bound but apparently there was a tacit agreement between the broadcaster and the royal family, an unwritten contract that has always allowed the Windsors to preview material that concerned them closely. In response, the royal family has not been watching and “revenge, terrible revenge”, we know that Kate has granted the broadcasting rights to their highly anticipated Christmas concert, which will be held on December 8, in ITV the private broadcaster competing with the public giant, which is also one of the producers of the event. Yes, you got it right: BBC is co-producing the concert but will be broadcast by the competition. A bit ‘as if a Rai series were broadcast on Channel 5. Middleton knows how to take revenge, no doubt about it.
The point, however, returning now to the famous “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”, is that according to the British tabloids the BBC allegedly authorized Netflix to shoot the scenes of the famous interview in its own television studios.
A declaration of war, not too veiled. Because if it is true that the Bbc nothing can do on the contents of the streaming giant, as it is equally true that Netflix look at their interests and above all a narration that would be truncated without the famous interview, it is also true that the BBC he could not allow the use of his studies, reaching out to the royal family as a sign of reconciliation. This was not the case.
Who will win the war at this point is almost irrelevant because it is evident that too many are already irremediably wounded: Diana, for the umpteenth time, William trying to stem a swollen river that brings back terrible memories, and Harry who can’t even try.
We will see, as always.
