William’s Diana Panorama ban could lead to “slow rewriting” of her story
Prince William's insistence that Princess Diana's bombshell 1995 BBC Panorama interview should "never be aired again" could lead to the "slow rewriting" of her life story, according to a royal biographer.

Scobie's commentary in a recent column for Yahoo! News follows the BBC 's official apology about its conduct in handling allegations of wrongdoing in the methods used to obtain the interview with Diana.

Speaking to Fox News Digital ahead of the release of his new book, Diana, William, and Harry , co-authored with Chris Mooney, Patterson said the princess "tried to control" and was "troubled by" the feeling that Harry would grow up labeled as "the spare" while William was destined to become king.
