The BBC announced Wednesday the immediate start of an investigation into how it obtained an explosive 1995 interview with Princess Diana that lifted the lid on her troubled marriage to Prince Charles.

英國廣播公司(BBC)週三宣布,將立即就該公司如何在1995年讓黛安娜王妃同意接受驚世專訪、揭露她與王儲查爾斯的婚姻問題重重一事,展開調查。

The late princess’ brother, Charles Spencer, has alleged that the flagship "Panorama" programme reporter who conducted the interview, Martin Bashir, showed him faked documents to persuade his sister to take part.

這位已故王妃的胞弟查爾斯.史賓塞宣稱,專訪黛妃的BBC招牌節目「萬象」的記者馬丁.巴席爾,曾向他展示造假檔案以說服他胞姊受訪。

New reports have surfaced alleging that Bashir used underhand methods to persuade Diana to talk, including by claiming her own staff members were being paid to spy on her.

新出現的報導指稱,巴席爾以不入流的手段說服黛妃受訪,包括宣稱她的幕僚收錢監視她。
