Prince William and Prince Harry issued separate, emotionally charged statements on Thursday, slamming the BBC and now-former BBC journalist Martin Bashir for the deceitful way the outlet obtained an interview with their mother, the late Princess Diana, in 1995.

Harry, the Duke of Sussex, said in a statement shared with HuffPost that the ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately took her life.

To those who have taken some form of accountability, thank you for owning it. That is the first step towards justice and truth, he said. Yet what deeply concerns me is that practices like these and even worse are still widespread today. Then, and now, its bigger than one outlet, one network, or one publication.

He added that, Our mother lost her life because of this, and nothing has changed.

By protecting her legacy, we protect everyone, and uphold the dignity with which she lived her life. Lets remember who she was and what she stood for.
