The Papers: BBC ‘let Diana down’ and Sunak ‘goes on attack’
News the BBC will pay damages to a former royal nanny and disagreements over tax in the Tory leadership race lead…
A number of the papers lead on the BBC’s apology over false claims allegedly used to obtain Panorama’s interview with Princess Diana in 1995. The corporation is paying damages to Tiggy Legge-Bourke, a former nanny to Princes William and Harry, who it was falsely suggested had had an affair with Prince Charles. In an editorial, the Daily Express welcomes the apology and says there are good reasons to hope the BBC has learnt from appalling mistakes that will never be repeated.
