The explosive Panorama head-to-head — watched by 23million people — saw the Princess of Wales reveal she knew Prince Charles was having an affair with his now-wife, Camilla Parker Bowles.

The Earl said he was “groomed” into agreeing to introduce Bashir to Diana after being shown “forged bank statements” and “underhand payments”.

He added: “I was deceived in order to get to my late sister.

“She was extremely vulnerable.”
