Dianarama often has the feel of a thriller… a well written, pacy book

Anyone who cares for honest reporting and the health of the BBC should read Dianarama. On one level it’s the definitive account of the BBC’s disastrous Martin Bashir saga and its consequences, by the man who exposed it all. It’s also a gripping tale of deceit, cover ups and that very British habit of punishing the whistleblower while promoting time-serving hacks!

Sensational. A vigorous and heavily researched read. As entertaining and energetic as a thriller. Webb juggles multiple revelations and unearthed seminal documents. In his meticulous and readable style and with his newly uncovered items, it is a shocking tale

Extraordinary, a shocking list of wrongdoing. Meticulously researched and carefully crafted. Webb’s sources are impeccable. *****

After 20 years investigating Princess Diana’s 1995 Panorama interview with Martin Bashir… the extent of his duplicity, as well as the BBC’s failings afterwards, is laid bare in this fine book

You close the book knowing that Diana Spencer would almost certainly still be alive were it not for the BBC's behaviour. If a member of the public like me feels, on reading this book, a fizzing rage and grief for poor Diana - what can her sons, brother and surviving sisters be feeling?

The Betrayal of Princess Diana

Andy Webb exclusively reveals the true extent of the deception Princess Diana experienced at the hands of BBC reporter Martin Bashir before giving her iconic 1995 Panorama TV interview, and how the cover-up that followed left the vulnerable princess to her fate. Andy Webb, the journalist who obtained the secret files that first broke the story, offers unrivalled insider access to the key players in a thrilling narrative spanning thirty years, from the moment Bashir made his first move in 1995 to the 2024 courtroom where Webb faced the BBC's elite legal squad to demand access to highly contested documents relating to the scandal. Filled with revelations that have not yet entered the public record, Dianarama will become a key part in the first draft of history.
