Revealed for the first time: the true story of the entrapment and deception of Princess Diana

The death of Princess Diana in August 1997 was one of the most shocking events in recent history. Many events surrounding the tragedy have been shrouded in mystery, particularly the BBC Panorama interview Diana gave to journalist Martin Bashir less than two years before she died. However, the true extent of the deception the princess experienced, along with the elaborate cover-up that ensued, has never before been revealed – until now.

Dianarama: Entrapment, Deception, Cover-Up: The Betrayal of Princess Diana is the story of one of the biggest scandals in public life and broadcasting history. It reveals a cover-up of staggering proportions, with questions that persist to this day.

Andy Webb, the writer and award-winning filmmaker who obtained the secret files that first broke the story of Princess Diana's betrayal, offers unrivalled insider access to the key players in the drama. In a thrilling first-hand narrative, he puts the reader inside the room where each key decision was taken. From the moment BBC reporter Martin Bashir first contrived his dossier of forged bank statements in 1995 to the 2024 courtroom where Webb faced the BBC's elite legal squad to demand the release of 10,000 pages of highly contested documents relating to the scandal.

A story for the ages, the fate of Princess Diana will be debated by scholars and gossips centuries from now. This book, filled with revelations not yet entered into the public record, will become a key part in the first draft of history.
