The Duke of Cambridge Prince William has vehemently blamed toxic media practices for his mother, Princess Diana's death.

Prince William specifically accused BBC of unprofessionalism during its interview with his late mother.

According to William, the BBC interview with late Princess Diana fueled her paranoia.

He also noted that the same interview made the relationship between his late mum and father worse.

The Mirror UK reported that Prince William noted that his mother was not only failed by a rogue reporter but also the BBC bosses.

William noted that he was very saddened by the whole issue because his mother Princess Diana was not aware she was being deceived.

This, he said he realised after an inquiry investigating Diana's death found out that indeed BBC fell below its standards with the interview.

Prince William strongly blasted BBC top bosses for overseeing a cover-up instead of fairly laying blame on the rogue reporter, identified as Martin Bashir.

According to Prince William, the failings only meant that his mother died not knowing she had been a victim of such deception.

The Met Police had earlier decided against a criminal investigation but disclosed it will jump to work after assessing the new report on Princess Diana's death.

In a separate statement, Prince Harry noted that his mother's life was taken because of the ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices.

While bashing BBC, Harry noted that such practices are yet to be shunned and have been widespread to date.

"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," Prince Harry said.

Legit.ng understands BBC has written an apology to Princes William and Harry, as well as the Prince of Wales and Diana's brother Earl Spencer.

In the apology letter, the BBC accepted that Bashir made the claims "intending to play on the princess' fears, in order to arouse her interest in him, and without concern for the impact on those he maligned".

In other news, Prince Harry recently opened up about why he made the decision to move from England to the US. According to Harry, it was the best choice he could make in his quest to break the cycle of family pain.

The Prince also said that he realised that his dad treated him the way he was treated by his father and so a toxic cycle was born, and - although he does not blame his dad for anything - he is determined to raise his son Archie and unborn daughter differently.
