If you think Bashir's a side issue, you've missed the argument completely. Why would Charles Spencer want it banned to suit his version? He was openly critical of the royals. When he made his first complaint, he was assured by the BBC that it had been fully investigated,and Bashir had apologised. He was never happy but there was nothing he could do. He never called for it to be banned. And at that time he didn't know that bank accounts etc had been forged. William never called for it to be banned.
It was only when Matt Wiessler came forward 25 years later that the full truth, which the BBC already knew, came to light. And both the extent to which Diana had been lied to and the cover up at the BBC was exposed. People had lost their jobs and reputations because of what Bashir and the BBC did.
It was then that William called for the banning of the programme. King Charles has never said anything.

Bashir and the BBC were a bloody disgrace.
