I think that there is a bit of a media confusion about the Harkles, the Harkles have nothing to lose now, mistakes are made in the aftermath of Oprah by the Royals:
A YouGov poll has seen a significant shift of opinion over the past two years

Facts, which are problematic to gather because personal biases, media with a political agenda, writers profiteering, disgruntled employees wanting revenge, paid marketing etc, tend to re surface when allignig random unrelated/related events, and horses mouth with the current ones.
April 1996 The Mail on Sunday published exactly what we know now about the Bashir interview, accusing BBC of manipulation.
Which means that Diana was alive and well, and was knowing that parts of Bashir information were lies, so did the Royals, and so did the rest of the UK, so did Morton in his books.
The divorce happened in August 1996.
The confirmation of Prince William was on March 9th 1997, and Diana and Charles look perfectly normal together.
The media game which for me is implied in the above seems to be another Royal attempt to win against the media with Wills statement against the BBC.
A game which the Royals tried to play twice before, the Squidgy tapes, and the aftermath of 1st. Mortons book, booth times in defence of Diana.
Factual for me because Diana gave a interview to Le Monde(Bashir made her do it probably) with Annick Cojean on the 27.August 1997, which created this:
Le Monde insisted yesterday that Diana, Princess of Wales, used the word "hopeless" to describe the attitude of the former Conservative…

and created the need for KP to save her sorry ass again, which they did.
It is a tangled Web of lies, entertaining because the Harkles are doing the same thing, what they are forgetting is that it's not the 90s anymore.
