But he’s never before gone into detail about the remarkable documentary project he made with Patrick Jephson over 20 years ago. Now, with Patrick's permission, he will do. The highlight is the story behind an astonishing interview with Penny Junor and what it revealed about efforts to trash Diana just a few months after her death, as part of an operation designed by the then Prince Charles' most trusted advisors to boost support for him and Camilla.</p><p><br></p><p>It’s a dark and somewhat sinister story that infuriated Patrick, and it directly affected the upbringing of William and Harry and - Phil believes - lies at the heart of Harry’s own anger at his family. With Diana’s death anniversary in the news - and plans for a major biography by her brother for next year (the 30th anniversary of her tragic death), this is a story that will not be going away anytime soon.</p><p><br></p><p>You can watch the 2003 programme here...(FREE sign up required)</p><p>https://www.reutersconnect.com/app/item/charles-the-battle-with-diana/dGFnOnJldXRlcnMuY29tLDIwMDM6bmV3c21sX01UM1pJTVBMRUlNR05WSURNQU01MjI</p><p><br></p><p>Phil is then joined by his old friend and collaborator John Ware, one of Britain’s most distinguished investigative reporters. John has extraordinary access to details and personalities from the secret war in Ulster during the ‘Troubles’. In a new book he reveals some shocking and disturbing new evidence of how ‘agents’ run by the British state were allowed to carry out the most awful of crimes, and why details of that are still deeply protected.</p><p><br></p><p>John’s book is available here...</p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUjFQbWhZd0hkdGI3WjFubUNDNExDR3xBTl9pYzRmLS1SV3BrQzBNd1RtX0RRRFREb2hHdkx1YXE5aW0xTFJlYWpKMl9lRkplajJNVVNycFY1ajlrSG9ULVJKS2JfZTJjbHJ6a19PY0J3UWxKYnpvVGxMTWo5eU9EU21u&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FNeither-Confirm-Nor-Deny-Intelligence%2Fdp%2F1785375806%2Fref%3Dsr_1_3%3Fdib%3DeyJ2IjoiMSJ9.E3hJTNbpfAzxXbt8Xplsm6EAchC43dztwwK985hdWC5yEcZHAq1J0787s-OPUaQkB8aAkRpoY1K1OM7Crthxxkd6FJR_kQG9vI-wsqyiI7S1nQaJwz-oRIUJ8qTq0BIFeafLaG6b1C5E0WJ42aeZeG6r--9te2d1HGEwNlkeaLkXDDRkk8C8gEwqvQrfipldL733BejFloqgqm8ZiBQCdJ6cMLIi3AVi9r1z-knl1k4._2GBISnJH4Prgtv8132MAD72vu2bfXt334rfRBeXX6U%26dib_tag%3Dse%26qid%3D1788339320%26refinements%3Dp_27%253AJohn%2BWare%26s%3Dbooks%26sr%3D1-3&amp;v=a-1syXZANC0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neither-Conf...</a></p><p><br></p><p>Phil’s 2005 film on 911 is here...</p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0gGpyqIzN4&amp;t=4418s\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src=\"https://www.gstatic.com/youtube/img/watch/yt_favicon_ringo2.png\">&nbsp;•&nbsp;The&nbsp;Flight&nbsp;that&nbsp;Fought&nbsp;Back&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></p><p><br></p><p>There’s information and extracts from Phil’s own book here.
