Steve Davies lost job six months after journalist falsely claimed to the princess he ‘feeds [the] Today newspaper … change your chauffeur’
The BBC has agreed to pay “substantial” compensation to Diana, Princess of Wales’s chauffeur to settle a claim he was slandered by the disgraced broadcaster Martin Bashir.
The claim by Steve Davies, her driver for many years, related to allegations Bashir made to the princess and her brother, Earl Spencer, during a meeting in 1995 as the journalist was trying to secure his explosive Panorama interview with her.
