Squidgygate - Earlier claims of Diana being bugged
Early in 1992, if Princess Diana herself is to be believed, several senior members of the Queen's household staff had met with Diana and told her of the existence of tape-recordings of her conversations at Kensington Palace. It was said to her that these tapes contained "damning evidence" of the Princess's relationship with the media. She was told that the Prime Minister (then John Major MP) had been informed, and that she would be given her own copy of the tapes in due course. A sympathetic courtier confirmed to Princess Diana that the tapes did indeed exist. But the day after the meeting, Diana was told that the tapes couldn't be used against her. She was advised that she should forget about them [20]
Diana's careful efforts to make sure that Morton's revelations were not traceable directly to her - which included using a friend, James Coldhurst, to run Dictaphone recordings to Morton [21] - had paid off.
Even Jephson was unaware of her actions till much later, stoutly defending her against whisperers: even though, as he adds, many in Palace circles went 'half-mad' trying to prove her involvement.
Andrew Morton's own speculation on the alleged tape-recordings of Diana's "damning" calls was added to the 1993 reprint of Her True Story: "Was Diana's telephone really bugged - and if so by whom - or was it an elaborate bluff aimed at extracting a confession from the Princess about her rumoured complicity in the preparation of my book? [22]"
Jephson himself recalled that he had heard "a vague rumour about some tapes" before, but had "dismissed it as just another among so many ghastly whisperings, gobbets of disinformation and black propaganda that were by then my daily diet. This time, however, the rumours were true and "Squidgygate" burst upon us. [23]"
