The first episode of the BBC's two-part documentary "The Princes and The Press," which began airing last week and focused on the surprisingly acrimonious relationship between the royal family and the tabloid media machine, also revealed some revelations. While it is widely acknowledged that the tabloid press's overzealous treatment of the royal family is over-the-top and inappropriate (Prince Harry once even blamed the media's "culture of exploitation" for the death of his mother, Princess Diana), this new documentary goes into some previously unheard-of details and at least one former investigator has apologized to Prince Harry for his conduct.

Private investigator Gavin Burrows, who worked with the publication throughout the 2000s, apologized in the documentary for the media's "ruthless" behavior toward Harry, according to People. I was basically part of the group that took away his normal teenage years," Burrows said. Burrows admitted that he hacked into the private correspondence of Chelsea Davy, a young woman Prince Harry had been dating and apart from for six years until 2011. 'There was a lot of voicemail hacking, a lot of monitoring of her phone calls and communications. Chelsea would brag to her friends about when she would see him,' he said."

Burrows added that he even delved into Davie's medical records, looking for information about sexually transmitted diseases and possible pregnancy. The former agent said he was "very sorry" for his actions and attributed part of the blame to greed and his own past drug use. I lived under delusions of grandeur," he said."

The first episode of the documentary discussed the enormous pressures faced by Prince Harry and the women he dated before his marriage to Meghan Markle (who herself experienced terrible press treatment). 'Harry's previous relationships with Chelsea Davey and Cressida Bonas both didn't want to endure the media scrutiny. 'Many of his friends were married and had families.'

While it is important to hold the press accountable for its contribution to the royal family's appalling treatment, the documentary itself is not doing well within the office, as the BBC, which produced and broadcast The Princes and the Press, refused to allow the royal family to view it before it was broadcast There were rumors of a "boycott" of the station within the Royal Household. The royal family issued the usual statement about the film, but the documentary is said to have further strained the already strained relationship between the royal family and the BBC since Prince William expressed his frank disappointment with the BBC's irresponsible handling of Princess Diana's Martin Bashir interview in 1995. The documentary is said to have been made in the UK. [Part 2 of the documentary will air on November 29.
