	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Squidgygate
		Squidgygate - a name coined by The Sun newspaper - was the publication by tabloid newspapers in Britain in 1993 of taped phone conversations alleged to be between HRH The Princess of Wales and James Gilbey.
		One could conclude that, the damaging recording of Charles being known to have taken place, a counter-measure, flening the image of his equally-unfaithful wife, would be an appropriate tactic to ensure that the bad publicity was not all one-way: a clearly-scandalous phone conversation was taped and leaked to the press via an unsuspecting third party.
		The "Squidgygate" plan clearly backfired in two ways: first, the most damagingly explicit sections of the tape were withheld by the press; and secondly, a technical analysis showed that the conversation, supposedly recorded "live" by Reenan, was a rebroadcasting of a four-day-old edited tape recording.

	Squidgygate
		Squidgygate refers to the pre-1990 telephone conversations between the Diana, Princess of Wales and a close friend, James Gilbey, and to the controversy surrounding how those conversations were recorded.
		The publication of the tapes was a highpoint of the "War of the Waleses" that accelerated the separation and eventual divorce of The Prince and Princess of Wales.
		Amongst several relevant factors, there was a 50 hertz hum in the background of the "Squidgygate" conversation together with components in the recorded speech with frequencies in excess of 4 kHz.

	Squidgygate
		Published in The Sun on 23 August, 1992, "Squidgygate" (initially called 'Dianagate') was the front-page revelation of the existence of a tape-recording of Princess Diana talking to a close friend, who later turned out to be James Gilbey, heir to the eponymous gin fortune.
		Chance interception of high-level communication is not unknown: during the 1982 Falklands conflict, a radio ham in London had intercepted and taped a conversation between the then-Prime Minister's press secretary Sir Bernard Ingham and the Assistant Director-General of the BBC, in which the BBC was pressurised into sharing war footage with commercial rivals ITN.
		The "Squidgygate" tape, however, showed clear signs of having been doctored and rebroadcast on 4 January, 1990; four days after its initial interception on New Year's Eve, 1989.

	the Mail online
		The "Squidgygate" tapes may be aired fully in public for the first time at the inquest into the death of Princess Diana, it has emerged.
		At the last preliminary hearing before the case begins on October 2, Michael Mansfield QC insisted in the High Court that the tapes should be examined in full as evidence of Diana's state of mind.
		The "Squidgygate" conversation took place on December 31, 1989, when she called her close friend James Gilbey on his mobile while staying at Sandringham.

	nthposition online magazine: Squidgygate revisited
		There was a 50-hertz hum in the background of the "Squidgygate" conversation, consistent with the effect of attempting to record a telephone conversation via a direct tap on a landline, rather than from interception of a Cellular phone call.

		Squidgygate - a name coined by The Sun newspaper - was the publication by tabloid newspapers in Britain in 1993 of taped phone conversations between The Princess of Wales and James Gilbey.
		This view influenced the conspiracy theory that the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in Paris in 1997 was an assassination rather than an accident.
		Whatever negative impact Squidgygate might have had for the Princess of Wales was soon balanced by the publication of taped phone conversations between the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker-Bowles (Camillagate) which were very damaging to the public perception of his character and a source of much ridicule of him.

		Even Mrs Justice Rafferty eventually had enough, and allowed the fact that Diana's sister had asked police to search his home for a signet ring given to Diana by her former lover James Hewitt, of Squidgygate fame, to be presented in open court.
