I remember watching the Parkinson interview. It was a few years prior to me coming on board, and like yourself i heard she was less than thrilled regarding his questions about Flo's passing. She even said in a later interview with The News of the World that she wanted to go back on the show to clarify some points. That never happened and i honestly do not know what her issue was. Parkinson was a thoroughly decent guy who had interviewed all the greats.
Fast forward a few years and Diana found herself face to face with Michael Parkinson at a charity function in London. It may have been the Pride of Britain Awards. Parkinson came over to Diana's table and re-introduced himself to her. It was all very cordial and Diana was charm personified. They spoke for several minutes and hugged each other warmly. Whatever friction there may have been in the past there was little doubt in my mind that it was very firmly in the past. It was a lovely evening and everyone was in good spirits. That's all i can really tell you.
