The Princess

Telling the story of Diana, Princess of Wales exclusively through contemporaneous archival audio and video footage, the Sky Original documentary arrives exclusively on TV screens this week, straight off the back of its cinema release and in the month that marks the 25th anniversary of her death.

From their seemingly fairy-tale marriage, to the fractured marriage that followed and ultimately Diana’s tragic and untimely death, her life appears to have been explored in its entirety. However, The Princess reframes her story by taking an entirely immersive approach, drawing solely from audio and video footage from the time to take audiences back to these era-defining events as they happened, and in doing so, allows the narrative to unfold as if it were in the present. From the producers of Man on Wire, Searching for Sugar Man and LA92 and the director of Black Sheep and Tell Me Who I Am.
