The Princess: The Story Of Princess Diana is a fresh account of Diana’s life and death told exclusively through contemporary archival audio and video footage. 

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Diana's death, which sparked a huge outpouring of public grief and left a lasting legacy on the royal family. But while the relationship between Diana and Charles, the Prince and Princess of Wales, was well documented over the years, The Princess: The Story Of Princess Diana promises to shed new light on their lives. 

Told through a series of real-time news reports and paparazzi footage, along with audio and video archives, this documentary reframes Diana's story by taking an entirely immersive approach for the viewers, covering all of Diana's milestones such as getting married, having her children and then the public breakdown of her marriage.
