Decades after her untimely death, Princess Diana continues to evoke mystery, glamour, and the quintessential modern fairy tale gone wrong. As a symbol of both the widening fissures weakening the British monarchy and the destructive machinery of the press, the Princess of Wales navigated an unparalleled rise to fame and the corrosive challenges that came alongside it. Crafted entirely from immersive archival footage and free from the distraction of retrospective voices, this hypnotic and audaciously revealing documentary takes a distinctive formal approach, allowing the story of the People’s Princess to unfold before us like never before.

[HBO Max] What makes this documentary standout is the way it avoids being a biography of Diana of Wales, to show how her life was viewed through cameras, not just the media.

This view of a public figure from intimacy adds depth to this experience. There is a clear intention to show the points of view, often conflicting, among those who participated in the glorification of the princess. A glorification that is even more excessive seen with the perspective of the years, but that also shows the instability of an institution accustomed to controlling its image when a figure emerges that provokes, and also benefits from, an intense representation in the media.

very emotive, however I feel people may leave feeling misinformed because comments are made as if facts not to mention the panorama interview was gotten based on lies and fake documents created by the BBC, so the statements she makes in the interview are based on these documents?
