The Sky Original explores the relationship between Diana and Charles, the Prince and Princess of Wales 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 but this is the first time the extraordinary events will be told both audio and visually.
Sky describes its creation as, "The story of Princess Diana is told exclusively through contemporaneous archive footage creating a bold and immersive narrative of her life and death. Turning the camera back on ourselves, the film illuminates the profound impact she had and how the public’s attitude to the monarchy was, and still is, shaped by these events."
It is brought to you from the Academy-Award and Emmy winning producers of Man on Wire, Searching for Sugar Man and LA92 and the Academy-Award nominated director of Black Sheep and Tell Me Who I Am.
