Diana: In Her Own Words

The more we watch movies, series and documentaries about Lady Di the more we realize the abusive relationship and the toxic male that Charles has always been, cowardly, selfish, ugly, poor in spirit, stingy, poor Ladi, and alienates parentally by both families who should support her... Excellent documentary, practically only with lines from the Princess herself...

This documentary solidifies what I read in Andrew Morton's book many years ago. One wonders Diana's motivation for bringing out into the public all the intricacies of her private life. I imagine she felt completely alone, and I learned from the film that many in the monarchy blamed her for her failed marriage. This was a way for Diana to be heard. It really does make me look at Charles and the Queen as completely unaware, selfish people who completely disregarded (or didn't care) that Charles was marrying a child who may have needed more time and care to grow into her role as princess. He was too busy swanning off to his lover, Camilla.

In time, Diana was able to find her role in the monarchy: the People's princess. She seemed to have a genuine concern for the downtrodden, the marginalized. She related to them. So sorry that she left us so soon.

Finding out that Diana was the epitome of a pouty, immature, spoiled, mentally unstable, young girl, was a fun experience for me.

When she died, I had no idea who she was. To me, she was just another, ugly, rich person. I wondered why people found her so fascinating and why people cared about her death.

Seeing, "The Crown," season 4 and this documentary was eye opening.

This movie is well done and it's brilliant to be able to hear someone who is honest in their opinions . . . this is really why Princess Di was loved by so many.

Most of us are not best suited for any particular life, but we adapt. It's great to hear and see that "having everything," doesn't always mean what you think it means.

This is a great food-for-thought documentary. I can't promise you'll side with Diana or not, it leaves you to build your own opinion.

What struck me was that Diana knew what she was getting into, but marched inexorably forward as if she was powerlessly drawn to a destiny she'd chosen for herself as a child.

There's a compelling inevitability to the whole thing that reflects our own lives, and our own choices, back at us. How many times have you known that a certain course of action will bring you pain and suffering, and yet you continue down the path without heeding your better instincts? Perhaps that's the compelling factor in Diana's story.

We all know her story, from her royal wedding to Prince Charles to that fateful night in 1997 when she and her lover died in a car accident. But this very aptly titled documentary tells her life in her own words, based on the recorded interviews she gave one of her closest friends in order for Andrew Morton to write his best-seller : Diana, here true story. It is so sad to hear her voice, to hear about the terrible ordeals she's been through, to see those pictures with her kids. The ending made me cry, watching William and Harry walk alongside their father and grandfather behind their Mummy's coffin... This documentary is heartbreaking, from the first second to the last. She was such an extraordinary human being...
