The Princess (II) (2022)
8/10
Never before seen footage
14 August 2022
This beautiful doc is breathtaking because of its use of never before seen footage and audio of this revered figure. It is laser focused on her with only tangential footage of Camilla or other members of the Royal Family except when she is in the frame. I can't figure out if Charles ends up being despicable because he just is or if the director had an agenda to show him as a louse but either way, you won't be on Charles' side any time soon. There is even a bare chested peek at this Royal Jerk. The shots of the two sons are heartbreaking. The one shot of Hewitt, though relentlessly denied as being the bio dad of Prince Harry, makes it obvious that Harry's colouring didn't come from Charles.

Bonus plus is seeing the Queen, and even her mother, dancing at a ball. Fully dancing and moving gracefully in some sort of medieval type choreography. That was fun!

Why I didn't give it full stars is because there were many times I found the music score too loud and the main track of audio was impossible to hear. For example those infamous recordings of Charles and Camilla and again of Diana and her lover at the time. Couldn't hear. Even in the beginning, the score was way too loud over the narration. Too bad. Otherwise, a fresh glimpse into a modern day tragedy, as lovely and sad as we remember it.
