Written and directed by Ed Perkins, this masterful documentary is the best one on Diana Spencer to date. It captured plenty of nuances, expressed and implied, about the life and times of this game-changing woman who came close to redefining the British monarchy.
The documentary contained enough archival footage to make it equally credible, entertaining, and educational. Aside from the Princess of Wales, it also featured essential footage of HRM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Charles.
Other notable appearances included Tony Blair, Hillary Clinton, Clint Eastwood, John Travolta (who famously danced with her), Luciano Pavarotti, Nelson Mandela, and Mother Teresa.
Great work on musical scoring by Martin Phipps. Editing and sound effects were exceptional. "The Princess" is streaming now on Hulu, via HBO Max.
This is the most definitive documentary on 'The People's Princess'. It revealed pertinent details not only about this inspiring woman's life and times, but also the circumstances surrounding her death. My opinion has always been that Diana was seen as a threat to the 'institution' - an opinion shared by many, I'm sure.
2022 gave us a handful of notable documentaries, and "The Princess" is right up there among the best of them. Diana Spencer was practically a 'social experiment' of what could go wrong if you put "a modern person in an ancient institution."
I'm still unsure how to understand it. Did Diana survive the British monarchy, or did they survive her?
