This documentary was made to look back at the death Diana, Princess of Wales, twenty years ago. The aim? To show a new perspective of what happened, and how it affected her family, Britain, and the world. I went into this pretty much totally blind. I saw my Mother had recorded it and decided to watch it, just on impulse. I did not know what to expect of this when I first decided to sit down and watch this. Having been born only four days before Diana died, I did not grow up with the People's Princess, with her being around. Instead, I saw the pure love this country had for her. I just had to watch this, and take a look at what happened.This documentary treated everything with so much respect. I was shocked by just how tastefully this was done. The stories shown about Diana before and after what happened really made me see just why Britain, England and the world loved her so much – and still do. She was an angel, and this documentary really portrayed just how shattering her death was to the whole world. If you only watch one documentary about Princess Diana's death, let it be this one. This really captures everything about her, her death and her family. This really shines a light into what it was like, not only for her family, but her country, and the world. This is more moving than any sad movie could ever be.
August 31, 2017 marks the 20th anniversary of her horrific death in a car accident. There has been several documentaries to mark the occasion. This one is more personal as William and Harry share their memories of their mother. Others who knew her also got the chance to share their memories of her. There is footage in this account that I have not seen in others. Of the documentaries about Diana, I thought the best was "Diana: 7 Days That Shook the Windsors". That documentary left me shedding tears.
With it being the 20th anniversary of the very sad death of Diana, there have been many programmes on TV of late to commemorate what is still a very well remembered period in British history, with everyone seeming to have a memory of where they were then the tragic news broke.This documentary covers several themes/strands and is presented in as neutral a way as possible.It offers an interesting insight into the events that occurred after the tragedy, from a number of viewpoints.
