1
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,640
INTERVIEWER: Did you know
what you were taking on in that kind of sense...
2
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,900
not being able to just
walk down the street?
3
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:42,713
No, I didnt.
4
00:00:42,743 --> 00:00:47,413
I dont think the Royal family
quite knew what to do with her.
5
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:50,347
There was just a really
frenzy around Diana.
6
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:54,194
It was like having a rock star
join the family.
7
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:57,361
The world was waiting
for someone and Diana delivered.
8
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:01,289
Did you find it
difficult to adapt?
9
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:04,499
I did, yes.
10
00:01:04,531 --> 00:01:09,741
Purely because there was so
much attention on me when I first arrived on the scene.
11
00:01:09,770 --> 00:01:12,740
The more the media attention
grew on her,
12
00:01:12,773 --> 00:01:15,613
the more troubles it created
in her marriage.
13
00:01:15,642 --> 00:01:17,182
As in all families,
14
00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:24,320
there will be jealousies
caused by this glamorous newbie coming in.
15
00:01:24,351 --> 00:01:28,151
WOMAN 1: She quickly became
one of the most famous women in the world.
16
00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:31,358
(OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
17
00:02:06,793 --> 00:02:09,093
Diana has no idea
whats about to hit her.
18
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:15,129
Shes only 21
and shes about to make her debut on the world stage.
19
00:02:15,168 --> 00:02:19,968
Shes embarking on
a six week tour of Australia and New Zealand.
20
00:02:20,006 --> 00:02:23,806
Its her first international
outing as Her Royal Highness.
21
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:27,914
Its an unbelievable
responsibility for a 21‐year‐ol
22
00:02:27,948 --> 00:02:31,618
and she has got to prove
she is up to the job.
23
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:33,821
MAN 1: Prince of Wales
lead the way.
24
00:02:33,854 --> 00:02:36,864
But it was his princess
who drew most attention.
25
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:40,090
Young Prince William,
after strong lobbying by his mother,
26
00:02:40,127 --> 00:02:42,587
was also allowed
to come on tour.
27
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:47,129
Charles was a veteran by then,
so he knew the ropes.
28
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:48,467
Diana didnt.
29
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:51,002
This was hugely daunting
for her.
30
00:02:51,772 --> 00:02:56,172
(DIANA SPEAKING)
31
00:02:56,209 --> 00:03:00,749
Pre‐Diana, there was
zilch interest in the Royal family.
32
00:03:00,781 --> 00:03:04,681
Along comes Diana,
and boom it all changes.
33
00:03:04,718 --> 00:03:08,448
The crowds went
absolutely mad about Diana.
34
00:03:08,488 --> 00:03:12,618
They came up with a name,
for it was Di‐mania.
35
00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:16,597
After the wedding,
the Royal family really thought
36
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:19,130
that the attention on Diana
would die out.
37
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:21,306
But Diana was
lightning in a bottle.
38
00:03:21,334 --> 00:03:24,244
She was so different
from the rest of the Royal family.
39
00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:27,641
Theres a big difference
between the queen.
40
00:03:27,674 --> 00:03:31,614
Shes sort of above
everybody else, untouchable, if you like.
41
00:03:31,645 --> 00:03:36,425
Diana comes in
and shes very much hands on.
42
00:03:36,449 --> 00:03:40,489
Diana physically embraced
the people that were there to see her.
43
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,360
The ways in which she reached
into the crowd to shake hands,
44
00:03:44,391 --> 00:03:47,331
and crouched down
to hug children.
45
00:03:48,295 --> 00:03:51,205
Dina herself was
totally overwhelmed
46
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,601
with just the intense
interest in her.
47
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:55,671
MAN 2: At
the Sydney Opera House,
48
00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:57,672
the drive through the city
brought the people out
49
00:03:57,704 --> 00:04:00,744
in their tens of thousands
to catch a glimpse of this woma
50
00:04:00,774 --> 00:04:03,244
the world had made
so much fuss about.

(CROWD CHEERING)
52
00:04:04,611 --> 00:04:06,141
KEN LENNOX: They were going
through the crowds.
53
00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:10,749
I took the photograph and
someone threw a small poesy of flowers.
54
00:04:10,784 --> 00:04:15,394
It flicked onto Dianas face,
and she got afraid initially.
55
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:17,862
But then she started to weep.
56
00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:22,492
(DIANA SPEAKING)
57
00:04:26,967 --> 00:04:30,567
WOMAN 2: There was
a kind of sense of an impostor syndrome,
58
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:34,014
that she didnt
really deserve this.
59
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,040
ELIZABETH HOLMES: In
such a short time,
60
00:04:36,076 --> 00:04:39,446
she went from being
a nursery teacher to marrying the heir to the throne,
61
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:44,549
to stepping into this global
spotlight with everybody watching her every move.
62
00:04:44,584 --> 00:04:47,724
I cant fathom
the pressure that she felt.
63
00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:51,122
JULIE MONTAGU: We all know
how it ends.
64
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:54,987
But its a mistake
to think that Charles and Dianas marriage
65
00:04:55,028 --> 00:05:00,128
was always sort of as bad
as we all seem to think.
66
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:07,066
In fact, early on there was
a real love connection and a closeness.
67
00:05:07,107 --> 00:05:09,137
PRINCE CHARLES: I was
lucky enough to marry her.
68
00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:12,915
And we had many, many messages.
69
00:05:18,218 --> 00:05:21,088
Its amazing what ladies do
when your backs turned.
70
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:28,592
Ive got lots of photographs
where hes just gazing at her,
71
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:30,498
looking into her face.
72
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:32,530
And, you could see it.
73
00:05:32,565 --> 00:05:35,075
Charles was in love with Diana.
74
00:05:35,101 --> 00:05:36,771
You cant disguise that.
75
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:43,509
There were real genuine
moments of happiness,
76
00:05:43,543 --> 00:05:46,983
especially when they were
with William.
77
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:50,553
Does Prince William
have a favorite toy?
78
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:55,853
Hes got a plastic whale
that throws things out the top, little balls.
79
00:05:55,889 --> 00:06:01,229
It was, in fact, the place
where William took his first steps.
80
00:06:01,261 --> 00:06:08,131
Charles wrote about it in
an almost rhapsodic letter saying how much fun it was.
81
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:12,906
Initially, she was
really overwhelmed.
82
00:06:12,939 --> 00:06:17,479
But the more she did it,
the more she became confident.
83
00:06:18,745 --> 00:06:23,285
It was the sort of crucible
for Diana to prove herself.
84
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:25,376
And she did brilliantly.
85
00:06:25,418 --> 00:06:27,288
Charles at first is
thinking brilliant.
86
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Shes such an asset. Fantastic.
87
00:06:30,557 --> 00:06:33,257
But then, of course,
things shifted again.
88
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:40,000
She obviously had to take
one side of the street
89
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:42,273
and Charles took the
other side of the street
90
00:06:42,302 --> 00:06:48,042
and there were audible groans
from people who got Charles.
91
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:53,984
She was horrified that people
were gravitating to her
92
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:57,924
rather than the
heir to the throne.
93
00:06:57,951 --> 00:07:02,821
Ive come to the conclusion
that really it would have been far easier
94
00:07:02,856 --> 00:07:09,036
to have had two wives to have
covered both sides of the street
95
00:07:09,062 --> 00:07:10,832
(CROWD LAUGHS)
96
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:14,904
and I could have
walked down the middle directing the operation.
97
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:19,774
He made light of it,
but it was something that bothered him.
98
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:23,916
Charles found it very difficult
to have Diana steal his thunder.
99
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:28,083
He had spent his entire life
as the star of the show.
100
00:07:30,417 --> 00:07:36,787
He resented Dianas popularity
because he thought that it was all sort of unearned,
101
00:07:36,823 --> 00:07:38,293
and he actually said,
"You know, what is it?
102
00:07:38,324 --> 00:07:39,794
"What is that they
love about her?
103
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:42,196
"I mean, all she did was
say yes to me."
104
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:45,802
(DIANA SPEAKING)
105
00:07:49,102 --> 00:07:54,642
The real shame is that he
didnt see the potential there for both of them.
106
00:07:54,674 --> 00:08:00,114
And how much Dianas star
power could have really benefited the Royal Family.
107
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:03,481
Balloons greeted them in Canada
108
00:08:03,516 --> 00:08:07,886
as the Princess continued
the process of being introduced to the Commonwealth.
109
00:08:07,921 --> 00:08:11,621
When the royal couple
got to Canada, Diana had changed.
110
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:15,228
There was a self‐assurance,
a confidence.
111
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:21,028
She was on the front cover
of every newspaper,
112
00:08:21,067 --> 00:08:24,237
every magazine,
all over the world.
113
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:26,910
The Royal family
wasnt giving her that feedback,
114
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:29,740
and it was something
she was craving.
115
00:08:29,776 --> 00:08:31,986
What a boost that
must have been.
116
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:35,311
As a young woman,
that would mean a lot.
117
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:39,918
She was beginning to realize
her own power, her own resonance,
118
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:43,563
the fact that people just loved
and adored her.
119
00:08:43,590 --> 00:08:47,730
Big Royal trip, Australia,
New Zealand, Canada.
120
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,630
Massive but massive, really,
only for one person.
121
00:08:51,664 --> 00:08:53,704
Massive for Diana.
122
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:55,203
Here they are,
123
00:08:55,235 --> 00:09:01,075
barely two years in
and Diana is becoming this global icon,
124
00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:05,207
and that really starts to put
a strain on their marriage.
125
00:09:05,245 --> 00:09:10,255
There was changing sense of
where the power and the love was
126
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:13,893
and that was going
to stay like that forever.
127
00:09:24,497 --> 00:09:25,827
Harry.
128
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:28,899
Harry, what are you
doing over there?
129
00:09:28,935 --> 00:09:32,305
You go to Harry,
cause I cant do it. Too heavy.
130
00:09:33,006 --> 00:09:34,946
MONTAGU: Here we are in 1985
131
00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:38,544
and Diana has the family
that shes always wanted.
132
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:42,978
Shes mother to
three‐year‐old William and one‐year‐old Harry.
133
00:09:43,016 --> 00:09:48,396
Diana was literally
night and day to previous royal mothers.
134
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:51,021
Diana ripped up that rule book
135
00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:53,687
and said, right, Im going to
be a very hands‐on mother.
136
00:09:53,726 --> 00:09:56,056
She worships her sons,
William and Harry.
137
00:09:56,095 --> 00:09:59,065
She felt that her number one jo
was being a mom.
138
00:10:02,135 --> 00:10:06,775
She was very demonstrative
towards them big kisses, big hugs,
139
00:10:06,806 --> 00:10:09,606
which we were really not used t
140
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:15,112
because in previous generations
of royal mothers didnt display their emotions in public.
141
00:10:17,584 --> 00:10:22,424
Charles was brought up in such
a different environment than the way Diana raised her boys.
142
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:26,095
The queen was largely absent
because of her work, her Royal duty.
143
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:29,065
There just wasnt a lot of
affection In his childhood.
144
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:32,860
ANDREW MORTON: She realized
that she had the opportunity
145
00:10:32,899 --> 00:10:38,239
to shape the future
of the monarchy through her influence on her boys
146
00:10:40,139 --> 00:10:44,439
One of the key themes of
Dianas life is a sense of abandonment.
147
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:48,347
She felt abandoned by her mothe
during the acrimonious divorce
148
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:51,151
between Earl Spencer and
Frances Shand Kydd,
149
00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:53,594
and she was determined
that her own children
150
00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:58,360
would have a nurturing
environment that they could grow up in.
151
00:10:58,391 --> 00:11:02,291
She insisted that they
go to school so they could mix with their peers,
152
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:04,928
that they werent off
in the palace learning from a governess.
153
00:11:04,964 --> 00:11:07,004
But they were out in the world.
154
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:09,703
She said, Im going to do
the school run,
155
00:11:09,736 --> 00:11:12,576
be it sports days
and school plays.
156
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:17,145
This made her exceptionally
relatable to ordinary people.
157
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,476
She wanted to make sure
that these boys
158
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:26,152
realized that not everybody
had the privileged life that they had.
159
00:11:29,155 --> 00:11:33,895
She took them not just to
amusement parks and hamburger alleys
160
00:11:33,926 --> 00:11:37,096
but to hospitals,
to homeless shelters,
161
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:40,700
to really get a sense of what
modern Britain was about.
162
00:11:40,733 --> 00:11:43,873
You can see today
that sense of compassion
163
00:11:43,903 --> 00:11:46,143
that both young men have got
164
00:11:46,172 --> 00:11:51,742
which is directly related
to their relationship with their mother.
165
00:11:51,778 --> 00:11:56,878
The public image
of the fairytale marriage was very rosy.
166
00:11:56,916 --> 00:11:59,616
Behind the scenes,
the couple were rowing.
167
00:11:59,652 --> 00:12:02,252
It was certainly
not happy families.
168
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:06,018
SALLY: In 1985,
they did a television interview
169

a strife in the marriage
were untrue.

176
00:12:25,178 --> 00:12:27,708
Charles and Diana
were fundamentally incompatible.
177
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,107
They were like chalk and cheese.
178
00:12:29,148 --> 00:12:33,178
The 12‐year age gap
in itself was problematic.
179
00:12:33,219 --> 00:12:37,889
Diana was 24, Charles was 36,
and he was an older 36.
180

that existed between them

was William and Harry,

and inevitably, tensions grew.
190
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:12,589
Diana did feel that
she wasnt getting enough attention from Charles.
191
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:18,205
We have to remember
that Diana grew up in a broken family.
192
00:13:18,231 --> 00:13:21,431
She wanted this close,
tight knit family.
193
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:24,367
That meant Charles
needed to be a part of it.
194
00:13:24,971 --> 00:13:26,141
But he wasnt.
195
00:13:26,172 --> 00:13:28,842
He was busy
doing his royal duties,
196
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:31,585

00:13:39,185 --> 00:13:45,125
I think, Diana felt isolated,
unappreciated, unsupported.

Diana wanted Charles
attention all the time.

She had this craving for love.
202
00:13:52,265 --> 00:13:54,635
And I think this is where
a lot of the friction happened.
203
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:59,737
In her sort of desire
to sort of draw Charles as close as possible to her,
204
00:13:59,772 --> 00:14:01,642
it actually pushed him
further away

because he was always in love with another person.

that all along

this sort of shadow of Camilla
was always there.

he was the love of her life.

she would never have dreamt
of looking elsewhere.

when she was in her early 20s,
328

she fell madly in love
with a man
329

that worked for
the royal household.

her behavior was unusual
when we were anywhere near Barry Mannakee,
337
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:01,427

00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:06,456
So I decided to talk
to her about it.
340
00:21:06,498 --> 00:21:08,398
And for the first 20 minutes,
341
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:11,444
she absolutely,
categorically denied it,
342
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:15,070
but then she told me
exactly what was going on.
343
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:19,007
She was having some sort of
relationship with Mannakee.
344
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:20,344
She was smitten.
345
00:21:20,379 --> 00:21:22,309
Shes having her first crush
after her marriage.
346
00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:24,378
She never had a boyfriend
before she met Charles,
347
00:21:24,416 --> 00:21:27,016
and shes living life
almost in reverse.
348
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:31,192
BIDISHA: I do understand why
someone like Princess Diana,
349
00:21:31,223 --> 00:21:34,093
who didnt have a loving husband
or a happy marriage,
350
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:39,326
would become susceptible
to looking at Barry Mannakee.
351
00:21:39,365 --> 00:21:44,345
Hes representing
everything that she doesnt have in her life.
352
00:21:44,370 --> 00:21:47,410
Warmth, strength, presence.
353
00:21:50,042 --> 00:21:54,382
My main thing was
to try and persuade her just how dangerous
354
00:21:54,413 --> 00:21:57,883
and impossible it would be
for her to remain with the boys.
355
00:21:57,917 --> 00:21:59,347
It was just lunacy.
356
00:21:59,385 --> 00:22:01,425
It was incredibly high risk
for Diana.
357
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:03,223
Its right under Charles nose,
358
00:22:03,255 --> 00:22:04,925
and it also kind of
makes you wonder
359
00:22:04,957 --> 00:22:08,357
about how much attention
Diana was getting from Charles
360
00:22:08,394 --> 00:22:09,994
if he was missing it.
361
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:14,229
ALLAN: The way
she felt was so strong, it wasnt going to stop.
362
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:19,296
We arranged for Barry
to be transferred away from the department.
363
00:22:20,773 --> 00:22:22,843
The excuse being used
to the Prince of Wales
364
00:22:22,875 --> 00:22:26,445
was his domestic circumstances,
the hours he was working.
365
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:33,924
They went on a joint engagement
and she was clearly very upset.
366
00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:40,257
The Prince of Wales
approached me and said,
367
00:22:40,292 --> 00:22:44,362
why is the Princess
behaving in the way she is?
368
00:22:44,396 --> 00:22:46,696
What on earth is the matter?
369
00:22:46,732 --> 00:22:48,572
So I said,
"Youve got to talk to her
370
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,000
"and, he said,
well, Ive tried all that,
371
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:53,375
"and the only thing that seems
to be upsetting her is that
372
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:57,245
"Barry Mannakee
is going back to uniform.
373
00:22:57,276 --> 00:23:00,346
"And if shes that upset,
Barry can stay."
374
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:02,649
At that stage,
I was forced to say,
375
00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:07,721
well, sir, if if he stays, then
Im afraid Ill have to leave.
376
00:23:07,753 --> 00:23:14,093
And I think at that point
the penny dropped.
377
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:16,066
He was utterly shocked
378
00:23:16,095 --> 00:23:20,635
and was clearly,
clearly very upset.
379
00:23:20,666 --> 00:23:24,546
The popular perception
is that the Prince of Wales
380
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:26,640
was straying all the way
through his marriage,
381
00:23:26,672 --> 00:23:30,812
and that is definitely,
unequivocally not the case.
382
00:23:30,843 --> 00:23:35,183
The first person that strayed
was the Princess.
383
00:23:35,214 --> 00:23:37,724
He went back to seeing
Mrs. Parker Bowles
384
00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:42,950
after when he learned
about her affair with Mannakee.
385
00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:44,888
Nobody is the villain.
386
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:46,624
In my view...
387
00:23:47,226 --> 00:23:48,836
everybodys a victim.
388
00:23:48,861 --> 00:23:51,531
He was under a lot of pressure
to get married.
389
00:23:51,563 --> 00:23:55,473
And she, too, was a victim
of this whole process.

(DIANA SPEAKING)
391
00:24:00,005 --> 00:24:03,145
I guess Prince Charles
never really stopped loving Camilla Parker Bowles,
392
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:06,415
and when the opportunity arose,
he went back to her.
393
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:09,585
When you analyze
these two different affairs,
394
00:24:09,615 --> 00:24:11,055
theres a huge difference.
395
00:24:11,083 --> 00:24:16,693
Charles was rejecting Diana
because he loved somebody else.
396
00:24:17,689 --> 00:24:21,129
Diana was never really
rejecting Charles.
397
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:25,027
She was just desperate
to be loved.
398
00:24:25,064 --> 00:24:26,264
For Princess Diana,
399
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:29,028
it was the realization
of her worst fear
400
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:31,668
because she had always suspected
401
00:24:31,703 --> 00:24:35,213
that Camilla was
her husbands great love.
402
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,510
SALLY: Diana was
at a really low end.
403
00:24:38,544 --> 00:24:40,384
There was even a moment
404
00:24:40,412 --> 00:24:45,052
when she took a pen knife
and cut herself.
405
00:24:45,084 --> 00:24:47,854
Her bulimia became very intense.
406
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:50,620
They were in Vancouver,
407
00:24:50,656 --> 00:24:54,896
and they were touring
this exhibition.
408
00:24:54,927 --> 00:24:59,427
Diana sort of moved
close to Charles,
409
00:24:59,465 --> 00:25:01,435
and sort of touched his arm

00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:05,197

to the floor and she fainted. ‐(SIREN WAILING)

the whole thing very seriously.

In slow motion, you can see
she was in some distress.

ANDREW:
Even though doctors advised that she stay in bed,
419
00:25:34,066 --> 00:25:36,676
Prince Charles insisted
that she accompany him.
420

of the whole affair.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
422
00:25:40,339 --> 00:25:44,139
Its really entirely due
to the extremely...
423
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:46,586
Advantageous conditions
424
00:25:46,612 --> 00:25:49,182
that pertain
in British Columbia,
425
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:52,624
which have ensured that shes
about to have sextuplets,
426
00:25:53,585 --> 00:25:54,895
which is really why she fainted.
427
00:25:56,855 --> 00:25:59,925
He showed a lack of sympathy.
428
00:26:01,059 --> 00:26:04,599
It was an indication
that he didnt care as much,
429
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:09,130
that something had gone out
of the marriage.
430
00:26:09,168 --> 00:26:11,998
Charles did not understand
her eating disorder.
431
00:26:12,037 --> 00:26:16,137
I think it was frustrating
and confusing to him.
432
00:26:16,175 --> 00:26:20,385
It was a very different era
where people didnt understand
433
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:23,482
eating disorders
very well at all.
434
00:26:24,449 --> 00:26:26,549
But he actually went
one further than that.
435
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:28,195
He made cruel jokes.
436
00:26:35,227 --> 00:26:37,387
Theres so much shame attached
to the condition.
437
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:39,559
Its pretty much the worst thing
you could say
438
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:41,768
to someone battling
that kind of disease.
439
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,600
Its her coping mechanism.
440
00:26:43,635 --> 00:26:45,805
She feels with her bulimia
441
00:26:45,837 --> 00:26:49,237
that she can control
something in her life.
442
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:50,744
So much of the attention
around her
443
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:52,786
was on her appearance.
444
00:26:52,811 --> 00:26:55,351
Her thinness
was often celebrated.
445
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:59,980
And it just continued
into a really damaging cycle.
446
00:27:00,018 --> 00:27:04,348
The royal family does not know
how to deal with this
447
00:27:04,389 --> 00:27:08,029
because bulimia
centers around emotions.
448
00:27:08,060 --> 00:27:12,660
So shes alone
and shes longing for somebody
449
00:27:12,698 --> 00:27:15,498
to love her and to support her.
450
00:27:15,534 --> 00:27:21,414
James Hewitt was this very
dashing, dreamy, 28‐year‐old household cavalry officer.
451
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,540
Diana first spotted James Hewit
on the day of Fergie and Prince Andrews wedding.
452
00:27:26,578 --> 00:27:27,978
He was on duty
at Buckingham Palace,
453
00:27:28,013 --> 00:27:30,413
and she sort of threw him
this flirty comment,
454
00:27:30,449 --> 00:27:31,649
"Nice outfit"
455
00:27:31,683 --> 00:27:33,053
something along those lines,
456
00:27:33,085 --> 00:27:36,125
and eventually invited him
to a drinks party.
457
00:27:39,157 --> 00:27:41,727
Knowing that James Hewitt
was a riding instructor,
458
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,000
she invited him
to give her riding lessons
459
00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:46,900
to help her overcome
460
00:27:46,932 --> 00:27:51,302
her long standing
childhood fear of horses.
461
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:52,736
He was someone who was fun,
462
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:55,171
who was unswerving
in his devotion to her.
463
00:27:55,207 --> 00:28:00,237
But also there was a tremendous
excitement and romance.
464
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,750
It was a major difficulty
for them
465
00:28:03,782 --> 00:28:06,222
to find somewhere
to meet privately.
466
00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:10,891
We would go to Windsor to meet
with Hewitt for riding lessons.
467
00:28:10,922 --> 00:28:13,322
Unlike Charles and Camilla,
who all their friends
468
00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:15,688
knew about their relationship
and would host them
469
00:28:15,727 --> 00:28:18,227
at their big estates and homes,
470
00:28:18,263 --> 00:28:19,963
Diana couldnt do that.
471
00:28:19,998 --> 00:28:22,468
Hewitt was put
in the boot of cars.
472
00:28:22,501 --> 00:28:25,401
He was driven
to Kensington Palace.
473
00:28:25,437 --> 00:28:31,477
She was invited to go to
his mothers house near Exeter where we would go for weekends.
474
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:33,810
It was a remote location,
475
00:28:33,845 --> 00:28:36,515
but it was always a tense time,
476
00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:39,718
because she was
very easily spotted.
477
00:28:39,751 --> 00:28:41,891
If the Princess of Wales
and Hewitt
478
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,820
went for a walk in the woods
or on a beach somewhere,
479
00:28:44,856 --> 00:28:47,256
she certainly wasnt looking
like a princess.
480
00:28:47,292 --> 00:28:49,762
Shes be in normal day clothes,
481
00:28:49,795 --> 00:28:51,535
hoody, dark glasses.
482
00:28:51,563 --> 00:28:53,503
The hair would be covered up.
483
00:28:53,532 --> 00:28:55,872
Although she may have
some romantic notion
484
00:28:55,901 --> 00:28:58,101
of going off with James Hewitt,
485
00:28:58,136 --> 00:29:01,366
I think she was also
very much a realist.
486
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:02,706
She was the Princess of Wales.
487
00:29:02,741 --> 00:29:04,541
She was the mother
of the future king.
488
00:29:04,576 --> 00:29:05,936
She couldnt just go off
489
00:29:05,977 --> 00:29:08,707
and live with this rather
impoverished Army officer.
490
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:11,547
There was no question
of divorce then.
491
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:14,153
And so it was a fantasy
for them both.
492
00:29:14,186 --> 00:29:16,756
Charles absolutely knew
about the affair
493
00:29:16,788 --> 00:29:17,958
and in fact approved of it,
494
00:29:17,989 --> 00:29:20,859
because it gave him
more time and space
495
00:29:20,892 --> 00:29:22,292
with Mrs. Parker Bowles,
496
00:29:22,327 --> 00:29:25,757
and amongst the aristocracy
that was the norm.
497
00:29:25,797 --> 00:29:29,827
And what they found
unfathomable about Diana
498
00:29:29,868 --> 00:29:32,538
was that she simply
wouldnt accept
499
00:29:32,571 --> 00:29:34,811
that this was the norm.
500
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,110
She did not want that.
501
00:29:36,141 --> 00:29:38,111
She wanted the life
that she had hoped for
502
00:29:38,143 --> 00:29:41,713
on their wedding day,
and she kept fighting for it.
503
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:53,789
SMITH: Diana and Sarah Ferguson
had known each other
504
00:29:53,825 --> 00:29:56,035
since they were teenagers,
505
00:29:56,061 --> 00:30:01,371
and Diana introduced her
to Prince Andrew.
506
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,870
She was the matchmaker.
507
00:30:05,404 --> 00:30:07,914
Fergie was very exuberant,
508
00:30:07,939 --> 00:30:10,269
and she was fun loving.
509
00:30:20,719 --> 00:30:22,289
How hurtful would that
have been?
510
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,420
Her own husband
was asking her to be more
511
00:30:25,457 --> 00:30:27,887
like this newcomer on the scene
512
00:30:27,926 --> 00:30:31,396
Fergie was a real outdoors girl.
513
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:33,800
The queen really liked Fergie.
514
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:36,672
So Fergie began to emerge
515
00:30:36,701 --> 00:30:40,871
as a rival to Diana,
516
00:30:40,906 --> 00:30:43,816
which began
to inject competition
517
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:45,912
in that relationship.
518
00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:02,234
Diana took her husbands
criticisms to heart.
519
00:31:02,260 --> 00:31:04,390
And when he said, "Why cant you
be more like Fergie?"
520
00:31:04,429 --> 00:31:07,399
She was like, "I can be fun,
Ill show you fun."
521
00:31:07,432 --> 00:31:10,472
SMITH: At Ascot,
there were pictures of the two of them
522
00:31:10,502 --> 00:31:14,342
poking friends in the bottom
with their umbrellas.
523
00:31:17,075 --> 00:31:18,815
MORTON: Dressing up
as police women
524
00:31:18,844 --> 00:31:20,714
and going into
Annabels nightclub
525
00:31:20,745 --> 00:31:22,715
on Prince Andrews stag night.
526
00:31:22,747 --> 00:31:24,677
SMITH: They were skiing together
527
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,146
and messing around
on the slopes.
528
00:31:30,689 --> 00:31:34,889
MORTON: All these
kinds of things irritated Prince Charles beyond belief.
529
00:31:34,926 --> 00:31:37,026
And Diana realized
that this wasnt really her.
530
00:31:37,062 --> 00:31:40,302
She wasnt this boisterous
Sloane Ranger.
531
00:31:40,332 --> 00:31:43,502
The press were calling her
"Disco Di"
532
00:31:43,535 --> 00:31:48,945
and she realized that she was
being perceived as frivolous.
533
00:31:48,974 --> 00:31:51,914
KAY: Diana actually had
an epiphany.
534
00:31:51,943 --> 00:31:53,283
She said, "I might be young,
535
00:31:53,311 --> 00:31:56,151
but I cant act in this way
that other people do."
536
00:31:56,181 --> 00:31:59,151
And it really set her
on a separate path.
537
00:31:59,784 --> 00:32:01,454
Most of her public engagements
538
00:32:01,486 --> 00:32:04,516
had been about supporting
Prince Charles in his duties,
539
00:32:04,556 --> 00:32:05,796
and she began seeking things
540
00:32:05,824 --> 00:32:07,564
that she herself could do
in her own right.
541
00:32:08,894 --> 00:32:13,064
Diana chose things which were on
the margins of things
542
00:32:13,098 --> 00:32:15,868
that traditionally
the royals have shied away from.
543
00:32:15,901 --> 00:32:18,371
People dispossessed by society.
544
00:32:18,403 --> 00:32:20,143
People whod been neglected.
545
00:32:20,171 --> 00:32:23,571
She wanted to help people
who were marginalized
546
00:32:23,608 --> 00:32:24,838
because, as she said to me,
547
00:32:24,876 --> 00:32:28,176
"Patrick, I can do this
because Im one of them."
548
00:32:28,213 --> 00:32:31,153
She understood what it was like
to be rejected.
549
00:32:31,182 --> 00:32:34,052
SMITH: It was a dynamic
in her marriage.
550
00:32:34,085 --> 00:32:36,095
The fact
that her mother left her.
551
00:32:36,121 --> 00:32:41,861
Feelings of being rejected
or abandoned were always there.
552
00:32:42,861 --> 00:32:44,231
MAN ON ADVERTISEMENT:
There is now a danger
553
00:32:44,262 --> 00:32:47,032
that has become a threat
to us all.
554
00:32:47,065 --> 00:32:50,535
It is a deadly disease,
and there is no known cure.
555
00:32:50,569 --> 00:32:54,139
In the mid‐1980s,
AIDS was massively stigmatized.
556
00:32:54,172 --> 00:32:56,742
There was a huge amount
of ignorance about it.
557
00:32:56,775 --> 00:32:57,975
And it was bound up
558
00:32:58,009 --> 00:33:00,279
with a huge amount
of homophobia.
559
00:33:00,312 --> 00:33:04,512
So gay men were represented
as being debauched and diseased.
560
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:07,049
REPORTER: The Broderip Ward
of the Middlesex Hospital
561
00:33:07,085 --> 00:33:09,955
is the only specially designed
AIDS ward in Britain.
562
00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:12,218
Today the hospital reckoned tha
the princesss visit
563
00:33:12,257 --> 00:33:15,757
was worth all the Government
propaganda put together.
564
00:33:15,794 --> 00:33:18,164
Diana is a heterosexual
princess,
565
00:33:18,196 --> 00:33:20,426
but she decides to take on AIDS
566
00:33:20,465 --> 00:33:23,135
as one of the main causes
shes going to champion.
567
00:33:23,168 --> 00:33:27,798
This shows you just how fearless
and radical she really was.
568
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:29,039
REPORTER: The male nurse
on the ward
569
00:33:29,074 --> 00:33:31,244
is himself HIV infected,
570
00:33:31,276 --> 00:33:34,286
spoke out to her about the myth
surrounding AIDS.
571
00:33:34,312 --> 00:33:36,882
I think the princess actually
help get that message across
572
00:33:36,915 --> 00:33:39,285
by the mere fact
that she wasnt wearing gloves.
573
00:33:39,317 --> 00:33:43,287
And she shook hands
with the patients and myself.
574
00:33:43,321 --> 00:33:45,021
REPORTER:
Such is the AIDS stigma
575
00:33:45,056 --> 00:33:47,286
that patients
in the new ward were afraid
576
00:33:47,325 --> 00:33:49,965
to be seen in photographs
with the princess.
577
00:33:49,995 --> 00:33:52,405
Only this patient agreed
to a still photograph
578
00:33:52,430 --> 00:33:54,460
and then only with his back
to the camera.
579
00:33:54,499 --> 00:33:59,099
The sight of her shaking hands
with somebody who had AIDS
580
00:33:59,137 --> 00:34:02,237
in the 1980s was extraordinary.
581
00:34:03,775 --> 00:34:06,345
That picture went around
the world,
582
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:09,208
and it immediately busted
the myth
583
00:34:09,247 --> 00:34:13,447
that you could transmit AIDS
via human touch.
584
00:34:17,789 --> 00:34:22,359
It was really one of the most
pivotal moments in her life.
585
00:34:22,394 --> 00:34:26,064
It showed her
that she had the power
586
00:34:26,097 --> 00:34:27,497
to make a difference.
587
00:34:29,567 --> 00:34:33,797
Diana realized the power
of her royal platform,
588
00:34:33,838 --> 00:34:35,338
and I think she was
at the forefront
589
00:34:35,373 --> 00:34:38,213
of this new kind of
celebrity philanthropy.
590
00:34:38,243 --> 00:34:40,813
Traditionally,
the royals supported causes
591
00:34:40,845 --> 00:34:42,385
that were very safe.
592
00:34:42,414 --> 00:34:45,784
The royal familys reaction
to Diana choosing AIDS
593
00:34:45,817 --> 00:34:47,317
and HIV as a cause was,
594
00:34:47,352 --> 00:34:49,092
"Why cant you do
something nice?
595
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,650
A little less controversial."
596
00:34:50,689 --> 00:34:52,359
But Diana just plowed on.
597
00:34:52,390 --> 00:34:54,890
She continued on
with what mattered to her.
598
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:58,256
The knowledge
that what she was doing
599
00:34:58,296 --> 00:35:01,826
was doing real good for people
who really needed it,
600
00:35:01,866 --> 00:35:03,826
it gave her
a sense of self‐worth.
601
00:35:03,868 --> 00:35:06,868
That was how she found
her fulfillment.
602
00:35:06,905 --> 00:35:09,615
It really informed her life
from then on.
603
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:24,754
REPORTER 1: Princess Diana
stepped off the Concorde
604
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,489
with the demure smile that
is practically her trademark.
605
00:35:27,525 --> 00:35:31,135
REPORTER 2: Her arrival,
broadcast live on every TV station in town.
606
00:35:31,162 --> 00:35:34,162
There she is, there she is.
Prince of Wales is in Manhattan
607
00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:36,969
In 1989, Diana pushed
behind the scenes
608
00:35:37,001 --> 00:35:41,741
to take her first solo
overseas trip to New York.
609
00:35:41,773 --> 00:35:45,243
This visit was
her chance to show what Diana could do on her own.
610
00:35:45,276 --> 00:35:47,406
And the stakes could not
have been higher.
611
00:35:49,247 --> 00:35:51,007
REPORTER 3: Princess Diana,
out on the town,
612
00:35:51,049 --> 00:35:53,379
turning heads
in her elegant white gown.
613
00:35:53,418 --> 00:35:56,518
New York is a famously
skeptical city.
614
00:35:56,554 --> 00:35:59,894
So to have the glitziest member
of the British royal family
615
00:35:59,924 --> 00:36:01,324
arriving in their city.
616
00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:02,959
Yes, a lot of them loved it.
617
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:04,264
But it wouldnt be New York
618
00:36:04,295 --> 00:36:07,005
if it didnt also provoke
a bit of criticism.
619
00:36:07,031 --> 00:36:08,471
SMITH: The New York Post said
620
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:11,470
that she was high priced
welfare mother
621
00:36:11,503 --> 00:36:14,773
who was living off
her husbands money.
622
00:36:14,806 --> 00:36:19,386
What can she possibly
be doing here thats going to make a difference?
623
00:36:19,410 --> 00:36:23,210
Part of her power was to projec
a glamorous image,
624
00:36:23,248 --> 00:36:25,548
and she did that in full.
625
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:30,153
And then she did something
that was the antithesis.
626
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:32,158
Diana confounded
expectations of her
627
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:34,260
because she went
to parts of the city
628
00:36:34,292 --> 00:36:37,132
where they would not expect
a princess to show up.
629
00:36:37,162 --> 00:36:38,502
Diana went up to Harlem,
630
00:36:38,530 --> 00:36:41,230
where she visited
a pediatric AIDS unit.
631
00:36:41,266 --> 00:36:43,136
REPORTER 4: The princess had
an emotional meeting
632
00:36:43,168 --> 00:36:44,928
with children suffering
from AIDS.
633
00:36:44,969 --> 00:36:46,439
She wanted to know
more about children
634
00:36:46,471 --> 00:36:49,571
whose AIDS was complicated
by their mothers drug abuse.
635
00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:57,207
I was eight years old
at the time
636
00:36:57,248 --> 00:37:00,348
that Princess Diana came
to visit Harlem Hospital.
637
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:02,755
And I was excited
that my mom would be welcoming
638
00:37:02,787 --> 00:37:05,157
Princess Diana to the hospital.
639
00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:09,290
She came in and she said,
"Where are they?"
640
00:37:09,327 --> 00:37:12,057
And we just took her
to where the children were.
641
00:37:12,096 --> 00:37:14,526
She could not wait to get there.
642
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:18,276
During the late 80s,
crack cocaine ravaged our neighborhood.
643
00:37:18,303 --> 00:37:22,543
And with the drug addiction cam
promiscuous behaviors,
644
00:37:22,574 --> 00:37:23,774
sharing of needles,
645
00:37:23,808 --> 00:37:27,208
really many of the modes
of transmission for HIV and AIDS.
646
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:29,115
It was a pandemic back then.
647
00:37:29,147 --> 00:37:31,477
When these children were born,
they were abandoned.
648
00:37:31,516 --> 00:37:36,096
Not only with HIV but also
severely addicted to crack.
649
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,490
As she went into the room,
there was a little boy,
650
00:37:39,524 --> 00:37:42,534
and she went over
and she picked him up,
651
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,300
And he kind of just held on
to her arm.
652
00:37:48,199 --> 00:37:53,539
And you could just see the love
that this woman had for humanity.
653
00:37:53,571 --> 00:37:57,011
She was letting people know
that you can be with them
654
00:37:57,041 --> 00:37:58,441
and you can love them.
655
00:37:59,911 --> 00:38:01,241
REPORTER 5:
Staff told the princess
656
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:03,679
they were surprised that shed
come to Harlem Hospital,
657
00:38:03,715 --> 00:38:06,355
a place never visited
by any American President
658
00:38:06,384 --> 00:38:08,324
and few major political leaders
659
00:38:08,353 --> 00:38:10,323
At the time,
even our own government
660
00:38:10,355 --> 00:38:12,325
hadnt dealt
with the AIDS crisis.
661
00:38:12,357 --> 00:38:13,957
They couldnt get a grip on it.
662
00:38:13,992 --> 00:38:17,192
She really gave it
the attention it merited.
663
00:38:17,228 --> 00:38:20,198
She chose to come
to a small community hospital
664
00:38:20,231 --> 00:38:24,631
in the middle of a minority area
during a crack epidemic.
665
00:38:24,669 --> 00:38:27,469
I cant say enough about
the courage that that takes.
666
00:38:27,505 --> 00:38:29,145
And I just thought
that it was amazing
667
00:38:29,173 --> 00:38:30,973
that she would come
to my neighborhood,
668
00:38:31,009 --> 00:38:33,209
and actually say,
"Let me see your struggle,
669
00:38:33,244 --> 00:38:35,584
and let me lend
some assistance to it."
670
00:38:38,716 --> 00:38:41,516
HOLMES: Diana had
proved her range that she could be
671
00:38:41,552 --> 00:38:45,492
the glamorous uptown princess,
but then also dive really deep
672
00:38:45,523 --> 00:38:49,233
into these taboo social topics
of the time
673
00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:52,530
and accomplish real good
in the world.
674
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:55,133
SMITH: The press
turned on a dime.
675
00:38:55,166 --> 00:38:58,126
Suddenly she was the one
the headlines said,
676
00:38:58,670 --> 00:39:00,170
"Di‐Vine".
677
00:39:02,407 --> 00:39:04,407
Dianas eight years
into her marriage.
678
00:39:04,442 --> 00:39:08,282
Shes come a really long way
in that time.
679
00:39:08,313 --> 00:39:09,853
She now feels strong enough
680
00:39:09,881 --> 00:39:13,121
to confront the major torment
in her life.
681
00:39:13,151 --> 00:39:14,681
And thats the other woman.
682
00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:22,095
SMITH: She accompanies
Prince Charles to a birthday party.
683
00:39:22,126 --> 00:39:26,256
And among the guests
is Camilla Parker Bowles.
684
00:39:33,538 --> 00:39:36,208
She went
and got a stunning outfit.
685
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:40,110
She went to Harrys and got some
very special lingerie,
686
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:43,184
because she had decided,
so she told me,
687
00:39:43,214 --> 00:39:47,124
that she was going to
make Charles realize what he was missing.
688
00:39:47,151 --> 00:39:50,351
Diana still thought,
as late as 1989,
689
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:53,188
that there might be a chance
to salvage something.
690
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:56,234
Its like entering
the lions den.
691
00:39:56,260 --> 00:39:58,500
Its like going into
enemy territory
692
00:39:58,529 --> 00:40:01,659
where everyone else
is in on the secret,
693
00:40:02,467 --> 00:40:04,397
but youre the butt of the joke.
694
00:40:06,838 --> 00:40:08,368
KAY: Everybody at that party
695
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:11,986
is part of
the Charles and Camilla axis,
696
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:14,280
theyre jaw droppingly
astonished
697
00:40:14,312 --> 00:40:17,952
when Diana marches downstairs
and speaks to Camilla.
698
00:40:17,982 --> 00:40:20,222
(PRINCESS DIANA SPEAKING)
699
00:40:25,857 --> 00:40:29,757
Just for Diana to
look Camilla in the eye and say her piece
700
00:40:29,794 --> 00:40:32,934
is a huge show of power.
701
00:40:32,964 --> 00:40:37,974
The key phrase in what
Diana says to Camilla is not,
702
00:40:38,002 --> 00:40:39,672
"I know whats going on",
703
00:40:39,704 --> 00:40:42,044
its,
"Dont treat me like a fool".
704
00:40:42,073 --> 00:40:44,413
(PRINCESS DIANA SPEAKING)
705
00:40:55,186 --> 00:40:58,326
The moment
Camilla basically said,
706
00:40:58,356 --> 00:41:00,366
"Well, you should be happy
with what youve got."
707
00:41:00,391 --> 00:41:01,791
Diana must have realized,
708
00:41:01,826 --> 00:41:05,166
"Oh my God,
this is going to go on forever.
709
00:41:05,196 --> 00:41:07,406
"Camillas not sorry.
710
00:41:07,432 --> 00:41:10,302
"Shes not even
pretending to be sorry."
711
00:41:10,334 --> 00:41:12,804
(PRINCESS DIANA SPEAKING)
712
00:41:29,654 --> 00:41:32,124
Dianas decision
to confront Camilla
713
00:41:32,156 --> 00:41:34,916
was, sort of,
a breakthrough for her.
714
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:38,829
From this point on,
Diana becomes increasingly disillusioned
715
00:41:38,863 --> 00:41:42,003
with the sham
that is her marriage.
716
00:41:43,968 --> 00:41:47,038
Shes about to take control
of her own story.
717
00:41:48,406 --> 00:41:50,076
Marriage offers stability.
718
00:41:50,108 --> 00:41:52,978
Here you have her husband,
the future king of England,
719
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:54,380
in love with someone else.
720
00:41:54,412 --> 00:41:56,682
She was like a tinderbox
waiting to explode.
721
00:41:56,714 --> 00:41:59,284
Isnt it normal to feel angry
722
00:41:59,317 --> 00:42:03,217
and want to change
a situation that is hurting?
723
00:42:03,254 --> 00:42:04,954
This was her
going totally rogue.
724
00:42:04,989 --> 00:42:09,689
She was risking it all,
not knowing where it would lead
725
00:42:09,727 --> 00:42:12,827
Diana is effectively
planting a bomb
726
00:42:12,864 --> 00:42:14,964
under the royal family.
727
00:42:14,999 --> 00:42:17,529
She wanted her truth to be told
728
00:42:17,579 --> 00:42:22,129
