7

-She carried herself almost like an angel,
8
00:00:23,823 --> 00:00:26,459
if an angel was a superhero.
9
00:00:26,459 --> 00:00:29,896

to change the monarchy.
11
00:00:34,567 --> 00:00:37,370
But soon, the weight of the crown became too much
12
00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:39,739
for this mere mortal to bear.
13
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:46,379
-The press is on her tail the whole time.
14
00:00:46,379 --> 00:00:48,281
She was not treated like a human.
15
00:00:48,281 --> 00:00:50,550
She was treated like prey.

we're looking back at the extraordinary life and legacy
19
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:06,533
of the people's princess...
20
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:08,968
-She was so fierce and so strong,
21
00:01:08,968 --> 00:01:11,671
and she could overcome anything.
22
00:01:11,671 --> 00:01:16,443
-...and how destiny took her from the world far too soon.
23
00:01:16,443 --> 00:01:22,215

Dodi Fayed, has also been killed.
29

Princess Diana died.
31
00:01:56,216 --> 00:01:58,351
A friend called me up to tell me,
32
00:01:58,351 --> 00:02:02,288
and I actually thought -- I misunderstood her.
33
00:02:02,288 --> 00:02:05,892
Could she really be dead?
34
00:02:05,892 --> 00:02:07,694
We were in disbelief.
35
00:02:07,694 --> 00:02:11,598
-It is this enormously shocking moment.
36
00:02:11,598 --> 00:02:15,068
This is someone who we have been following
37
00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:17,604
since she was 19 years old.
38
00:02:17,604 --> 00:02:20,707
-I was, like, 14, and I broke down
39
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:23,643
because I idolized her so much.

and just really getting her life started,
42
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:30,617
at just 36 years old with two young boys,

and finding her voice, died in a car crash.
44

It was just unbelievable.

Despite often being described as a commoner,
50
00:02:58,511 --> 00:02:59,879
Diana Spencer is actually
51
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:05,185
born into the British aristocracy in 1961.
52
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:06,753
-The Spencer family --
53
00:03:06,753 --> 00:03:10,757
they were kind of in with the royal family for centuries.
54
00:03:10,757 --> 00:03:13,493
They were really, really wealthy landowners.
55
00:03:13,493 --> 00:03:17,964
So she came from a very high-born family.
56
00:03:17,964 --> 00:03:20,200
-She was the daughter of an earl.
57
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,636
Even though she wasn't a member of the peerage herself,
58
00:03:23,636 --> 00:03:26,105
she grew up in aristocratic circles.
59
00:03:26,105 --> 00:03:28,808
Her family was very close to the royal family.
60
00:03:28,808 --> 00:03:32,011
Their estate, while she was a young girl,
61
00:03:32,011 --> 00:03:33,680
was on the Sandringham Estate.
62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,716
They were neighbors with the royal family.
63
00:03:36,716 --> 00:03:39,152
-She grew up nearby the royals.
64
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:41,421
She used to be taken to go play
65
00:03:41,421 --> 00:03:43,289
with Prince Edward and Prince Andrew
66
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,091
when she was a child.
67
00:03:45,091 --> 00:03:49,395
-At age 9, Diana is sent off to a series of boarding schools
68
00:03:49,395 --> 00:03:52,699
to help groom her for her life of privilege.
69
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:54,634
-It was the kind of boarding school that's like,
70
00:03:54,634 --> 00:03:57,604
"We are not here to teach your daughters academics, really.
71
00:03:57,604 --> 00:04:01,774
We're here to make them socially charming and graceful."
72
00:04:01,774 --> 00:04:04,811
It was essentially a glorified finishing school.
73
00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:10,350
-When young ladies of earls and and the aristocracy come of age,
74
00:04:10,350 --> 00:04:12,719
they are given their rightful title.
75
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,788
And Diana was Lady Diana Spencer.
76
00:04:15,788 --> 00:04:19,392
So this very much set her apart from normal, everyday,
77
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:21,327
common people.
78
00:04:21,327 --> 00:04:23,930
-Two years later, the 16-year-old's life
79
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:26,833
and the very trajectory of the monarchy itself
80
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:30,770
will change forever when Diana catches the attention
81
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:34,574
of a curious caller to her father's estate --
82
00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:36,876
none other than Charles, Prince of Wales
83
00:04:36,876 --> 00:04:40,446
and heir apparent to the British throne.
84
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,617
Charles dated Diana's older sister, Sarah.
85
00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:47,620
He came to visit, and Diana was hanging around.
86
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:51,624
And I think Charles was definitely caught by Diana
87
00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:53,526
and paid attention to her,
88
00:04:53,526 --> 00:04:56,696
which Sarah definitely didn't like.
89
00:04:56,696 --> 00:04:58,831
-Prince Charles was dating a lot of different women.
90
00:04:58,831 --> 00:05:01,367
He was out skiing and kind of enjoying,
91
00:05:01,367 --> 00:05:03,636
you know, his early 30s.
92
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:05,772
-He had a string of relationships
93
00:05:05,772 --> 00:05:08,241
that were documented in the press.
94
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:09,742
I think it was over a dozen.
95
00:05:09,742 --> 00:05:12,979
He actually proposed to two of them.
96
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:15,682
Sarah was ultimately deemed unsuitable by the palace
97
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:18,785
because she spoke to the press about their relationship,
98
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:21,821
which is the number one capital offense
99
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:23,489
in the eyes of the royal family.
100
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:28,461
So we needed to find someone who would do the job, not complain.
101
00:05:28,461 --> 00:05:30,663
-The queen and Prince Philip said to him,
102
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:32,065
"It is time for you to settle down
103
00:05:32,065 --> 00:05:33,466
and it's time for you to slow down.
104
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:35,134
You need to find a wife.
105
00:05:35,134 --> 00:05:37,670
You need to start producing some children. We need an heir.
106
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:39,672
You have to keep this succession going."
107
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:41,040
And that is when Charles decided
108
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,545
to get serious about finding a future partner.
109
00:05:45,545 --> 00:05:48,081
-A few years after their accidental encounter,
110
00:05:48,081 --> 00:05:52,485
Prince Charles begins dating lady Diana Spencer.
111
00:05:52,485 --> 00:05:54,587
-When you date someone in the royal family,
112
00:05:54,587 --> 00:05:56,856
you're not going on dates.
113
00:05:56,856 --> 00:06:01,961
You are having chaperoned encounters with said royal.
114
00:06:01,961 --> 00:06:05,365
So they would do things like go to the theater.
115
00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:07,734
She would go watch him play polo.
116
00:06:07,734 --> 00:06:11,871
She would go to his family's estate, Balmoral.
117
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:17,243
-The royal family is impressed with Charles's new paramour.
118
00:06:17,243 --> 00:06:18,711
-When Diana first met
119
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:21,981
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, at the time,
120
00:06:21,981 --> 00:06:25,451
all accounts say that she was really charming.
121
00:06:25,451 --> 00:06:27,353
The entire family was enchanted by her.
122
00:06:27,353 --> 00:06:30,656
But apparently, Prince Philip was particularly charmed
123
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:32,859
and was the one who really encouraged his son
124
00:06:32,859 --> 00:06:35,495
that she was the one and that he needed to move forward
125
00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:38,998
with potentially proposing to her.
126
00:06:38,998 --> 00:06:41,601
-I think she looked, to a lot of people on paper,
127
00:06:41,601 --> 00:06:43,770
like a perfect royal match.
128
00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:47,774
She was from this established royal family.
129
00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:51,277
She was beautiful and young and innocent.
130
00:06:51,277 --> 00:06:55,415
She was so young that she had never had a serious boyfriend.
131
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:57,884
There was no checkered past that could come out
132
00:06:57,884 --> 00:07:01,120
and embarrass the royal family.
133
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,657
-Diana is immediately thrust into the white-hot spotlight
134
00:07:04,657 --> 00:07:07,493
of the London tabloids --
135
00:07:07,493 --> 00:07:09,462
a place she'll painfully navigate
136
00:07:09,462 --> 00:07:11,864

Who is this woman that captured Prince Charles's heart?
141

This was all new to Princess Diana.
142
00:07:36,622 --> 00:07:38,724
She got that nickname, Shy Di, because
143
00:07:38,724 --> 00:07:40,426
she was always turning her head to the side
144
00:07:40,426 --> 00:07:44,430
because she didn't really know how to interact with the media.
145
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:47,433
-She graduates and she takes herself off to London,
146

where she sort of flits around from job to job.
147

She works as a maid cleaning her sister's house.

She has a flat that she rents out to some of her friends.

Eventually, she gets a job as an assistant teacher

in this 1980 image, it causes a media sensation.
153
00:08:09,288 --> 00:08:10,723
-The story is that Diana
154
00:08:10,723 --> 00:08:13,292
was working at her kindergarten classroom
155
00:08:13,292 --> 00:08:18,598
and a photographer showed up and asked her to come outside
156
00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:20,700
and take a few pictures for him.
157
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:22,902
She's sort of playing with some of the kids,

00:08:24,871 --> 00:08:26,806
the sun comes out from behind a cloud
160
00:08:26,806 --> 00:08:28,808
and it backlights this long skirt
161
00:08:28,808 --> 00:08:33,579
that she is wearing, and her legs become visible.
162
00:08:33,579 --> 00:08:35,615
-And this was considered quite scandalous.
163
00:08:35,615 --> 00:08:37,183
For a possible future queen
164
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:40,419
to be having her silhouette all out there in the open,
165
00:08:40,419 --> 00:08:43,089
ooh, that was quite a moment.
166
00:08:43,089 --> 00:08:45,791

00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:51,664
They are following her everywhere she goes.
169

hounding her at her apartment.
171
00:09:11,984 --> 00:09:14,020
They even rented a flat opposite her
172
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:17,089
so that they could get shots through the window.
173
00:09:18,891 --> 00:09:20,960
-But the unwanted attention does little
174
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,597
to discourage her relationship with the prince.
175
00:09:24,597 --> 00:09:26,699
-Diana and Prince Charles's romance
176
00:09:26,699 --> 00:09:29,035
was definitely a whirlwind.
177
00:09:29,035 --> 00:09:32,305
-It really harkened back to the courtships
178
00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:37,910
and arranged marriages of old in royal and aristocratic circles.
179
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:41,013
-Then, on February 3rd, 1981,
180

after just five months of dating,
181
00:09:43,049 --> 00:09:46,085
the public finally gets its wish.
182
00:09:47,887 --> 00:09:49,555
-Charles proposed to Diana.
183
00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:53,059
He did not get down on one knee, and he did not have a ring.
184
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:56,662
It wasn't posed as a romantic question.
185
00:09:56,662 --> 00:09:59,932
It was kind of floated as an idea of,
186
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,334
"Well, what if you married me
187
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:03,502
and became the Princess of Wales?"
188
00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:07,440
So, yeah, not your typical fairy-tale proposal.
189
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,744
-Lady Di said that it genuinely felt as if she
190
00:10:11,744 --> 00:10:13,379
and Charles were in love with each other.
191
00:10:13,379 --> 00:10:16,282
She didn't really understand the world in the way that he had.
192
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:18,284
He'd already had multiple lovers.
193
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:20,653
He had had a great deal of adventures.
194
00:10:20,653 --> 00:10:25,124
And he also understood duty. And he knew what he had to do.
195
00:10:25,124 --> 00:10:27,259
Lady Diana -- she was much more naive.
196
00:10:27,259 --> 00:10:29,028
She was going in with a lot of hope.
197
00:10:29,028 --> 00:10:30,496
-Three weeks later,
198
00:10:30,496 --> 00:10:33,132
Charles and Diana give their first official interview
199
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:36,102
announcing their engagement to the world.
200
00:10:36,102 --> 00:10:37,737
-During that interview, you definitely see
201
00:10:37,737 --> 00:10:39,572
the Shy Di still.
202
00:10:39,572 --> 00:10:42,008
She's very timid, very reserved,
203
00:10:42,008 --> 00:10:43,909
kind of letting Charles take that lead
204
00:10:43,909 --> 00:10:45,511
because she doesn't really know the ins and outs
205
00:10:45,511 --> 00:10:48,014
of the royal family yet, and you have to remember,
206
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:50,282
she's kind of coming into her own as a woman, as well,
207
00:10:50,282 --> 00:10:52,284
and kind of figuring out who she is.
208
00:10:52,284 --> 00:10:56,022
-Do you find it a daunting experience that, yesterday,
209
00:10:56,022 --> 00:10:59,291
you were a nanny looking after children
210
00:10:59,291 --> 00:11:02,561
and now you're about to marry the Prince of Wales
211
00:11:02,561 --> 00:11:06,666
and one day would, in all likelihood, be queen?
212
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:09,935
It's a tremendous change for someone, if I may say, of 19
213
00:11:09,935 --> 00:11:13,239
to make all of a sudden -- the transition.
214
00:11:21,947 --> 00:11:25,051
-She is 19. He is 31.
215
00:11:25,051 --> 00:11:29,689
So for Diana, Charles is this dashing, handsome,
216
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:31,624
worldly heir to the throne.
217
00:11:31,624 --> 00:11:35,795
And I think Charles seems very flattered by this beautiful,
218
00:11:35,795 --> 00:11:37,430
naive young girl
219
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:40,332
looking up at him like he'd built the world for her.
220
00:12:01,821 --> 00:12:03,622
-You can see her face in that moment.
221
00:12:03,622 --> 00:12:05,858
She's like, "Huh?" Like, "What?"
222
00:12:05,858 --> 00:12:07,793
"Whatever in love means."
223
00:12:07,793 --> 00:12:09,528
And she kind of nods.
224
00:12:09,528 --> 00:12:13,733
That was, for her, a giant red flag, where she was like,
225
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:15,701
"What does he mean by that?"
226
00:12:15,701 --> 00:12:19,905
-She later says, the world just came crashing down for her.
227
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:22,041
And she knew, in that moment,
228
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:26,345
that this was not what she had wanted.
229
00:12:26,345 --> 00:12:27,646
-At that moment,
230
00:12:27,646 --> 00:12:33,219
he would become the villain in this story forever.
231
00:12:33,219 --> 00:12:35,387
-Although Charles chooses Diana,
232
00:12:35,387 --> 00:12:38,224
the teenager has no idea her fiancé's heart
233
00:12:38,224 --> 00:12:42,528
still belongs to one of his old flames.
234
00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:46,665
-Charles had an ongoing relationship with Camilla Shand,
235
00:12:46,665 --> 00:12:50,236
later Camilla Parker Bowles, throughout the 1970s.
236
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:52,271
She was a lot like him.
237
00:12:52,271 --> 00:12:54,073
They shared a sense of humor.
238
00:12:54,073 --> 00:12:57,409
They shared a love for English countryside life.
239
00:12:57,409 --> 00:13:01,747
And she was able to relate to him in ways that other women
240
00:13:01,747 --> 00:13:03,482
that he had dated weren't.
241
00:13:03,482 --> 00:13:07,119
-Though Charles and Camilla had dated for almost 18 months,
242
00:13:07,119 --> 00:13:10,456
the prince stops just short of proposing.
243
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:13,425
-The royals had a few issues with Camilla Parker,
244
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:16,529
and I think his family made it very clear to him
245
00:13:16,529 --> 00:13:19,331
that she was not the right choice for him.
246
00:13:19,331 --> 00:13:23,769
-Then, in 1973, while Charles is at sea with the Royal Navy,
247
00:13:23,769 --> 00:13:27,573
Camilla receives a marriage proposal from another suitor --
248
00:13:27,573 --> 00:13:32,711
British Army Officer Andrew Parker Bowles.
249
00:13:32,711 --> 00:13:33,979
-And when Charles came back,
250
00:13:33,979 --> 00:13:36,549
she was married to Andrew Parker-Bowles.
251
00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:39,885
Of course, we know that that did not stop the romance
252
00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:42,087
between Charles and Camilla.
253
00:13:42,087 --> 00:13:46,325
They did end up continuing their relationship.
254
00:13:46,325 --> 00:13:49,228
-But the couple will remain more than just friends
255
00:13:49,228 --> 00:13:52,598
for the next two decades, driving a scorned Diana
256
00:13:52,598 --> 00:13:56,468
to lash out against the monarchy like never before.
257
00:13:58,938 --> 00:14:02,675
16 years before Princess Diana's tragic death
258
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,443
rocks the world,
259
00:14:06,078 --> 00:14:09,582
all eyes are on a much more joyous occasion --
260
00:14:09,582 --> 00:14:11,884
Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer's
261
00:14:11,884 --> 00:14:14,420
upcoming wedding.
262
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:17,256
-At the time of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's engagement,
263
00:14:17,256 --> 00:14:19,692
we hadn't had a royal wedding in years.
264
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:24,496
So this was going to be the event of the century.
265
00:14:24,496 --> 00:14:27,633
-There were tea towels, there were teacup sets.
266
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:30,102
There were dinner plates. There was wall art.
267
00:14:30,102 --> 00:14:31,971
I own a lot of it.
268
00:14:31,971 --> 00:14:33,405
There were all sorts of knickknacks
269
00:14:33,405 --> 00:14:36,542
made to commemorate this coupling.
270
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:39,445
-So, as soon as the engagement is official,
271
00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:41,513
essentially, the feeding frenzy starts.
272
00:14:41,513 --> 00:14:45,718
There is this enormous just burst of interest
273
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:49,355
in the idea of this fairy-tale wedding that's going to happen.
274
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:50,723
There is all of this frenzy
275
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:52,758
over what's the dress going to look like?
276
00:14:52,758 --> 00:14:55,561
Normally, a royal wedding would be at Westminster Abbey,
277
00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:58,430
but in this case, because there's so much interest,
278
00:14:58,430 --> 00:15:01,934
they move it over to St Paul's, which holds more people.
279
00:15:01,934 --> 00:15:03,669
It's a big deal.
280
00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:07,606
-But with the fairy tale comes a lifelong trade-off.
281
00:15:07,606 --> 00:15:11,610
-Charles and Diana are mobbed everywhere they go.
282
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:14,647
Diana talks about how she basically became, you know,
283
00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:19,218
a prisoner inside her little apartment in the palace.
284
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:21,287
-Diana, at this point, is very clearly
285
00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:23,689
getting kind of overwhelmed by how much is happening.
286
00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:28,427
And she's sort of realizing how little she knows Charles.
287
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:32,031
-Even more troubling as the wedding date draws near,
288
00:15:32,031 --> 00:15:33,766
Diana cannot escape the long shadow
289
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:37,236
cast by the prince's former girlfriend,
290
00:15:37,236 --> 00:15:40,306
Camilla Parker Bowles.
291
00:15:40,306 --> 00:15:42,174
-Camilla takes Diana out for lunch
292
00:15:42,174 --> 00:15:44,343
to a restaurant called Ménage a Trois
293
00:15:44,343 --> 00:15:48,380
and asks Diana if she's into going into the country
294
00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:49,915
and going hunting and things like that.
295
00:15:49,915 --> 00:15:53,452
-And Diana says no, she's more of a city person.
296
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:56,388
And Camilla says, "Oh, well, that will work out."
297
00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:58,590
And Diana understands that to mean
298
00:15:58,590 --> 00:16:00,392
that Camilla is sort of splitting up
299
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:02,528
their custody of Charles and Camilla is thinking,
300
00:16:02,528 --> 00:16:05,864
all right, they'll have their assignations in the country,
301
00:16:05,864 --> 00:16:09,401
Diana will have custody when he's in the city.
302
00:16:09,401 --> 00:16:11,337
-It's an arrangement seemingly blessed
303
00:16:11,337 --> 00:16:14,540
by the prince himself and tacitly supported,
304
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:19,178
or at least ignored, by the monarchy.
305
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:20,479
-Very shortly before the wedding,
306
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:23,248
Diana discovered a present
307
00:16:23,248 --> 00:16:26,385
that Charles was intending to give Camilla.
308
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:29,121
It was a gold bracelet that had a "G"
309
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:31,757
and an "F" on it, for Gladys and Fred,
310
00:16:31,757 --> 00:16:34,994
because those were Charles and Camilla's pet nicknames
311
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:36,428
for each other.
312
00:16:36,428 --> 00:16:39,631
And she was absolutely, of course, devastated.
313
00:16:39,631 --> 00:16:45,204
-So devastated, in fact, Diana considers a drastic move.
314
00:16:45,204 --> 00:16:47,072
-There are stories of her
315
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:48,774
wanting to back out of the marriage
316
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:52,244
because she knew this wasn't going to be the love match
317
00:16:52,244 --> 00:16:54,613
that she was dreaming of.
318
00:16:54,613 --> 00:16:57,816
-She told her sisters, "I want to call off the wedding."
319
00:16:57,816 --> 00:17:00,486
And Sarah, who had previously dated Charles,
320
00:17:00,486 --> 00:17:01,954
said, basically, "Too late,
321
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:04,323
your face is already on all the tea towels.
322
00:17:04,323 --> 00:17:06,792
You got to go through with it."
323
00:17:06,792 --> 00:17:08,994
-I think she knew it wasn't really for her.
324
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:10,496
It was for everybody else.
325
00:17:10,496 --> 00:17:13,265
And it was for the monarchy. It was for the world.
326
00:17:13,265 --> 00:17:14,666
It was for the people.
327
00:17:14,666 --> 00:17:16,802
I wonder how much she actually felt like this
328
00:17:16,802 --> 00:17:20,539
was her wedding day as much as everyone else's wedding day.
329
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:25,811
♪♪
330
00:17:25,811 --> 00:17:28,414
-The first time I was introduced to the royals, as a little girl,
331
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:30,315
watching Princess Di walk down that aisle,
332
00:17:30,315 --> 00:17:31,950
I have not been able to look away.
333
00:17:31,950 --> 00:17:36,922
I was just old enough to understand what princesses were,
334
00:17:36,922 --> 00:17:38,457
what royalty was.
335
00:17:38,457 --> 00:17:41,527
It was the wedding of the century.
336
00:17:43,362 --> 00:17:47,633
-It is watched by 750 million people.
337
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:51,170
The Super Bowl generally gets around 100 million viewers.
338
00:17:51,170 --> 00:17:54,440
This is on another level.
339
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,911
-It was certainly this is a giant spectacular show
340
00:17:58,911 --> 00:18:00,579
with her princess dress.
341
00:18:00,579 --> 00:18:05,451
It had a 25-foot-long train, and it was pretty eccentric.
342
00:18:05,451 --> 00:18:10,022
And it reflected what everybody wanted her to be,
343
00:18:10,022 --> 00:18:12,558
this perfect princess bride.
344
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:16,595
-Diana absolutely wowed the world with her dress,
345
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:18,664
which, in hindsight, when you look at it,
346
00:18:18,664 --> 00:18:22,668
is this big, poofy only in the 1980s,
347
00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:26,505
very romantic, very frilly concoction.
348
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:29,208
But it was the height of fashion at the time.
349
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:30,409
And she looked so beautiful,
350
00:18:30,409 --> 00:18:34,713
and she was so young and so innocent.
351
00:18:34,713 --> 00:18:36,982
-As far as the nation was concerned,
352
00:18:36,982 --> 00:18:41,220
the heir to the throne had found his fairy-tale bride.
353
00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:43,021
-As Diana walks out of the cathedral
354
00:18:43,021 --> 00:18:45,958
at the end of the wedding, she's now Princess of Wales,
355

about this new moment for the royal family,
367

and for those who are on the inside,
368
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:29,301
I'm sure they're applauding, as well, because

-Princess Diana choosing to go to the hospital to give birth
379

is seen as groundbreaking.
380
00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:02,568
It seems common-sense now.
381

Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales.
398

in so many ways and that, from the beginning,
400
00:20:48,947 --> 00:20:51,016
Diana was such a protective mother.

They were traveling for six weeks,
415
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:28,720
so it was royal protocol to leave your child

with a nanny, with a caregiver of the royal family.
417

Well, Diana said, you know, "I'm not doing that.

This is my child.
419

-Of course, the palace objects.

-She was labeled by many in the royal family
422
00:21:44,569 --> 00:21:46,772
and many of the aides as overly protective.
423
00:21:46,772 --> 00:21:49,241
This was a family, including Queen Elizabeth,
424
00:21:49,241 --> 00:21:51,443
where their children were
425
00:21:51,443 --> 00:21:54,112
mostly largely raised by aides and nannies
426
00:21:54,112 --> 00:21:56,948
who were actually taking care of the children on the day-to-day.
427
00:21:56,948 --> 00:22:00,485
And Princess Diana was a lot more of a hands-on mom.

And from the beginning,

00:22:02,054 --> 00:22:04,790
I think the tension between Diana and the royals
430
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:07,659
began to really come into fruition
431
00:22:07,659 --> 00:22:10,062
when she had her first child.
432
00:22:10,062 --> 00:22:14,032
-Diana is adamant and gives the monarchy an ultimatum.
433

-She would not be an animal that would go to heel.
434
00:22:16,601 --> 00:22:18,170
She just stood up to the royal family.
435

-"I'm not going to Australia without my babies.

They're coming with me."
437
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:23,742
She introduced that concept
438
00:22:23,742 --> 00:22:25,944
that we're not going to leave the kids to nannies.
439
00:22:25,944 --> 00:22:29,147
She was the first, and she made a difference.

-But it's not just William the crown worries about.

-Going on your first international royal tour,
442
00:22:36,288 --> 00:22:39,691
it is not easy, and the royals had concerns
443
00:22:39,691 --> 00:22:42,961
about whether or not Diana can really cut the mustard.
444
00:22:42,961 --> 00:22:45,864
After all, she was very young. She was a new mom.
445
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:48,667
She wasn't accustomed to doing all the press,
446
00:22:48,667 --> 00:22:53,271
all of the hand-shaking, all of the red carpet.
447
00:22:53,271 --> 00:22:56,842
-Diana more than holds her own in Australia.
448
00:22:56,842 --> 00:23:01,113

450
00:23:03,849 --> 00:23:06,852

and they walk down two rows of people lined up to meet them.
456

And the side that Charles walked towards audibly groaned
457
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:29,207
when they realized that they would get the Prince
458
00:23:29,207 --> 00:23:31,209

he felt that Diana hadn't given him what he wanted.
533
00:27:24,175 --> 00:27:27,245
-However, the royal children, like their mother,
534
00:27:27,245 --> 00:27:32,050
couldn't be more popular with the public and the press.
535
00:27:32,050 --> 00:27:34,219
-The media went absolutely crazy.
536
00:27:34,219 --> 00:27:36,221
They wanted those photos of the kids.
537
00:27:36,221 --> 00:27:38,289
They wanted the photos of Princess Diana
538
00:27:38,289 --> 00:27:40,892
and Prince Charles with the boys.
539
00:27:40,892 --> 00:27:43,828
They were just plastered all over newspapers,
540
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:46,164
magazines, TV, everywhere you could look.
541
00:27:46,164 --> 00:27:49,200
It was all about the royal babies.
542
00:27:50,935 --> 00:27:54,105
-Once again, Diana breaks with royal tradition,
543
00:27:54,105 --> 00:27:57,876
this time flaunting another long-held royal taboo --
544
00:27:57,876 --> 00:28:02,047
openly showing love toward her boys.
545
00:28:02,047 --> 00:28:05,784
-The royals tended not to show any affection in public
546
00:28:05,784 --> 00:28:08,019
or even behind closed doors, really.
547
00:28:08,019 --> 00:28:10,989
-I think she really wanted to feel her love
548
00:28:10,989 --> 00:28:15,160
in an environment where it's all very kind of stiff.
549
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,662
-The young mother aspires to give her boys
550
00:28:17,662 --> 00:28:20,098
a normal childhood.
551
00:28:20,098 --> 00:28:24,636
-Diana was determined that her children's growth
552
00:28:24,636 --> 00:28:26,037
would not be stunted
553
00:28:26,037 --> 00:28:28,373
by keeping them trapped inside the royal bubble.
554
00:28:28,373 --> 00:28:30,075
She wanted them out in the real world.
555
00:28:30,075 --> 00:28:31,609
She wanted them to meet people
556
00:28:31,609 --> 00:28:35,613
and have childhood experiences like any other child.
557
00:28:35,613 --> 00:28:37,782
-She was not just going to be
558
00:28:37,782 --> 00:28:39,417
having her children taught by tutors.
559
00:28:39,417 --> 00:28:42,520
She was going to let them go to school with other children.
560
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,391
She was going to actually be there for drop-off and pick-up.
561
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:48,960
She was going to dress them in things like blue jeans,
562
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,163
because that's what boys their age wore.
563
00:28:52,163 --> 00:28:55,433
-They went to amusement parks. They got McDonald's.
564
00:28:55,433 --> 00:28:58,570
There's a great story about when they went to Harrods
565
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:00,071
to see Father Christmas.
566
00:29:00,071 --> 00:29:02,674
She made them wait in line, just like everybody else.
567
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:06,177
She wanted to introduce them to normal life, and it's crazy,
568
00:29:06,177 --> 00:29:09,914
but sometimes that was as simple as giving them pocket money
569
00:29:09,914 --> 00:29:12,617
and letting them go buy a treat.
570
00:29:12,617 --> 00:29:14,052
-To the world,
571
00:29:14,052 --> 00:29:17,622
the growing royal family appears happy and content.
572
00:29:17,622 --> 00:29:22,527
But behind palace walls, the tension continues to grow.
573
00:29:22,527 --> 00:29:25,597
-And so the marriage just starts to break down
574
00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:26,898
further and further.
575
00:29:26,898 --> 00:29:28,500
There are screaming matches.
576
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:32,203
Charles is growing more cold and more distant and meaner.
577
00:29:32,203 --> 00:29:35,406
Diana is becoming more frantic and more volatile,
578
00:29:35,406 --> 00:29:39,077
and it becomes a really cataclysmic marriage
579
00:29:39,077 --> 00:29:41,179
that would lead to really devastating results
580
00:29:41,179 --> 00:29:44,115
for both them and for their children.
581
00:29:44,115 --> 00:29:46,918
-Diana has known, from the beginning of her marriage
582
00:29:46,918 --> 00:29:48,953
with Charles, that Camilla Parker Bowles
583
00:29:48,953 --> 00:29:51,356
is a permanent fixture in his life.
584
00:29:51,356 --> 00:29:53,491
But Princess Diana had suspicions
585
00:29:53,491 --> 00:29:58,363
that it was much more serious than people were letting on.
586
00:29:58,363 --> 00:30:00,231
-She realized that her marriage
587
00:30:00,231 --> 00:30:02,100
would never be the fairy-tale marriage
588
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:06,237
that she might have imagined at the age of 19.
589
00:30:06,237 --> 00:30:08,873
And how did she cope with such stress
590
00:30:08,873 --> 00:30:12,377
and her experiences with depression?
591
00:30:12,377 --> 00:30:15,713
Through bulimia, an eating disorder.
592
00:30:15,713 --> 00:30:18,449
You see her searching for care.
593
00:30:18,449 --> 00:30:22,554
Searching for love. Searching for connection.
594
00:30:22,554 --> 00:30:26,891
Beating up her own body, at the same time, in her distress.
595
00:30:26,891 --> 00:30:30,428
And nobody was helping her.
596
00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:34,365
-I think she realized the sense of duty
597
00:30:34,365 --> 00:30:38,036
that she had now as the wife of the future king.
598
00:30:38,036 --> 00:30:40,271
And I think she saw these people
599
00:30:40,271 --> 00:30:42,240
and she saw kind of how enchanted
600
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,275
they were with this idea of what it means to be royal.
601
00:30:44,275 --> 00:30:46,311
And she thought, "Okay, I've got to live up to that.
602
00:30:46,311 --> 00:30:47,779
I've got to step up to that."
603
00:30:47,779 --> 00:30:49,447
And I think she kind of wanted
604
00:30:49,447 --> 00:30:51,516
to prove to Charles that she could do it.
605
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:54,452
I think Diana always had this thing about her
606
00:30:54,452 --> 00:30:58,056
where she wanted to prove people wrong.
607
00:30:58,056 --> 00:31:02,760
-But privately, Diana is hurting.
608
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,028
-At this point,
609
00:31:04,028 --> 00:31:06,698
there is not that much public knowledge
610
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:09,067
about eating disorders and depression.
611
00:31:09,067 --> 00:31:11,836
Not that many famous people have gone public
612
00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:13,504
with their struggles.
613
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,506
So this is something that a lot of people who have struggled
614
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:17,809
with these issues can connect to with her
615
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:21,045
in a way that they've really not had the chance to connect
616
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:22,580
to famous people
617
00:31:22,580 --> 00:31:26,618
and celebrities talking about these issues before.
618
00:31:26,618 --> 00:31:30,355
-The royal family thought that the problem was Diana.
619
00:31:30,355 --> 00:31:32,323
They saw her mental health
620
00:31:32,323 --> 00:31:35,526
and her eating disorder as the whole problem,
621
00:31:35,526 --> 00:31:38,930
not a symptom of the pressure she was under
622
00:31:38,930 --> 00:31:41,332
and what she was experiencing.
623
00:31:41,332 --> 00:31:45,737
So there was this understanding that if she could just
624
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:50,408
get herself in order, the marriage would fix itself.
625
00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:53,144
There were many attempts of her trying to go to the queen
626
00:31:53,144 --> 00:31:55,580
to talk about what she was going through,
627
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:58,616
but nobody was there to give her the help that she needed.
628
00:31:58,616 --> 00:32:02,253
And she went through a very deep depression.
629
00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:04,122
-With those closest to the princess
630
00:32:04,122 --> 00:32:06,257
turning a blind eye to her troubles,
631
00:32:06,257 --> 00:32:09,794
Diana turns to a long-held royal tradition --
632
00:32:09,794 --> 00:32:13,464
seeking help outside the family.
633
00:32:13,464 --> 00:32:16,067
-Diana begins having affairs because
634
00:32:16,067 --> 00:32:17,535
she's not getting love at home.
635
00:32:17,535 --> 00:32:19,971
Why not just take a cue from her husband
636
00:32:19,971 --> 00:32:21,406
and find love outside the home?
637
00:32:21,406 --> 00:32:24,609
So that's what she begins doing.
638
00:32:24,609 --> 00:32:28,112
-First with a Royal Protection Officer, Barry Mannakee,
639
00:32:28,112 --> 00:32:30,281
and then with Major James Hewitt.
640
00:32:30,281 --> 00:32:34,252
Both of them were removed from her household after rumors
641
00:32:34,252 --> 00:32:37,655
of those affairs started swirling among palace staff.
642
00:32:37,655 --> 00:32:41,025
And this kind of fed into her feelings of loneliness
643
00:32:41,025 --> 00:32:43,027
and isolation.
644
00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:44,696
-It's a really unhappy time for her,
645
00:32:44,696 --> 00:32:46,664
and she's really just grasping at straws
646
00:32:46,664 --> 00:32:50,068
and doing anything she can to create her own happiness.
647
00:32:52,103 --> 00:32:53,638
-Seeking a further escape,
648
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:57,375
the princess turns her attention to charity work.
649
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:00,278
-I think she had a servant's heart.
650
00:33:00,278 --> 00:33:02,680
She believed that caring about others
651
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,850
and making others happy was the right thing to do,
652
00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:10,288
and it made her feel better, even in her darkest times.
653
00:33:10,288 --> 00:33:12,490
-Once again, Diana breaks new ground
654
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:15,960
by helping some of society's most neglected.
655
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,599
-On April 9th, 1987, she opened the UK's first HIV/AIDS clinic,
656
00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:26,304
and she notably visited with those patients there
657
00:33:26,304 --> 00:33:29,307
without a mask, without gloves.
658
00:33:29,307 --> 00:33:31,376
-This is during the AIDS epidemic,
659
00:33:31,376 --> 00:33:35,680
when it is still considered essentially a "gay disease"
660
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,548
and something that the mainstream
661
00:33:37,548 --> 00:33:39,517
is really not paying much attention to.
662
00:33:39,517 --> 00:33:42,653
A lot of people are afraid to even touch an AIDS patient
663
00:33:42,653 --> 00:33:45,490
because they're like, "Oh, well, I might catch it."
664
00:33:45,490 --> 00:33:49,260
-The '80s were overshadowed by the AIDS epidemic,
665
00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:53,331
and people living with HIV and AIDS
666
00:33:53,331 --> 00:33:55,533
were completely shunned, and meanwhile,
667
00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:58,469
Princess Di is there telling people they matter,
668
00:33:58,469 --> 00:34:01,406
showing this hug, this love --
669
00:34:01,406 --> 00:34:02,707
none of this needs to be withheld
670
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:05,710
because of something that is a disease.
671
00:34:05,710 --> 00:34:08,379
-She was photographed hugging them,
672
00:34:08,379 --> 00:34:09,814
shaking their hand,
673
00:34:09,814 --> 00:34:14,218
and this did a lot to de-stigmatize the disease
674
00:34:14,218 --> 00:34:17,789
and to help see those patients as people.
675
00:34:17,789 --> 00:34:21,659
That does a lot to normalize it for the public.
676
00:34:21,659 --> 00:34:25,396
-Diana was different. She was a nurturer.
677
00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:29,133
She was compassionate. She was a well of motherly love.
678
00:34:29,133 --> 00:34:31,135
This is the first time the royal family
679
00:34:31,135 --> 00:34:33,738
had ever shown this to the world.
680
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:36,374
-The royal family does a lot of charity work,
681
00:34:36,374 --> 00:34:39,177
but they do it by showing up for ribbon cuttings
682
00:34:39,177 --> 00:34:41,646
and hosting tasteful benefits.
683
00:34:41,646 --> 00:34:46,017
They are not the kind of people who will hug an AIDS patient
684
00:34:46,017 --> 00:34:48,486
because they're not the kind of people who hug anyone.
685
00:34:48,486 --> 00:34:50,388
That's not how they do their work.
686
00:34:50,388 --> 00:34:54,158
So for Diana to be doing her charity work in the style
687
00:34:54,158 --> 00:34:55,793
that she is, is just a big,
688
00:34:55,793 --> 00:34:59,564
big change from the way the royal family does things.
689
00:34:59,564 --> 00:35:01,466
-Princess Diana was a champion of the underdog
690
00:35:01,466 --> 00:35:03,401
by putting a spotlight on their issues.
691
00:35:03,401 --> 00:35:05,103
And I think for many people, they related to her
692
00:35:05,103 --> 00:35:09,340
because you don't see somebody with the common touch.
693
00:35:09,340 --> 00:35:11,676
-Two years later, in 1989,
694
00:35:11,676 --> 00:35:14,946
Diana shows a very different side of herself.
695
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:18,249
She attends a birthday party for Annabel Elliot,
696
00:35:18,249 --> 00:35:22,553
the sister of Diana's romantic rival,
697
00:35:22,553 --> 00:35:27,825
Camilla Parker Bowles, and goes on the attack.
698
00:35:27,825 --> 00:35:32,530
-She confronts her and says, "I know about you and Charles.
699
00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:34,565
I know what's happening between you.
700
00:35:34,565 --> 00:35:35,967
You aren't just clever as you think.
701
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:38,603
The secret is not a secret. I know about it."
702
00:35:38,603 --> 00:35:44,041
-Diana is able to look her in the face and essentially say,
703
00:35:44,041 --> 00:35:47,311
"Why won't you leave us alone? What more do you want?"
704
00:35:47,311 --> 00:35:50,214
And Camilla answers her, saying that,
705
00:35:50,214 --> 00:35:52,517
"Well, you have everything.
706
00:35:52,517 --> 00:35:57,588
And I'm just, you know, being with the man that I love."
707
00:35:57,588 --> 00:36:00,091
-This was a real moment of change for her, of her saying,
708
00:36:00,091 --> 00:36:02,994
"I'm going to embrace my life, and I'm not just going to be
709
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:07,698
a victim of fate, circumstance, or duty anymore."
710
00:36:07,698 --> 00:36:11,602
-In June 1992, Diana seizes the upper hand
711
00:36:11,602 --> 00:36:15,907
when the biography "Diana: Her True Story" drops.
712
00:36:17,909 --> 00:36:22,480
The Andrew Morton-penned book is an instant bestseller.
713
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,583
-It is hanging all the dirty laundry out to dry
714
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:26,951
so the whole world can see it.
715
00:36:26,951 --> 00:36:29,420
We know that Charles is not a good husband.
716
00:36:29,420 --> 00:36:33,357
We know that she does not want to be in that marriage anymore,
717
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:36,894
and he hasn't wanted to be in it for a long time.
718
00:36:36,894 --> 00:36:40,198
This is not a happy marriage, and it's all laid bare
719
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:42,133
in Andrew Morton's book.
720
00:36:42,133 --> 00:36:43,534
-Behind the scenes,
721
00:36:43,534 --> 00:36:46,404
Diana has been struggling with her mental health
722
00:36:46,404 --> 00:36:47,939
and her eating disorder.
723
00:36:47,939 --> 00:36:51,909
She struggles with that throughout the pregnancy.
724
00:36:51,909 --> 00:36:54,745
-She even had a suicide attempt at one point,
725
00:36:54,745 --> 00:36:56,447
when she threw herself down the stairs.
726
00:36:56,447 --> 00:36:59,483
Like, things were very serious.
727
00:36:59,483 --> 00:37:02,286
-But the palace is more concerned with the fallout
728
00:37:02,286 --> 00:37:04,989
than Diana's well-being.
729
00:37:04,989 --> 00:37:09,961
-That is, again, the number one sin for the royal family,
730
00:37:09,961 --> 00:37:14,665
is going on record and speaking about the royal family,
731
00:37:14,665 --> 00:37:18,636
about the private world of the royals.
732
00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:21,339
-Publicly, Diana denies having anything to do
733
00:37:21,339 --> 00:37:23,741
with Morton's book,
734
00:37:23,741 --> 00:37:25,109
but privately...
735
00:37:25,109 --> 00:37:28,613
-She was secretly sending him audio files of her story,
736
00:37:28,613 --> 00:37:31,115
what she was going through, talking about her marriage,
737
00:37:31,115 --> 00:37:32,783
her depression, her affairs.
738
00:37:32,783 --> 00:37:34,785
And it really shook the royal family.
739
00:37:34,785 --> 00:37:37,421
And this was definitely the beginning of the end
740
00:37:37,421 --> 00:37:40,091
of the marriage of Charles and Diana.
741
00:37:40,091 --> 00:37:43,294
-Diana's tell-all marks a clear line in the sand
742
00:37:43,294 --> 00:37:44,662
with the royal family,
743
00:37:44,662 --> 00:37:48,299
and she's not done shocking the world yet.
744
00:38:08,386 --> 00:38:10,521
-Two months after the Diana tell-all
745
00:38:10,521 --> 00:38:12,189
rocks the royal family,
746
00:38:12,189 --> 00:38:16,027
the princess continues making waves when the British tabloid
747
00:38:16,027 --> 00:38:18,596
"The Sun" releases what are known as
748
00:38:18,596 --> 00:38:20,731
the Squidgygate tapes.
749
00:38:20,731 --> 00:38:23,834
-Squidgygate is essentially the leaking of tapes of Diana
750
00:38:23,834 --> 00:38:28,472
talking on the phone with a man named James Gilbey,
751
00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:32,543
who she may have been having an affair with.
752
00:38:32,543 --> 00:38:35,379
-On those tapes, you can hear James Gilbey
753
00:38:35,379 --> 00:38:37,882
refer to Diana as Squidge or Squidgy
754
00:38:37,882 --> 00:38:39,684
over the course of that phone call.
755
00:38:39,684 --> 00:38:44,588
So this is a relationship where she is clearly seeking
756
00:38:44,588 --> 00:38:48,292
that affection that has been closed off to her,
757
00:38:48,292 --> 00:38:50,094
time and time again.
758
00:39:14,785 --> 00:39:17,221
In providing information for Andrew Morton's book,
759
00:39:17,221 --> 00:39:22,960
Diana had conveniently omitted her own extramarital affairs.
760
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,397
So it wasn't until the Squidgygate tapes
761
00:39:26,397 --> 00:39:28,632
came out in 1992
762
00:39:28,632 --> 00:39:32,069
that the public was clued in to,
763
00:39:32,069 --> 00:39:35,940
"Oh, there might be even more going on here."
764
00:39:35,940 --> 00:39:38,809
-This definitely raised some red flags for Diana
765
00:39:38,809 --> 00:39:41,912
because, after these phone calls were released, she was like,
766
00:39:41,912 --> 00:39:45,516
"How did this happen? Who could have done this?"
767
00:39:45,516 --> 00:39:48,819
-There is a theory that the royal family,
768
00:39:48,819 --> 00:39:51,222
or someone working in the royal family,
769
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:55,693
intentionally taped this conversation and leaked it.
770
00:39:57,828 --> 00:40:02,700
-Some believe it's payback for the Andrew Morton book.
771
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:05,503
-It becomes harder and harder to keep up this image
772
00:40:05,503 --> 00:40:07,571
of a happy royal couple.
773
00:40:07,571 --> 00:40:10,374
That light that used to shine forth from Diana
774
00:40:10,374 --> 00:40:15,045
when she was in these social situations is no longer there.
775
00:40:15,045 --> 00:40:17,615
-There was a famous photo of the two of them
776
00:40:17,615 --> 00:40:18,949
stood next to each other.
777
00:40:18,949 --> 00:40:20,818
And you can just feel the energy.
778
00:40:20,818 --> 00:40:24,955
And I think a newspaper captioned the photograph
779
00:40:24,955 --> 00:40:30,327
"The Glums," because they look so miserable.
780
00:40:30,327 --> 00:40:31,595
-These two are not happy.
781
00:40:31,595 --> 00:40:33,431
Why are they putting on the show?
782
00:40:33,431 --> 00:40:35,299
Everybody knows the truth.
783
00:40:35,299 --> 00:40:40,171
-Then, on December 9th, 1992, the palace drops a bombshell
784
00:40:40,171 --> 00:40:45,743
when it announces the prince and princess are separating.
785
00:40:45,743 --> 00:40:48,379
-This was not a legal divorce at this point.
786
00:40:48,379 --> 00:40:53,417
It was just a separation of their households, their staff.
787
00:40:53,417 --> 00:40:56,887
-When they separate, Diana stays at Kensington Palace
788
00:40:56,887 --> 00:41:00,624
and has to cope with being this outsider
789
00:41:00,624 --> 00:41:02,393
but still being part of the royal family.
790
00:41:02,393 --> 00:41:08,299
It's a very strange situation, and a very hard one to navigate.
791
00:41:08,299 --> 00:41:11,101
-After the announcement, the palace puts out a statement
792
00:41:11,101 --> 00:41:14,104
essentially saying there were no third parties
793
00:41:14,104 --> 00:41:15,940
involved in the dissolution of this marriage.
794
00:41:15,940 --> 00:41:18,242
In other words, nobody was having an affair.
795
00:41:18,242 --> 00:41:22,913
We all know that that's a lie. None of that is true.
796
00:41:22,913 --> 00:41:25,049
-It felt like we were living a reality show,
797
00:41:25,049 --> 00:41:27,084
like "The Real Housewives of Royalty."
798
00:41:27,084 --> 00:41:29,053
Like, this was something that we'd never seen before
799
00:41:29,053 --> 00:41:31,956
in a royal family, with so many different storylines
800
00:41:31,956 --> 00:41:33,491
going on at the same time.
801
00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:35,659
I mean, if cameras were rolling,
802
00:41:35,659 --> 00:41:38,295
you would have reality-TV gold.
803
00:41:41,265 --> 00:41:44,835
-1992 is not a year
804
00:41:44,835 --> 00:41:48,839
on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure.
805
00:41:48,839 --> 00:41:53,110
It has turned out to be an annus horribilis.
806
00:41:53,110 --> 00:41:57,781
-This is a PR disaster for the royal family.
807
00:41:57,781 --> 00:42:00,551
-It's a real moment of royal crisis.
808
00:42:00,551 --> 00:42:02,453
It almost seems to be the present
809
00:42:02,453 --> 00:42:04,522
saying, "The past is no longer."
810
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,726
All of those ways of just the stiff upper lip of duty,
811
00:42:08,726 --> 00:42:11,095
we don't live in those times anymore.
812
00:42:11,095 --> 00:42:15,165
-But the fallout is more than just a PR issue.
813
00:42:15,165 --> 00:42:17,801
-The crumbling of the marriage for Charles and Diana
814
00:42:17,801 --> 00:42:20,204
definitely took its toll on William and Harry.
815
00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:24,708
Diana wanted that family nucleus for her boys.
816
00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:26,710
-I get the sense that, for William and Harry,
817
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:29,813
they both saw the writing on the wall.
818
00:42:29,813 --> 00:42:32,883
-Despite the public optimism that Charles and Diana
819
00:42:32,883 --> 00:42:35,853
do not plan to divorce, privately,
820
00:42:35,853 --> 00:42:39,423
a royal reconciliation appears unlikely.
821
00:42:39,423 --> 00:42:44,161
-There's a lot of narrative spinning from both sides.
822
00:42:44,161 --> 00:42:47,731
Charles's camp is saying, "Oh, Diana's hysterical.
823
00:42:47,731 --> 00:42:50,200
She is just not suited for this life.
824
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,436
She doesn't have the mental strength for it
825
00:42:52,436 --> 00:42:53,704
or the fortitude."
826
00:42:53,704 --> 00:42:56,173
Diana says Charles is cold
827
00:42:56,173 --> 00:42:58,876
and was unfaithful to her from the start,
828
00:42:58,876 --> 00:43:00,311
and she was left with no choice
829
00:43:00,311 --> 00:43:04,882
but to have her affairs and leave this marriage.
830
00:43:04,882 --> 00:43:07,551
-The princess underscores her point when she appears
831
00:43:07,551 --> 00:43:10,154
at a fundraising dinner at Kensington Gardens
832
00:43:10,154 --> 00:43:14,825
and makes this unspoken statement.
833
00:43:14,825 --> 00:43:18,762
-Princess Diana was a marketing and PR genius.
834
00:43:18,762 --> 00:43:20,864
And that night, Diana went to an event
835
00:43:20,864 --> 00:43:25,169
and wore a very un-royal, very sexy dress
836
00:43:25,169 --> 00:43:27,738
that has now been dubbed, for all eternity,
837
00:43:27,738 --> 00:43:30,774
as "the revenge dress."
838
00:43:30,774 --> 00:43:32,876
-Any woman scorned is going to make sure
839
00:43:32,876 --> 00:43:35,646
that she showcases female-to-female competition
840
00:43:35,646 --> 00:43:37,281
and that she would be a victor.
841
00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:41,085
Well, she could never have what Camilla Parker Bowles
842
00:43:41,085 --> 00:43:43,821
had in her husband, which was his heart,
843
00:43:43,821 --> 00:43:45,589
but she could win over this female competition
844
00:43:45,589 --> 00:43:46,957
in other areas.
845
00:43:46,957 --> 00:43:49,660
Diana was younger. She was more beautiful.
846
00:43:49,660 --> 00:43:51,061
She was fashionable.
847
00:43:51,061 --> 00:43:53,731
Camilla was none of this.
848
00:43:53,731 --> 00:43:55,199
-It's the moment we all want to have,
849
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:58,102
once we've kind of separated from our ex-partners
850
00:43:58,102 --> 00:44:00,004
or if someone's cheated on you.
851
00:44:00,004 --> 00:44:01,639
You want that moment where you step out
852
00:44:01,639 --> 00:44:04,742
and you can just say "[Bleep]" through an outfit.
853
00:44:04,742 --> 00:44:07,945
It's the ultimate power move.
854
00:44:07,945 --> 00:44:10,247
-Prince Charles could have found a cure for cancer
855
00:44:10,247 --> 00:44:12,750
and all eyes would have been on Princess Diana
856
00:44:12,750 --> 00:44:14,251
in that revenge dress.
857
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:17,421
-So not only was Diana finding her voice, she also,
858
00:44:17,421 --> 00:44:20,924
in turn, was becoming a fashion icon at the same time.
859
00:44:20,924 --> 00:44:22,259
This is the new Diana,
860
00:44:22,259 --> 00:44:24,862
and she really used fashion to her advantage
861
00:44:24,862 --> 00:44:28,332
to send a lot of different messages.
862
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:31,035
-A year later, Diana sends another message
863
00:44:31,035 --> 00:44:32,469
when she bares her soul
864
00:44:32,469 --> 00:44:35,239
in a highly anticipated interview with journalist
865
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:40,711
Martin Bashir on the popular BBC news program "Panorama."
866
00:44:40,711 --> 00:44:42,112
-Diana decided to sit down
867
00:44:42,112 --> 00:44:45,449
and have this very candid talk and conversation,
868
00:44:45,449 --> 00:44:47,184
and she kind of laid it all out there,
869
00:44:47,184 --> 00:44:49,119
which was something that the palace never does,
870
00:44:49,119 --> 00:44:52,423
because their motto is, "Never complain, never explain."
871
00:44:52,423 --> 00:44:53,657
-I don't want a divorce,
872
00:44:53,657 --> 00:44:57,127
but obviously we need clarity on a situation.
873
00:44:57,127 --> 00:44:59,129
-Diana's interview with Martin Bashir
874
00:44:59,129 --> 00:45:02,933
was a very, very big, earth-shattering deal.
875
00:45:02,933 --> 00:45:05,135
-She points to the couple's Australia trip,
876
00:45:05,135 --> 00:45:07,271
less than two years after their wedding,
877
00:45:07,271 --> 00:45:11,809
as the beginning of a deep rift in their relationship.
878
00:45:11,809 --> 00:45:15,345
-Three cheers for Lady Di! -Hip-hip-hooray!
879
00:45:15,345 --> 00:45:17,548
-Diana said that Charles resented her
880
00:45:17,548 --> 00:45:22,686
for becoming so well-liked and so popular pretty much overnight
881
00:45:22,686 --> 00:45:24,288
and eclipsed him.
882
00:45:24,288 --> 00:45:26,890
-Princess Di was really astounded by this.
883
00:45:26,890 --> 00:45:28,425
He's seeing her as competition.
884
00:45:28,425 --> 00:45:31,562
Nobody should see their spouse as competition.
885
00:45:31,562 --> 00:45:33,097
-She let it all out there.
886
00:45:33,097 --> 00:45:35,199
-She confirms that she has had affairs.
887
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:38,035
She talks about how she doesn't necessarily think
888
00:45:38,035 --> 00:45:43,040
Charles is going to be able to adapt to being king
889
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,575
and that he might not ever be king.
890
00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:48,812
She talks about depression and bulimia and self-harm,
891
00:45:48,812 --> 00:45:51,315
and her fairy-tale princess life
892
00:45:51,315 --> 00:45:54,351
was really very tortured on the inside.
893
00:45:54,351 --> 00:45:57,488
-Then I was unwell with post-natal depression.
894
00:45:57,488 --> 00:46:00,424
-She talks frankly about all sorts of things
895
00:46:00,424 --> 00:46:02,292
that have never been talked about,
896
00:46:02,292 --> 00:46:04,461
before that point, by the royal family,
897
00:46:04,461 --> 00:46:08,065
at least not with regard to their own experiences.
898
00:46:08,065 --> 00:46:10,134
-When asked about the not-so-secret strain
899
00:46:10,134 --> 00:46:14,438
on her marriage, the princess doesn't hold back.
900
00:46:14,438 --> 00:46:17,141
-Well, there were three of us in this marriage,
901
00:46:17,141 --> 00:46:19,143
so it was a bit crowded.
902
00:46:19,143 --> 00:46:22,079
-Meaning herself, Charles, and Camilla.
903
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:24,214
She confirms that she has had affairs.
904
00:46:24,214 --> 00:46:27,551
She talks about Charles's affair with Camilla.
905
00:46:29,486 --> 00:46:31,221
And this is something that makes her
906
00:46:31,221 --> 00:46:33,557
seem really human to a lot of people.
907
00:46:33,557 --> 00:46:37,027
It becomes a thing that makes her not just a star
908
00:46:37,027 --> 00:46:38,662
and not just a princess,
909
00:46:38,662 --> 00:46:43,467
but also a human being who people love more than ever now.
910
00:46:43,467 --> 00:46:45,903
-But Diana's most shocking criticism
911
00:46:45,903 --> 00:46:48,839
is aimed directly at the crown.
912
00:46:48,839 --> 00:46:50,641
-I am a very strong person.
913
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:52,843
That causes complications
914
00:46:52,843 --> 00:46:55,045
in the system that I live in.
915
00:46:55,045 --> 00:46:57,247
-She spoke about how she believed the institution
916
00:46:57,247 --> 00:46:59,183
of the monarchy was kind of out to get her.
917
00:46:59,183 --> 00:47:01,451
And it really was this "wow" moment,
918
00:47:01,451 --> 00:47:03,854
and it caused craziness in the UK,
919
00:47:03,854 --> 00:47:07,791
and there was so much outrage from the royal family.
920
00:47:07,791 --> 00:47:11,361
-It's clear that the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana
921
00:47:11,361 --> 00:47:14,298
has become irretrievably broken down
922
00:47:14,298 --> 00:47:18,735
and that the only path forward is a divorce.
923
00:47:18,735 --> 00:47:23,473
-A divorce that will free Diana from the crown's restraints
924
00:47:23,473 --> 00:47:26,577
but ultimately chase her to the grave.
925
00:47:28,345 --> 00:47:30,113
-Is the marriage of Prince Charles
926
00:47:30,113 --> 00:47:33,016
and Princess Diana officially about to end?
927
00:47:33,016 --> 00:47:35,018
-This was something that Diana never wanted.
928
00:47:35,018 --> 00:47:36,553
She never wanted a broken marriage.
929
00:47:36,553 --> 00:47:39,289
She wanted to save her marriage to Charles.
930
00:47:39,289 --> 00:47:41,358
She did everything that she possibly could.
931
00:47:41,358 --> 00:47:44,161
-In London, Princess Diana huddled with her lawyer today
932
00:47:44,161 --> 00:47:45,495
to discuss the queen's call
933
00:47:45,495 --> 00:47:47,664
for an early divorce from Prince Charles.
934
00:47:47,664 --> 00:47:50,467
In the past, her lawyers said, the princess has not agreed
935
00:47:50,467 --> 00:47:53,237
to the divorce sought by Charles and the queen.
936
00:47:53,237 --> 00:47:56,039
But that was before the release of the queen's letter,
937
00:47:56,039 --> 00:47:57,908
urging them both to bring a formal end
938
00:47:57,908 --> 00:48:00,244
to their 14-year-old marriage.
939
00:48:00,244 --> 00:48:03,046
-The word "divorce" is not in the royal vocabulary.
940
00:48:03,046 --> 00:48:06,283
Like, that just does not happen.
941
00:48:06,283 --> 00:48:08,485
-Diana -- she is no longer Her Royal Highness.
942
00:48:08,485 --> 00:48:12,489
She's still a princess, but she's not an HRH.
943
00:48:12,489 --> 00:48:16,560
-William and Harry were very "Team Mom" in this situation.
944
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,399
There's a story that when Diana loses her title, her HRH,
945
00:48:22,399 --> 00:48:24,167
William comes to her and says,
946
00:48:24,167 --> 00:48:25,936
"Don't worry, Mummy, when I'm king,
947
00:48:25,936 --> 00:48:27,271
I'll give it back to you."
948
00:48:27,271 --> 00:48:30,307
There's this sense that they are going to be
949
00:48:30,307 --> 00:48:33,577
looking out for her legacy and preserving her interests
950
00:48:33,577 --> 00:48:35,412
as much as they can.
951
00:48:35,412 --> 00:48:39,816
-She immediately sees herself, once again, completely isolated,
952
00:48:39,816 --> 00:48:44,421
and now she's not even in the family in an official capacity.
953
00:48:44,421 --> 00:48:47,457
She's kind of on her own again.
954
00:48:47,457 --> 00:48:49,192
-This is a turning point for Diana.
955
00:48:49,192 --> 00:48:52,029
She's no longer that naive 19-year-old
956
00:48:52,029 --> 00:48:53,797
who is a preschool teacher.
957
00:48:53,797 --> 00:48:57,401
She is a mother. She is a woman who has toured the world.
958
00:48:57,401 --> 00:48:59,436
She has shaken hands with diplomats.
959
00:48:59,436 --> 00:49:02,372
She herself has been an ambassador for her nation.
960
00:49:02,372 --> 00:49:05,242
And I think this was a real moment of change for her,
961
00:49:05,242 --> 00:49:07,678
of her saying, "I'm going to embrace my life,
962
00:49:07,678 --> 00:49:10,213
and I'm not just going to be a victim of fate,
963
00:49:10,213 --> 00:49:13,817
circumstance, or duty anymore."
964
00:49:13,817 --> 00:49:15,285
-After the divorce,
965
00:49:15,285 --> 00:49:18,522
Diana is no longer a member of the royal family,
966
00:49:18,522 --> 00:49:22,993
but in a lot of ways, she's a bigger star than she ever was.
967
00:49:22,993 --> 00:49:25,162
She starts traveling the world,
968
00:49:25,162 --> 00:49:29,299
doing her philanthropy and being dressed
969
00:49:29,299 --> 00:49:33,103
by everyone who wants to get their clothes out there.
970
00:49:33,103 --> 00:49:35,639
She becomes this enormous fashion icon.
971
00:49:35,639 --> 00:49:40,310
She is the biggest superstar in the world.
972
00:49:40,310 --> 00:49:42,879
-She's truly embracing her place on the world stage
973
00:49:42,879 --> 00:49:44,281
as a humanitarian.
974
00:49:44,281 --> 00:49:46,149
She's talking about the causes
975
00:49:46,149 --> 00:49:48,685
and walking the walk with those causes.
976
00:49:48,685 --> 00:49:52,656
-Diana took up the cause of banning land mines.
977
00:49:52,656 --> 00:49:53,790
On a visit to Angola,
978
00:49:53,790 --> 00:49:57,227
she visited with amputees who had lost limbs
979
00:49:57,227 --> 00:50:01,865
due to land mines, and she posed for photo ops.
980
00:50:01,865 --> 00:50:06,003
She is famously filmed walking across a field
981
00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:08,872
full of land mines, and at the end, the photographers
982
00:50:08,872 --> 00:50:10,741
are, like, joking around with her and are like,
983
00:50:10,741 --> 00:50:13,577
"Oh, we didn't quite get all our footage. Could you do it again?
984
00:50:13,577 --> 00:50:15,412
Ha ha ha." And Diana's like, "Sure."
985
00:50:15,412 --> 00:50:17,447
And she walks around and goes back
986
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:19,816
through this dangerous field full of explosives
987
00:50:19,816 --> 00:50:23,020
one more time, because she's very committed
988
00:50:23,020 --> 00:50:25,288
to using as much of her star power
989
00:50:25,288 --> 00:50:28,558
as she can to bring attention to this cause.
990
00:50:28,558 --> 00:50:31,528
-Diana is truly living her best life at this point.
991
00:50:31,528 --> 00:50:34,464
She truly is embracing that star power she has.
992
00:50:34,464 --> 00:50:37,067
She's truly embracing her place on the world stage
993
00:50:37,067 --> 00:50:38,301
as a humanitarian.
994
00:50:38,301 --> 00:50:40,203
She's talking about the causes
995
00:50:40,203 --> 00:50:42,439
and walking the walk with those causes.
996
00:50:42,439 --> 00:50:43,874
-I'm only trying to highlight
997
00:50:43,874 --> 00:50:46,309
a problem that's going on all around the world.
998
00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:47,544
That's all.
999
00:50:47,544 --> 00:50:49,746
-It was such a profound statement.
1000
00:50:49,746 --> 00:50:53,116
It just made her look so fierce and so strong
1001
00:50:53,116 --> 00:50:55,419
and like she could overcome anything.
1002
00:50:55,419 --> 00:50:59,056
And she was that person.
1003
00:50:59,056 --> 00:51:03,794
-Diana also embraces her new-found romantic freedom.
1004
00:51:03,794 --> 00:51:06,763
-After she divorces Charles, Diana has a chance
1005
00:51:06,763 --> 00:51:09,800
to date openly for basically the first time in her life.
1006
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,702
Right? She'd never had a serious boyfriend before Charles.
1007
00:51:12,702 --> 00:51:16,239
And her first real relationship, post-divorce,
1008
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,642
is with Hasnat Khan.
1009
00:51:18,642 --> 00:51:21,411
-Hasnat Khan was a Pakistani heart surgeon
1010
00:51:21,411 --> 00:51:22,712
who Diana had met one day
1011
00:51:22,712 --> 00:51:25,215
when she was touring his hospital.
1012
00:51:25,215 --> 00:51:27,117
She really admired him.
1013
00:51:27,117 --> 00:51:29,953
He was very kind and compassionate.
1014
00:51:29,953 --> 00:51:33,824
-Diana's new beau is unlike anything the staunch Anglo crown
1015
00:51:33,824 --> 00:51:39,329
could have anticipated for the newly single ex-monarch.
1016
00:51:39,329 --> 00:51:41,331
-She was dating a man who was a person of color,
1017
00:51:41,331 --> 00:51:45,268
and that brought its own racist undertones.
1018
00:51:45,268 --> 00:51:47,170
-They fell really deeply in love
1019
00:51:47,170 --> 00:51:48,805
and had a very secret relationship
1020
00:51:48,805 --> 00:51:51,641
that she managed to keep completely hidden
1021
00:51:51,641 --> 00:51:53,777
from the press, which, again, shows you
1022
00:51:53,777 --> 00:51:57,481
how smart she was, that she managed to do that.
1023
00:51:57,481 --> 00:51:59,783
-She referred to him as Mr. Wonderful
1024
00:51:59,783 --> 00:52:04,287
and really envisioned a life for them together.
1025
00:52:04,287 --> 00:52:07,557
She went to Pakistan to meet his parents.
1026
00:52:07,557 --> 00:52:11,495
She was very invested in making this work.
1027
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:14,464
-She wanted to marry him. Prince William was on board.
1028
00:52:14,464 --> 00:52:15,832
They really, really liked him.
1029
00:52:15,832 --> 00:52:18,935
And she wanted to take that next step with him.
1030
00:52:18,935 --> 00:52:21,938
-But Khan isn't comfortable in the harsh glare
1031
00:52:21,938 --> 00:52:24,975
of the media spotlight.
1032
00:52:24,975 --> 00:52:28,512
-Diana had a vision of their future relationship,
1033
00:52:28,512 --> 00:52:31,314
where she would still be in the public eye
1034
00:52:31,314 --> 00:52:33,216
and she would still be championing
1035
00:52:33,216 --> 00:52:34,851
her charitable causes.
1036
00:52:34,851 --> 00:52:39,723
Hasnat Khan was not interested in that lifestyle.
1037
00:52:39,723 --> 00:52:41,591
-He was just too overwhelmed by the press attention.
1038
00:52:41,591 --> 00:52:43,727
He was saying, "I just cannot deal with this.
1039
00:52:43,727 --> 00:52:47,664
I cannot deal with this, Diana." And so they broke up.
1040
00:52:49,499 --> 00:52:53,603
-Little did Khan know how right he was.
1041
00:52:53,603 --> 00:52:57,174
The paparazzi will chase Diana and her next suitor
1042
00:52:57,174 --> 00:52:58,942
to the grave.
1043
00:53:00,610 --> 00:53:02,979
Soon after her split to Hasnat Khan,
1044
00:53:02,979 --> 00:53:05,815
Diana has a date with destiny when she's invited
1045
00:53:05,815 --> 00:53:09,586
to the French villa of a family friend --
1046
00:53:09,586 --> 00:53:12,856
billionaire businessman Mohamayed Al-Fayed.
1047
00:53:12,856 --> 00:53:15,592
-Diana accepted, and she took along William and Harry,
1048
00:53:15,592 --> 00:53:18,662
and it was there that she met Dodi Al-Fayed.
1049
00:53:18,662 --> 00:53:22,065
-Dodi was the son of Mohamayed Al-Fayed,
1050
00:53:22,065 --> 00:53:23,767
an Egyptian billionaire,
1051
00:53:23,767 --> 00:53:27,003
who owns the famous department store in London called Harrods.
1052
00:53:27,003 --> 00:53:32,242
Dodi was a playboy, and he was the complete opposite of Hasnat
1053
00:53:32,242 --> 00:53:35,145
and completely different to Charles.
1054
00:53:35,145 --> 00:53:39,449
When him and Diana got together, he was already dating someone,
1055
00:53:39,449 --> 00:53:42,519
a model called Kelly Fisher.
1056
00:53:42,519 --> 00:53:44,921
-Dodi seems to have been kind of ambivalent
1057
00:53:44,921 --> 00:53:46,323
about this relationship.
1058
00:53:46,323 --> 00:53:50,060
He was pushed into it by his father, Mohamayed Al-Fayed,
1059
00:53:50,060 --> 00:53:53,597
who seems to have been fascinated with institutions
1060
00:53:53,597 --> 00:53:55,498
of British wealth and aristocracy.
1061
00:53:55,498 --> 00:53:57,934
So getting his son together
1062
00:53:57,934 --> 00:54:00,604
with a former member of the royal family
1063
00:54:00,604 --> 00:54:03,373
would have been a big deal for him.
1064
00:54:04,841 --> 00:54:07,577
-At first, Diana and Dodi's relationship
1065
00:54:07,577 --> 00:54:09,679
appears mostly platonic,
1066
00:54:09,679 --> 00:54:13,683
but then things start to develop between them.
1067
00:54:13,683 --> 00:54:16,953
-Dodi was notably already engaged to somebody else.
1068
00:54:16,953 --> 00:54:19,489
That somebody else unfortunately found out
1069
00:54:19,489 --> 00:54:21,524
that he was dating Princess Diana,
1070
00:54:21,524 --> 00:54:23,059
thanks to the tabloids.
1071
00:54:23,059 --> 00:54:24,394
She had no idea.
1072
00:54:24,394 --> 00:54:25,795
That's what happens, oftentimes,
1073
00:54:25,795 --> 00:54:27,664
when you're with somebody like Princess Diana.
1074
00:54:27,664 --> 00:54:30,767
You end up in the tabloids, even if you don't plan to.
1075
00:54:30,767 --> 00:54:35,705
-I think Dodi was somebody that Diana was able to confide in,
1076
00:54:35,705 --> 00:54:37,974
who understood what she was dealing with
1077
00:54:37,974 --> 00:54:41,645
and who helped her have a good time.
1078
00:54:41,645 --> 00:54:43,413
-I don't think they were in love.
1079
00:54:43,413 --> 00:54:45,715
I think she was just having fun.
1080
00:54:45,715 --> 00:54:48,018
Princess Diana's dating pool, if you think about it,
1081
00:54:48,018 --> 00:54:49,219
was pretty small.
1082
00:54:49,219 --> 00:54:50,654
She basically needed somebody
1083
00:54:50,654 --> 00:54:54,124
who lived the same elite lifestyle that she lived.
1084
00:54:54,124 --> 00:54:58,628
And he also offered her protection and security,
1085
00:54:58,628 --> 00:55:00,196
which she really, really needed
1086
00:55:00,196 --> 00:55:04,601
because she didn't have the royal protection anymore.
1087
00:55:04,601 --> 00:55:06,136
-She was just enjoying herself.
1088
00:55:06,136 --> 00:55:10,740
And if you look at her, she really was just at her peak.
1089
00:55:10,740 --> 00:55:12,976
She looked really healthy and happy.
1090
00:55:12,976 --> 00:55:16,613
Every time you see her, she's smiling.
1091
00:55:16,613 --> 00:55:18,882
-But as Diana and Dodi grow closer,
1092
00:55:18,882 --> 00:55:24,487
the paparazzi's feeding frenzy becomes insatiable.
1093
00:55:24,487 --> 00:55:27,590
-The press is on her tail the whole time.
1094
00:55:27,590 --> 00:55:29,592
They have their long lenses.
1095
00:55:29,592 --> 00:55:32,462
They have their paparazzi on the ground.
1096
00:55:32,462 --> 00:55:33,797
They're being followed everywhere.
1097
00:55:33,797 --> 00:55:35,699
Even when she couldn't see the paparazzi,
1098
00:55:35,699 --> 00:55:38,101
the paparazzi could see her.
1099
00:55:38,101 --> 00:55:40,503
-I don't think someone who hasn't experienced it
1100
00:55:40,503 --> 00:55:44,040
can understand what Diana's life was like.
1101
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,377
You're living in an alternate reality.
1102
00:55:49,379 --> 00:55:50,714
The paparazzi is getting
1103
00:55:50,714 --> 00:55:52,615
absolutely out of control at this point.
1104
00:55:52,615 --> 00:55:54,951
It's really invasive and abusive.
1105
00:55:54,951 --> 00:55:57,220
And I don't think Diana was enjoying
1106
00:55:57,220 --> 00:55:58,688
their attention anymore.
1107
00:55:58,688 --> 00:56:01,091
I think she'd become very paranoid, very fearful,
1108
00:56:01,091 --> 00:56:04,661
very over all of the tabloid intrusion.
1109
00:56:04,661 --> 00:56:08,164
And there's a very famous photo of Dodi and Diana
1110
00:56:08,164 --> 00:56:10,967
on a yacht kissing, and it was called "The Kiss."
1111
00:56:10,967 --> 00:56:13,269
And it was this huge media sensation
1112
00:56:13,269 --> 00:56:17,807
and what really alerted a lot of the world to their relationship.
1113
00:56:17,807 --> 00:56:21,311
-That photo is one of the most expensive paparazzi photos
1114
00:56:21,311 --> 00:56:22,879
ever taken.
1115
00:56:22,879 --> 00:56:27,350
-As usual, not all of the publicity is flattering.
1116
00:56:27,350 --> 00:56:29,819
-There is all of this buzz
1117
00:56:29,819 --> 00:56:31,187
around her relationship with Dodi
1118
00:56:31,187 --> 00:56:34,090
that's not exactly the kind of aspirational,
1119
00:56:34,090 --> 00:56:37,594
"Oh, look at the fairy-tale princess" attention
1120
00:56:37,594 --> 00:56:39,062
that she used to receive.
1121
00:56:39,062 --> 00:56:42,565
It's more like, "Well, this is a little bit tacky
1122
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:43,933
and maybe sordid,
1123
00:56:43,933 --> 00:56:48,938
and we aren't sure we like this for Diana."
1124
00:56:48,938 --> 00:56:53,009
-Diana is bucking every convention there is out there.
1125
00:56:53,009 --> 00:56:55,044
She is rebelling against the monarchy.
1126
00:56:55,044 --> 00:56:57,514
She is doing things that nobody else
1127
00:56:57,514 --> 00:56:58,882
in the royal family is doing.
1128
00:56:58,882 --> 00:57:02,685
She is openly and unapologetically dating Muslims.
1129
00:57:02,685 --> 00:57:05,789
She is openly and unapologetically dating people
1130
00:57:05,789 --> 00:57:08,792
who do not have white skin.
1131
00:57:08,792 --> 00:57:11,127
-This drew a lot of controversy because, you know, she is
1132
00:57:11,127 --> 00:57:14,230
the mother of a future king and she is dating a man
1133
00:57:14,230 --> 00:57:18,101
that many of them would not find desirable.
1134
00:57:18,101 --> 00:57:20,570
-She wanted, maybe, to throw it in the palace's face,
1135
00:57:20,570 --> 00:57:22,172
like, "Look at me, I'm happy,
1136
00:57:22,172 --> 00:57:23,840
and I'm in this new relationship,
1137
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,476
and I'm living my best life."
1138
00:57:26,476 --> 00:57:28,378
-One month into their relationship,
1139
00:57:28,378 --> 00:57:29,913
Diana and Dodi take a trip
1140
00:57:29,913 --> 00:57:33,149
that will forever alter the course of royal history.
1141
00:57:33,149 --> 00:57:37,520
On August 30th, 1997, the pair travel to Paris to stay at
1142
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,858
Dodi's father's hotel, the Ritz, and take in the sights.
1143
00:57:43,793 --> 00:57:45,595
-They were in and out of the hotel,
1144
00:57:45,595 --> 00:57:47,096
shopping and things like that.
1145
00:57:47,096 --> 00:57:49,132
She was getting ready to go back home to her boys.
1146
00:57:49,132 --> 00:57:51,201
She's had a phone call with them saying that she was
1147
00:57:51,201 --> 00:57:52,635
going to see them soon,
1148
00:57:52,635 --> 00:57:55,572
and she was wrapping up her trip.
1149
00:57:55,572 --> 00:57:57,974
-But they're not alone.
1150
00:57:57,974 --> 00:58:00,643
-The paparazzi were following them everywhere.
1151
00:58:00,643 --> 00:58:02,445
They were parked right outside the hotel,
1152
00:58:02,445 --> 00:58:03,813
waiting for them to come and go.
1153
00:58:03,813 --> 00:58:05,181
Are they on a shopping trip?
1154
00:58:05,181 --> 00:58:06,916
Are they coming back from a shopping trip?
1155
00:58:06,916 --> 00:58:11,187
And eventually, Diana and Dodi snuck out.
1156
00:58:11,187 --> 00:58:14,157
-Dodi goes out to buy Diana some jewelry,
1157
00:58:14,157 --> 00:58:17,994
and then they do plan to leave the Ritz for dinner.
1158
00:58:17,994 --> 00:58:21,331
Unfortunately, there are throngs of photographers
1159
00:58:21,331 --> 00:58:22,632
outside the hotel,
1160
00:58:22,632 --> 00:58:25,668
which just make them very uneasy.
1161
00:58:25,668 --> 00:58:28,538
They return to the Ritz for dinner and,
1162
00:58:28,538 --> 00:58:32,876
later that night, plan to spend the evening at Dodi's apartment
1163
00:58:32,876 --> 00:58:35,845
by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
1164
00:58:35,845 --> 00:58:37,814
When they're getting ready to leave the hotel,
1165
00:58:37,814 --> 00:58:41,718
they attempt to send a decoy car
1166
00:58:41,718 --> 00:58:43,786
out the front entrance of the hotel
1167
00:58:43,786 --> 00:58:46,422
to kind of lead the paparazzi away
1168
00:58:46,422 --> 00:58:48,992
while they slip out the back.
1169
00:58:48,992 --> 00:58:51,060
They get into a black Mercedes.
1170
00:58:51,060 --> 00:58:53,096
They are driven by Henri Paul,
1171
00:58:53,096 --> 00:58:55,231
the head of security at the Ritz Hotel,
1172
00:58:55,231 --> 00:58:59,736
who -- chauffeuring was not in his job description.
1173
00:58:59,736 --> 00:59:02,171
They're also accompanied by a protection officer,
1174
00:59:02,171 --> 00:59:03,640
Trevor Rees-Jones.
1175
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,976
And when Dodi and Diana get into the back of this Mercedes,
1176
00:59:06,976 --> 00:59:10,747
it's supposed that nobody was wearing a seatbelt.
1177
00:59:10,747 --> 00:59:12,749
They peel away from the Ritz Hotel
1178
00:59:12,749 --> 00:59:15,718
just around midnight on August 31st
1179
00:59:15,718 --> 00:59:18,922
and are immediately chased by paparazzi,
1180
00:59:18,922 --> 00:59:21,691
some of whom are on motorbikes.
1181
00:59:23,092 --> 00:59:26,329
-The paparazzi are going wild.
1182
00:59:26,329 --> 00:59:27,931
They're speeding along,
1183
00:59:27,931 --> 00:59:32,135
driving very, very aggressively, trying to get photographs.
1184
00:59:32,135 --> 00:59:34,437
-And the paparazzi were right on their tail.
1185
00:59:34,437 --> 00:59:38,308
The paparazzi sped up. The paparazzi surrounded them.
1186
00:59:38,308 --> 00:59:42,745
And their driver drove faster and faster and faster.
1187
00:59:42,745 --> 00:59:44,547
Faster than was safe.
1188
00:59:44,547 --> 00:59:48,051
Faster than made sense.
1189
00:59:48,051 --> 00:59:52,589
-But the driver of Diana and Dodi's car
1190
00:59:52,589 --> 00:59:53,990
is not in a condition
1191
00:59:53,990 --> 00:59:57,794
to be responding well to that kind of pressure.
1192
00:59:57,794 --> 01:00:01,898
[ Tires screech, crashing ]
1193
01:00:05,568 --> 01:00:09,772
-Shortly after midnight on August 31st, 1997,
1194
01:00:09,772 --> 01:00:12,075
Princess Diana and her new love interest,
1195
01:00:12,075 --> 01:00:14,777
millionaire playboy Dodi Al-Fayed,
1196
01:00:14,777 --> 01:00:16,779
are racing through the streets of Paris,
1197
01:00:16,779 --> 01:00:19,882
trying to escape the paparazzi.
1198
01:00:19,882 --> 01:00:21,517
-They come up on this tunnel.
1199
01:00:21,517 --> 01:00:26,656
The speed limit of the tunnel is about 30 miles per hour.
1200
01:00:26,656 --> 01:00:28,324
-But their driver, Henri Paul,
1201
01:00:28,324 --> 01:00:32,729
pushes the limo to over 120 miles per hour.
1202
01:00:34,430 --> 01:00:39,335
-As they enter the tunnel, he loses control of the vehicle.
1203
01:00:39,335 --> 01:00:41,070
The car crashes.
1204
01:00:41,070 --> 01:00:43,873
[ Tires screech, crashing ]
1205
01:00:43,873 --> 01:00:45,808
-It's been reported in the last few minutes
1206
01:00:45,808 --> 01:00:47,243
that Diana, Princess of Wales,
1207
01:00:47,243 --> 01:00:51,314
has been seriously injured in a car crash in Paris.
1208
01:00:51,314 --> 01:00:53,216
-The initial reports were hopeful,
1209
01:00:53,216 --> 01:00:57,353
saying that Diana hadn't been seriously injured.
1210
01:00:57,353 --> 01:00:59,389
-But the news coverage kept going and going
1211
01:00:59,389 --> 01:01:02,792
and getting a little bit more serious as time went on.
1212
01:01:02,792 --> 01:01:04,360
-Diana, Princess of Wales,
1213
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:09,165
has been seriously injured in a car accident in Paris.
1214
01:01:09,165 --> 01:01:11,834
-According to footage and testimony
1215
01:01:11,834 --> 01:01:14,437
from paparazzi who were there,
1216
01:01:14,437 --> 01:01:18,975
Diana is still alive for quite some time after the crash.
1217
01:01:18,975 --> 01:01:21,511
There are a couple of paparazzi members
1218
01:01:21,511 --> 01:01:25,048
who are trying to help her and doing CPR.
1219
01:01:25,048 --> 01:01:27,316
There are others who are just taking photographs
1220
01:01:27,316 --> 01:01:30,119
of the wreckage.
1221
01:01:30,119 --> 01:01:33,322
The French ambulance comes.
1222
01:01:33,322 --> 01:01:35,058
This is a decision
1223
01:01:35,058 --> 01:01:37,160
that will eventually become quite controversial.
1224
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:41,664
But in France, the system is if there has been an accident,
1225
01:01:41,664 --> 01:01:43,199
you do as much work
1226
01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:47,003
as you can to get the person stable on the scene.
1227
01:01:47,003 --> 01:01:49,672
This is different from the UK or the US,
1228
01:01:49,672 --> 01:01:53,309
where you try and get the person out of the scene of the accident
1229

as quickly as possible and bring them to a hospital.
1230
01:01:56,345 --> 01:02:00,383
So the French ambulance workers are trying to help
1231
01:02:00,383 --> 01:02:03,286
Diana out at the scene of the wreckage.
1232
01:02:03,286 --> 01:02:06,289
-The princess is reported to have been taken to hospital.
1233
01:02:06,289 --> 01:02:10,293
-She is still alive when they get there.
1234
01:02:10,293 --> 01:02:15,031
-But then the news takes a tragic turn.
1235
01:02:15,031 --> 01:02:16,733
-Diana, Princess of Wales,
1236
01:02:16,733 --> 01:02:19,268
has been killed in a car accident
1237
01:02:19,268 --> 01:02:21,938
and that her partner, Dodi Fayed,
1238
01:02:21,938 --> 01:02:23,539
has also been killed.
1239
01:02:23,539 --> 01:02:27,110
-Our first thoughts must be with her children and family
1240
01:02:27,110 --> 01:02:30,246
at this time of immense loss to them.
1241
01:02:34,250 --> 01:02:38,254
-It is this enormously shocking moment.
1242
01:02:38,254 --> 01:02:41,557
This is someone who we have been following
1243
01:02:41,557 --> 01:02:43,459
since she was 19 years old.
1244
01:02:43,459 --> 01:02:45,394
Now she's 36.
1245
01:02:45,394 --> 01:02:49,332
No one is expecting her to have died
1246
01:02:49,332 --> 01:02:51,534
all of a sudden, at this moment where it really seemed
1247
01:02:51,534 --> 01:02:56,906
like her true adult life of freedom was just beginning.
1248
01:02:58,841 --> 01:03:00,409
-It took people's breath away.
1249
01:03:00,409 --> 01:03:03,946
How could the people's princess have died in a car crash?
1250
01:03:03,946 --> 01:03:06,082
It was just unbelievable.
1251
01:03:06,082 --> 01:03:08,684
-I remember exactly where I was when I found out
1252
01:03:08,684 --> 01:03:10,086
Princess Diana died.
1253
01:03:10,086 --> 01:03:13,422
We were in disbelief. "This can't be true."
1254
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:16,125
-There's so much confusion after the crash
1255
01:03:16,125 --> 01:03:17,460
and after Diana's death,
1256
01:03:17,460 --> 01:03:19,362
people didn't know what had happened.
1257
01:03:19,362 --> 01:03:23,099
Three of the passengers in the car were dead.
1258
01:03:23,099 --> 01:03:25,034
The bodyguard had been severely injured,
1259
01:03:25,034 --> 01:03:26,936
so he couldn't tell what had happened.
1260
01:03:26,936 --> 01:03:30,072
Nobody really knew what was going on.
1261
01:03:30,072 --> 01:03:31,507
-Tests will later confirm
1262
01:03:31,507 --> 01:03:34,510
the driver, Henri Paul, had more than three times
1263
01:03:34,510 --> 01:03:38,347
France's legal limit of alcohol in his blood.
1264
01:03:40,316 --> 01:03:43,786
But some believe the paparazzi are equally to blame
1265
01:03:43,786 --> 01:03:46,155
for the accident.
1266
01:03:46,155 --> 01:03:49,058
-Princess Diana was literally hunted down
1267
01:03:49,058 --> 01:03:52,128
into a Paris tunnel, and as she lay dying,
1268
01:03:52,128 --> 01:03:54,263
the same people who were chasing her down
1269
01:03:54,263 --> 01:03:56,966
were taking pictures of her dying breath.
1270
01:03:56,966 --> 01:03:59,302
That's how bad it got.
1271
01:03:59,302 --> 01:04:01,871
-Others think the palace may have been involved
1272
01:04:01,871 --> 01:04:03,940
in Diana's death.
1273
01:04:08,778 --> 01:04:13,316
-Mohamayed Al-Fayed really became the catalyst of a lot
1274
01:04:13,316 --> 01:04:15,184
of these conspiracy theories.
1275
01:04:15,184 --> 01:04:18,120
He was dealing with enormous grief, of course,
1276
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,022
and he really started to hint
1277
01:04:20,022 --> 01:04:24,093
that something sinister was afoot.
1278
01:04:24,093 --> 01:04:26,295
-Mohamayed Al-Fayed -- he was convinced
1279
01:04:26,295 --> 01:04:31,300
that the royal family had taken Diana and Dodi out.
1280
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:33,769
-The French government does a pretty thorough
1281
01:04:33,769 --> 01:04:35,071
investigation of all of this.
1282
01:04:35,071 --> 01:04:37,340
They look into all of the questions,
1283
01:04:37,340 --> 01:04:39,308
and they eventually come to the conclusion
1284
01:04:39,308 --> 01:04:42,445
that the driver was under the influence.
1285
01:04:42,445 --> 01:04:45,214
The fault lies with him, ultimately.
1286
01:04:46,482 --> 01:04:50,920
-Diana's death sends the entire world into mourning.
1287
01:04:52,455 --> 01:04:54,624
People flock to Kensington Palace
1288
01:04:54,624 --> 01:04:56,559
to pay their respects.
1289
01:04:58,327 --> 01:05:01,597
Diana was such a beautiful person.
1290
01:05:01,597 --> 01:05:04,734
And nobody will ever replace her.
1291
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:07,470
-I still can't believe this is happening now.
1292
01:05:07,470 --> 01:05:11,107
I don't think I'll believe it until I actually see her coffin.
1293
01:05:11,107 --> 01:05:14,310
-There were flowers that went up to people's knees,
1294
01:05:14,310 --> 01:05:16,646
with mourners just putting them out.
1295
01:05:16,646 --> 01:05:19,448
People just weeping publicly in the streets
1296
01:05:19,448 --> 01:05:23,552
and comforting one another about Diana's passing.
1297
01:05:23,552 --> 01:05:26,789
It was almost like they lost a member of their own family,
1298
01:05:26,789 --> 01:05:30,359
and people didn't know how to deal with their grief.
1299
01:05:30,359 --> 01:05:33,162
-Including the royal family, who is vacationing
1300
01:05:33,162 --> 01:05:36,599
at their country house at Balmoral, Scotland.
1301
01:05:36,599 --> 01:05:39,869
-This had to be an unbelievably difficult moment
1302
01:05:39,869 --> 01:05:41,504
for Prince Charles.
1303
01:05:41,504 --> 01:05:45,775
How do you tell your two sons that their mother had died?
1304
01:05:45,775 --> 01:05:48,778
It was definitely a devastating situation and something
1305
01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:52,548
that, unfortunately, they'd have to remember forever.
1306
01:05:52,548 --> 01:05:56,185
-The queen initially saw Diana's death as a personal,
1307
01:05:56,185 --> 01:05:58,054
private family affair.
1308
01:05:58,054 --> 01:05:59,488
Diana was technically not
1309
01:05:59,488 --> 01:06:01,257
a member of the royal family anymore,
1310
01:06:01,257 --> 01:06:02,892
so she didn't believe
1311
01:06:02,892 --> 01:06:07,496
that she needed to make a public statement.
1312
01:06:07,496 --> 01:06:09,665
-The queen's official stance is like,
1313
01:06:09,665 --> 01:06:13,202
"Well, we only lower flags and things like that
1314
01:06:13,202 --> 01:06:16,005
if an HRH dies, and that's not Diana."
1315
01:06:16,005 --> 01:06:19,008
So the country is outraged.
1316
01:06:19,008 --> 01:06:20,476
There is all of this, "Wow,
1317
01:06:20,476 --> 01:06:23,179
you can't even pretend to feel sorry she's dead."
1318
01:06:23,179 --> 01:06:26,248
And it's kind of emblematic of the problem
1319
01:06:26,248 --> 01:06:28,484
that the royal family has always had with Diana, right?
1320
01:06:28,484 --> 01:06:31,253
Which is she rarely follows the forms
1321
01:06:31,253 --> 01:06:34,023
that they understand to be extremely important.
1322
01:06:34,023 --> 01:06:40,696
-We are today, a nation in Britain, in a state of shock,
1323
01:06:40,696 --> 01:06:47,370
in mourning, in grief that is so deeply painful for us.
1324
01:06:47,370 --> 01:06:50,673
She touched the lives of so many others, in Britain
1325
01:06:50,673 --> 01:06:54,844
and throughout the world, with joy and with comfort.
1326
01:06:54,844 --> 01:06:59,215
She was the people's princess, and that's how she will stay,
1327
01:06:59,215 --> 01:07:01,317
how she will remain in our hearts
1328
01:07:01,317 --> 01:07:04,186
and in our memories forever.
1329
01:07:04,186 --> 01:07:08,491
-Tony Blair, the prime minister at the time, is the one who saw
1330
01:07:08,491 --> 01:07:11,327
that the public was getting angrier and angrier,
1331
01:07:11,327 --> 01:07:14,697
and he dares to go to the Queen of England and say,
1332
01:07:14,697 --> 01:07:16,932
"You are not doing the correct thing.
1333
01:07:16,932 --> 01:07:20,169
You have to leave Balmoral. You have to come to London.
1334
01:07:20,169 --> 01:07:22,204
This has to be a huge funeral,
1335
01:07:22,204 --> 01:07:25,174
and you need to pay tribute to Diana."
1336
01:07:25,174 --> 01:07:26,742
Queen Elizabeth finally understood,
1337
01:07:26,742 --> 01:07:30,513
"I need to address the nation," and she did.
1338
01:07:30,513 --> 01:07:33,482
And the speech she gave was really moving and touching.
1339
01:07:33,482 --> 01:07:37,286
-I want to pay tribute to Diana myself.
1340
01:07:37,286 --> 01:07:41,123
She was an exceptional and gifted human being
1341
01:07:41,123 --> 01:07:42,858
in good times and bad.
1342
01:07:42,858 --> 01:07:46,595
She never lost her capacity to smile and laugh,
1343
01:07:46,595 --> 01:07:51,100
nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness.
1344
01:07:51,100 --> 01:07:53,169
I admired and respected her
1345
01:07:53,169 --> 01:07:56,372
for her energy and commitment to others,
1346
01:07:56,372 --> 01:08:00,443
and especially for her devotion to her two boys.
1347
01:08:00,443 --> 01:08:04,413
No one who knew Diana will ever forget her.
1348
01:08:04,413 --> 01:08:06,782
Millions of others, who never met her
1349
01:08:06,782 --> 01:08:10,553
but felt they knew her, will remember her.
1350
01:08:10,553 --> 01:08:13,089
I, for one, believe there are lessons
1351
01:08:13,089 --> 01:08:14,924
to be drawn from her life
1352
01:08:14,924 --> 01:08:19,829
and from the extraordinary and moving reaction to her death.
1353
01:08:19,829 --> 01:08:24,200
I share in your determination to cherish her memory.
1354
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,770
-Like Diana, the queen even takes the extraordinary step
1355
01:08:27,770 --> 01:08:31,774
of speaking with everyday Britons outside the palace.
1356
01:08:33,676 --> 01:08:36,145
-Even in death, Diana was shifting the way
1357
01:08:36,145 --> 01:08:37,613
that the monarchy did things.
1358
01:08:37,613 --> 01:08:40,950
Never before had we seen Queen Elizabeth get up close
1359
01:08:40,950 --> 01:08:43,853
and personal with the public like that before.
1360
01:08:45,454 --> 01:08:47,690
-Diana was such a beloved figure.
1361
01:08:47,690 --> 01:08:49,925
That's how strong her influence was
1362
01:08:49,925 --> 01:08:53,429
and how she was able to just keep changing the royal family
1363
01:08:53,429 --> 01:08:55,598
even after she had died.
1364
01:08:58,868 --> 01:09:03,339
-The next day, on September 6th, the world stops to watch England
1365
01:09:03,339 --> 01:09:06,709
lay the people's princess to rest.
1366
01:09:06,709 --> 01:09:10,346
-This funeral is an object of intense fascination,
1367
01:09:10,346 --> 01:09:12,047
like everything about Diana.
1368
01:09:12,047 --> 01:09:15,818
It has more than twice as many viewers as watched her wedding.
1369
01:09:15,818 --> 01:09:18,988
This is 2.5 billion viewers worldwide.
1370
01:09:18,988 --> 01:09:22,458
That's an enormous amount of the world's population.
1371
01:09:22,458 --> 01:09:25,261
-We all remember those heartbreaking pictures
1372
01:09:25,261 --> 01:09:28,430
of the boys walking behind the casket.
1373
01:09:28,430 --> 01:09:31,800
They clearly couldn't even look at it.
1374
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,837
Harry later said it was like an out-of-body experience,
1375
01:09:34,837 --> 01:09:37,540
that he really just heard the hooves of a horse.
1376
01:09:37,540 --> 01:09:40,009
He had to disassociate from what was going on
1377
01:09:40,009 --> 01:09:41,777
because of the trauma.
1378
01:09:41,777 --> 01:09:43,078
-On the coffin,
1379
01:09:43,078 --> 01:09:47,483
there is this arrangement of flowers and a little card
1380
01:09:47,483 --> 01:09:50,319
over it on which Harry has written in this messy
1381
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:52,821
12-year-old-boy handwriting, "Mummy."
1382
01:09:52,821 --> 01:09:58,961
That really just speaks to the tragedy of this moment.
1383
01:09:58,961 --> 01:10:02,531
-Harry has talked about what that moment did to him
1384
01:10:02,531 --> 01:10:04,366
and how it affected his mental health,
1385
01:10:04,366 --> 01:10:06,268
because he said that there was thousands
1386
01:10:06,268 --> 01:10:07,703
and thousands of people
1387
01:10:07,703 --> 01:10:10,706
crying about his mother who they didn't know,
1388
01:10:10,706 --> 01:10:12,841
and he couldn't find those tears because he was just
1389
01:10:12,841 --> 01:10:14,910
so overwhelmed about what was going on,
1390
01:10:14,910 --> 01:10:18,147
that it really stayed with him for a very long time,
1391
01:10:18,147 --> 01:10:19,748
even to this day.
1392
01:10:19,748 --> 01:10:22,451
-The funeral reaches an emotional capstone
1393
01:10:22,451 --> 01:10:25,120
with Diana's younger brother, Charles Spencer,
1394
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,090
delivering a moving eulogy.
1395
01:10:28,090 --> 01:10:29,658
-I stand before you today,
1396
01:10:29,658 --> 01:10:32,595
the representative of a family in grief
1397
01:10:32,595 --> 01:10:36,966
in a country in mourning before a world in shock.
1398
01:10:36,966 --> 01:10:40,269
-Princess Diana's brother did not hold back.
1399
01:10:40,269 --> 01:10:41,804
He criticized the press.
1400
01:10:41,804 --> 01:10:45,407
He talked frankly about how they always chased her down.
1401
01:10:45,407 --> 01:10:46,675
She was not treated like a human.
1402

01:19:21,323 --> 01:19:23,425
which, you know, the royal family doesn't do.
1575
01:19:23,425 --> 01:19:27,062
So I think that, maybe, rubbed people the wrong way.
1576
01:19:27,062 --> 01:19:28,597
-The media scrutiny only got worse,
1577
01:19:28,597 --> 01:19:31,900
and Meghan suddenly found herself in a royal family
1578
01:19:31,900 --> 01:19:33,401
that was not very welcoming.
1579
01:19:33,401 --> 01:19:36,271
Just like Princess Diana, she felt very lonely,
1580
01:19:36,271 --> 01:19:39,941
and she began to have her own struggles with mental health.
1581
01:19:39,941 --> 01:19:43,345
-So the prince makes a shocking move.
1582
01:19:43,345 --> 01:19:45,947
-Breaking news tonight -- the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
1583
01:19:45,947 --> 01:19:47,916
have announced that they are carving out
1584
01:19:47,916 --> 01:19:50,852
what they call a new role for themselves.
1585
01:19:50,852 --> 01:19:53,021
They say they intend to step back
1586
01:19:53,021 --> 01:19:55,457
as senior members of the royal family
1587
01:19:55,457 --> 01:19:58,126
and work to become financially independent.
1588
01:19:58,126 --> 01:20:00,495
-The world was absolutely rocked when it was announced
1589
01:20:00,495 --> 01:20:04,099
that Harry and Meghan were leaving the royal family.
1590
01:20:04,099 --> 01:20:05,901
-And I think jaws were on the floor, like,
1591
01:20:05,901 --> 01:20:07,302
"This has never been done before.
1592
01:20:07,302 --> 01:20:09,337
Somebody just doesn't elect to leave
1593
01:20:09,337 --> 01:20:12,874
one of the most prestigious families in the entire world."
1594
01:20:12,874 --> 01:20:16,945
-When she began to have mental-health problems
1595
01:20:16,945 --> 01:20:18,580
by being in that royal bubble,
1596
01:20:18,580 --> 01:20:22,884
Prince Harry took action because here's a mother he could save.
1597
01:20:22,884 --> 01:20:24,986
He couldn't save his own mother,
1598
01:20:24,986 --> 01:20:27,255
but he can save the mother of his children.
1599
01:20:27,255 --> 01:20:29,391
-After initially moving to Canada,
1600
01:20:29,391 --> 01:20:32,260
Harry, Meghan, and their one-year-old son, Archie,
1601
01:20:32,260 --> 01:20:35,764
eventually relocate to Montecito, California,
1602
01:20:35,764 --> 01:20:38,066
near Santa Barbara.
1603
01:20:38,066 --> 01:20:39,467
Like Diana's explosive
1604
01:20:39,467 --> 01:20:43,605
1995 interview with journalist Martin Bashir...
1605
01:20:43,605 --> 01:20:46,641
-Well, there were three of us in this marriage,
1606
01:20:46,641 --> 01:20:49,010
so it was a bit crowded.
1607
01:20:49,010 --> 01:20:50,745
-...in March 2021,
1608
01:20:50,745 --> 01:20:54,850
Harry and Meghan give their own exclusive interview to Oprah,
1609
01:20:54,850 --> 01:20:57,185
explaining their decision.
1610
01:20:57,185 --> 01:20:59,988
-There were some real obvious signs,
1611
01:20:59,988 --> 01:21:01,990
before we even got married,
1612
01:21:01,990 --> 01:21:03,625
that this was going to be really hard.
1613
01:21:03,625 --> 01:21:06,228
-I left my career, my life.
1614
01:21:06,228 --> 01:21:08,563
I left everything because I love him, right?
1615
01:21:08,563 --> 01:21:11,366
-In that interview, it's revealed that Meghan
1616
01:21:11,366 --> 01:21:13,435
has struggled with her mental health,
1617
01:21:13,435 --> 01:21:16,338
that she had suicidal thoughts
1618
01:21:16,338 --> 01:21:19,307
while a member of the royal family,
1619
01:21:19,307 --> 01:21:24,045
and that help was not only not offered to her
1620
01:21:24,045 --> 01:21:25,547
but denied to her.
1621
01:21:25,547 --> 01:21:27,549
There were also the allegations of racism
1622
01:21:27,549 --> 01:21:30,552
within the royal family, where Meghan expressed
1623
01:21:30,552 --> 01:21:32,520
that certain individuals in the family
1624
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:37,325
had questioned what color her children's skin would be.
1625
01:21:37,325 --> 01:21:41,129
-At the time, it was awkward. I was a bit shocked.
1626
01:21:41,129 --> 01:21:42,597
-Can you tell us what the question was?
1627
01:21:42,597 --> 01:21:46,034
-No, I don't -- I'm not comfortable sharing that.
1628
01:21:46,034 --> 01:21:49,404
-Many royal watchers believe the interview causes a deep
1629
01:21:49,404 --> 01:21:51,339
and possible irrevocable rift
1630
01:21:51,339 --> 01:21:55,610
between Harry and some within the royal family.
1631
01:21:55,610 --> 01:21:58,146
-There have been reports that Charles and Harry
1632
01:21:58,146 --> 01:22:00,148
have not spoken in 18 months,
1633
01:22:00,148 --> 01:22:04,119
that William and Harry do not speak to each other very often.
1634
01:22:04,119 --> 01:22:06,588
-But on July 1st, 2021,
1635
01:22:06,588 --> 01:22:08,623
the brothers set aside their differences
1636
01:22:08,623 --> 01:22:11,359
for the dedication of the statue of their mother
1637
01:22:11,359 --> 01:22:14,195
in the sunken garden at Kensington Palace
1638
01:22:14,195 --> 01:22:16,665
on what would have been her 60th birthday.
1639
01:22:16,665 --> 01:22:20,168
-All smiles, they would have known the world was watching,
1640
01:22:20,168 --> 01:22:23,238
but this felt like a genuine reunion.
1641
01:22:23,238 --> 01:22:26,641
Two sons who have had their troubles coming together
1642
01:22:26,641 --> 01:22:29,377
with Princess Diana's brother and sisters
1643
01:22:29,377 --> 01:22:30,946
to remember their mother.
1644
01:22:30,946 --> 01:22:33,782
-Before Diana, it was all about duty trumping love.
1645
01:22:33,782 --> 01:22:36,518
It was all about what was best for the royal family,
1646
01:22:36,518 --> 01:22:39,387
what was best for the crown, what was best for the monarchy.
1647
01:22:39,387 --> 01:22:41,957
But after Diana, you saw that shift.
1648
01:22:41,957 --> 01:22:45,226
You even saw it with Charles choosing his love story
1649
01:22:45,226 --> 01:22:47,128
and finally marrying Camilla.
1650
01:22:47,128 --> 01:22:49,397
Harry married Meghan just for love,
1651
01:22:49,397 --> 01:22:51,800
and William married Kate, so it was definitely --
1652
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:55,003
it's almost like the monarchy took a little bit of a back seat
1653
01:22:55,003 --> 01:22:56,404
when it came to relationships.
1654
01:22:56,404 --> 01:22:59,574
And that's, I think, in testament to Diana.
1655
01:22:59,574 --> 01:23:03,545
-Almost 25 years after that tragic night in Paris,
1656
01:23:03,545 --> 01:23:07,582
Princess Diana's impact is still being felt.
1657
01:23:07,582 --> 01:23:10,952
-I think Diana's legacy is that, in many ways,
1658
01:23:10,952 --> 01:23:15,190
she brought the royal family from the past to the present.
1659
01:23:15,190 --> 01:23:17,625
And by that, I mean she turned them
1660
01:23:17,625 --> 01:23:19,561
into something that's more human.
1661
01:23:19,561 --> 01:23:22,364
She transformed them from an institution
1662
01:23:22,364 --> 01:23:25,367
that was about palace walls,
1663
01:23:25,367 --> 01:23:28,937
about tradition, about keeping up appearances.
1664
01:23:28,937 --> 01:23:33,441
And she transformed them into something that was also human,
1665
01:23:33,441 --> 01:23:37,145
that also had hurt, that also had a vulnerability,
1666
01:23:37,145 --> 01:23:40,248
and that people could make mistakes in
1667
01:23:40,248 --> 01:23:42,350
and that they could forge their own paths in.
1668
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:44,019
They didn't just have to be trapped there.
1669
01:23:44,019 --> 01:23:47,422
They could start writing their own stories if they wanted to.
1670
01:23:47,422 --> 01:23:50,225
And none of that would happen if not for Diana.
