A new three-part documentary series, 'Diana Unheard,' is set to reveal Princess Diana in her own words through never-before-heard audio tapes.
The tapes, recorded in 1991 with her friend James Colthurst, were previously used for Andrew Morton's book 'Diana: Her True Story.' Producers aim to offer a fresh perspective, portraying Diana as a brave woman with agency rather than a tragic figure.
These recordings delve into her relationships, including a significant exchange with Camilla about Prince Charles, and discuss her sons and the royal succession. They also shed light on historical royal matters involving Prince Andrew.
The documentary unpacks the secrecy involved in making these recordings and Diana's motivations for releasing them anonymously. The series features interviews with Morton, Colthurst, and Michael O'Mara, as well as Diana's former lover, Major James Hewitt.
Produced by a female-led team, 'Diana Unheard' seeks to showcase Diana's drive from a young age and provides insights into her personal life, including moments of laughter and childhood memories.
Distributed by Cineflix Rights, the series is expected to generate significant international interest. The producers framed the documentary as 'what Diana would have done if she was still alive today.'
