Featured reviews
What struck me was that Diana knew what she was getting into, but marched inexorably forward as if she was powerlessly drawn to a destiny she'd chosen for herself as a child.
There's a compelling inevitability to the whole thing that reflects our own lives, and our own choices, back at us. How many times have you known that a certain course of action will bring you pain and suffering, and yet you continue down the path without heeding your better instincts? Perhaps that's the compelling factor in Diana's story.
When she died, I had no idea who she was. To me, she was just another, ugly, rich person. I wondered why people found her so fascinating and why people cared about her death.
Seeing, "The Crown," season 4 and this documentary was eye opening.
This movie is well done and it's brilliant to be able to hear someone who is honest in their opinions . . . this is really why Princess Di was loved by so many.
Most of us are not best suited for any particular life, but we adapt. It's great to hear and see that "having everything," doesn't always mean what you think it means.
In time, Diana was able to find her role in the monarchy: the People's princess. She seemed to have a genuine concern for the downtrodden, the marginalized. She related to them. So sorry that she left us so soon.

Interviewer: Right, questions, here we are. Yeah, has anything come up since the last meeting? Any after thoughts?
Princess Diana: Well, only about being accused very early on of stopping him hunting and shooting.
Interviewer: Let's now go back to the other life before this life, as it were. Your first memory after being born, so anything as a child.
Princess Diana: I mean it was an unhappy childhood. I remember seeing my father slap mother across the face and I was hiding behind a door. And she was crying.
