The Royal Family Joins A Huge Mass Of Grieving Souls In England & The World
AudioFileZ4 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I think many people will get a glimpse into something seldom seen here. For people who were not yet born when JFK was assassinated it is hard for them to wrap there mental acuity to the immensity of that event. Much the same here, but I as an adult at the time of Diana's untimely death wasn't even aware of all that is presented here. This documentary goes a huge distance in giving a bigger picture as well as more unique inner glimpse as to the the people of Britain, the Royal Family, and the beloved Diana. Curiosity made me click on this documentary with little expectation that I'd be interested enough to watch it through. I underrated how well it documented the significance of what proved to be the largest public outcry over another human being ever. The old phrase "in for a penny, in for a pound" comes to mind as if you just watch for a few minutes you find yourself committed to watching in it's entirety. This is a well-done look at one of modern history's most unique events which, instead of the typical divisiveness of humanity, ends up celebrating a rare unity. RIP Diana, you are truly missedÂ…And missed by those who never even actually knew you, but nonetheless were deeply moved by you and your spirit. That's a lovely tribute and this document nails it.

Excellent documentary.

A thoughtful, well-made documentary that covers some very well-trodden ground. There isn't much here that hasn't been seen and heard before, but it adds to the overall wealth of historical data with some interesting first-person accounts from people close to the inner circle.

At times it felt a little rushed, and some of the interviewees gave testimony that was interesting enough to sustain more screen time than the scant seconds they were edited down to. It certainly moves along very speedily and, in my case at least, it left me wanting more. Well worth a watch.

The best documentary about Diana Spencer
bettycjung1 September 2017
8/14/17. This is the best documentary I have seen about the death of Diana Spencer. I know because I couldn't help tearing up as I was watching this, 20 years later. She was a controversial figure, against the rigid monarchy, but she was a very modern monarch and knew how to manipulate the media to look good. It was just too bad she couldn't control the paparazzi who were forever on her tail, all the way to the end. So, if you were born after 1997, you should watch this and learn about the perils of too much exposure.
