Dear Anglophiles, if you’ve not seen the new, riveting documentary about Princess Diana, Diana: In Her Own Words, here is your chance. (The documentary, on video, is posted below.) The documentary includes actual footage of Diana talking with her voice coach about her personal life and her marriage to Prince Charles. Great controversy surrounded the recent release of the documentary on Channel 4 in Britain, as the 20th anniversary of Diana's death approaches. (She died on August 31, 1997.) Those opposed to airing the documentary—including her brother Earl Spencer and many in the palace as well—claimed that the contents were private, unintended for the public domain, and that they may distress her children. Nevertheless, the documentary aired, drawing record viewers to Channel 4, with over 3.5 million people watching the documentary. Now, you too, may see it.
