The Real Princess Diana

History Hit
About this episode

However you feel about the royal family, there's no denying, there was something about Princess Diana.


From the clothes she wore to the causes she championed, she set the template for the modern royal, ruffling a lot of feathers in the process.


Why did she speak to us so much? Was there any truth to rumours of the affairs both Charles and Diana had? And were the public in any way complicit in her downfall?


Helping Kate separate Diana fact from fiction is author and royal historian, Dr. Tessa Dunlop. In the second part of the episode, Kate is speaking to Dominic Wong, curator of the photography exhibition Princess Diana: Accredited Access, to find out the backstory to some of the most iconic photos of Diana during her lifetime.


This episode was edited by Tom Delargy. The producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
