Show Notes

This month marks 25 years since Diana, Princess of Wales died in a car crash in Paris.  

The shadow of her still hangs over the British monarchy, which today finds itself embroiled in its more contentious period since the bitter divorce of Diana and Prince Charles.  

Now, a new documentary to mark the anniversary of her death reframes Diana’s time in the spotlight, using existing footage from the period to explore a modern day tragedy.  

Today, Ed Perkins, the director of The Princess, joins Damien to discuss Princess Diana’s legacy and how her public fight eerily reflects the Royal’s current battles.
