Product Description

Diana, the Princess of Wales, had been divorced from Prince Charles for just a year. She was dating Dodi Al-Fayed, the son of Egyptian billionaire and owner of the British department store Harrods, Mohamed Al-Fayed, when a Paris weekend took a tragic turn. An automobile accident claimed their lives and that of a chauffer who was later found to have been drinking before taking the wheel. ABC News takes you back to August 31, 1997, during the Labor Day holiday weekend in the United States, when the world first heard reports of a car accident involving Princess Diana. Coverage picks up six days later, as the whole world mourned and Princess Diana's funeral procession made its way through the crowds lining the streets of London. Peter Jennings and Barbara Walters cover the events of the day with commentary from royal biographers Sarah Bradford and Andrew Morton. It culminated with the funeral service at Westminster Abby.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hits the Highlights but..., September 9, 2008

By	TEM (New England, USA) - See all my reviews

...it misses a lot too. There is of course the ABC "Special Report" segments but nothing about Prince Charles's journey to Paris to bring his ex-wife's body home. They've included the highlights of the funeral service but left out all of the music, which I remember as being very moving and they end without showing the hearse being showered with flowers. It just seemed they could have included more clips for the price of the DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Death of Princess Diana, January 7, 2008

By	Laura Jo Farries (Stafford, VA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent report of the death of Princess Diana. It makes no judgements, it states facts. I'd recommend this to anyone. I just wish it was a little longer and gave more details! I bought this as a set with the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

I liked the presentation of this event. Basically a video of the news on that day. Not bad.
