This program was based on copyright 1998 material so it is dated but still one of the best Diana DVD's out there. I know of three, Diana: People's Princess (hard to find but look for it), Diana & Dodi (the worst one of the bunch), and this one. Here you get a selection of scenes from throughout the Princess's life, even a few that I hadn't seen elsewhere on tape or DVD. The price is fantastic, the picture quality is good considering the source material. Not much to complain about except the editing, some material is arranged in an odd order or needs renarrated to give a stronger Diana angle. You get the usual crop of interviews from the usual people (just once I'd like to hear her really close friends), some material appears to be duplicated from the Prince William: Future King video.

I was disappointed with this DVD because most of the footage seemed to have been filmed after Diana's divorce. I was hoping for more older footage from the 1980s.

I gave this 3 stars for lack of origional material. The old footage is still nice to have in a compact format.

This DVD is not about the Princess's life, it contains no interesting footage, like one from her wedding or from the early 80's...

You'll be disappointed if you spend anything on this DVD. Please do not buy it.

In the strange mirror-world of celebrity people are very often the reverse of what they seem. JF Kennedy a faithful husband? Diana was not what she seemed to the hoi polloi. To put it bluntly, she couldn't even keep staff for very long before they tired of her psychotic antics.
