However, The Princess reframes her story by taking an entirely immersive approach, drawing solely from audio and video footage from the time to take audiences back to these era-defining events as they happened, and in doing so, allows the narrative to unfold as if it were in the present.

Produced by Lightbox in association with HBO and Sky, directed by Academy Award-nominated Ed Perkins (Black Sheep, Tell Me Who I Am) with Academy Award-winning producer Simon Chinn (Man on Wire, Searching for Sugar Man) and Emmy Award-winning producer Jonathan Chinn (LA92, TINA), The Princess is described as a fresh and bold account of Diana’s life and death.
