Her story is one of human beings, flaws, foibles, egos and all in the pressure cooker of royalty and how it all played out. there are no heros in it. And no martyrs or victims either.
Diana was certainly not the fairy princess that the public saw in her. And the good queen simply could not understand that the British poeple at the death of Diana basically had a collective nervous breakdown. So the movie should be a sight to see. Cheers. Thomas Parkman

What nonsense. It is a film. Who really knows how accurate it is. The British people did not have a "collective nervouse breakdown" there is no such thing. They recognized that had she been treated with decency and love from the prince, this young, lovely, troubled woman would still be alive. The villifying machines could not work as well when she was alive. She could answer. They had to wait until her death. Then they spewed as much muck as they could, so as to build up the prince's tarnished image. The Queen was totally out of touch with her subjects on this, as demonstrated. It was a time when the sacrosanct BRF had to answer to a very distraught public. They did not like it. Their more open attitudes today, stem from that very time.
