In 1991, inside London\u2019s Kensington Palace, Diana, Princess of Wales, participated in a series of secret interviews, recorded with her permission by a close friend on behalf of journalist Andrew Morton. Morton was writing a book about Diana\u2019s life to reveal what life was really like for the most photographed woman in the world. The public was unaware that Diana, Princess of Wales\u2019, marriage to HRH Prince of Wales was at a crisis point. Now, National Geographic Documentary Films reveals Diana\u2019s thoughts and feelings at a very specific point in her life, presenting one side of a very complicated story, her side. Entirely in her voice, with no interviews, most of these unique recordings have never been broadcast before. DIANA: IN HER OWN WORDS weaves archival footage and photography with these rarely heard recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She came to be known as the People\u2019s Princess, and few public figures remain as beloved and enigmatic as Diana, Princess of Wales. From the moment the shy kindergarten teacher whose innate charm caught the attention of the heir to the royal throne, a modern icon was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In vivid detail, Princess Diana reflects upon the full story of her life, depicting her circumstances in 1991. She candidly takes viewers from her unhappy childhood to her awkward introduction to HRH Prince of Wales when she was just 16 years old, and the dramatic tale of a young girl thrust upon the world\u2019s stage. Hounded by the press and embraced by a nation captivated by the \u2018fairy-tale\u2019 romance, she was completely unprepared for the fame that engulfed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIANA: IN HER OWN WORDS captures a split in the Princess\u2019 public and private personas, underscoring intense often convoluted descriptions of her thoughts and feelings in 1991. Unflinchingly, she recounts her emotional wedding day and her experiences with postpartum depression, bulimia and her eventual triumph over her crippling anxiety to emerge as global humanitarian \u2014 the iconic, beloved People\u2019s Princess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
