Clumsy ‘Diana’ like a trashy made-for-TV movie - only longer

In life, Diana, Princess Of Wales divided opinion, so it’s fitting that Oliver Hirschbiegel’s drama, based on Kate Snell’s contentious book ‘Diana: Her Last Love’, should have stirred controversy before a single frame has unspooled on the big screen.

Dr Hasnat Khan, the subject of the picture, publicly denounced ‘Diana’ as a fiction, while a pre-recorded radio interview with star Naomi Watts ended abruptly with the suggestion that she walked out on DJ Simon Mayo.
