TV review: The Princess — No wonder Diana barely smiled during her wedding

The Princess airs on Sky Documentaries and on Now: film-maker, Ed Perkins, is shouting for Team Diana, and so will you when you see who is on the other side

They treated Princess Di like an animal. That’s what I got from The Princess (Sky Documentaries and NOW TV app).

The documentary film is an eerie treat, made up of contemporary news footage, daytime TV takes from Oprah Winfrey & Co, radio phone-in clips and actors’ voices relaying haughty press articles on the royal marriage. There is no voice-over or modern-day take from that lowest-of-the-low — a professional royal watcher. So the message is all the more stark.
