The documentary ... uses archival footage - including exclusive home footage of Diana as a young girl - to paint a complete picture of the people's princess and her lasting legacy. Go to Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News 01/23/2018
The Story of Diana doesn't reduce Diana to a victim, noting that her life was marked by extensive humanitarian work, a sense of concern for those outside the traditional royal sphere and an enduring sense of grace under pressure. Go to Full Review Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture 01/23/2018
I felt that in some ways I wanted a documentary that covered the expected bases - the wedding day, the famous dance with Travolta, etc. - and provided a general overview, and it served that purpose. Go to Full Review Amy Glynn Paste Magazine 01/23/2018
The "Diana experts" in this one are less prurient, more measured; there's interesting archival footage, and you get to know a little more about her own upbringing and some of the biographical tributaries that fed into who she was as Princess of Wales.

11/28/2020 Grotesque American version of Diana's life. Version's are of course the same. But please stop making it look like the day in the life of the Kardashians. See more johann m @Johann33 06/17/2018 A thourough documentary about the story of Princess Diana, she was and is still beloved by millions, but plagued by hidden turmoil. A tale of royalty, resilience and the heavy cost of fame. Fortunately, although his life was cut short due to the intense and extremely annoying journalists, her legacy lives on! Deeply moving!
