When is Diana documentary release date? Sky and HBO programme to include unseen archive footage

Directed by Tell Me Who I Am's Ed Perkins, Diana will tell the princess' story through the use of news reports, unseen footage and photographs, Deadline reports.

“Though we are telling a story which has been told and re-told many times, my aim is to reframe it for a modern audience and make it feel as fresh and relevant as it ever has," Perkins said. "The idea of taking an archive-only approach will allow us to immerse audiences in the narrative as if it were being told in the present."

“I want to bring this account of her life to audiences in a more emotional and unmediated way than has been done before and, rather than re-analysing it or offering another retrospective commentary, I want to invite audiences to bring their own memories and reflections and allow them to see and experience it afresh.”

Diana Spencer, who became the first wife of Prince Charles at the age of 20 in 1981, died in a car crash in August 1997.
