Princess Diana

Princess Diana. How should we remember the 鈥楶eople鈥檚 Princess鈥� today?

Princess Diana was one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. Not only was she married to the future King of England, she was also a fashion icon, a humanitarian, a devoted mother, and a role model for millions. However, her life was far from the fairytale she鈥檇 envisioned, and was instead marred by heartbreak and tragedy.

So how did a young, shy girl cope with such massive fame? Why did her marriage to Prince Charles break down so spectacularly? And how should we remember the 鈥楶eople鈥檚 Princess鈥� today?

This is a Short History Of鈥� Princess Diana.

A Noiser Production, written by Nicole Edmunds. With thanks to Dr Tessa Dunlop, historian, author, and award-winning broadcaster.
