Diana: Her True Story<\/a>\u2019. The same clips now form the basis for a three-part documentary produced by Love Monday TV.<\/p>\nIts producers have told the Deadline the tapes “cover some of the ground explored by her brother, Earl Spencer, in his recent book Swan Song,” paving the way for more context to come out over his claims.<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s brother has been in a war of words with Buckingham Palace after claiming King Charles said “rest assured, we\u2019ll forget her soon enough” following Diana\u2019s sudden death in a Paris car crash in August 1997.<\/p>\n
In a statement released last month, the Palace responded, saying: \u201cWhile we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Love Monday\u2019s Kerene Barefield said the motivation behind the new series was not to settle old scores, but to “give Diana a voice”.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cThe media always gave us this tragedy that Diana was sad and lonely, and she was manipulated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese tapes don’t tell that story at all. They tell a story of an incredibly brave woman who had agency and knew what she wanted and how she was going to get to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is thought to be the first time one organisation has been given access to the entire archive of tapes in one go, and Ms Barefield said they reveal Diana\u2019s human qualities.<\/p>\n
She explained: \u201cOne of the things I loved when I first heard the tapes was just hearing her laughter. In the middle episode, we go back to her childhood. There’s all this stuff that you wouldn’t expect and I think it shows that she had that agency and that kind of drive from a very young age.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prince Harry<\/a> is also set to mark Diana\u2019s death by reportedly producing a documentary, but no official announcement has been made by the Duke of Sussex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Previously unheard tapes recorded by Princess Diana are to be released and could expose the truth on claims…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[8668,156,11061,111,139,69,17823],"class_list":["post-624125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-diana","tag-entertainment","tag-king-charles-iii","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-princess-of-wales"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
