Diana: In Her Own Words (Full Episode) | SPECIAL | National Geographic 

I agree completely.

Camella didn't put her country first.

Absolutely true she is not fit for that position.. I don't see the heart of Camilla. No one can ever replace Princess Diana to be the Queen

I completely agree. If her life was not so short, she would have made such a big difference in the world.

It was so wretched to watch this coronation. I thought that when William is king the blemish of Camilla will be over 🤦🏻‍♀️

William and Charles in particular, may release statements to try and smother it as they did the BBC interview. Thank goodness Natgeo is not British. They have the safety of distance in a country with a historical distaste for monarchy.

And the older generation needs to be reminded

SO TRUE.

No one will ever forget she existed no matter what their opinion is of Lady Diana. Her life has been examined and re-examined ad infinitum and still she draws the attention that Camilla never will. It’s a messy affair all the way around. Unfortunately, you can see the fallout in Prince Harry.

​@@sharonsparks900 Dr mi no

@@sharonsparks900 unfortunately, many people have read Lady Colin Campbell's book of lies! She's a Narcissist that has subscribers eating out of her hand. There's an old debate on Sally Jesse Raphael's show with Andrew Morton and her. Her unauthorized book came out months ahead of Mr. Morton's Lady C deflects, hurls humours insults and talks over others to claim her unauthorized bio of Diana is truth.

@@sharonsparks900 I'm not sure that what is happening with Harry is "unfortunate." Harry is finding the footing that you have to find if you are to live up to your potential. He seems the most likely to carry on the legacy of caring that Diana began. Like her, he seems to have been forced to realize that this thing called royalty is done with smoke and mirrors.

I rather watch this than the coronation, I just think about Diana

​@@___beyondhorizon4664 true

She is the only true Queen and always will be in my book! ❤

The world knows who and what destroyed Lady Diana.

Camilla will always fall short. I will always think of her as the greatest suspect in Diana's death through media frenzy. Camilla runs the media and paparazzis.

I think it's very hard at that age, but Diana is extraordinary, she can handle it calmly and humbly even though we know she always feels uncomfortable with all of that which can be seen in her shy and closed nature

That was the norm in those days . Women typically married at 18-19. So, it was pretty darn normal. No one, and I mean no one back then, thought she might be too young.

I don't think she took it well. She even couldn't stop vomiting while pregnancy. I don't blame or hate on her but remeber they are millions of young mothers struggling alone outside without the money and stuff Diana had. I know money doesn't make happy but at least her kids didn't have to starve. They are also million of Dianas treated bad by the husband and mistress who will be not rembered for that

She used Charles to make her dream come true : " becoming famous " . . .

No she did not do well. Spend a great deal of the time in moody needy attention seeking and many trips to the toilet.etc.thats not doing reasonably well

I think she knew something was planned against her life

Me too.

@@lizkim1546 why should they plan something?

@@simonecarey296 ohhh I believe that!

100 percent very true!

now theres camilla

This is in her book "in her words" it's very good!!!

That’s why it’s more than fair that Harry did the same! I just finished his book and after watching this, I have no doubt that he had to write that book and tell his side of the story even if he would be criticized. I hope siblings and father can understand each other and forgive. After all, there was a lot this siblings had to forgive to their father betraying their mom and causing her so much pain. After that, Harry words are nothing.

@@joanacarvalhotoderian yes I agree especially where people are in a position in life where others will control that persons story if they don’t take charge of it themselves.

@@joanacarvalhotoderian Before Charles resumed his affair with Camilla Diana caused HIM a lot of pain. There are enough credible eyewitness accounts that show she was not the innocent victim she pretended to be.Though not much is known about his feelings during the tough years of their marriage, there are reports and letters that indicate he was severely depressed. It was the best for both of them that they went separate ways around 1985/86, each with different partners. And don’t forget, Diana was never without a boyfriend from 1985 onwards. Although some of them were married, there sure must have been periods of great happiness. Her life was definitely not a sad one

Diana was sure that she would marry Prince Andrew when she grew up. Her family took to calling her Dutch because they were also sure she would marry Andrew and become a Duchess. Once Diana realized that she could actually catch Charles, the chase was on and facilitated by her family. Diana feigned interest in Charles’ interests and hobbies (Balmoral, fishing hunting, etc.)-basically, she pretended to be who Camilla is, a hunting, shooting, fishing, reading country girl. Then as soon as they were on their honeymoon (most of which was at Balmoral), Diana declared each of his interests as borrrring. When the honeymoon moved on to Balmoral she would have have fits of screaming and crying when he wouldn’t do what she wanted when she wanted him to do it (the court was at Balmoral for the summer so there was official business going on and many witnesses). After the honeymoon she proceeded to, one by one, separate him from his friends (he would give in to avoid conflict with her), then his staff (who would quit because she would not look at or speak to those she wanted to leave. In her mind, she loved him, but then attempted to change everything about him, and if he wanted any kind of peace, he would comply. Diana and her family, particularly the Spencers, were very ambitious and misrepresented who she was to the RF, particularly regarding her emotional health & stability. The Spencer’s actually had a bit of a reputation for unstable men (Diana’s mom cited abuse in the divorce), but the RF didn’t think the mental issues affect the Spencer women. Diana actually refused to cooperate with mental health professionals provided by the RF when they realized how unstable she was, and wouldn’t accept mental health help for years (yes, the RF tried to get her professional help) until a friend threatened to out her bulimia to the press because she was afraid it would kill her. And that is just how she treated Charles. As a grown woman she held hostility towards her mother for leaving her abusive father (her mother took Diana & her brother with her but lost custody), pushed her 60 year old stepmother down the stairs (long after Diana married btw), threw her stepmother’s things out the window in trash bags after her father died, fired one staff for claiming expenses with the palace for some trips with Diana (completely legitimate expenses), and fired another who was the currier delivering tapes to Andrew Morten for her for accepting reimbursement from the publishing company. The virginal “Shy Di” persona was completely a creation of a press. A bit like the common impression that the Queen Mother “sweet ol’granny.” Diana strayed first from the marital bed, with her affair that began in 1985 with her protection officer, Barry Mannakee. She met James Hewitt shortly afterward, and they became lovers that November.

She was a notorious liar so her "story" is no doubt full of the same.

What a beautiful Queen Diana would have made...if only Charles had been faithful to his marriage vows, Diana would still be with us. So sad.

Yes, me, too. I thought of her the whole time.

her life was never normal or perfect...Diana had too much baggage....then Charles also have had his own set of problems....with his own royal life,....his father was a distant tough guy ....who wanted to emulate him...Charles was sensitive,

The Inquest pointed out that Diana was taken to hospital a long while after a particular doctor just happened to be in the vicinity of the fatal crash, just so happens when an ambulance was called they didn't take Diana to the nearest hospital either they took her to the hospital furthest away. Lots of interesting things in the documentary about the Inquest.@@firenze5555

He tortured her for years and finally killed her and walked in her funeral and deviantly enacted this play in front of people, that she’s the problematic one, the one with mental illness and the cause of the divorce, the one who cheated, and her death is a paparazzi accident. He tarnished her reputation during and after her death forever thereafter. An absolute demented demon. And people still are gullible enough not only to not haunt him down and hang him but to worship him!

*in our hearts

Yeah, borderliners lead a horrible existance. But it's even worse for the people who had the misfortune to be her husband, boyfriends and sons.

She made a comment saying look what's going to happen next.

Coz they planned, Charle's planned for an accident, car accident she said in her diary

11:56 she knew !!

She said that.

Regrettably Diana's words did not match up with others who were present during the various conversations

​@@susanlockyer1192 Regrettably none of those people are trustworthy as they were all helping Charles and Camilla cheat for thr duration of that marriage.

@@susanlockyer1192 what's that supposed to mean

@@rosemma34 Diana tended to embroider her stories

@@susanlockyer1192 With no links to any evidence, you spout off complete BS.

Yes but Charles is very intellectual and he was making a self deprecating joke.

@@Tawadeb of course...

She did not know a thousand words. She never even passed her O levels. Just like Harry.

yes, she had terribly sad eyes, you can see that she had a very sad life and depression. you can be rich and all, but if you aren't loved back by the person you love, it's soul-crashing. Diana is really a modern Shakespearean tragedy.

Ya i think so. She has eyes that mean a lot. It denotes patience, sorrow, innocence, pain and sincerity. Anyone who saw her would sympathize when they saw her eyes ..

@@tessdurberville711 I agree. She came into this world to do the job she did and left before her beauty and youth left her. People need to move on

@@tessdurberville711 Be a little more specific what you mean for the more nonverbal of us.

The boys had all their material needs met, but sadly not their emotional ones. Can you imagine your mother passes, and your father's mistress that help break up the marriage and family ends up being your stepmother?

The boys ended up with crewella.

Hearing her say that Harry was closer to Charles is really sad - she would’ve been heartbroken at how Charles broke up the family, repeating the same behavior on her children.

Shanis Maria Kiran: Charles said "Whatever love means" in a humorous manner; his remark has been badly misinterpreted.

@@murdochmclennan3510 He said it in a snarky manner and considering that he had no intention of giving up of playing the field, it is sinister. He was in his thirties and Diana was a teenager. Poor Diana.

What ever love means. Haven't we all at sometime got tongue tied or said the wrong thing. He did love her.untill he got to know her.

yes he was....he meant what he said@@firenze5555

@@murdochmclennan3510 No his actions towards her is exactly "whatever love means". He knew what love is and only Camilla had his heart. He should not have asked Diana to marry him and she should have broken it off when she found out he loved someone else.

Charles Spencer’s speech, as minimal as it is, was probably the only form of closure and justice that Diana has ever received since her death.

Enchant ing

it was her brother, not his

Ihr Bruder und ihre ganze Familie hatten Diana in Stich gelassen, als sie weg von dem verlogenen Charles und der verlogenen Königsfamilie wollte und zur Beerdigung stellte sich dieser falsche Bruder hin und tat so, als ob sie ihr geholfen hätten.😢😢😢

Agree 💯. She is my queen 👑

@lexistential247 Diana should be remembered for who she really was-read The Real Diana.

Yes, Charles & Camila right from the start. Camila was an interfering woman

they were and are still selfish

Agree 💯

I remember reading that Charles had to have Camilla approval to marry Diana. That it fit a certain scenario like young and stupid and easy to manipulate. That as far as Camilla was concern Diana fit the bill.

So so sad because she loved him so ….

how is a person SO HUMAN...does that mean that you are not human...

She also had multiple affairs and with married men ye great! Not!! God bless the king and his Queen Camilla 👑👑 2023.

My heart weeps for Diana. I had little idea about her true story and feelings. Nor did I understand how the media was relentless in pursuing this innocent young girl. Terrible.

The Monarchy does its history

@@bibigems really wow she knew how to manipulate the media sometime people get blinded with kindness. Yes she's missed yes she did good but behind it all she was sneaky.

Only the Good die Young.

When I heard that he snatched the flag off her coffin after everyone that is the public left the cemetery he snatched it off and told them to bury her where the regular folk’s are that she would not be buried with the royals. That is so hateful and cruddy I hope she has been haunting him but she probably didn’t cause they said she was really a Princess a good hearted person

her voice is of someone who is mentally unpredictable...cant stant her pretension...open your eyes....please.

Season 6 of the crown is a huge disappointment. Completely painting Charles like a saint which he was not.

She mumbles ... Kind of slurs words together--not very articulate which honestly is surprising as I didn't quite notice that before until listening to this non stop narration

she had medication...and the medication made her sleepy...they were to control her psychotic attacks...of killing herself...

she was slurring...she needed to go to sleep...there was no soothing...she was despereate...anxious and medicated.

. and may Dodi rest in peace, too. 🌿

@ritahorvath8207 yes and dodi too I'm sure princess Diana and dodi are in a better place where they can be together and watch over prince William and prince Harry and thier families

@@dundonrl Whatever, Camilla.

Harry called his autobiography “Spare”. It’s on audiobook too. I’m part way through. It’s so very interesting.

And look what it did to Harry.

Right. Diana called Harry the spare. Her duty was done.

No wonder Harry is so messed up and no telling how long Prince William will have to wait before becoming king. Harry probably felt he has never mattered much to old charlie !!!

Absolutely !!!!

Yep

Hate Camilla and Charles. They will never be at peace.

Camila and Charles will definitely reap what they sowed. Diana will always be above both of them!!!

Please use google and read what Wikipedia says about Raine Spencer, her stepmother. Especially what happened after the Earl died .

@@ritahorvath8207 what happened?

Why do you do that??? Why don't you just tell us the whole story???​@@ritahorvath8207

How she knew …. And the timing she predicted of 12-15 years!

I don't think it was an accident 🤷🏽‍♀️ Charles was not into Diana. So sad how she was mistreated by both of them, The King & Camilla.

No one can know for 100% certain as Queen Elizabeth II blocked any investigation. Princess Diana was in the way. They couldn't dispose of her with a public hanging or beheading as their ancestors had done. Death by car crash it was as in it was NOT an accident.

it was an accident

one of the causes of death was the failure to transport her immediately to a trauma center.They kept her in that tunnel for something like 45 minutes, bleeding out. In the USA, paramedics have a protocol called "scoop and run." Trauma patients are not treated in the field, they are "scooped" up and transported; endotracheal tubes chest tubes, and IVs are started in the ambulances as they proceed to hospital. There is no delay in transport. In some cases a helicopter goes directly to the scene or meets them at a facility to take the injured to a trauma center. I remember hearing this at the time & was horrified by the behavior of the first responders. There is no excuse for what they did. I suppose it is cost effective to let people die but I was disgusted. As a Critical Care RN I personally cared for a young woman who survived being stabbed in her aorta and I realized if she had been attacked in France, their socialized medicine system would have just let her die.

@@kimberlysmith579 I was willing to believe some of the conspiracy theories when I was younger but now not so much. One that stuck in my mind. Some have trouble believing the car's driver Henri Paul had a blood alcohol over 3 times the legal amount as he appeared sober before the crash and had a couple glasses of wine at most. A TV doc host in a lab drank enough to match the blood alcohol and tried to drive a simulator. He failed the simulator and at walking. I thought OK there's something to that theory and then I became a cop. Having dealt with my share of DWIs I'm still amazed how I get someone who may just barely failed the field sobriety end up at least double the legal limit. Given how many times the blood samples were tested I'm sure Henri Paul was drunk that night. Add the fact he was the deputy head of hotel security and not a driver I can only imagine the alcohol and the added stress of being chased by the paparazzi led to the crash. You only need a second of inattention to crash a car.

The RF tried to get her the psychological care she desperately needed. She refused. Diana was a severely disordered person.

Totally agree !!!!

yet, we are told that Diana was deeply in love with him and had photoes and posters of him stuck in her bedroom's walls...she stated that she needed to be cleaned and be ready for the top job....

At all.

Exactly, he looks like a cartoon character

Absolutely !!!!!

Yes, too bad she made it that way.

Countess Snowden ( Princess Margaret) was the 1st Royal to get involved with HIV treatment. A long time friend had a son who HIV - Margaret contacted people in her medical charities to see where would be a good 'HIV specific' clinic. There wasn't one in the UK - over the next 27 months there were fund raisings, charity fun runs etc - Lighthouse was opened by Princes Margaret in November 1987 - 12 months before Diana got involved

And we can thank her for her son Prince William. He will make an excellent king.

Why is it that not more of you speak out on behalf of her son Harry? He is beautiful, Spencer genes.

@@ZsuzsannaBudapesthe is, but the way he’s been acting for the past couple of years changed that

I do think Diana is the best thing that has happened to the Royal Family. William will be an excellent monarch. His Dad…not so much. He and Camilla deserve each other… like a bad pair of pennies!!

@witherbloom Perfectly said! She will always be loved and remembered always be the Queen if People's Heart ❤❤❤❤❤❤

🙏❤

No one is perfect

Absolutely correct

Diana's story is certainly very sad. She was such a bright light in the way she cared about people and how she made a positive difference in the world by touching the hearts of millions. In a certain way, Charles is also a victim. He was in love with Camila but the monarchy didn't approve of the union so he had to find an "appropriate" wife. It's unrealistic to expect Charles to stifle his feelings toward Camila and bow to family pressure then feel the devotion and love toward Diana that she expected. At age 19, there's no way I would have understood the dynamics between Charles and Camila. If the monarchy didn't exert control over Charles' choice of a marriage partner, Diana would not have been put in a position of having to deal with a husband who loved someone else.

I can relate to that experience. 😢

@@vonnieluxon2437 me too.

Diana never truely loved anyone except her two boys she was so damage din childhood and inherited the Spencer's mental instability she just constantly looked for father figures and would ring them 10 times aday for affirmations and when they grew frustrated at this she moved one sometimes juggling 3 lovers at once.

It’s HER version of the truth. I am sure Charles’s side of the story would be quite different. But he will never tell it, will never defend himself, never explain HIS feelings during his marriage with a mentally unstable and disturbed person, never badmouth his ex-wife the way she did him. He just has to take all the blame quietly.

@@timothygeorgefay1 Thank you for asking. I'm doing good. I'm just grateful for the blessings I have. From the beginning I felt an affinity with Diana. But in those days, the early 1980s I disliked her. And then one night I was watching TV and saw her talking to some homeless people living in a tunnel or under an overpass. She was trying to help them. And I was really surprised. My attitude changed about her after that. Diana was really loved by many people. I know a crazy old metalhead that liked her, he and his girlfriend saved all the newspapers from after Diana died. All I know is that sometimes people will surprise you in a good way for a change. LoL. If Diana needed to talk, the least we could do was listen with some empathy.
