Princess Diana's story unfolds from the moment a 19-year-old Diana Spencer is first chased by photographers, through her engagement to Prince Charles, the globally broadcast wedding, and her transformation into a national figure who draws as much criticism as adoration. Archival news footage and clips from decades of royal commentary trace how the press covered her at every stage, building what the film frames as a collage of scrutiny from editors, royal watchers, and a public that could not get enough. The film's real interest is in the machinery of that coverage: how newspapers shaped her image, how she pushed back and sometimes used the press herself, and how the same relentless attention followed her to the end. It treats her death as the culmination of a media relationship rather than an isolated tragedy, using period footage and commentary from journalists and royal observers to make the case. The result is less a biography than an inquest into fame itself.
