Overview
- Producers Love Monday, working with biographer Andrew Morton and confidant James Colthurst, announced a series built on about five hours of Diana’s private audio.
- The recordings were made in 1991 during secret sessions for Morton’s book, and the team says less than an hour has ever been heard in public, with the full audio preserving tone and emotion that transcripts miss.
- Reporting says the tapes capture her views on Charles, Camilla, William, Harry, Fergie, and Andrew, and they complicate the long-held image of Diana as only a victim.
- The series will add new interviews with people close to her, including advisers, friends, her hairdresser, her bodyguard, and former royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter.
- The release is planned for 2027, which marks 30 years since her death, and the material could spur fresh debate about the royal family and how Diana’s life is remembered.
