By Charlotte Webster- The public will absolutely enjoy the channel 4 documentary being shown about Princess Diana this Sunday.One main reason is that she was truly the people's princess. The public loved and admired Diana, whose heart of gold was precious and unsurpassed.
Diana was not only the woman married to the Prince of Wales, her tale of isolation, pressure, and betryal, was well documented, and known to the public. The princess was only 19 when she was launched into public life, and admiitedly found the experience daunting.
Princess Diana told a panorama documentary in 1995 that she found the media attention daunting, and was uncomfortable with the special interest given to her by the public. Always singled out by members of the public, the princess said she always wanted to share, and did not like the idea of her husband being in the shade compared withtold a panorama documentary in 1995 the attention she got.
When asked by Martin Bashir about her expectations in marriage, she expressed a willingness to make it work and be different from her own family background. She said, ”i think like any marriage, especially when you have had divorced parents like myself, you want to try even harder to make it work, and you don’t want to fall back ito pattern you have seen happen in your own family. I desperately wanted it to work, Idesperately loved my husband, and I wanted to share everything together. I thought we were a very good team”.
ISOLATED
Princess Diana said she felt isolated and left to deal with her news status on her own . It was a situation where you couldn’t indulge in feeling sorry for yourself. You either had to sink or swim, and you had to learn that very fast”. Diana was left with the wrong impression from the beginning that the media will leave her alone to settle with hee new public role. The princess soon realised that she was too good a ferry tale to ignore. Diana’s candid story has always struck a warm chord with the public. Diana was both beautiful and expressive in a manner that made her more lovable.
Her account of the pain caused to her on realising her husband loved another woman is one most women can relate to. If not by direct experience, by indirect experience, and the strong powers of empathy most women have. She was told by reliable sources that her husband’s interests were else where. Diana’s own feminine insticts also confirmed waht she heard when Prince Charles’s behavioural pattern changed. The Uk’s most loved ever princess spoke about there being ”three of us in this marriage”, making it ”a bit overcrowded” . Diana said she was so distressed about her failing marriage. However, her duty to perform her public role was given greater importance over her private distress that she let it ride.
PLAIN
Her distress was so plain to see by those close to her that Diana permitted close friends of her to talk to Andrew Morton, who was writing a book about her life. She said she was ”desperate”, and at the end of her ”tether”. The fact Diana was in so much pain that she consented to contributing to a book about her life, may be a que that she wanted the world to know. Her soul was crying for support and suggestions that she was ready to spill the beans. This may be the reason Channel 4 have found it necessary to tell her story, on the assumption that Diana signalled an interest in having the world know what she was going through.
ADORED
A woman so beautiful, intelligent, and adored, was abandoned by the man she loved so desperately. She died after running off with an alternative man, not part of the original plan of love. Channel 4 has had a wave of criticism for their decision to broadcast a documentary this Sunday featuring secret tapes recorded by her speech coach. Princess Diana had shown a tendency to want the world to hear story in full, and Channel 4 has jumped on the opportunity. The media has been split on whether the corporation are right to feature this documentary. This publication is also somewhat split on the matter, but we must wait to see all the documentary reveals.
