New Princess Diana Documentary To Feature Hours Of Unheard Recordings
A new television series about Princess Diana is being planned.
It will have three parts.
The series will include five hours of recordings of Diana speaking about her life.
Dr James Colthurst made the recordings in 1991.
Diana talked about love and the British Royal Family.
She also discussed Charles, Camilla and Andrew.
Most people have never heard these recordings before.
The tapes were used for a 1992 biography about Diana.
Cineflix plans to show the series to television buyers at MIPCOM in Cannes.
Cineflix has reportedly acquired rights to the three-part docuseries Diana Unheard from Love Monday TV.
The documentary will include five hours of secret audio recordings made by Dr James Colthurst in 1991.
The recordings feature Diana discussing her life, love, the Royal Family, Charles, Camilla and Andrew.
Most of the audio was never publicly heard, although the tapes helped inform Andrew Morton’s 1992 biography.
Cineflix Rights plans to present the series to international buyers at MIPCOM in Cannes.
