[Music] loyalty is the fairytale romance of a princess coming together with living history simply thought royal life would be like something out of a romantic novel I think the idea of being queen of England also appeared enormous detail the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana was a wonderful and special day full of hope it quickly went well on paper this marriage should have been perfect but the personalities were wrong Diana was in need of love in all its forms Prince Charles couldn't let go of his mistress and the tragedy unfolded as we know it the Queen I think was very worried about the damage that it was doing to the monarchy she said okay enough new tune was now divorce it's been a car crash in Paris dodi fayed is dead and we think the princess is dead too the press played up there being new Union Jack flying at half mast on Buckingham Palace people looking at that building and looking at all the surrounding buildings where flags were at half-mast would again form the impression that this was a disrespectful act to a dead princess their first reaction was to protect their grandchildren Queens job was to look after these boys at this traumatic terrible moment in their lives and she thought and it's go down at the last moment but she completely misread the mood of the country for the Queen to have stayed in Balmoral for them to have tried to get away with the quiet funeral absolutely ridiculous all these people here today are showing the strength in the nation and she hasn't said anything at the crane these are not people who wear their emotions public that is not what they do touch away in Scotland far from all of that trying to cope with these grief-stricken boys I think she did the right thing what I say to you now as your queen and as a grandmother I say from my heart I want to pay tribute to Diana myself [Music] when she married Charles she was desperate for somebody to love her he was desperate for someone to love him the pair of them were extremely needy individuals her because of her damaged background him because of his his lack of self-esteem lack of confidence both of them lack self-esteem [Music] dan had a pretty disastrous upbringing you know her parents were constantly at loggerheads and Norma's rose she she was very sensitive girl and it affected her enormous lee diana grew up in an abusive household her mother was in an abusive marriage she gave her husband the children that he wanted she finally gave him the son he was desperate to have the son and heir and she then saw an opportunity to have a happy life herself she fell in love with somebody and she went off with him fully believing that she would take her children with her in the end of course a mother ran off with another man her father drank too much Prince Philip always disliked dispenses and because of their behavior the mother and father and this did affect Diana in the custody proceedings Frances shantia she became lost custody of all four of her children now Diana at that time was six years old all she knew was that her mother didn't love her enough to want to be with her that was incredibly damaging fruitful a young child she also worked out that actually she would hadn't been wanted anyway that her mother and father had been desperately trying to get a boy she felt totally insignificant unwanted and unloved now the effect of this was to make her desperately want to have a family of her own peace enquired a non-drinking husband she wanted to be a faithful wife she wanted to have wonderful children she was a typical product of divorced parents getting exactly what she wanted never sticking at anything because no one made her stick it out social services in you know - it seems appeal to me did you talk to into wanting to do it she gave up her first job she she gave up ballet school she didn't stick up things Prince Charles now joins you in having a look at his baby sister but perhaps he prefers his toys Charles grew up very much in or with his parents I would say his mother was was pretty absent during his childhood so Charles grew up really bonding much more closely with his grandmother the Queen Mother than ever with his mother it was really the Queen Mum who stepped into her shoes Prince Charles was a sensitive little boy and suddenly no mummy had virtually disappeared off the scene and so I think the Queen Mum provided the sort of emotional stability and security certainly in the early years she was a devoted mother but it wasn't able to debate that much time to them and of course her in personalities it was a is a kind of reserved one people have described it as being sort of slightly his mother was on a pedestal it was not a close relationship at when the Queen came back from that long tour and got off the train at Paddington Station and her son was been dying to see her came up to her she didn't kiss him or put her arms around him she shook his hand and what does that say that says where's my mummy he was not a happy child he had been sent away to school in Scotland which he hated he was lonely he was he was bullied there he he had a miserable time miles away from from everything that was familiar to him so Charles grew up a very insecure sort of boy who turned into an insecure man Prince Philip knew Charles had suffered because the Queen put the nation first and Philip did everything he could to compensate for that even bringing in his uncle Lord Mountbatten Lord Mountbatten who was the Queen's uncle took him under his wing and started to give him some some confidence and to make him feel valued and then of course my bathroom was blown up and that came as a terrible blow to Charles it was really lost Charles was needy he was somebody who who just didn't have lots of self-confidence and the royal family are very interesting because they never congratulate one another they don't pat one another on fact all they're very lonely characters they've got they're surrounded by their household of secretaries private you know private secretaries they've got their valets and their buckler's and footmen and they're all of that but none of those people were really in a position to act as a friend we definitely got a class distinction within households of the royal family at the very top you could call it the aristocracy if you like of the royal household that is the members then you've got a sort of a middle-class area which may well be described or is the officials and then of course you've got the downstairs area the working-class if you like which is called the staff a three classes are completely separate they do not socialize in any way they don't eat together the lower orders have to address the upper ones as sir or madam the whole thing is very very class-based very much like it was in Victorian times [Music] dianna seemed wonderfully sympathetic and and said she understood how he must have felt and she touched his heart it was during a weekend house party that Prince Charles and Lady Diana took notice of each other for the first time 1977 the childcare stay is friend of my sister Sarah shoot Clara field I remember thinking what a very jolly and amusing and attractive sixteen year old she was and I mean great fun and and seeing full of life and everything and there was always a great fascination I suppose inevitably in Prince Charles's girlfriends because everybody knew she would be Princess of Wales and one day would be Queen if he chose to marry one of these young ladies he was the world's most eligible bachelor a magnet for admiring and aspiring young women one day mentioned more than most was Princess Astrid of Luxembourg even though she was a Catholic then a new name emerged lady died the name she would be known by throughout the world by now shared a flat in Kensington with three girlfriends news of her romance came as a shock to them she had said she was going out with Charles Renfrew Baron Renfrew is one of Prince Charles's titles they remember her as a good flatmate very generous a very good friend did she watch TV a lot where did you have any favourite programme she was spotted by James Whittaker the Royal reporter for the for the Daily Mirror and went back to London and they took some photographs off and they finally worked out who it was that it was Diana Spencer Lady Diana Spencer she now faced possibly the most daunting initiation test for would-be members of the royal family ordeal by the media a flat came under siege she was followed wherever she went diana was not the shy girl at school that a lot of people suspect she was she was a lively person she was a party girl she lived in color and cannot quote as we know which was a was a great party scene in it was caught she was a lot of fun she had a great sense of humor very popular she was a proper Sloane her house her flat in London became absolutely besieged by by the press by photographers they they followed her everywhere she went I will your coping with all the press attention you can see you can tell you bearing up with it well it must be quite a strain with all of us that was effectively that the end of of Charles and Diana being able to explore their relationship get to know one another the interesting thing about Diana Spencer who became Princess darling was that she rather came out of nowhere so what no one really spotted her although she had some royal connections in her family she wasn't the usual type of girlfriend that I remember Prince Charles accompanying to places a lot of his girlfriends had a past and we the press knew that that Prince Joss had to find at that time definitely find someone who had no past and then Lady Diana Spencer appeared and you know it was it was a gift to all of us when Daddy Diana Spencer appeared on the scene it did begin to look as though she was likely to be the one because after all her father Lord Spencer had been the Queen's aquaria during the famous 1954 Commonwealth tour both her grandmother's and four of her great arms were ladies-in-waiting to the Queen Mother and the ancestry of the Spencer's was of course goes back into mists of time but it's very closely associated with the royal family over a number of years and so she seemed in a sense to be ideal they lived on a house on the sand during mistake she used to go and watch films I think she said chitty-chitty bang-bang she must have seen about 10 times with Prince Andrew and the Queen said she's one of us both the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were delighted I think at the prospect of Diana marrying Prince Charles when it happened she was a beautiful charming delightful innocent young girl and they had high hopes of the relationship geographically she came basically from you know a shoot at Sandringham or the kale fields of Sandringham or or the like so that seemed to be you know full of full of full of good hope basically Prince Charles's parents were relieved that he'd decided to marry someone he had quite a long period of bachelorhood where he couldn't seem to settle down and it was actually attracting the wrong kind of headlines was he a playboy Prince was he not able to make decisions was he not able to commit and suddenly this beautiful young girl came into his life and it really improved his PR enormous Lee because not only had he managed to settle down but was such a gorgeous and glamorous figure [Music] that marriage came about in a strange way it came about through granny para his grandmother the Queen Mother and her grandmother lady furthermore got together and they agreed that whoever Charles married would have to be a virgin and lady for my assured the Queen Mother that Diana was a virgin so the Queen Mother said then that's the one problem for Diana Spencer and what she really fell victim to was a was a time warp we all liked the idea of the royal family being like everybody else but if they get to like everybody else then what's special about them by the 1970s when Diana Spencer appeared on the scene most people couldn't care less whether the bride walking up the aisle was a virgin or not in ordinary life but when it came to the royal family we still expected this old-fashioned view and it's the basis for only the tragedy that became her life and Prince Charles's life and an enormous challenge to the monarchy and to the reputation of elizabeth ii in february 1981 the waiting was over Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Charles and Lady Diana were engaged the ring was a sapphire surrounded by diamonds the couple looked happy and relaxed delighted like everyone else at a wedding would take place all Spencer and Lady Diana stepmother celebrated among the crowds outside the palace gates inside Lady Diana was facing up to a future she could hardly dreamt of yesterday you were a nanny looking after children now you're about to marry the Prince of Wales and one day we would all they no likelihood be queen it's a tremendous change someone may say of nineteen to make all the transition a small run-up to the last six months and next up it's Charles and I can't go wrong and I suppose in that I thought the engagement interview was was terribly sad it must have heard her enormous Lee when he said that because what would our wives absurdly if we'd said on the day of our engagement publicly that whatever love is he was sending a message to Camilla but poor Camilla's problem was sort of catch-22 and when she met Prince Charles she fell in love they went to bed together but that sort of automatically ruled her out as a future Queen the world didn't really know about mrs. Parker bells at that point and the thought that there was another woman in the background who was to some extent siding when this marriage was going to take place and that it was all right for him to proceed with this marriage and did give one some you know additional fears on her behalf it was an arranged marriage potentates of course were Camilla and kanga tryin and a proposal which they set out they stage-managed took place in the cabbage garden of Camilla's country house I believe they were never in love Diana was infatuated with in the beginning I think the idea of being queen of England also appealed enormously to and it suited his purposes he knew that he could carry on as before if he wanted to and I think that that problems emerged as soon as the engagement was enhanced [Music] [Music] everybody loved Diana when they first encountered her when she went up to Balmoral that first time the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were there many members of the family were there plus friends and they all thought done I was absolutely magic I mean she she was funny she was deliciously unsophisticated and and easy she didn't wear smart clothes she fitted in brilliantly with the family she mocked him with the picnics she went fishing with Charles she walked on the moors she she did everything that they did and they she made them all laugh it was always a vulnerability about her which was very attractive and the the needed slight need that one fit felt that she needed to be protected a bit Charles was older he could have looked after her he could have taught her everything Donna she could have adapted to the life had she been a stronger and a different personality the months between the engagement and the wedding were hectic often exhilarating sometimes trying [Music] she had to learn the restrictions of royal life never again would she be able to walk quietly down to the shops one of the many many problems that that Diana had was I don't think anyone actually explained to her the enormity of what she was doing and you'd think her father would have done because he was one person that did learn it even if somebody did try to explain it to her she could never have understood it never have taken it in remember you know she was very young she was not very well educated she lived in a kind of romantic world she read Barbara Cartland romantic novels she simply thought life royal life would be would be like something out of a romantic novel she would marry the prince she loved she would be secure and safe and I don't think she really understood what it would involve Prince Charles had to keep the engagements he'd accepted before the announcement of the engagement and this meant some separation [Music] Diana had to accept this and do her best to hide her feelings suddenly as far as Charles was concerned she changed before his very eyes this lovely happy-go-lucky easy laughing giggling funny girl who made everybody else laugh suddenly became angry jealous uncooperative she had terrible mood swings she she manifested a side to herself that that nobody had seen before but bear in mind that that you know Charles and Diana had seen each other tragically a few times before they became engaged they did not know one another but what he did know had suddenly vanished and here was somebody completely different and he thought oh god it's my fault my kind of life is just she can't stand the thought of it a bit so we're going to be too horrible for her he didn't know what to do his diary was filled six months in advance he he couldn't drop everything and tend to Diana the Queen actually tried to [Music] bring Diana under her wing but Diana was very reluctant she thought you know she didn't want to have supper with the Queen that was too boring and so she'd find excuses and so they never really formed a very close relationship at a time when it might have really helped Diana to do so July the 29th 1981 wedding day had arrived at last in a few hours and false cathedral would become the center of the world as dawn came up over London preparations for the parade were well advanced horses were made to get up early outside Buckingham Palace and all the way to support pavements were jammed with well-wishers [Music] by the time they'd become engaged it was almost too late for either of them to do anything about it Charles didn't have the courage to call it off and Diana at the very last minute she wanted to wanted to pull out of it but it was too late Lady Diana's mother mrs. SH and kid had flown in from her home in Australia it was her big day too [Applause] she looked like a princess from a fairy tale radiantly happy accompanied by a proud father the egg though the rest of the royal family waited patiently for the bride now it was time for the bridegroom to get into position with a wink for favored friends outside the glass coach arrived the bride stepped down and let the world see and admire her dress ivory silk embellished with old lace and mother-of-pearl sequins it had a train 25 feet long she was still lady died but only just she was about to become the first English girl in 500 years to marry a prince of wales the eyes of the world were on her and she knew it I'm there too I give the my trail she was no longer a children's helper she was the Princess of Wales marriage to the heir to the throne another chapter in the thousand year history of the British royal family had been written at the beginning of the wedding the time of the wedding at the beginning of the marriage they had high hopes if you look at the pictures of the Queen at the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana you can see there she is a happy mother and mother-in-law helping the bridesmaids sort out their dresses it's a wonderful and special day full of hope [Music] Gibraltar was the starting point for the honeymoon they made a brief public appearance there before disappearing from sight for two weeks it gave the people of the rock a chance to express their loyalty and Diana a chance to adjust to being Princess of Wales the Royal Yacht Britannia was waiting at the key side also waiting was an army of reporters photographers and television crews the main problem was making sure they didn't find out where the honeymooners were going it was solved they made a leisurely cruise along the Mediterranean and were not unduly disturbed [Music] she was very very good at those royal duties and of course they were for time really completely a dream team they could have gone anywhere and done anything everybody wants to see them [Music] the royal couple appeared to all the world a perfect match they seemed totally at ease together in public and the prince was never slow to sing his wife's praises at that time everybody was saying good luck and I hope everything goes well and how lucky you are to be engaged with such a lovely lady and my goodness I was lucky enough to marry and we had many effects it quickly the first inclination that I got that the marriage had gone wrong was a palace maid name was Michelle Royals went to their room at Balmoral one morning to clean it up and every single thing in it had been smashed it was wrecked and Charles had slept on the floor in his dressing room I mean it was from that moment on it was obvious that I mean old couples have rouse but this one never ended well before the actual breakup of the marriage things were beginning to be said I can remember a very senior royal adviser talking to me about it a bit and it wasn't until one particular writer and the princess got together and she decided that she wanted her story out there that the whole thing exploded and even when it came out in in in book form and in the newspapers then a lot of people refused to believe it for an awful long time diana is an immensely popular figure for him to have treated her as badly as most people believe he did because to chip away at all the reasons why Charles is popular speeches about the rain forests pale into complete in significance as indeed does community architecture alongside two-timing the most popular woman in the land I've come to the conclusion that really it would have been far easier to have had two wives [Laughter] to have covered both sides of the street and I could have walked down the middle directing the operation the real complication was I suppose that that he was really I mean subconsciously still attached in some way to mr. Parker Burl's and that was difficult and when she and she minded about that if she hadn't minded about that it would perhaps have all have just come down and sort of settled into a sort of routine it is very curious that in the country where our media is often considered very intrusive particularly some newspapers that nobody seemed to cotton on to the fact that the royal marriage was in such trouble I don't think any of us knew I really feel that we were you know that there was this facade that they were putting up it really foxed us all and there was no reason for us to know that Diana was so unhappy I think as far as the relationship was concerned it's amazing really when you consider the press scrutiny but the one thing the press didn't find out about was Camilla parker-bowles of course Diana knew but at the time that was all going on behind anyone's back nobody in the press knew that Camilla parker-bowles was on the scene as she was when the marriage had irretrievably broken down he's friends who recognized that he was absolutely in the depths of despair reintroduced him to Camilla parker-bowles Camilla was always very open about love life she had a predecessor a grandmother or something like that mrs. Keppel who'd been a mistress of a previous Prince of Wales and so it is said and it's quite she's never denied it that when they first met she actually said to Prince Charles you know well my grandmother slept with your grandfather how about it when he was interviewed by Jonathan Dimbleby he and asked whether he'd committed adultery he again told the truth and said yes but only when the marriage had irretrievably broken down that was the truth and for some strange reason the great British public chooses not to believe him but to believe Diana's version of the story of their marriage which was that there were three of them in the marriage that Camilla was always there that there was no chance of it ever working she needed love in all its forms she was an attractive glamorous woman in their prime and her needs were being met at home we know that she had lots of lovers he had just one she talked about there being three in the marriage she didn't mention the others but all was not as it seemed it since been revealed that the princess was suffering from an eating disorder bulimia nervosa a complaint caused by stress the public glimpse that something was wrong when she fainted during a visit to an exhibition in Canada the Prince made light of her predicament it's really entirely due to the extremely advantageous conditions that pertain in British Columbia the weather and the general fertile conditions which have ensured that she's about to have 60 plates which is really where she fainted it's not actually true that Diana had many of the characteristics things that go with eating disorders I mean she displayed them I do know that it began when she was on honeymoon she was eating and then and then making herself ammad the psychiatrist who saw was treating her for anorexia but later bulimia was what she she mostly did it's an addiction like any other addiction and the royal family didn't know how to handle that they'd encountered all kinds of problems in the past eating disorders whether it be anorexia or bulimia show how an individual can turn the nourishment of the body into a painful attack on themselves [Music] the couple had spent a month apart when they reunited to visit Welsh flood victims but after a few hours together Prince Charles went straight back to Scotland the rumors about their marriage were now presented as fact when the marriage really started to break down diana used to go and see the Queen now nobody sees the Queen without an appointment but Diana used to wait in the pages vestibule until the Queen's last visitor if you like had left and then she - in before the next one and she just cry and say everybody hates me I hate my mother I hate my sister I hate my husband and the Queen not used to this kind of moral confrontation just didn't know how to handle Diana it really threw her and as a result she sat on the fence with Diana and although she didn't particularly get on well with Diana they were not the same sort of woman it would be a great mistake to think that she blamed Diana for what went wrong if anything I believe that she and her husband Prince Philip put more of the blame on Prince Charles Duke of Edinburgh had a very difficult relationship with Charles and the real problem behind that the Charles and Diana marriage was that Charles misunderstood his father they didn't speak to one another as normal father and son might he was always felt that he had difficulties with his parents and had turned to his grandmother in Lord Mountbatten and indeed to his nanny Mable Anderson force at a particular support what I think is interesting and still perhaps isn't well enough understood is how the Queen and Prince Philip both tried their level best to help they were very supportive you know Diana could be a nightmare at times but they had been very fond of her and I think or everybody wanted the marriage to work [Music] Prince Philip made a very concerted effort to commune with her the letters that Prince Philip wrote to Diana you would expect them to be hectoring letters letters telling her off such of those letters has been published shows immense sympathy and wish to help and wish to give support and Diana herself said that she was very moved by them the Queen and Prince Philip arranged meetings between Charles and Diana to try and be a kind of royal relate in a marriage counseling service they tried to provide that but to no avail when the marriage clearly was ready to collapse they felt well okay it is collapsing now better have done with it I wish to inform the house that Buckingham Palace at this moment issuing the following statement it reads as follows it is announced from Buckingham Palace that with regret The Prince and Princess of Wales have decided to separate their royal highnesses had no plans to divorce and their constitutional positions are unaffected this decision has been reached to nicob Lee and they will both to continue to participate fully in the upbringing of their children William and Harry grew up in this in this very tricky household they absolutely adored their mother their mother absolutely adored them and so did their father the one thing that Diana be praised for forevermore was giving those children real love and security in their early days the people who loved her with the staff she would often take William and Harry down a little kitchen to have their tea and they wanted fish fingers and things like that but if they had it upstairs she would bring both boys down to the kitchen afterwards to say thank you she was amazing in that way but she didn't mask from them her feelings and if she was unhappy she let them know about it and she would say to friends who said you know is it right that you should be crying in front of of your small boy and she'd say well he's got to learn someday what was so sad for these boy is is that because the media took such a huge interest in Diana's private life and she didn't hide it from the media there were constant stories in the newspapers about about will Carling or about all of a [ __ ] or whoever it was James hurt all these stories were appearing in the newspapers when these boys were at school it must have been really really hard for them because little boy is a horrible tease one another and I I feel that the real problem was but she had never been properly mothered herself and I and therefore I think she didn't quite appreciate how to do it because I don't think that most mothers would allow their children to meet the lovers with such such openness I don't think a good mother really would have spoken on national television as Diana did in that panorama interview she was at war with her husband she wanted she wanted him to suffer and somehow I don't think she managed to put herself into the position of of how her sons would feel if she behaved in this in this way how they would feel if she paraded her lover's in front of them if she ran their father down on television I don't think she could put herself into their minds she spoke to his house master and said that that she was going to be on television his house master said he must go and explain to William what what she'd done you know what and she went down there she saw him for five minutes and and left she was very pleased with what she'd done at the time she thought it was a great performance and she was thrilled and she rang up her friends and said he was what she was watch afterwards I think she regretted it bitterly because it was just about as bad as it can be for a fourteen-year-old boy after the panorama interview that is absolutely Wyatt Wien called time when she said okay enough new to must was now Harlem divorce whatever uncertainties the last few weeks may have brought I want you to be certain of this our work together will continue unchanged especially now as Christmas brings its own painful stresses I mean now of course we will it's very easy for us all to say it was inevitable that it was all going to collapse it wasn't at all at the time in fact it was just as shocking that it collapsed is that ever d8 should have abdicated and it didn't seem possible that's Princeton Princess of Wales could part the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh their attitude to it was entirely that I think of of any other concerned parent and distressed of course Lee was happening in the middle of the limelight but you must bear in mind they are not as conscious of themselves being in the middle of the limelight as you are and to some extent I think I do personally blame the media a lot for the continual hounding of them and then of course unfortunately they both on both sides began to sort of sup with the devil feed the media in one way or another and the rest you know basically it was was a disaster for them it was a family drama I Princeton of ammaji once and he said to me simply we're a family we are a family these things happen in families and they cope with it as a family would and their reaction to it was that of parents of their particular generation now better have done with it lets you know cleanly cut this thing and free Diana and start again it was a friendship and holidays with Dodi fired but ensure that the last few weeks of her life were lived as they'd always been never far from the spotlight when it comes to a question of what the Queen thought of Diana's behavior after the marriage broke up and her succession of boyfriends and particularly Dodi fired and all that sort of thing that's another issue Queen just simply didn't really understand Diana and she didn't understand an urban girl who hated the country she didn't understand the princess's approach to what princess saw was her job which was famously to be Queen of Hearts to empathize with people to go out to be popular in a personal sense one of the things that disturbed distress to the Queen and Prince Philip about Diana Princess of Wales and about Sarah Ferguson who married the young Duke of York was that the attention they got they may have thought that it was for them as individuals the crucial thing about anyone joining the royal family is understanding what the adulation is when the Queen first became Queen went on tours in the early 1950s millions millions of people came out in the streets and cheered and if the Queen had taken that attention for herself it would have been corrosive celebrity normally is earned in some way by doing something remarkable being a very good writer or a very good artist or a very good actor normally you don't get celebrity just because of who the you were born into the Queen knew the attention the adulation was not for her it was for the position of being Queen Diana came into the family and became hugely famous and a superstar that was enough of Queen you don't do that you just stand there and be yourself right but you don't reach out to people Prince Philip was married to a woman who put the country first and he had a daughter-in-law who probably had two daughters you know who put themselves first and and he couldn't tolerate that she suddenly overnight became such a superstar and loved it and feasted on it she hurt herself emotionally on the adoration of strangers and this caused a huge problem with Charles because rather than being a support to him she out shown him and he felt that he had really important things to say messages to to deliver in speeches and he would have Diana by his side and the press ignored his speeches and they talked about Diana's hairstyle or her clothes and could she perhaps be pregnant again and that repeated itself and she stole his thunder so that caused problems I was asleep in bed and the phone rang and one of my bosses said Nick has been a car crash in Paris Dodi Fayed is dead and we think the princess is dead too so I obviously got up dressed went straight to the studio in the middle of the night and then was really on television I have to say for the next week really at first ambulance crews managed to keep the princess alive but her heart had stopped beating by the time she was admitted to hospital the surgeons fought for two hours to restart her heart at 3 o'clock this morning London time they admitted defeat and announced that Diana Princess of Wales was dead we have a flash here from the Press Association news wire saying that Donna Princess of Wales has died in a car crash in Paris it was all to do with two people Dodi Fayed and Diana's bodyguard the car was being chased by paparazzi the chauffeur had had certain amount too much to drink he probably could have driven home perfectly well if he hadn't been being chased by paparazzi this is what's left of the Mercedes in which the Princess of Wales and her companion Dodi al-fayed were being driven back to his house witnesses say the car was being pursued by photographers on motorbikes whatever the cause it's clear that when he entered this tunnel alongside the river sent the driver lost control crashing into a pillar on one side then with full force into a wall on the other it's been speculated on the Diana would be alive today if journalist has not been pursuing them it had nothing to do with the journalists pursuing they could have been travelling at 10 miles now and the journalist would have followed the ten miles now it was a state of chaos and when there is chaos accidents happen and that's fundamentally what it was you'd hardly recognize this as a car the engine rammed up into the rear passenger area miraculously Diana's bodyguard sitting in the front survived this dirty fire had pulled a drunken driver out of the bar of the Ritz Hotel and put him in charge of the broken car he then split the three-car convoy which there's always supposed to be three cars one in front one behind and the one contained the rows in the middle doli splitted up sent the other two on a decoy mission so they were on their own the policeman allowed this to happen he should never belad it he strapped himself in he put his seatbelt on he didn't tell her to dawn had not yet broken over Buckingham Palace as people began to arrive to pay their respects young people grieving for a princess they regard it as their own she was young herself she was fresh she was and I think she showed that the royal family wasn't something that's still stuck in the 18th century the people everywhere not just here in Britain everywhere they kept faith with Princess Diana they liked her they loved her they regarded her as one of the people she was the people's princess and that's how she will stay how she will remain in our hearts and in our memories forever [Music] so on the Sunday you had the shock the next day it was discovered it turned on the paparazzi or perhaps even on the same day that had pursued the car then after that it was discovered that the chauffeur had more alcohol in his blood that he should have done so he was the next one to be blamed and then once they'd finished with that they turned on the Queen and the press played it up like anything they played up the fake thing of the flag there being no Union Jack flying at half mast on Buckingham Palace I tried to tell ITN time and time again why don't you film Windsor Castle which has its flag at half-mast surely that makes a certain point didn't quite fit what they were interested in they wanted the stark flag though the monarch who did not care and so forth we didn't whip up hysteria and I always get a bit cross when people accuse us of that the British people felt very deeply most of them about Diana I know it's tradition that their flag flies at Buckingham Palace when only the royalty are there but I really would have liked to see the flag flying half-mast there as well you almost felt that if you walked past Kensington Palace or Buckingham Palace without a bunch of flowers in your hand you might be lynched I mean all these people here today are showing the strength of the nation and she hasn't said anything at the crane they felt her loss personally and we were very aware that we shouldn't inflame people we shouldn't say the Queen's being terrible she hasn't come down to London to meet the crowds we try to be very careful about what we were doing but the story just swept along no one have could have imagined what would have happened to Diana and what would happen in the days that followed but with Diana's death the Queen did what she's always done remember she likes continuity and she did what her father would have done and what her grandfather would have done so they button down the hatches stay at Balmoral on the outward act as if nothing so terrible has happened the fact that she was one of the most famous women in the world that she was the mother of the future King and the former wife of her son really cut no ice with the Queen these are not people who wear their emotions publicly that is not what they do the idea of the British stiff upper-lip comes from people like the Queen her father her grandfather actually that's what it's about you don't show your emotions in public you protect your own and that's what they attempted to do touch away in Scotland dealing with the grief and the shock and trying to cope with these grief-stricken boys the Queen and Prince Philip have always been very close to their grandchildren particularly William and Harry I think after the divorce and it was very much their opinion as Grandparents that they should keep the boys back try and keep their mind off what was happening back in London while Charles went and recovered Diana's body and had to deal with the public administration of things if you like I think she did the right thing but she completely misread the mood of the country because you've been the ivory tower of Balmoral you don't know what's going down in London the most cold people on this earth the Queen was much criticized for staying in Balmoral but I actually think that what she was doing there was was putting the boys family before before anything else and I don't think that she appreciated quite what was going on in London [Music] [Applause] [Music] well the Queen when she came back to backing Palace from Scotland I think she was actually extremely nervous because she could feel the hostility of the truck so she did a walkabout and actually she heard him say at that time you've come you know they can hear an awful lot of things that the crowds say and then I think a woman actually gave her a bunch of flour and said ooh would you like me to place it for you and women said no ma'am it's for you and that sort of broke the ice it was that moment and I think suddenly people saw her instead of feeling all prickly and angry they sunnies what my goodness this is this is the grandmother and she's got to deal with all this I suppose it was a sort of natural feeling of sympathy in many ways for the Queen plus the fact I remember this terribly well the Queen went on television live from Buckingham Palace to address the nation in the middle of all of that and it was a very masterful speech I say to you now as your Queen and as a grandmother I say from my heart first I want to pay tribute to Diana myself it did just the right thing it said just the right thing she used the famous words as your queen and a grandmother that was very important thing to say to remind people that she isn't just some remote figure but she has a family children grandchildren and all the sorrows and pleasures that that brings to everybody one of the most moving moments when the royal family were gathered in Buckingham Palace and they were discussing the details of what was going to happen next day and in particular who was going to walk behind the coffin Prince Harry had no doubt that yes he would do it William was not so sure he'd had very complex feelings in the last weeks about his mother's relationship with Dodi Fayed that he didn't like William and Harry went to stay with the fired's in the South of France before Diana was photographed cavorting with with Dodi and I think that the boys found that quite uncomfortable Harrods had sent all sorts of presents after he'd stayed on the fires yacht he'd had them all returned they went back to to England and through up to Scotland and joined their father and they started the family holiday that was when Diana then went back and had a second spell in the Mediterranean on the yacht with with Dodi and that was where most of the photographs were taken he felt embarrassed by seeing his mother in a bikini on the newspapers he was troubled and he wasn't sure if he wanted to walk and parade and perform for the people and at that moment Prince Philip said well if I walk when you want to Prince Philip said to him I think when you're older you would regret it if you didn't walk in your mother's procession and I will walk with you and that's an immensely supportive grandfather and it made the difference and it was more than the difference because the sight of those different generations of men from Prince Philip all reading his 70s to little Harry it was one of the most moving sights of that day and I think you know people who were who saw that will carry that image throughout their lives [Music] I think Donna grew up and matured and in the early days life was a bit frivolous and and she didn't want to be seen as anything terribly cerebral and she would always say you know me and the Snickers two blanks but I think she she grew and she developed she had the the gifts which make for a successful princess she was very glamorous but more so perhaps more importantly she had a natural affinity with the sick and the young and the old and those who needed care and it's something which can't be faked and she had that in full measures in a question about that at all you know I think she took on serious issues like land mines and and AIDS and all those things HIV does not make people dangerous to know so you can shake their hands and give them a hug heaven knows they need it she cared enormously I mean I do think she had huge compassion she did inspire I think in many people a feeling of of concern and sympathy and that's what I was feeling for her I mean she did have huge empathy with with strangers she had she really was good at that you know people she met who was suffering from cancer who were who had terrible accidents who she was very very good with those people she had the common touch and I think that is why people loved it I mean she became the most popular woman on earth as we know she was a brilliant communicator she really connected with people again mostly were strangers but she did communicate with them and engage with them and and I think that's why people loved her so much [Music]
