In Their Own Words “Princess Diana”

Premiering Monday, Aug. 9 at 9 p.m.

See how Diana defied expectations and evolved into one of the most impactful icons of our time. Look back on her life through a contemporary lens that credits her choices, suffering and triumphs as the ultimate disrupter for a generation of women across the globe.

Through interviews with many who knew her personally, a picture of Diana emerges that reveals what drove her to challenge the restrictions of her personal life — marriage to a man who loved another woman and a royal family that attempted to mold her in its image. When her marriage dissolved, Diana could have stepped off the world stage to create a quiet, private life. Instead, driven by a need to help others, she chose to use her celebrity to change lives. See Diana through interviews with John Travolta, biographer Andrew Morton, several close friends and more.
