In the final episode of this series of Secrets of The Royals, we talk about one of the most significant tragedies in modern royal history: the death of Diana. We recount the events leading up to her fatal car crash in Paris, the immediate aftermath, and the overwhelming grief that swept the nation - and the world. Plus, Maria shares what is was like to be in London at the royal’s funeral in 1997 - and how the late Queen reacted to the criticism of her family’s response.
We also examine Diana’s lasting impact on the royal family, her humanitarian efforts, and her strong connection with people worldwide. We review the changes her sudden death brought to the monarchy and her enduring legacy as a beloved figure and feminist icon.
