, with the camera trained right on her face, so she could say what she wanted. >> she saw an opportunity to go after charles. what a shot to take for diana. >> i would think the top job as i call it, was to bring enormous limitations to him. i don't know if he could adapt to that. >> that was the dagger in the heart for the palace, how dare she question the prince of wales, his right and ability to be the next king. >> she had no choice, no one was listening to her at the palace so she decided to turn to the public . >> i think she's come across very well, telling people what sort of pressure she's been under . >> charles had his say so it's about time she had hers . >> 92% of people said they supported diana's decision to do the interview, and that was a victory for diana.

backup, the palace machinery. the one saving grace, was of course, william and harry. but when they were not around, she was quite alone. >> she would go back to the palace and there would be nobody there to welcome her home, to say, well done, or let me pour you a drink. >> she had lost her sense of trust and security. she began to streamline the people around her. she said no to 24 hours support and protection. >> the only place she felt secure was inside her apartment at kensington palace. which, in many ways, was

ironic, really. because she also found it suffocating. >> we would talk about three times a week, and if it was something that could come up it would be 2 to 3 days, nine hours. >> there's no doubt that diana had all sorts of feelings of insecurity, and she always spoke to me about her feelings of emptiness inside. >> she turned to america and why shouldn't she and why wouldn't she, because in america, diana was adored. >> diana is flying into town and chicagoans could hardly contain their excitement. >> she went to luncheons, to raise money for breast cancer

research, she did tours of the city. it was like the earliest days of di-mania . >> you've never seen anything like this, her power is phenomenal, there are so many people who will pay top dollar to sit in the same room. >> if you or anyone who's anyone, you are clutching tickets to the royal fundraising events, even those in the $50,000 benefits package have all been snagged that . >> ladies and gentlemen would you please stand for the princess of wales. >> diana really loved america, she loved the people, she loved all the personalities she came into contact with at all the events. >> she was being inundated with

offers from big, american corporations to be the face of this and the face of that, a perfume contract was waived under her nose, she would have nothing to do with it. she was quite clear she wasn't going to fall into a trap where she could be some sort of rich man's commercial property. >> she wanted to prove herself as a human being, for who she was, as opposed to what she represented. breakfast at the white house, this highest level engagement made the prestige of her latest visit a huge boost. >> she goes to the white house, she had been there before but this was her first trip as an independent woman. >> i want to welcome all of you and particularly our guest of honor, diana, princess of wales. this is one of the nicest british invasion that the white house has ever had. >> to see diana and hillary in this frame together, for diana, that must have felt very empowering, because the biggest

fear was that she would be rejected by everyone and she was no longer married to charles. >> hillary then had a private meeting with her afterwards, and they did really hit it off. diana singled out hillary's strength, as the things she admired, because, strength, is what diana wanted to have. >> there definitely would have been a little bit of, look at my power, look at my stardom, everybody in the royal family, and i don't need you any. >> she was on the level of jackie oh, if you too, grace kelly, but she was all of them if i may say so, rolled into one.

>> diana wasn't just going to do the frilly stuff, she was going to take on campaigns that were important. she said look, when i go anywhere i can take 70 photographers, 100 journalists with me, and she was going to use that.

scheduled flight for the newest red cross volunteer. >> diana broke out through her involvement in the anti- landmines campaign in angola, taking on board unfashionable issues, issues that the royal family stayed away from, because it was controversial. >> it is my sincere hope that we shall focus world attention on this vital but until now, largely neglected issue. >> in the first meeting with diana, it was clear that the message was heartfelt from data how serious the position was.

>> i've never seen seems like it before. i've never been in this environment. >> i suddenly felt my gosh, after all these years, washing royal dirty laundry in public, now we have a real story to tell. >> how long has she been waiting for prosthesis? >> she's been waiting for about three years. >> i think there was a genuine sense of empathy there. and i think she did have a particular connection with people who struggled. the queen, prince charles, is that greater sense of the barrier. >> landmines was controversial, she understood it was a political issue.

so she wasn't afraid of those. >> diana is now willing to take risks, and she was in a much more liberal position than the british government was. >> at 7:00 on wednesday, the decision by a diana, princess of wales to support a campaign against landmines is reported to have angered ministers. >> it was a junior cabinet minister who said he did not feel that diana should be on a campaign like this, and she was siding with the party. which is a complete no being party political for a member even in a strange member of the political party. i stopped in front of diana. >> they said you are a loose cannon by supporting this campaign, do you have any reaction to that? >> i'm trying to highlight a

problem going on all around the world, that's all . >> it's been said that you are aligning yourself with later policy? >> i don't know what you are talking about. >> we need to move on. >> i'm really about to burst into tears now. who said i'm a loose cannon? >> that really upset diana because she was doing a really good job out there, she insisted she had not been worried about the debate back home that resulted from her comments. >> it's merely a distraction. i'm not a political figure. i'm a humanitarian figure. >> she knew she would get headlines that could be an image. >> she knew what the picture was and she would work on it in her mind, it was almost like an

instinctive thing. and she said well, they can never take away the pictures. >> she had short-circuited 30 years of mostly men in suits talking, and you would probably find a good 300,000 people who are alive that would it be, without the trip. >> diana invented the idea of the celebrity activist, the celebrity conscience, she's almost a diplomatic figure by this point >> it's what the labour party have been waiting for all these years. >> when in 97 we got a new and young labor prime minister, tony blair, that was something good for diana. >> a new dawn has broken. >> we see diana having meetings with tony blair, the new prime minister, diana, had a plan,

the trip to angola was just the start. >> she harbored this ambition to be some kind of ambassador from the country . >> i've got no doubt whatsoever that, had she lived, something would have developed. the labor government, were all about modernization, and energy and a new way of doing things, and, she was in that same space. the royal family, charles would have been seen as the face of conservativism >> she needs to make sure that the narrative around her life, moving forward, was positive. so diana is clever, she wooed the editors of the papers and would invite them over for these cozy lunches at kensington palace.

>> however much you are in love with diana and her image, she was a manipulator. she could throw you off your guard with a flutter of the eyelids. it was a tactic. >> she actually phoned her favorite photographers to let them know where she might be. she would telephone gossip writers, she would encourage them to build her up at the expense of the rest of the rather staged royal family. but you will get your fingers burned if you messed with the fire, and the fire was the media .

. >> the footage is so delightful, we see her trying to learn more about her partner's family and heritage, she's really invested in trying to make it work. >> it probably was true love but at that stage in her life i think she would have done anything else if he said he would marry her. that probably would have included converting to islam. >> diana and i had a very good relationship, no personal problems. the only problem we did have was with the media and the only place we could have any privacy was at kensington palace, as they could not get to was there. >>'s inquest statement shows that for this relationship to continue, they needed to free themselves from the press. >> i told her the any way i could see us having a normal life together as if we went to

pakistan as the press don't bother you there. >> she hopes that somehow she be able to slip off into some sort of new, private world but it certainly wasn't going to happen. >> it was intense, the coverage when you were with diana. you just need to find one thing , and it would be on the front page of all the newspapers. >> diana was worried about that. she felt that hazmat would crack and that would be the end of it. but the spotlight was on her, you can't divorce yourself from the media, once you've taken their vows. you can't just decide one morning you don't feel like it today. they are camped on your doorstep, for life. >> give us some privacy,

please. thank you very much. >> she had had police protection for a couple of years, the barrier between her and the paparazzi no longer existed. >> it was a heyday for them because they would rush out and it would be right in her face, close up, lenses in the face, talking to her, being rude to her. >> get out! >> you would be waiting for a tip from someone saying that she is at such and such a place. . there were a block of flats opposite the kingdom and originally we paid someone to actually go into their flat and use their window. you needed a view. >> she was photographed leaving

diana decided to auction off 79 of her dresses for charity. so diana, once again, for thrust herself in the spotlight, creating this massive frenzy around her. all eyes are on her, none of us knowing it was going to be the last time she would be visiting america. >> it's already been dubbed the jumbo sale of the century. >> diana was eager to redefine herself, based on her humanitarian work. and her wardrobe followed suit. >> most of us probably couldn't

fit into it, she's very tall and very slim. i know i couldn't. >> i thought it was a wonderful idea that she's kind of shedding a skin. >> everyone in new york came to that auction, because it was diana. >> there were so many people there, everybody dressed up tight and shuffling around trying to get in there. >> $36,000, $38,000. >> i remember sitting there and watching the dollar signs just go up and up, these dresses were being sold for astronomical sums. >> that's 100 $30,000. >> and it raised a lot of money for charity, i think something north of $3 million for charity, in one night.

interest, people started writing about him, investigating his family. >> the princess of wales was giving nothing away about her meeting, she slipped out to meet his mother and father but despite reports, the father of the heart specialist said the princess was a good friend not a girlfriend, of his son. >> in the trips to pakistan, she wants the commitment from hazmat back to her. >> they had been together for two years, and she wanted to go public. . >> my main concerned about us getting married was that my life would be . i knew i would not be able to live a normal life and if we ever had children together, i would not be able to do normal things with them. i did not want that sort of lifestyle. >> hasnat khan a statement for the diana inquest shows us that everything that comes with diana, is pushing hasnat khan

hi, i'm denise. i've lost over 22 pounds with golo in six months and i've kept it off for over a year.

i was skeptical about golo in the beginning because i've tried so many different types of diet products before. i've tried detox, i've tried teas, i've tried all different types of pills, so i was skeptical about anything working because it never did. but look what golo has done. look what it has done. i'm in a size 4 pair of pants. go golo.

celebrity version of royalty. >> he was showering her with lavish gifts and filling her apartment with roses. so she was bedazzled by him. and he was taking her everywhere. >> dodi whisked diana away for two more luxury holidays on his, you know, uber yacht. >> i remember sardinia, corsica, even at one point pulling into majorca. it was just a crazy time. >> this was a relationship going at rocket speed. in total they only spent just under four weeks together. >> they did have some affinities. they both had difficult childhoods. they had a certain

vulnerability. they were both outsiders. >> you start to see this relationship evolve with photos in the press. for diana to show the world that she's now happy. >> that was a huge break with diana from previous relationships. it was saying i'm a single woman, i'm seeing a man, he's available, i'm available, well, why not? >> their holiday was filmed by the italian paparazzi, who are now auctioning the photographs to the highest bidder. >> there was a real feeling that if this relationship were really going to be the one then we wanted to be ahead of the game. so you would pay for those photographs. it became enormously important for the media to follow this story to its conclusion. >> every newspaper editor on fleet street was buying into

this story, and they were already writing the next chapter. they were already writing the wedding bells will be ringing soon. >> right at the end of august they end up in paris for one more night. she and i spoke on that saturday night, and she was very keen to get back to london. she was missing her boys a lot. and those last few days she kind of lost control. she sort of surrendered it to the fayed machine. >> on that fateful night there was speculation that dodi was going to propose to diana. >> i'm not entirely sure diana was ready to accept a proposal of marriage. she insisted she wasn't.
