She also discusses the obstacles Diana faced in trying to get her ideas accepted by the Royal Family. Mary Robertson, an American banker for whom the young Lady Diana Spencer worked as a nanny reveals how it felt to employ a young woman who was dating the future King of England.

Archival footage of Princess Diana is combined with interviews from the people who knew her throughout her life, including her nanny, schoolteachers, therapists and astrologer.

As do the land mine survivors and Lord Attenborough himself who adds his own special insight into the Princess and her achievements.

This special presentation is both a loving tribute to one of the great leaders of out generation, as well as a celebration of whom Diana truly was, the power she had to heal and inspire, and the legacy she left behind.
