HBO’s Princess Diana Documentary Sheds Light On The Obsession Over Her In New Trailer

HBO has debuted a new trailer for the upcoming documentary focused on the life of the late Princess Diana.

The Princess, from director Ed Perkins, will premiere on August 13 on the network, and will explore her complex relationship with the media, her marriage to Prince Charles and her struggles with royal life.

Here’s a summary for the doc: “Intensely emotional, The Princess is a visceral submersion into Diana’s life in the constant and often intrusive glare of the media spotlight. The film unfolds as if it were in the present, allowing viewers to experience the overwhelming adoration, but also intense scrutiny of Diana’s every move and the constant judgment of her character. Through archival material, the film is also a reflection of society at the time, revealing the public’s own preoccupations, fears, aspirations and desires.”
