A new documentary series based on previously unreleased recordings of Diana, Princess of Wales, is set to be released in 2027, promising to present her story in her own voice. The project focuses on private conversations recorded in the early 1990s that later formed part of a landmark biography.
The series, titled “Diana: The Unheard Truth,” uses around five hours of audio recordings made between Diana and her confidante, Dr. James Colthurst. These tapes originally contributed to Andrew Morton’s 1992 book “Diana: Her True Story,” which reshaped public understanding of the royal family.

Additionally, the documentary will include contributions from members of Diana’s close circle, including advisers, friends, and former staff. It also revisits the public scrutiny and media pressure that surrounded her marriage and life within the British monarchy.
