How to watch new documentary The Princess: The Story Of Princess Diana

A new documentary which will show unseen archive footage of Princess Diana will soon be available to watch in the UK. Royal fans will be able to watch The Princess: The Story Of Princess Diana told exclusively through archival footage next month.

The critically acclaimed feature documentary film The Princess will be coming to Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW from August 14. Telling the story of Diana, Princess of Wales exclusively through contemporaneous archival audio and video footage, the Sky Original documentary arrives exclusively on TV screens in August, straight off the back of its cinema release and in the month that marks the 25 th anniversary of her death.

The relationship between Diana and Charles, the Prince and Princess of Wales, has been well documented. From their seemingly fairy-tale marriage, to the fractured marriage that followed and ultimately Diana’s tragic and untimely death, her life appears to have been explored in its entirety.

However, The Princess reframes her story by taking an entirely immersive approach, drawing solely from audio and video footage from the time to take audiences back to these era-defining events as they happened, and in doing so, allows the narrative to unfold as if it were in the present.

Produced by Lightbox in association with HBO and Sky, directed by Academy Award-nominated Ed Perkins (Black Sheep, Tell Me Who I Am) with Academy Award-winning producer Simon Chinn (Man on Wire, Searching for Sugar Man) and Emmy Award-winning producer Jonathan Chinn (LA92, TINA), The Princess is described as a fresh and bold account of Diana’s life and death.

The Princess will air on Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW on August 14. If you don't have Sky unfortunately you won't be able to watch it, unless you sign up to a trial via NOW TV.

Sky are currently offering special deals on their TV packages which start from £26 a month. This package includes Sky Q, Sky TV and Netflix, so not only will you be able to watch The Princess documentary via the Sky TV channels but you can also watch the other popular royal fan favourite, The Crown on Netflix.

Sky also have a Sky Q, Sky TV, Netflix and Sky Sports package for £46 a month for 18 months, or a Sky Q, Sky TV, Netflix, Sky Cinema and the newly launches Paramount+ streaming service package for £38 a month for 18 months. You can view all of their deals here.
