00:01Me? My humble love note is turning into a Valentine's Day massacre.
00:06You think you've got problems?
00:08I just chewed my way out of a dog carrier.
00:10Oh! Elton John!
00:12That's my name.
00:14Well, not really.
00:15I hate to sound like a screaming fan, but...
00:18AHHHHH!
00:19Oh my god.
00:49On a trip to Australia, the press was quick to take advantage of all the bronzed bodies on display.
00:59Often in her desire to please, Diana is accused of becoming a chameleon.
01:03Psychologists claim that her self-esteem is so low that she feels she exists only when she takes on the colouring of her surroundings.
01:10She mixes easily. She is a princess in Kensington, a Sloan Ranger in Knightsbridge,
01:15and a very ordinary girl when in conversation with Australian lifeguards.
01:19All I am I give to you, you honour me and I'll obey you.
01:43I, Diana Francis,
01:47take thee, Charles Philip Arthur George,
01:53to my wedded husband,
01:56to have and to hold,
01:58from this day forward,
02:01for better, for worse.
02:04Never look at anyone, anyone but me.
02:11Never look at anyone,
02:14I must be all you see.
02:17Listen to those wedding bells,
02:21say goodbye to other girls.
02:24I'll never be untrue alone,
02:26Don't be untrue to me.
02:43Don't be untrue to me.
02:48And he went up to collect his prize first.
02:50Charles, went to kiss her, and she turned it back.
02:53Pictures of him kissing the back of her head.
02:55The
03:20privacy of the Scottish estate was again invaded by the press.
03:23Transcripts appeared in newspapers of a bugged telephone conversation
03:28allegedly between the Princess of Wales,
03:30endearingly referred to as Squidgey, and her friend James Gilby.
03:34The recording revealed a princess in turmoil,
03:37deeply troubled, lonely and vulnerable.
03:39It's just so difficult, so complicated.
03:41It makes my life real, real torture.
03:45I'm decided.
03:46Lonely and without friends in the Wael family,
03:49Diana turned to the Queen Mother for support.
03:51Despite Diana's recorded protestation
04:08that she had done so much for the royal family,
04:10officials dismissed the tapes as inconclusive.
04:12The Sun newspaper reported that the Secret Service MI5
04:26was behind the recordings.
04:28Newspaper reports claim that the government's
04:30official electronic eavesdropping station was responsible.
04:33In the interest of national security,
04:35MI5 monitors royal telephone conversations
04:37to gain knowledge about their movements and acquaintances.
04:41A more sinister view is that Charles needed evidence of his wife's infidelity.
04:45It was in Charles's interest, and perhaps the palace's interest, no-one else's,
04:52that Diana's phones be bugged, and bugged they were.
04:56She knew that herself and had complained to the Queen's private secretary,
05:00Sir Robert Fellows, that her apartments were bugged
05:03and they needed debugging, and indeed they were cleaned up.
05:06What wasn't cleaned up was what was happening on the line
05:10from her apartments to the outside world,
05:12and most experts concur that it was between, let us say,
05:19her phone and the general switchboard that a bug was placed.
05:24What's disturbing is not the Diana's bug, necessarily,
05:30because that was, the excuse could have been the national interest,
05:34but that the eventual recording was cleaned up,
05:38cleaned up with a very sophisticated device called a digital adapter filter.
05:43This sort of thing would be needed, would cost about £35,000
05:47and would normally only be available to the security services or to the military.
05:50So that was used, it was cleaned up, and after it was cleaned up,
05:55it was spliced together, there were joins in the,
05:58audible joins in milliseconds in the conversation,
06:03and then it was rebroadcast.
06:06Rebroadcast using a mobile telephone to disguise their sources.
06:11This way the perpetrators ensured that the tape conversation
06:13was picked up accidentally by amateur radio hands.
06:17By contacting the press, this telephone evidence confirmed
06:20that Diana was unhappy in her marriage to Charles
06:23and needed the support and love of a male companion.
06:27Exposed by the tapes and now handed by the press,
06:30there is no doubt that James Gilbey helped Diana through her crisis.
06:34Lonely, depressed and spied upon,
06:36Diana spent many years waiting to be heard
06:38by a man with a sympathetic and understanding ear.
06:41Let's see what's wrong with her.
06:46The biggest thing is,
06:48and in the first time,
06:48this has been incredible,
06:48so I will see you next time.
06:49I can't find anyone,
06:50you know,
06:51I want to see you next time.
06:52I want to know,
06:52we're going to see you next time,
06:54for you next time,
06:55but we're going to see you next time.
06:56I'll see you next time.
06:57Bye.
06:57Bye.
06:58Bye.
07:00Bye.
07:00Bye.
07:02Bye.
07:03Bye.
07:04Bye.
07:05Bye.
07:08Bye.
07:08Bye.
07:09Bye.
07:09Bye.
07:10Bye.
07:10Bye.
07:11A letter to my future self. Am I still happy I began? Have I grown up pretty? Is daddy still a good man? Am I still friends with Colleen? I'm sure that I'm still laughing.
07:33Aren't I? Aren't I?

09:40To feel joy in my big blue. Sad times and bad times. See them through. Soon we will know. If it's for real. What we both feel.

10:00We were put here on this earth, put here to feel the joy
10:30We were put here to feel joy
11:00Robin Cook remarked that if the crash had been caused in part by being hounded by paparazzi, it would be doubly tragic.
11:10Diana's younger brother, the Earl Spencer, also blamed tabloid media for her death.
11:17An 18-month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the crash was caused by Paul, who lost control at high speed while intoxicated.
11:27As reported by the BBC, no charges were brought against the paparazzi who had been pursuing the princess's car.
11:39Early on, it was uncertain that Diana would receive a ceremonial funeral since she had lost the status of Her Royal Highness following her divorce from Prince Charles in 1996.
11:51Diana's death was met with extraordinary public expressions of grief.
11:57In her funeral at Westminster Abbey on September 6th, drew an estimated 3 million mourners and onlookers in London.
12:05Outside the Abbey and in Hyde Park, crowds watched and listened to proceedings on large outdoor screens and speakers as guests filed in,
12:14including representatives of the many charities of which Diana was patron.
12:20Attendees included U.S. First Lady Hillary Clinton and French First Lady Bernadette Chirac,
12:28as well as celebrities, including Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti and two friends of Diana, George Michael and Elton John.
12:36John performed a rewritten version of his song, Candle in the Wind, that was dedicated to her, known as Goodbye England's Rose, or Candle in the Wind 1997.
12:50The single became the best-selling single since U.K. and U.S. single charts began in the 1950s, with total sales exceeding 33 million units.
13:02The funeral is estimated to have been watched by 31.5 million viewers in Britain.
13:09Precise calculation of the worldwide audience is not known, but it was estimated to be around 2.5 billion.
13:16The ceremony was broadcast in 44 languages.
13:20William, wrestling his emotions as the cameras and paparazzi encroach on this most private moment.
13:26Diana called him her little wise old man.
13:30He's 15.
13:32Harry, he's just 12 years old.
13:35He always wanted to have a normal life, and instead he has to stand here, stifling his grief.
13:42Amidst all the splendor and ceremony, one thing in particular stands out.
13:47The single handwritten word on a white envelope on top of the coffin.
13:52Mummy.
13:54To so many people, Diana was an icon, a legend.
13:58To Harry and William, she was a mother.
14:00After the end of the ceremony, Diana's coffin was driven to Althorpe in a Daimler hearse.
14:12Mourners cast flowers at the funeral procession for almost the entire length of its journey,
14:18and vehicles even stopped on the opposite carriageway of the M1 motorway as the cars passed.
14:25In a private ceremony, Diana was buried on an island in the middle of a lake called the Oval, which is part of the Pleasure Garden at Althorpe.
14:35The coffin bore the weight of a quarter of a ton as it was lined with lead, as is tradition with British royalty.
14:44In her coffin, she wears a black Catherine Walker dress and black tights and is holding a rosary in her hands.
14:52The rosary had been a gift from Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a confidant of Diana, who had died the day before the funeral.
15:02A visitor's center is open during summer months with an exhibition about Diana and a walk around the lake.
15:09All profits are donated to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
