Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Oct, 02:07 · Archive

Previously unreleased recordings made by Princess Diana will feature in a new documentary.

Secret recordings made by Princess Diana are to be released in full for the first time in a new documentary titled 'Diana Unheard'. The tapes were previously used for author Andrew Morton's 1992 best-selling book, which was based on secret recordings the late princess had made and passed to Morton via her friend Dr James Colthurst. A production company has now been given the recordings in their entirety to produce the documentary.

The release comes after Earl Spencer made claims about King Charles in a new programme. The documentary may provide Diana's own views on those claims, though the exact content and timing of the full release have not been specified.
