Princes have given ‘last word’ on Diana, says documentary maker

The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry have given their “final word” on their mother in a new documentary, its director has said.

Diana, 7 Days details the week of the death of the Princess of Wales and the national outpouring of grief that followed.

Henry  Singer, the filmmaker who made the Twin Towers documentary The Falling Man for the fifth anniversary of 9/11, said he was allowed to ask William and Harry anything for the BBC’s new 90-minute programme, although they could choose not to answer.

He told the Radio Times: “They talk about coming down to London, what it was like to go outside, and how people were so anxious to see them, and how people were crying, and yet they didn’t cry.”

Singer said: “My film may not have the headlines that other films have had, but I would like to think I will do something that lasts the test of time, and that, for me, is much more important than breaking news.”

He continued: “I think the Princes hope they have answered these questions once and for all, and they don’t need to be asked them anymore, and that people can refer back to this film and our words within it if they have questions. That this is their first, and final word on it.”
