Decades after her passing, Princess Diana remains one of the most beloved and enigmatic figures in modern history. She was more than a fairy tale princess; she was a global icon who captivated hearts, challenged the monarchy, and redefined celebrity. But her story took a tragic turn in a Paris tunnel, sparking an ocean of conspiracy theories that still fuel debate today.

In this episode, we're taking a deep dive into the extraordinary life and perplexing death of Princess Diana. We'll start by tracing her journey from her aristocratic beginnings and a childhood personality that was far from shy, to her profoundly challenging marriage, which was built on duty and institutional pressure rather than love. You'll learn about the immense scrutiny she faced as a young bride and the emotional isolation that led to her battles with bulimia and postnatal depression.

Next, we'll explore her transformation into the "People's Princess," whose revolutionary willingness to break protocol and her hands-on charity work with controversial causes like AIDS and landmines made her a global superstar. We'll examine how her immense popularity eclipsed Prince Charles and created a deep friction within the palace, ultimately leading to the "War of the Waleses" and her momentous decision to reclaim her narrative with the explosive Panorama interview.

Finally, we'll confront the enduring mysteries and conspiracy theories surrounding her tragic death in Paris. We'll unpack the swirling claims about the Mishcon letter, which documented her premonition of a car crash, and the relentless plot theory of Dodi Al-Fayed’s father, Mohammed Al-Fayed. You'll hear about the bizarre incident of the white Fiat Uno, the delay in the release of official documents, and the profound public mourning that forced the monarchy to humanize and adapt to modern times.

Tune in to understand the woman behind the myth and the profound questions that still surround her legacy.
