A forthcoming three-part documentary series, provisionally titled 'Diana: The Unheard Truth,' is set to premiere on August 31, 2027. This significant date marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of Diana, Princess of Wales. The series promises to offer an unprecedented look into her life, drawing from five hours of audio recordings that have remained unheard by the public until now. These tapes are expected to reveal intimate details of her experiences within the royal family, her thoughts on the future of key royal figures, and her personal ambitions for a life independent of the monarchy.

The audio recordings were originally made in 1991 by Dr. James Colthurst, a trusted confidant of Princess Diana. These tapes were discreetly transferred from Kensington Palace to author Andrew Morton, forming the foundation of his groundbreaking biography, 'Diana Her True Story,' which significantly altered the narrative of royal history. Despite the book's impact, less than an hour of these extensive recordings has ever been publicly heard over the past three decades. Love Monday TV has secured exclusive access to this comprehensive archive, in collaboration with both Morton and Colthurst. The documentary will feature appearances from Morton, Colthurst, and publisher Michael O'Mara, who will reflect on the challenging circumstances surrounding the creation of Morton's book, including the personal risks undertaken by Diana and the intense public scrutiny faced by all involved.

Beyond the primary audio source, the series will also include interviews with a diverse group of individuals who were close to Princess Diana. These contributors include Delissa Needham, a former prep school classmate making her first on-camera appearance, along with figures such as hairdresser Sam McKnight, astrologer Penny Thornton, dancer Wayne Sleep, former bodyguard Ken Wharfe, royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter, photographer Kent Gavin, and Daily Mail journalist Richard Kay. Their testimonies are anticipated to provide a multi-faceted perspective on Diana's life and legacy.

The production of 'Diana: The Unheard Truth' is a collaborative effort, with Sophie Todd serving as the series editor, Emily Hirst as producer, and Justin Frahm as director of photography. Funding for this project is provided by Rainmaker Films, led by Clay Pecorin, Russell Geyser, and Zak Tanjeloff, as well as Plymouth Films, under the leadership of Kevin Weisberg.

This new docuseries emerges from the creative teams behind several notable productions. Love Monday TV, led by executive producers Kerene Barefield and Naveed Chowdhary-Flatt, previously brought audiences 'Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors.' Concurrently, 53 Degrees Global, another key production partner, boasts credits that include the Netflix production 'The Royal House of Windsor' and the BAFTA-winning 'The Queen's 90th Birthday Celebration.' These previous works highlight the teams' experience in producing high-quality documentaries on royal subjects, promising a comprehensive and sensitive exploration of Princess Diana's story through this unprecedented access to her personal reflections.
