Channel 4’s Princess Diana documentary aired last night (Sunday, August 21) – and viewers had the same complaint to make.
Fans of the late royal were not happy with the “ridiculous” documentary, with many arguing that it’s time to stop making documentaries about her death.
Channel 4’s Diana documentary
Last night saw Investigating Diana: Death in Paris, a new documentary, air on Channel 4.
The new four-part series tries to uncover the truth behind the Princess of Wales’ death – 25 years on.
The new documentary looked at the specifics of the crash and spoke to emergency response teams who dealt with it.
Detectives who worked on the case were also interviewed in the documentary.
The documentary also featured an interview with Martine Monteil, the French Police Chief who was first to arrive at the scene of the crash.
In the interview, she spoke about how she discovered some “tiny pearls” at the crash scene.
“They belonged to the Princess,” she said.
Princess Diana death
Some viewers were not happy with the Diana documentary, with some even going so far as to brand it “ridiculous”.
Some called for documentaries about the Princess’ death to stop being made and to allow her to rest in peace.
“Watching #Investigatingdiana as we approached her 25th anniversary since that terrible tragedy. Isn’t it about time we stop creating documentaries about her death, let her rest in peace & let the Princes get on with their lives?” one viewer tweeted.
“The media need to let the woman rest in peace, and stop using her death anniversary to rewrite her life and story,” another wrote.
“They need to leave her son [Prince Harry] alone also!”
The complaints didn’t stop there though.
“It’s been 25 years and all these incessant programmes and documentaries need to stop. Let the woman rest in peace,” a third viewer ranted.
Additionally, another said: “I won’t be watching. Ridiculous. She’s been dead 25 years. Leave it be.”
Not everyone had negative things to say. “I’m endlessly fascinated, intrigued & saddened by her story,” one viewer tweeted.
Another added: “@Channel4 has done it again! As we approach the anniversary of the death of #PrincessDiana, the channel delivers an insightful & detailed documentary that attempts to find those responsible!”
