The Royal House of Windsor CHANNEL 4, 9.00PM
The penultimate episode in this revealing royal series focuses on what is acknowledged as the House of Windsor’s roughest patch since the Second World War. That period covered the 16 years or so from the engagement of the Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981 to the aftermath of her death in a car crash in Paris in 1997. This film also takes in the troubled marriages of the Queen’s other two children, her “annus horribilis” in 1992 when a large section of her beloved Windsor Castle burned down, and more. But it is Diana, Princess of Wales, who appears to be one of the greatest thorns ever to lodge in the Royal family’s side. Papers from the archives at Windsor Castle record impressive detail the Royal family’s anxiety over her transition from the shy 19-year-old who was thought to be a suitable match for the Prince to the uncontrollable global celebrity who all but eclipsed them.
