Drama. Romance Detailing the final years of Princess Diana's (Naomi Watts) life before her death in Paris in 1997. The movie centers on her relationship with British-Pakistani heart and lung surgeon, Dr. Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews). Their 18-month relationship ended mere weeks before the accident that caused her death.

	Media	Author	Review
		David Edwards Mirror	"Diana can only be described as a fabulously awful film (...) Despite a peroxide hair-job, she looks, sounds and acts nothing like the Princess of Wales. Wesley Snipes in a blonde wig would be more convincing."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Poor Princess Diana. I hesitate to use the term "car crash cinema". But the awful truth is that, 16 years after that terrible day in 1997, she has died another awful death."
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"The historical accuracy of Diana is bound to be questioned. What makes it frustrating as a film, though, are its many sudden shifts in mood"
		Charles Grant Variety	"This Princess Di biopic swerves past the pitfall of tastelessness only to risk a more perilous roadblock: dullness (...) trash TV on a bigger budget."
		Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Royal with cheese."
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Anchored by Ms. Watts’s sympathetic performance, it humanizes the woman behind the smile, the helmet hair and the myth."
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"The tedious movie lacks any insight into the characters involved, and surely would have the late Princess of Wales rolling in her grave. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
