All The Times Princess Diana Played By Her Own Rules

Opening up to the media

Royals tend not to respond to public controversy and this was incredibly difficult for Diana as she always splashed all over the papers for some reason. In 1995, the Princess decided to make her own decision and gave an interview to the BBC in an attempt to hit back at the media headlines and gain some control over it.

The interview was watched by more than 21.5 million people in the UK but despite her positive intentions, it somewhat backfired and Diana regretted giving the interview.
