Newly discovered Princess Diana audio reveals distressing moments, reflections on marriage and baby Harry.

Echoes of Diana: Unearthed Audio Reveals Troubling Times and Thoughts

Echoes of ‍the pathos ⁢that was behind the persona of Diana, Princess of Wales, emerged in newly released audio recordings that are being used for a documentary about the princess who died at 36 on Aug. 31, 1997.

Snippets of audio⁤ tapes ⁣that will be used in the documentary, “Diana: The Rest of Her Story,” were released Friday according to Good Morning America

In one short recording, ⁤Diana spoke about then-Prince Charles, prior to their divorce, and Diana’s ⁣mother Frances Shand Kydd.

“My husband⁣ won’t even talk to Mummy, barely, because at Harry’s ‌christening, ‍Charles went up to [her] and said, ⁤‘You know, ⁢we’re so disappointed. We‌ thought it’d be a girl,’” Diana said.

“And Mummy snapped his ⁢head ⁣off and said, ‘You should realize how lucky you are to‌ have a⁢ child ‌that’s normal,’” Diana said, noting the incident had ⁢consequences.

“And ever since that day, a shutter [has] come down, ⁣and that’s what he does when he ‌gets somebody answering back at him, so to speak,” she said.

In another recording, ⁢Diana ⁤spoke about her troubles with Raine Spencer, her stepmother.

“And I said, ‘Pain, Raine, it’s one word you ‍don’t even know how to relate to. In my ⁢job and in my role, I see people suffer like you’ve never seen, and you call that pain.’ I said, ‘You’ve got a lot to learn,’” Diana said. “I remember ⁣really going for her gullet.”

In ⁢one short ⁣passage, Diana spoke about her marriage to Charles, from whom‌ she was divorced in 1996, a year before her⁢ death.

“It was ⁢so grown up. Here’s ⁢Diana, a kindergarten teacher. I mean the whole thing was ridiculous,” she said in the clip, ⁣according to the New ⁢York Post.

Dr. James Colthurst, who gave ‍the tapes to Andrew Morton, Diana’s ⁤biographer, said Charles’s affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, now Queen Camilla, had a severe impact on ⁤Diana.

“You could see her ‌fading physically,”‍ Colthurst said. ‍“It was clear to‌ all those who knew her‍ that the bulimia was a reaction to the circumstances she found ‍herself in.”

Morton, who used the tapes for his bestselling 1992 book “Diana: Her True Story,” said​ the tapes will help ⁣people get a better​ sense of Diana according ​to Good Morning America.

“It’s one thing to read something on a page, but it’s ​quite another to hear‍ the person talking about it, and⁤ here we have ‍Diana talking about her ambitions for the future,” Morton said, according to Good Morning America. “There’s a real poignancy about some of the aspects of the tape, and I think people will get a really vivid sense of her personality and her character.”

Tom Jennings, director and executive producer of the new documentary, ⁢said it has a different concept than any project previously done about Diana.

“I said, ‘Andrew, wait. We do this completely different. There’s no narrator. There are no modern-day interviews. We only use media from the time. It would be like Diana is narrating her own ​film,’” Jennings said. “And he said, ‘No one has ever asked me to do it​ that way before. When can you come to London?’”

Jennings continued, “I was in London the next⁤ morning. [Morton] pushed play on these tapes, and for ⁢the next seven hours, we sat in a very small room, [and] ‌ it was as if Diana was sitting there with us, ⁣telling us her life story.”

The documentary is expected to be released in 2024.

Morton noted that⁢ the tapes are from a different world.

“She​ never thought for a second that Camilla would become queen, so we have a very different perspective on unfolding history,” Morton said, according to CNN.
