I saw the dreadful Nicole Kidman as princess Grace Kelly biographical film Grace of Monaco, a year before there came this biographical film about probably the British nation's, if not one of the world's, most famous princesses, directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall, The Invasion). Basically this film tells the story of the last two years in the life of Diana, Princess of Wales (Razzie nominated Naomi Watts), beginning with the events following her divorce from Prince Charles, including the infamous Panorama interview with Martin Bashir (Prasanna Puwanarajah). Following this, Diana is visiting a hospital, where she meets Pakistani heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan (Lost's Naveen Andrews), he is questionably calm towards her as they spend time together, and it builds into a relationship where both have developed loving feelings for each other. Diana knows that any relationship would cause a media storm, so she and Hasnat keep their love a secret, in the meantime Diana goes to Angola to campaign against the use of land mines, and she travels to Australia, Pakistan, New York, Bosnia, Italy and ultimately Paris, France to get involved in causes, it also shows her changes in fashion. Hasnat cannot take the pressures of their hidden relationship any longer, and he objects to Diana's celebrity status stopping them having a private life, so her desires for a life with him are ended when he breaks their relationship, Diana is heartbroken. In an attempt to make Hasnat jealous Diana starts dating Egyptian Dodi Fayed (Cas Anvar), son of billionaire and Harrods Department Store owner Mohamed Al-Fayed, and for a while it seems to work. But on 31st August 1997 tragedy occurs, Diana is last seen (on camera) inside a lift, before getting in Fayed's car, after being chased by reporters the car crashes in the Pont Alma Tunnel, in Paris, France, Diana, Fayed and the driver are killed (this is unseen), Hasnat is devastated to hear the news, all he can in the end is place a bunch of flowers where many well wishers have. Also starring Douglas Hodge as Paul Burrell, Geraldine James as Oonagh Shanley-Toffolo, Charles Edwards as Patrick Jephson, Juliet Stevenson as Sonia, Daniel Pirrie as Jason Fraser, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's Michael Byrne as Christiaan Barnard, Laurence Belcher as Prince William, Harry Holland as Prince Harry and Art Malik as Samundar. Watts may be British (I assumed she was either Australian or American), and she does have a relatively good likeness to the real Diana, "the most famous woman in the world", but all she does is do daft mannerisms, be overly nice, act naive in certain situations and put on some tears for sympathy. The bigger problem however is how the film is played out, it is like a mushy and predictable romantic drama with a forbidden love, the "people's princess" is made to look like a simple-minded blonde, it has the most terrible script, especially during the lovey dovey scenes, a fluffy and ultimately awful historical romance. Adequate!
