16 years after her tragic death, “Diana” the biopic of the late Diana, Princess of Wales opens in cinemas this Friday amid huge controversy.

The film focuses on the final two years of Diana’s life a serious relationship that she allegedly had with a Pakistani surgeon called Dr Hasnat Khan.

The film suggests that Dodi fayed was only a device to make dr. khan jealous. To say the film has had mixed reviews is to put it kindly. One critic even used the unfortunate phrase ‘car crash cinema’ to describe the movie.

But how true to life is the movie? And how will the royal family react to it?

Dickie Arbiter, royal commentator and former press secretary for the Queen and media manager for Prince Charles and the late princess Diana joined Pat this morning.
