This year, the late Princess Diana would have turned 60 years old. To celebrate the occasion, Channel 10 and 10 play will air a three-part special event which sheds new light on the life and legacy of the People’s Princess.
Each episode will focus on a different decade using never-before-heard testimonies and rarely seen archival footage to provide a vivid insight into the complex woman behind the media image.
Episode one, which is available now on 10 play, looks at the 1970s, where ‘Shy Di’ began to make her mark as a world icon. The fascination over Diana began as she catapulted from a bashful teen to the future Queen of Britain.

The ‘80s was also the decade where Diana truly found her voice. From ‘Dynasty Di’ to AIDS champion, Diana was deeply committed to being a humanitarian icon.
The trilogy concludes 8.30 Thursday, July 21st, with a look into the 1990s, the decade that Diana tragically lost her life. The episode explores how her life and death shaped the ‘90s, and the legacy she left behind.
