Princess Diana's tumultuous life, from her rise to international fame as the shy, young bride of Prince Charles to her tragic and untimely death in an automobile accident in 1997, has become the stuff of legend, and this documentary chronicles the true story of the "people's princess." Focusing on Diana's devotion to charitable work and the warmth and compassion that was as much her hallmark as her beauty and personal style, The Spirit of Diana offers a glimpse of the woman behind the headlines. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
