Cineflix Rights has acquired the premium documentary series Diana Unheard (3×60’) from Love Monday TV, preparing to present the highly anticipated title to international buyers at MIPCOM 2026. Co-produced for three broadcasting partners across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia to mark the 30th anniversary of the Princess of Wales’s tragic death, the limited series is built upon hours of intimate, previously unreleased audio recordings in Diana’s own voice.
For years, Princess Diana has been primarily portrayed through a lens of vulnerability and tragedy. However, these secret, unfiltered, and spontaneous recordings reveal a self-aware, determined woman actively preparing to take control of her future. Captured during private conversations with a close confidant, the tapes offer audiences an unprecedented look into her reflections on identity, resilience, and purpose. Over the course of three episodes, Diana discusses pivotal moments in her life, ranging from her childhood and marriage to her husband’s long-standing affair with the future Queen, Camilla, as well as her profound hopes for her children, Princes William and Harry.
The docuseries also details the extraordinary lengths Diana went to in order to ensure her true story would survive. In a remarkable act of bravery and one of the greatest risks she ever assumed, the Princess devised an audacious plan to clandestinely smuggle the secret tapes out of Kensington Palace.
“Princess Diana has been the subject of numerous documentaries over the years, but what truly sets Diana Unheard apart is the unique opportunity to listen to several hours of intimate recordings of the Princess—her own story, told in her own voice, at a crucial moment in her life,” commented Richard Life, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Coproductions at Cineflix Rights. “Thirty years later, Diana remains a global icon and an endless source of fascination for audiences. We are thrilled to represent this premium limited series from Love Monday TV and look forward to presenting it to our international buyers at MIPCOM.”
Kerene Barefield, Creative Director at Love Monday TV, emphasized the production’s fresh perspective on a heavily scrutinized historical figure. “In making Diana Unheard, we wanted to challenge the narrative that has too often presented Diana, Princess of Wales, simply as a victim of her circumstances. At the heart of the series are hours of intimate recordings that allow Diana to reclaim her own story, in her own words,” Barefield noted. “Thanks to exclusive access to the complete collection of these extraordinary tapes, we hear Diana’s voice with a candor and intimacy rarely heard before. This is Diana not as a passive victim of events, but as a woman taking control of her own narrative and risking everything to make her voice heard. Diana Unheard returns the authorship of one of the most scrutinized lives in modern history to the woman who was at the center of it.”
