Amid the turmoil surrounding the troubled relationship of Princess Diana to Prince Charles, it was revealed that her friends started to shun the Princess and snub her from events. As a result, she was forced to live a double life amid her doomed marriage.
According to a report by Us Weekly, a 12-part documentary aired over a podcast entitled Fatal Voyage: Diana Case Solved detailed the secret tapes featuring Diana and an old flame, as well as Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles.
The documentary was borne from the investigation of Colin McLaren, who wrote the book Diana: Case Solved with Dylan Howard, that detailed the private lives of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and provided insight into their doomed relationship.
The secret tapes reportedly threatened to expose the private lives of Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and Camilla Parker-Bowles, which later culminated in the Princess's tell-all interview to BBC.
Both the book and documentary team employed the efforts of retired crime scene detectives, forensic pathologists, and royal insiders and went in-depth into the tragic death of one of the world's most beloved royals at the age of 36 in 1997.
Apart from the sordid details of her unhappy marriage, Diana: Case Solved detailed the double life that the Princess has to lead on and off the cameras. It was said that, while she pasted on a smile and performed her royal duties, she suffered in misery as her so-called friends abandoned her. Amid all these, the Princess, reportedly, turned to psychics and alternative healers to ease her loneliness.
Meanwhile, her royal butler Paul Burrell shared that, as Diana became active with her advocacies such as AIDS awareness and the campaign against land mines, the Princess earned the displeasure of big businesses and shady organizations who may have a hand in the industry.
"There were factions around the world who said that Diana was meddling in something she didn't understand because the land mine campaign was worth billions," Burrell said.
Diana: Case Solved delved into the conspiracy theories surrounding Diana's tragic death and revisited the evidence, documents, covert diaries, and recordings that the Princess made herself, which the book described as her way of "logging the Windsors' most intimate secrets and hidden scandals as a desperate kind of insurance policy."
The book, also, called to question whether Diana's death was indeed an accident or was caused by a mysterious unknown party that wanted to silence Diana from speaking out against the establishment.
