You've got to remember that

-(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING)

REPORTER 1: This week,
a sensational new book

has exposed dramatic insights
into the private life

of the royal couple.

Shocking revelations of a hollow
and tormented marriage

are giving the British media

and it's public
little else to talk about.

REPORTER 2:
According to Morton,

Princess Diana's
suicide attempts

which included throwing herself
down a flight of stairs

when she was
three-months pregnant

and slashing her wrists
with a razor blade

were a desperate cry
for help and attention

from her husband,
Prince Charles.

RADIO CALLER 1:
Slashed her wrists
with a razorblade,

cut herself with a lemon slicer
and a pen knife,

and yet, I've never seen
any scars in any photos.

RADIO CALLER 2:
And I just find it very strange

to think that this girl
has tried to commit suicide,

unsuccessfully five times
and wants it to be publicized.

I find that very difficult
to-- to believe.

Especially-- she's a mother too,

she's got young children
who are gonna be affected

by this.

REPORTER:
The author insisted today

that close friends
of the princess

stand by the integrity
of the book.

He came on ITN's lunchtime news
to make his first live defense

of the claims on television.

Mr. Morton, this book is called
Diana: Her True Story.

It's not her story, is it?

It's what you say
unnamed friends told you.

That's rather different,
isn't it?

I think that the reason
why this book is authentic

is because many
of her closest friends

have spoken to me on the record,
and more than that,

they've stood by
their statements.

Nevertheless,
unlike other journalists,

you don't really
have to check your facts

that thoroughly, do you?

NEWS ANCHOR:
Miss Junor, doesn't the silence

of Buckingham Palace
and the absence

of even a single lawsuit
give evidence to the idea

that perhaps Mr. Morton
was telling the truth?

PENNY JUNOR: No.
I think they all recognize

that the princess is ill,
she has bulimia.

The Palace know about it,
Prince Charles knows about it.

He knows that this is the result
of a sick mind.

She has said
some terrible things

about her husband,

she's accused him of being
a bad husband,

a bad father,

and carrying on an all
but adulterous affair

with Camilla Parker-Bowles.

INTERVIEWER:
You do say in the book though

that Diana and Charles
have separate bedrooms.

ANDREW MORTON:
Yes, they have separate
bedrooms at Highgrove,

they have...
essentially have separate lives

and they have done
for some time now.

INTERVIEWER:
Now, what about the bracelet?

MORTON: Well, this is a bracelet
that Diana discovered

at Buckingham Palace,

a gift that Prince Charles
bought for Camilla.

It was inscribed F and G,
Fred and Gladys,

the two nicknames
which they use for each other.

INTERVIEWER: And I think
there's a teeny point,

that actually the GF
stands for Girl Friday

which is his secret pet nickname
for Camilla.

-And, uh...
-MORTON: Louise, Louise,

I think... I think really
it should be Girl Friday,

Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday.

PRINCE CHARLES:
Mrs. Parker-Bowles is...

a great friend of mine.

She has been a friend
for a very long time

and will continue to be a friend
for a very long time.

When marriages break down,
awful and miserable as that is,

it is your friends

Diana told millions of viewers

REPORTER: I had to step out

ALAN: Get it loud.

REPORTER: We were told
by a-- a hospital, uh, employee

making a public statement

and uh, now
the French Interior Minister,

Jean-Pierre Chevènement,

is speaking and expressing
his condolences.

Can you hear me?

NEWS ANCHOR:
It appears to be official.

Princess Diana at the age of 36

has died of massive
internal injuries

she, uh,
suffered in a car accident

along with her companion
Dodi Al Fayed.

Let's go now live to CNN's

Our thoughts and prayers

are with
Princess Diana's family,

in particular, her two sons,
the two boys.

Our hearts go out to them.

We are today...

a nation, in Britain,
in a state of shock.

Didn't think we--

REPORTER:
You are telling people,
"Get a life."

Well, in fact
haven't they gotten a life?

Well, they've got no choice
but to get a life.

She's not coming back.

We can get on without her,
right?

It wasn't such a big deal.

Um, and many, many people, are,
I-- I think now, also now,

are not afraid to say
that she didn't mean that much.

ONLOOKER: You don't know
what you're talking about.

You shouldn't even be
in these gardens, now,

you denigrate Diana
and her image,

you should not be here...

CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS:
I shouldn't be in these gardens?
Who the hell are you?

-Because the people-- people
that have respect for Diana--
-HITCHENS: Look, I think

you're about as smart
as you look.

You see what--
you see what brain rot--

you see what brain rot descends
on people.

Unbelievable.

Just typical reaction

Stick to protocol.

Don't worry about human emotion.

I think it's time we...

stop talking about them

with us as a country

that this Royal Family

should apparently mean
so much to us.

RADIO CALLER 1:
People are showing
their grief in this way,

because they want

That they just can't sweep
her under the carpet.

It is vulgar, it is garish,
it's excessive.

People grieving need to target
