New Princess Diana documentary includes never-before-heard audio l GMA

In the early 90's, Princess Diana recorded a series of audio tapes with a close friend. Morgan Norwood has that. Good morning to you Morgan. Hey, good morning to you Eva. This comes as we mark 26 years since the princess' death. In these never before released recordings, we're getting a first hand account of the princess' life, all in her own words. And this morning, we're hearing an exclusive listen. My husband won't even talk to mommy, barely. Because at Harry's christening, Charles went up to mommy and said, you know, you're so disappointed with Audrey being a girl. And mommy snapped his head off and said, you should realize how lucky you are to have a child that's normal. It's the late Princess Diana, in her own words. Ever since that day, the shutters come down. And that's what he does when he gets somebody answering back at him, so to speak. Her most intimate thoughts recorded more than 30 years ago in conversation with close friend James Coulthurst. The princess gave the tapes to author Andrew Morton, who wrote his best selling book, Diana, her true story. He was so grown up. And he was Diana, a kindergarten teacher. I mean, the whole thing was ridiculous. Director Tom Jennings following up on the success of his first film in 2017, using the same recordings given to him by Morton. When the first film came out, people were blown away because they had not heard Diana talk like this before. In the new film, Diana discussing her struggles surrounding mental health, her sons, and at times the troubled relationship with her stepmother, Rain Spencer. I said, I hate you so much. Oh, you knew how much we all hated you, what you've done. Ruined the house. You spent daddy's money. I said everything I possibly could. And Rain said, you have no idea how much pain your mother bothered you. I said, pain, Rain, one word you don't even know how to relate to. In my job and in my role, I see people suffer like you never see. And you call that pain? I said, you've got a lot to learn. I remember really going for her gutter. An intimate expose using only her voice. It's a style of storytelling that's very difficult to do. I think it's the closest thing to the truth that you can get, because nothing gets in your way. I think it's a part of Diana's legacy to allow more of those tapes to be heard. And Princess Diana recorded seven hours of audio while she was still married to Prince Charles and living in Kensington Palace. This film, guys, expected to be released in early 2024. Just fascinating to hear her thoughts. It gives you chills, that voice. Yeah, hear her own voice. Yeah. Morgan, thank you. Well, hey there, GMA fans. Robin Roberts here.
