The Queen Remembered - 7. From Tragedy to Triumph

The tragic death in Paris of Diana, Princess of Wales resulted in the greatest public criticism of the monarchy since the Queen had come to the Throne 45 years earlier. In this episode of Radio 4's new podcast on the reign of Elizabeth II, James Naughtie charts the astonishing impact of the Princess's passing and the root-and-branch reassessment of the monarchy to which it led. The way that the Royal Family presented itself to the public changed radically. In this episode, we discover how it was done.
