Diana appears basically via newsclips. Although I can see your point -- it's a difficult subject matter -- my only concern about such a dramatization is that it might fail to be as shocking as the real-life event. And might thus end up looking like a subpar reenactment. The night of Diana's death was shown briefly in "The Queen." Diana appears basically via newsclips.

I am one of many who only really was interesting in the idle and ceremonial Windsor family because of the impossible princess. I can't imagine sitting through a film about one of the most unremarkable monarchs to ever live. At least Lady Jane Grey knew the right time to die. But I think that it will be a long time before anyone sees a film about that night because no one really has the balls to do it.
