Princess Diana news report about the programme
PRINCESS
DIANA, DO YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FOR THE VIEWERS?
 February
6, 2003
HERE'S
a new angle on Princess Diana's life that hadn't been done yet - a
pay-per-view TV séance to conjure up her "spirit."
And
hosted by ex-"Avengers" star Patrick Macnee, no less.
"The
Spirit of Diana," will cost curious viewers $14.95
and will feature psychics, "spiritual intimates" and others trying
to contact the otherworldly spirit of the late princess, killed in
a Paris car crash in August 1997.
The
show - which airs March 9 - includes live seances and interviews with,
among others, the father of her boyfriend, Dodi al-Fayed, and Andrew
Morton, who wrote the bestseller, "Diana: Her True Story in Her Own
Words."
"Princess
Diana asked me to tell the world about the real Princess Diana and
not the person portrayed to the world," says Oonagh Shanley-Toffolo,
described as England's "premier healer and spiritual intimate of the
Princess." (She's also a former nun and was the Duke of Windsor's
private nurse just before he died.)
The
90-minute broadcast will originate in London, with the live seances
featuring psychics "who had regular and sometimes daily contact with
the Princess," according to press materials.
Those
psychics include Shanley-Toffolo, Craig and Jane Hamilton-Parker,
Patricia Bankins and Penny Thornton.
"People
who see our special will discover a whole new side of the great lady
and the seances may provide yet more revelations about her and the
royal entourage," says Paul Sharratt, who's directing the PPV special
for Starcast Productions.
Among
the questions the psychics are hoping to answer: Was Diana really
in love with Dodi? Was she pregnant when she died? Does she have anything
more to say to her loved ones?
The
one-time-only TV "event" is being distributed by Associated Television
International via iN DEMAND.
So
what is Macnee's connection to Diana?
"He
first met Princess Diana at the royal premiere of 'A View to a Kill,'
the James Bond thriller in which he co-starred," says the press release.
