The tragic echoes: How actress Naomi Watts recreates the final tumultuous years of Princes Diana's life

Later this month, 16 years after her death in a Paris underpass car smash, a film about Princess Diana will be premiered in London, called Caught In Flight, The Daily Mail reported.

It is about the last two years of the princess’ life.

Any actress called on to recreate the magic of Diana has a tough job, but the evidence of these pictures shows that Australian actress Naomi Watts has uncannily captured the style and essence of just what made Diana the most famous woman in the world.

And yet those last two years were a defining period, giving the world a glimpse not only of the substantial and influential woman that she could have been, but also the depth of her fragility.
 

Two key figures feature in those two years. One is Hasnat Khan, the heart surgeon with whom she fell in love and was even prepared to live with in Pakistan, if it came to that.


The other, when she had lost Khan, was Dodi Fayed, with whom she found fun and romance and with whom she subsequently died.
