How Princess Diana has been portrayed on stage and in film

Diana: The Musical will be available on Netflix on 1 October, more than two months before its scheduled Broadway opening on 16 December.

The musical, which follows Diana from a young bride through her marriage to Prince Charles, was in previews when New York's theatres closed last year.

A performance of the show - whose music was written by Bon Jovi keyboard player David Bryan - was captured on camera during the shutdown.
