Trivia
Lady Diana Spencer was played by Catherine Oxenberg. In reality, Oxenberg is a blood relative of the British Royal Family: her mother, Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia, is the second cousin of King Charles III as Princess Elizabeth's mother Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark was the first cousin of King Charles' father Prince Philip.

Quotes
Lady Diana Spencer: [following an attempt on the lives of members of the Royal Family] Your Majesty, you can't! You can't go out to the balcony.
Queen Elizabeth II: Diana, We see your concern for Our safety. But you must understand that so long as We reign, We must separate Our personal self from Our position. As a woman, you or I might choose to stay behind in the safety of this room. But as the Royal Family, we have no choice but to go forward and to face our people. Because you see, my Dear, we are the people. Do you understand?

I'd forgotten about this movie until it turned up on TV recently...

It mainly gets the stars for it's cast from the golden era of Hollywood and because it's a fun time capsule. The movie deals with the "romance" before Charles and Diana get married. Note the date - this was before the whole controversy over Camilla so this was back in the days people thought Charles and Diana were a romantic love story. For people who were around and remember the whole media frenzy surrounding the Charles/Diana wedding it's a fun time capsule and the acting was decent in it. Catherine Oxenberg did one of the best jobs playing Diana that I have seen. Diana gave her approval for this film to be made so that could be why. They intersperse footage of the actual wedding with the actors from the movie.
