A documentary depicting the final hours in the life of the Princess of Wales that raised outrage when it was shown in Britain will air on CBC, but without the photographs that caused the greatest controversy. Princes Harry and William, Diana's sons, begged the U.K.'s Channel 4 not to air the documentary, Diana: The Witnesses in the Tunnel which features photos taken by paparazzi during the last minutes of her life. However, Channel 4 aired the documentary earlier this year despite objections by the Royal family. Particularly controversial was a photo by a French photographer showing Diana being given oxygen by paramedics and another that showed all the occupants of the car immediately after the crash that killed both the Princess of Wales and her companion, Dodi Al Fayed. The CBC issued a news release saying the photos in question will not be featured in the Canadian broadcast due to lawsuits by the photographers over the use of their work. The copy of The Witnesses in the Tunnel CBC received has already had the photos edited out, a CBC spokesman said. The premise of the documentary produced and directed by Janice Sutherland and Stuart Tanner is that it is the story of the photographers who were taking pictures of Diana on the night of her death. It examines what role they might have played in contributing to her death and what happened to photographers arrested at the scene of the crash, which is approaching its 10th anniversary. Both Royal watchers and government representatives were critical of the U.K.'s Channel 4 for showing photographs that they felt were distressing and in poor taste. CBC plans to air the documentary on Monday, Sept. 3, at 10 p.m. on the Passionate Eye. It is one of three documentaries about the princess to be shown on CBC to mark the decade that has passed since Diana's death on Aug. 31, 1997. CBC also will air Who Killed Diana on Sept. 1, and Princess Diana: Her Life in Jewels on Sept. 2.
