This is enormous fun. Many of the lyrics are absolutely absurd, but that just adds to the enjoyment. What's not to love about the Queen singing about being "An Officer's Wife"? Or rhymes such as "Harry, my ginger-haired son/You'll always be second to none".

The costumes are particularly spectacular, with Jeanna de Waal looking eerily like Diana in several scenes. The singing from all the cast is highly professional throughout.

The final scene when Diana walks away into the darkness with only flashbulbs breaking up the blackness is quite a poignant moment.

I loved this. It's very watchable. It's a musical, after all, not a serious documentary.
