HERE'S a new angle on Princess Diana's life that hadn't been done
yet - a pay-per-view TV séance to conjure up her "spirit."
And hosted by ex-"Avengers" star Patrick Macnee, no
less.
"The Spirit of Diana," will cost curious viewers
$14.95 and will feature psychics, "spiritual intimates" and
others trying to contact the otherworldly spirit of the late
princess, killed in a Paris car crash in August 1997.
The show - which airs March 9 - includes live seances and
interviews with, among others, the father of her boyfriend, Dodi
al-Fayed, and Andrew Morton, who wrote the bestseller, "Diana: Her
True Story in Her Own Words."
"Princess Diana asked me to tell the world about the real
Princess Diana and not the person portrayed to the world," says
Oonagh Shanley-Toffolo, described as England's "premier healer and
spiritual intimate of the Princess." (She's also a former nun and
was the Duke of Windsor's private nurse just before he died.)
The 90-minute broadcast will originate in London, with the live
seances featuring psychics "who had regular and sometimes daily
contact with the Princess," according to press materials.
Those psychics include Shanley-Toffolo, Craig and Jane
Hamilton-Parker, Patricia Bankins and Penny Thornton.
"People who see our special will discover a whole new side of the
great lady and the seances may provide yet more revelations about
her and the royal entourage," says Paul Sharratt, who's directing
the PPV special for Starcast Productions.
Among the questions the psychics are hoping to answer: Was Diana
really in love with Dodi? Was she pregnant when she died? Does she
have anything more to say to her loved ones?
The one-time-only TV "event" is being distributed by Associated
Television International via iN DEMAND.
So what is Macnee's connection to Diana?
"He first met Princess Diana at the royal premiere of 'A View to
a Kill,' the James Bond thriller in which he co-starred," says the
press release.
