I think the whole content of the documentary should be viewed and edited, any actual shots of the princess should not be shown. I dont really give a damn about the Royal Family or their affairs but we have to consider the moral issues at hand here and respect the families of the princess right to privacy and not to have pictures of her screened on a PSB.
