Insiders have come forward to shed light on the sheer pain Princess Diana was forced to undergo when attempting to break the Firm’s unspoken rule regarding bedtimes.
The royal family is extremely strict over matters of etiquettes and manners. While some of the Queen’s rules are legal and binding, others are more-so echoed in halls.
One of the rules whispered in hushed corridors of the royal family is bedtimes for full-time royals. According to a former Private Secretary of Queen Elizabeth, Sir William Heseltine, Princess Diana suffered greatly due to this rule.

The Duke of Edinburgh was perceived as a modernising influence on the monarchy during the Queen’s first few decades on the throne. When the Royal Family’s popularity began to wane in the Sixties as more of the public began to question the relevance of the ancient institution, Philip was quick to act. However, his decision to give the go-ahead to the Royal Family documentary was widely condemned when the programme aired in 1969.
The Royal Family - The Documentary the Queen tried to silence is back
Recently a film that has been lost for over 40 years popped up on the web, and its caused quite a stir amongst the British establishment.
Back in 1969 the BBC and the Royal Family got together and decided on collaborating on a behind the scenes style documentary on the lives of the Royals. Showing their work in the Palace and duties as representatives of the British state in great detail. It was a major success attracting 30 million viewers, however it also caused the Queen to panic and use her powers and connections at the BBC to have the film suppressed and stored in the royal archives, it was taken off the air in 1972 and since then the only way to see the film was to get permission from the royal family (well their staff manning the office) effectively consigning the film to obscurity. Until this month when it was leaked onto the web.
