Princess Diana musical 'will exclude William and Harry from script'

A controversial musical about the life of Princess Diana has reportedly left four key people out of the script.

Princes William and Harry and the Queen will not feature in the plot, according to reports.

Dodi Fayed is also believed to have been excluded by producers, and Prince Charles' appearance will be brief during a scene from their wedding day.

Producers of Call Me Diana have reportedly reassured the royal family the production will be a celebration of the late Princess's life.

Show bosses have insisted it will not re-enact her 1997 tragic death in a car crash but will use news reports to set the narrative.

Brian Watson, one of the driving forces behind the show, told The Sun : "The conspiracy theory thing is not relevant to the musical.

"One of the parameters we set ourselves while writing this was we want a show about Diana that will not upset her sons.

"If they said, ‘We would like to see this’, we would be delighted."

The first showcase of Call Me Diana will be in London’s West End this September.

Diana is being played by Welsh hairdresser Natasha John, who appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.

Her battle with bulimia will also be covered.

The producer said they wanted the show to be a 'real tribute'.
