Diana: The Musical trailer released by Netflix
Netflix’s ‘Diana: A True Musical Story’ sees Jeanna de Waal play the late Princess of Wales. Ms de Waal grew up in Solihull before making her name on Broadway - and previously worked as a waitress in London.
It was in this role that she met Prince Harry as she served him champagne.
The Duke of Sussex called it a night at 5am, with the waitress saying he had a “great time”.
She said: “This one time, I got asked to do a gig where the princes were attending and I was personally in charge of making sure Harry’s champagne glass was always topped up.
“My memories of it are that he and his girlfriend at the time were the last on the dancefloor. We were trying to clear the tables up at 5am and he was having a great time.”
Speaking to PeopleTV, Ms de Waal said she wanted to invite Harry and William to see the musical.
But she understands it “might be very upsetting for them” to relive the narrative.
In 2020, she told The Daily Beast the production was “done with tact” and that the cast was “trying to portray a human story”.
She added: “I feel such a responsibility to Diana - she’s so present and in the zeitgeist.”

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Washington Post that, in his opinion, the trailer “had a synthetic look as though it was a piece of merchandise, with Diana’s face on it.”
Journalist Rebecca Reid labelled the trailer “the worst thing I’ve ever seen”.
