Behind the scenes

 * Diana has been portrayed by Julie Cox in Princess in Love, Michelle Duncan in Whatever Love Means and Katie Brayben in King Charles III.
 * In the real world, Diana died on 31 August 1997, just less than four months following her potential appearance in The Dying Days.
 * In the days following Diana's death, UK television schedules were altered to omit programming that depicted either princesses dying, or road accidents (as Diana had died in a car collision). Included in this purge was a planned UK Gold repeat of The Armageddon Factor, due it depicting the temporary "death" of Astra of Atrios. Planet of the Spiders was shown in its place.
