The late Princess of Wales remains a cornerstone of queer culture 25 years

after her death for many reasons, not least her genuinely trailblazing HIV and AIDS activism.

Her story is one that’s been pulled apart and retold countless times

with varying degrees of historical accuracy and success.

One of the latest, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story,

does away with the history books entirely, creating a play that’s as “queer as possible”.

“What we’re doing is no different to The Crown,

except it’s better because it’s queer,”

Linus Karp tells PinkNews ahead of his new play opening.

“So if you want serious and cinematic watch The Crown, sure.

Or if you want to have fun with it and know this definitely didn’t happen but this is how the gays would want it, that’s us.”
