The royal family receives information about Diana's weekend getaway in Paris with Dodi, intensifying pressure on the British government over its persistent denial of citizenship to Mohamed. Mohamed orchestrates the capture of photographs showing Diana and Dodi in a kiss, sparking a bidding war among newspapers. Both the Queen and Diana receive warnings about the impending publication of these photographs.
Prior to the media storm, Diana bids farewell to William and Harry, who head to Balmoral Castle to spend time with Prince Charles. She then travels to Bosnia to support the Landmine Survivors Network charity, but her efforts are eclipsed by the release of the controversial photographs. Mark Bolland, Charles's public relations adviser, informs him that Dodi is facing a lawsuit from his fiancée for breach of contract, encouraging Charles to counter with his own set of photographs featuring William and Harry spending time together at Balmoral.
Meanwhile, the Queen discusses Diana's unpredictable behavior with Prince Philip. Despite the unfolding controversies, Diana seeks solace by retreating to the south of France with Dodi.
