Princess Diana Bodyguard, Two other Diana ­biopics are in pre-production with Keira Knightley and Jessica Chastain, Princess Diana at Thorpe Park in 1992 with Police Bodyguard Ken Wharfe  Princess Diana’s life is ­being made into an Iron Lady-style ­blockbuster based on her bodyguard’s ­memoirs.

BAFTA-winning British film ­producer Stephen Evans wants to show the world “the real Diana” in the years leading up to her divorce from Prince Charles. He is lining up a Hollywood actress to play her.

The £30million film, out next year, will be told from the point of view of bodyguard Ken Wharfe and is based on his controversial 2007 book Diana: Closely Guarded Secret.

Evans, who hopes to emulate the success of hit The Iron Lady, about former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher, has been working with the late princess’s private secretary, Commander Patrick ­Jephson.

The plot will follow the years before Diana’s 1996 divorce.

But it will not cover her ­relationship with Dodi Fayed or conspiracy theories about her death in a Paris car crash in 1997.

It is expected to show how close Diana became to Wharfe. She ­trusted him to look after her young sons, Princes William and Harry, who called him “Uncle Ken”.
