Drive has secured a number of presales from broadcasters around the world for an as-yet-untitled documentary focused on the life and work of Diana, Princess of Wales.

The film was prebought by Channel 7 in Australia, Three New Zealand, CBC in Canada, NRK in Norway, TV 2 in Denmark and YLE in Finland. The Oxford Film and Television production features interviews with The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, as well as other family members and friends of the late royal figure.

HBO Documentary Films already picked up the U.S. broadcast rights for the doc, which is being produced for ITV in the U.K. Advanced negotiations are also taking place in several other territories.

Ben Barrett, joint managing director of Drive, stated: “The response from international broadcast partners has been phenomenal as one might expect. We look forward to announcing more broadcast partners for this landmark film in the weeks ahead.”
