* ToughActToFollow: In 2023, the film became this to the first four episodes of the sixth series of ''[[Series/TheCrown2016 The Crown]]'', which dealt with exactly the same time period (that show's overt emphasis on Diana may well have been due to her not having appeared in this film, except in archive footage).

Added DiffLines:

* HilariousInHindsight: Prince Philip derides the public for "sleeping in the streets for someone they never knew" regarding their hysteria over Diana's death. 25 years later the public essentially did the same thing for Queen Elizabeth when she passed away, with over ''250,000'' people standing in line for ''hours'' to pay their respects during the 5 days that she lay in state at Westminster Hall, as well as lining up along the route of her several funeral processions, many of whom indeed admitted to having spent the night out there in order to get a good viewing spot.

* HarsherInHindsight: After Queen UsefulNotes/ElizabethII passed away on September 8th 2022 (just a few days after the 25th anniversary of UsefulNotes/{{Diana|Princess of Wales}}'s). ''Now'' the scene with the stag takes on a more heartbreaking tone. What's more, she died at Balmoral, the very place Charles and the boys were vacationing when Diana died.

* HilariousInHindsight: When the Queen visits Diana's public memorial, the camera lingers on a poster that says "They do not deserve you." Flash-forward to over ten years later, where [[Film/WonderWoman2017 another well-known film]] features the line "Be careful, Diana. They do not deserve you."

* ValuesDissonance: Though the movie premiered at a time when Diana's fond memory was still very much apparent, younger viewers not as familiar with Princess Diana and her legacy who watch the film years later may end up agreeing with [[JerkAssHasAPoint Prince Philip]] in that hordes of citizens with absolutely no relationship with the deceased showing extreme public grief was bewildering or nonsensical at best and embarrassing at worst --- something that sons William and Harry would also admit to feeling decades after her death.

** A bit of FridgeBrilliance for the stag meant to represent Princess Diana, who shares her name with the Roman goddess of the night. The animal most commonly associated with the goddess Diana is the deer.

** Could be a case of EpilepticTrees as according to the DVDCommentary, the writer suggests that he meant for the stag to represent the Queen herself (that the stag made it to fourteen points suggests it was lucky to have survived for such a long time). Most people naturally assume that it's Diana, hunted and then killed.

* HumourDissonance: The writer and director discuss this on the DVDCommentary. Having watched the film alongside audiences in Britain, America and Vienna, they were fascinated by the fact that only some nationalities found jokes that had been deliberately inserted into the script as funny, whilst others were laughing at things that were meant to be serious (such as the Americans laughing at the Prime Minister eating fish-fingers or footage of celebrities turning up at Diana's funeral).
