Last week would have been her 55th birthday but a new documentary promises to show us a part of Princess Diana’s we didn’t know much about.

Princess Diana: Behind Closed Doors will reveal what Diana’s life was like before she became a royal.
In a sneak peek of the documentary shown in the video below, Mary Robertson recalls hiring Diana as a nanny and talking about a trip the soon-to-be princess took to Balmoral castle, the royal family’s Scottish getaway.
Robertson remembered asking the then-19-year-old if she’d met Prince Andrew (Prince Charles’ younger brother).
“‘No, it was actually Charles, but his mother invited me,’” Robertson remembered Diana saying. “And I just burst out laughing at the thought of her referring to the Queen of England as a friend’s mother.”

As Robertson tells it, Diana didn’t think much would come from that fateful meeting.
“I did say, ‘Oh, my gosh. Do you think anything’s going to develop?”
“And very regretfully, you know, staring down at the floor, she said, ‘No, I don’t think he’d look twice at me. After all, he’s 31 and I’m only 19.’”
“I said, ‘I wouldn’t be too sure,’” Robertson said.
The documentary airs on Sunday 9pm (US ET time) on Reelz.
