Peter Settelen (born 23 September 1951) is a British actor and voice coach, known for helping Princess Diana (1961–1997) improve her public speaking skills.

Early life

Settelen was born in London. He worked as an actor, including a role in three episodes of the soap opera Coronation Street, and in an episode of Thriller (1975), before becoming a voice coach.[1]

Princess Diana (1961–1997)

He was commissioned between 1992 and 1993 to help Princess Diana develop her public speaking voice,[2] having been introduced to her by her personal fitness instructor, Carolan Brown.[1] Settelen videotaped Diana talking about her private life.[2][3] Following her death in 1997, the tapes were seized by the Metropolitan Police in a 2001 raid on the home of Diana's butler, Paul Burrell.[2] Ownership of the tapes was contested by her brother, Lord Charles Spencer, but they were returned to Settelen in 2004.[2] Extracts from the tapes were screened by American broadcaster NBC later the same year, in a programme called Diana Revealed.[1][2] In August 2017, extracts from the tapes were screened by Channel 4 television.[2][4]
