This documentary takes the occasion of her 40th birthday to trawl back through her life, including detailing her strained relationship with father. The commentators weigh up her and Harry’s decision to relocate to the US, as well as debating her legacy on the royal institution and her role as a mother. Ammar Kalia

The focus is on Jacob and Tina’s relationship this week, after several suggestions that she might be dangerous as well as annoying.

Film choice

Lady Bird, 10.30pm, BBC One

Greta Gerwig’s feature debut as director (she also wrote it) is a poignant, big-hearted and hilarious rites-of-passage story starring the superb Saoirse Ronan as the titular Sacramento teen and Laurie Metcalf as her mother.
