Newsweek was the first to ask the question of what would Princess Diana's life would be like on her 50th birthday. Now we'll get a full hour-long special on the subject from ReelzChannel, called 'Princess Diana at 50,' which premiered Saturday, hosted by former 'Extra' anchor Dayna Devon. Devon appeared on 'Good Day LA' (weekdays, 9AM PT on Fox) to give her perspective on the subject.Devon spoke about Diana's butler, Paul Burrel, and what he felt when he had to secure the room that contained Diana's body shortly after her death. "The fan was blowing, and he calls it her fringe," said Devon, "I think her bangs were blowing, and he was in total denial. He was like, 'Diana, get up. Come on, get up, honey. This is not funny."
She also said that the special does not put Diana "completely up on a pedestal," instead trying to show who she was and would have been. "It wasn't so much about her death, which we definitely touch on, it was about who she would have been today," she said. "And I really think she would have been even more comfortable, she was really gaining her momentum."
