Hello. All door panels are attached with clips that attach to the back of the panel and then get inserted into holes in the door frame. These clips are usually plastic and rather delicate. They often break when you try to remove the panel; but the good news is that they are common items available at most auto parts and auto body/paint supply store.
Begin by checking the panel and the door handle area for screws. Remove all of the screws paying close attention to which screw goes in each hole. One safe way to do this is to tape each screw to a piece of cardboard and label each one. Once any screws are removed, use a putty knife to pry the panel up. Slide the blade between the frame and the panel and gently lift up working your way around the panel and freeing up the clips as they become accessible to you. Regards, Joe

Thanks for your help. I've removed door panels before from Volkswagens and an Alfa Romeo GTV, so I know the basics, but I was wondering if I could get some help specifically about the Jaguar, like where any screws are. Often they are covered with plastic plugs. Is there a way you know to get those off without damaging them?
