Book Overview
When Princess Diana died in August 1997, the world mourned for a woman they felt they had come to know intimately; having witnessed the quiet, blushing Lady Diana Spencer transform into an elegant, stylish ambassador who tirelessly campaigned for the causes in which she believed. With the announcement of her untimely death came an unprecedented wave of collective grieving. In this revealing book, royal expert Judy Wade uncovers the woman behind the public's princess, speaking to some of Diana's closest friends and confidantes to reveal the truth about her. They journey inside her Kensington Palace apartment and describe how she cleaned her own bath and nagged her sons to improve their manners, just like any other mom. They reveal her secret plan to marry a man who shared her desire to help the sick and suffering, her violent row with Dodi Fayed just before they died, and the real reason she went on a last mission to Australia. Diana's manipulation of the media following her expulsion from the royal family is also examined, as well as the police investigation into her death, and the impact that her death had on the monarchy. This is a fascinating look at a woman who was many things to many different people.

Wonderful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I don't agree with Deidre's opinion. This book is wonderful. I can't imagine why "Deidre" is so bitter person and said a lot of nonsense about Diana. Diana was unhappy with Prince Charles and she deserved to be happy. No matter if she had many affairs. The most important at all is that she had helped too many people all around the world and she made the difference for them. She sold many of her dresses to help people with AIDS,she had raised a lot of money to people in need. Princess Diana made what many people have never done before. "Deidre" opion about Diana don't have to be take into consideration. It's really sad to know that there's people like "Deidre" in this world. "Deidre" should have keep what she thinks about Diana to herself.

This is an enjoyable, light fluffy read on her life. I did not really learn anything new about Diana...and it was nice to revisit Diana...in the moment...through the stories with people who knew her right before she died.
