Summary: The real Diana at last
Review: Diana's authorized, however covertly, biography finally tells the truth about this remarkable human being from her own lips. Morton's frank, honest telling of the grief behind the glitz shows us a very vulnerable woman who isn't all that different from the rest of us. Diana, young girl, schoolteacher, princess, wife and mother should have been embraced by the royal family instead of frozen out. One can only hope that her sons will follow the trail she fought so hard to blaze for them and live real lives instead of rigid imitations. The world is a poorer place without the people's princess.

Summary: NO PREDICTIONS OF IMPENDING DEATH HERE
Review: Now that she is gone and the word is out that Diana did cooperate with the telling of this story the book is all the more interesting. Having never read a book about Diana, I found this to be very informative and tragic. Diana appears to have been a very misunderstood and lonely person, caught up in circumstances she had no control over. You just want to reach into her life and comfort her. Prince Charles was clearly the villain in the relationship as much of his behavior has been confirmed in the media since her death. His refusal to discontinue his relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles speaks for itself. How anyone could pick CPB over Diana in unfathomable. What was never addressed was what Andrew Parker-Bowles thought about the relationship between his wife and Prince Charles. Both Camilla and Charles denied there was a relationship. What a crock. The book provides a great back-story to Princess Diana's untimely death. But there is no prediction about an impending car accident as Diana's Butler Paul Burrell now claims. However she did make a haunting prediction in 1992 on page 220 that did come true, "I am performing a duty as the Princess of Wales ... but I don't see it any longer than 15 years." A good introduction to someone who knows nothing about Diana.

Summary: The book that ended it all
Review: This was the book that put the nail in the coffin of the Waleses marriage in 1992. Charles and Diana tried to make a P.R. show of togetherness on an overseas trip shortly after the book's publication and failed miserably. In December of that year, now-former P.M. John Major announced their separation in the House of Commons. This is an interesting read on the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and about as close as anyone ever got to writing an authorized biography of her life. Only a few years after her death was it revealed that Diana, indeed, made audiotape interviews of herself spilling the Windsor's secrets and passed them to Morton through a third party (so he could never say he interviewed her). The pictures are very interesting and the information on the state of Charles's and Diana's marriage were indeed juicy. A great read.
