Diana Vs. Charles: Royal Blood Feud

Rating:
Summary: A great book from one who was there from the beginning
Review: I read this book in the fall of 1997 and just recently looked at it again when rearranging book shelves. Was so surprised to see that no one had reviewed it before!

Whitaker had observed Charles and Diana for years and he comes to insightful conclusions about the self-centeredness of Charles such as "... it never occurred to him that maybe his life should alter when he married." and "For the first time in his life he was upstaged and...he did not like what was happening." Diana didn't stand a chance against the men in grey or the ever present Camilla.

This was published in 1993 before the sad ending to Diana's life. I recommend it highly to anyone who wants the view of a working journalist. Coverage of the Royal family was excessive during the Diana years, and I'll admit I read almost everything about her, but I believe this a very balanced view of the sad situation that the Royal family is in. They are outdated and unnecessary.
