"An icon remembered in death as vividly as she appeared in life, Diana, Princess of Wales, is one of the enduring personalities of the twentieth century - and one of the most enigmatic. Admired, even worshipped cultishly, a forceful presence in society and fashion and a devoted mother, she was also plagued by rumor, innuendo and scandal throughout her brief life. Using exclusive new interviews and eyewitness testimonies, Sarah Bradford now casts aside the gossip and lies, taking us to the very heart of the royal family to separate the myth from the truth of the Diana era. Diana follows the old-fashioned courtship that saw her captivate the Prince of Wales, as the world began aiming their cameras at the entrancing princess-bride. The unworldly teenager soon transformed into an emotionally demanding, but adoring, wife and mother who had to contend with the ever-present specter of Camilla Parker Bowles. Drawing on fresh interviews with those close to Diana, some of whom have never spoken on record before, Bradford sheds new light on the eventual collapse of a doomed marriage once hailed as the ultimate fairy tale. She examines Diana's lovers and her relationships with her staff, friends and family, as well as her children, husband and the royal family. She also charts Diana's profound commitment to her charities and her genuine sense of empathy for those around her. Finally, she documents Diana's struggle to find an identity after the separation from Charles, her final complicated year as a single woman and the world's overwhelming reaction to her death.Sympathetic but clear-eyed, with the authority missing from all previous accounts, acclaimed royal biographer Sarah Bradford delivers a complex and stunning study of one of the most popular figures of the twentieth century." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
