Description
There have been hundreds of books published about the Princess of Wales. They are made up of gossip, the little-tattle of disaffected seroants and conjecture.
They qre illustrated by photographs of formal occasions and paparazzi shots. DIANA: HER TRUE STORY is just what its title claims; it is based on facts which are published here for the first time. Its illustrations are private photographs which have been made available only for this book. It contains a story which will be front-page news all over the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales is probably the best-loved and most admired woman in the world. After her marriage to Prince Charles she blossomed into one of the world’s great beauties while at the same time she was raising a young family and attending to a long list of charities. Her world seemed perfect, but behind
the image of perfection lay a disturbing truth: in DIANA: HER TRUE STORY we learn that her marriage to Prince Charles has been unhappy from the very beginning. Indeed, Diana has described her wedding day as the ‘most emo- tionally confusing day’ of her life. Doubts about her marriage led to chronic illness which Diana suffered for many years, unknown to the public who saw only the smiling, elegant image. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Diana has had to create a new life for herself and this she has done with great courage. In addition to being a most loving and attentive mother, she has used her prominent position to help thousands of people in need. Her controversial and tireless support of AIDS victims is just one example of how she has thrown herself into her work.
DlANA: HER TRUE STORY is a unique royal biography. In his research, Andrew Morton has had the support of members of Dianas family and of her clos-
est friends all of whom have spoken freely of Diana’s life, her problems and how she has tried to solve them. The book also includes dozens of photographs which have never been published previously. They include snapshots of the teenage Diana whose great loves were dancing, swimming and diving. More recent photographs include intimate pictures taken by her friends which show a happy and confident young woman who has found her role in the world.
DIANA: HER TRUE STORY is a shocking book because it tells the truth. It tells the story of a girl who became a princess before she became a woman and the story of a woman who found herself through adversity.
