Only the people themselves vary, each rebelling against and taking up their royal duties in unique ways - from King Charles III’s shocking dalliance with Camilla Queen Consort, to Prince Harry and Prince William’s long-rumored feud, and, of course, the bombshell to the firm that was Meghan Markle.Īt royal appearances, it’s all smiles and curtsies. So if you are looking for something new then you will be disappointed but if you want to revisit a lovely lady taken too soon some twenty years ago then, perhaps, this may be for you.At the heart of what makes all royal bios so compelling is the sense of pulling back the curtain and really getting to know the people carrying out these same traditions year in and year out. This book would not work with someone who was bubbly and jumping off the page. Michael Maloney's performance is perfect as he has, like Morton a flat affect.

She definitely could turn anyone speechless. Of course England is a small country and many of us had an opportunity to meet her. He turned Diana into some type of saint which I feel is unfortunate as she was, like all of us, most flawed. I feel that he loves to write only 'the good' in order that he can curry favor and influence with those people of influence that he writes about. Andrew Morton does tend to accommodate the 'whims' of those that he is make the primary subject of his projects. This new version is much the same as the 1992 original with addition of a commentary in Diana's words performed beautifully by Caroline Langrishe. Diana: Her True Story - in Her Own Words is the closest we will ever come to her autobiography. In this fully revised edition of his groundbreaking biography, Morton considers Diana's legacy and her relevance to the modern royal family.Īn icon in life and a legend in death, Diana continues to fascinate. Now, 25 years on, biographer Andrew Morton has revisited the secret tapes he and the late princess made to reveal startling new insights into her life and mind. Never before had a senior royal spoken in such a raw, unfiltered way about her unhappy marriage, her relationship with the queen, her extraordinary life inside the House of Windsor, her hopes, her fears, and her dreams. Greeted initially with disbelief and ridicule, the number-one New York Times best-selling biography has become a unique literary classic, not just because of its explosive contents but also because of Diana's intimate involvement in the publication.
When Diana: Her True Story - in Her Own Words was first published in 1992, it forever changed the way the public viewed the British monarchy. The sensational biography of Princess Diana, now revised to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her death.
