Description

Ten years after her death, Princess Diana remains a mystery. Was she "the people's princess", who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she a manipulative, media-savvy neurotic who nearly brought down the monarchy?

Only Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Tatler, England's glossiest gossip magazine, as well as Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, could possibly give us the truth. Tina knew Diana personally and has far-reaching insight into the royals and the Queen.

In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them. Among them are Diana's sexually charged mother, her bad-girl sister-in-law, Fergie, and, most formidable of them all, her mother-in-law, the Queen. Add Camilla Parker Bowles, the ultimate "other woman", into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

Loved this book

Refreshing perspective
Sad Tale of a beautiful princess.
I hope the author one day includes the recent discoveries (Disclosed by William) of how Diana was both manipulated to do the interview and believe she was in grave danger.

very well written and performed.

an intelligent analysis of Diana's personal story as well as her cultural influence. I was struggling to find a biography of hers that isn't all just about gossip and scandal, or a propaganda strictly for or against her. This book presents a good view and the perspectives of all people involved from their individual standpoints, as well as how things appeared to the public through the filter of mass media. It provides a contexts to the choices that Diana and the people whom she was involved with made. A fascinating read for anyone who is interested in a remarkable life story, a study of monarchy in a modern age or the evolution of our western culture into the mass media age. It seems especially relevant now not only because of the shenanigans that Diana's son and his wife are up to, but also because Diana's handling of her own image provides and insight into the "victimhood glorification" culture we seem to sink into in recent years. Since she first appeared in the media Diana's life , death and legacy have all been a key element in how our society evolved through mass communication. Years from now, I'm sure, we will look back and recognize that her life and relationship with the media as well as the public have made a much more profound and long lasting impact than what we recognize today.
