Description
Reissued and newly expanded, this classic account presents a rare, intimate portrait of Princess Diana drawn from her own taped interviews—now complemented by never-before-published material. Guided by Andrew Morton’s fresh introduction, the book revisits the extraordinary circumstances that shaped the original publication and the enduring public fascination with Diana’s voice. Through candid reflections and carefully preserved moments, it explores themes of identity, vulnerability, media scrutiny, and the search for meaning amid relentless pressure. Written with Morton’s signature blend of narrative clarity and emotional immediacy, this is both a historical document and a deeply human story that continues to resonate.

diana's story is uniquely interesting and complex and andrew morton is a great journalist (as well as commentator in documentaries), but it crosses my mind now that i don't think he's a great author. i found the way he wrote this to be often repetitive and packed with names of people who were hardly relevant. it all felt very much like snippet writing, hoping each line would headline a newspaper. this edition was interesting having so much additional text in retrospect considering her death, william's marriage, and harry having just started to date meghan. but i found myself wishing it was even more recent to include the demise of andrew, harry and meghan's marriage, meghan's diana-esque media treatment and her and harry's subsequent joint departure from the RF, the queen's death, and charles's ascension. if a newer edition comes out, i would recommend that one even without having read it.
