内容简介 在线阅读本书

The sudden and tragic death of Princess Diana caused the world to reflect on how much this singular woman meant to us all. This new edition of her life story -- which includes Diana's personal recollections in her own words, as well as an account of the events surrounding her death -- poignantly strengthens her hold on our hearts.

From her fairy-tale wedding and the births of her two wonderful boys to the stunning collapse of her marriage, Diana's luminous but troubled life transfixed millions. Despite enduring heartbreak, illness, and depression, she never wavered in her commitment to the less fortunate, or in her determination to make a better life for herself and her sons. This revealing book is the closest we will ever come to her autobiography -- a lasting and powerful testament to her courage and spirit.


作者简介 Andrew Morton, described by the Sunday Times (London) as "the leading royal writer," has become a household name as a result of the publication of Diana: Her True Story. He is the author of several bestselling books and has won numerous awards, including Author of the Year and a special prize for services to journalism. He is a familiar figure on television around the world. He lives in London with his wife and two daughters.

Diana: Her True Story was originally published in 1992 under the guise of a quasi-authorized biography, with mostly unnamed courtiers and royalty as the accredited sources. It instantly became a sizzling, international bestseller that lanced the boil of Windsor family dysfunction, triggering a chain of events that led to Charles and Diana's divorce. After her tragic death in 1997, Andrew Morton revealed that Diana herself had not only been the main source for the book, but had also edited his original drafts for accuracy. In return for this gold mine of information, Diana wanted complete anonymity for fear of retaliation from the queen. Her True Story in Her Own Words is enhanced by more than 75 full-color photographs of the princess, from her childhood in Althorp to her marriage to Charles at Westminster Abbey to her humanitarian efforts, and finally to her unforgettable funeral service. However, the most poignant portrayal of the princess emerges from the unedited transcriptions of Diana's interviews with Morton: "I think I'm going to cut a very different path from everyone else. I'm going to break away from this setup and go and help the man on the street." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
Chicago Tribune

Diana, in her own words, comes across as perceptive, obsessive, funny, sad, shrewd, prophetic...and, above all, human, achingly human.



People

The book that rocked Britain....startlingly candid.



The Star-Ledger (Newark, NJ)

It is chilling to read the accounts of Charles' long affair with Camilla in Diana's own words....This new version provides valuable insight into a complicated woman fast becoming an icon, and we're lucky to have it.



Newsweek

Vivid scenes from a marriage gone awry.



The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)

Eighteen thousand poignant and acid-tipped words from Diana herself. There are many revealing nuggets in the tapes, which form a new front section of the book. The most sensational involve Diana's account of the relationship between Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles.



USA Today

The Royal fairy tale is shattered.



New York Post

A bombshell book.
