Its pages contain her own testament - the closest we will ever come to her autobiography." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. What's more, Diana is able, finally, to tell her own story, in her own words. This new edition contains the story of how the book first came into being. Tragically, that new, and briefly happy, life is over. And so she and Andrew Morton began a collaboration that was to shake the royal family to its foundations and, eventually, force Diana to seek a new life. In an act of desperation, she made the decision in 1991 to tell her own story, no matter what the cost. Diana: Her True Story chronicles Diana's unhappiness, which began shortly before her wedding day, and reveals the life of a young and beautiful woman who, trapped in a loveless marriage, had sunk to the depths of despair, from which recovery seemed impossible. She knew that the truth about her life was submerged under a mountain of royal propaganda. In 19, when this book was first conceived and written, Diana felt trapped and powerless within the royal family. What has not been known, however, until the publication of this new edition, is that Diana: Her True Story was in fact almost entirely based on her own words, supplemented by interviews with her friends.
As time passed, however, the magnitude of Diana's marital and personal distress made it clear, even to the greatest doubters, that this book was indeed Diana's true story and finally, in 1995, she revealed in a BBC interview that she had indirectly cooperated with Andrew Morton. When Diana: Her True Story was initially published in 1992, it was met with a hail of abuse from the British Establishment. In the last few years, Diana's dedication to the downtrodden and unloved and her commitment as a mother have only strengthened her hold on our hearts. From her fairy-tale courtship, her wedding to Prince Charles, and the birth of her two wonderful boys to the stunning collapse of her marriage and the revelation of her psychological and physical trauma, we witnessed and shared in the wide range of emotions in her life.
