Diana

Więcej o książce

The 1992 publication of Andrew Morton's bestseller shook the British royal family. It revealed that Prince Charles had a long-term affair, that his marriage to Diana was a sham, and that she struggled with an eating disorder and suicidal thoughts. Initially met with disbelief, the book's claims gained credibility when the couple announced their separation in December 1992, followed by Charles's televised admission of infidelity. Diana's friends hoped this separation would allow her to find happiness, but her situation became increasingly isolating, with her children only occasionally by her side. The narrative explores the secret battles behind closed doors and Diana's frustration as she seeks to break free from her constrained royal existence. With unprecedented access to Diana's closest friends and advisers, Morton reveals how she is learning to assert her identity beyond being a royal figure. He delves into the infighting and intrigue surrounding this royal crisis, as well as Diana's private thoughts on her public retirement, potential remarriage, and her role in preparing Prince William for his future. Illustrated with 32 pages of striking color photographs, this account offers an explosive look at the struggles of one of the most iconic figures in modern history.
