Diana, Princess of Wales, captured the hearts and imaginations of the world. Here Anne Edwards reveals new details of her life set against the intrigue and history of her centuries-old, idiosyncratic family - the Spencers.
Diana's story is one of a young woman's search for love; of aristocratic family commitment, and of a betrayal, historic in its outcome. Her life was short, her death tragic, but both remind us that contemporary heroines do exist and can emerge out of controversy, personal pain and public exposure through boundless courage.
This reads like a thriller at times, but it is the personal story of its subject that will enthral and capture how one proudly defiant woman changed the course of Britain's monarchy and touched the lives of millions world-wide.
