"The best book on Diana." --The New Yorker
Was she "the people's princess," who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she manipulative and media-savvy and nearly brought down the monarchy?
Tina Brown, former Editor-in-Chief of Tatler, England's glossiest gossip magazine; Vanity Fair; and The New Yorker gives us the answers. Tina knew Diana personally and has far-reaching insight into the royals and the Queen herself.
In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them: Diana's sexually charged mother, her scheming grandmother, the stepmother she hated but finally came to terms with, and bad-girl Fergie, her sister-in-law, who concealed wounds of her own.
Most formidable of them all was her mother-in-law, the Queen, whose admiration Diana sought till the day she died. Add Camilla Parker-Bowles, the ultimate "other woman" into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

Habe das Buch abgebrochen.
Der Schreibstil hat mir so gar nicht zugesagt, außerdem werden zu viele weitere Personen aus Dianas Leben zu ausführlich behandelt, und nicht wenige davon haben mich gar nicht interessiert, dann gibt es auch noch zu viele Zeitsprünge. Ich fand es anstrengend und frustrierend. Habe das Buch schließlich pausiert. Da es mich auch nach mehreren Monaten Pause so gar nicht zu dem Buch zieht, habe ich beschlossen das Buch ausziehen zu lassen. Es gibt keine Sternenbewertung, da ich nur 240 Seiten von 750 Seiten gelesen habe.
