Description: NOTE: BOOK GOT WATER DAMAGE BUT STIL INTACT. Keynote A commemorative edition, containing new material on Prince William's marriage to Kate Middleton, to mark the 50th anniversary of Diana's birth. About the Book: The Diana Chronicles Ten years after her death, Princess Diana remains a mystery. Was she ?the people?s princess, ? who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she a manipulative, media-savvy neurotic who nearly brought down the monarchy? Tina Brown knew Diana personally, knows her world, understands its players, and has farreaching insight into the royals and the Queen herself. In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and get to know the society they inhabit...as you never have before. Diana?s sexually charged mother, her subtly scheming grandmother, the stepmother she hated but eventually came to understand, and a terrifying trio of in-laws and relations: Fergie, the force of nature whose life was full of its own unacknowledged pathos; Princess Margaret, the fading glamour girl; the implacable Queen Mother and more formidable than all of them, 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 felt the need to break out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.
