Items related to The Real Diana
Updated with new theories on Diana's death and exposing the author's royal sources for the first time, this definitive biography relates the story of Princess Diana's life as she would have told it. Compiled from more than 30 meetings and conversations between the author and the princess, whom she first met when Diana was just 17 years old, this exposé reveals the ""real"" Diana as someone simply trying to make sense of a life made up of impossible extremes. Privileged yet anguished, beloved yet self-loathing, Diana is portrayed as a woman with both a sense of great joy and a great burden of pain who did her best to balance her private life and her public persona. From before her marriage up until her tragic death, this account paints a revealing portrait of a woman whose image continues to resonate today.

Review:
Say what you will about the author of The Real Diana, but Lady Colin Campbell certainly is no practitioner of noblesse oblige. This is a book for those who like their gossip explicit and in large quantities, and who aren't bothered by little details like verifiable attribution. (The vast majority of quotes in this book are from "a member of the Wales household," "a lady-in-waiting," "a courtier," and most ironically of all, "a friend.") Lady Campbell claims to be the person whom Diana first approached to write the tell-all biography that Andrew Morton was later to author. And though she turned down that opportunity, this is her second publication to cash in on her "insider status" (Diana in Private was her first), which is seemingly a reference to her title by marriage and a casual acquaintance with the princess.
From the Publisher:
With its paucity of named sources, it's probably impossible to authoritatively separate fact from fiction in The Real Diana, though it does seem that what with affairs, petty vengeances, and temper tantrums, Di would have had little time left for her courtly duties. Campbell's style is lively enough, and she has some interesting insights into the modern British aristocracy and its unconventional values. But are you truly curious to learn not only the details of the late princess's lovers' techniques, but also the names of the two therapists Diana went to for colonic irrigation? --John Longenbaugh
