Book description
Glamour. Duty. Tragedy: The Woman Behind the Princess.
Sarah Bradford delivers an authoritative and explosive study of the
greatest icon of the twentieth century: Diana.
After more than a decade interviewing those closest to the Princess
and her select circle, Sarah Bradford exposes the real Diana: the
blighted childhood, the old-fashioned courtship which saw her capture
the Prince of Wales, the damage caused by the spectre of Camilla
Parker Bowles, through to the collapse of the royal marriage and
Diana's final and complicated year as single woman.
Diana paints an honest portrait of a woman riddled with
contradictions and whose vulnerability and unique empathy with the
suffering made her one of the most extraordinary figures of the modern age.
Sarah Bradford is a historian and biographer. Previous books include
biographies of Disraeli, George VI, Elizabeth II and Jacqueline Kennedy
Onassis (America's Queen), as well as two previous accounts of the
Borgia family. She lives in London.
