About this deal

However time heals all wounds and like many who died young I know think that Princess Diana at 36 eternally is much better than at 50 or 52.

Discover the untold story behind one of the most sensational chapters in the history of the House of Windsor'This book had me in tears and also made me smile' 5***** Reader Review 'A loving, informative, respectful tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales' 5***** Reader Review 'A brilliant and provoking book . Burrell does a great job tieing everything together as he explains the historical events around him.I never thought that I would need to defend the Princess against untruths from many different quarters.

His wife should be proclaimed a saint for not leaving him even after the princess almost rejected her entirely and didn't speak to her for a year (while her husband did nothing to mend the situation).Burrell seemed to have gotten caught up the cycle so much so that he put his own family on the back burner so he could be as involved as possible in the daily life of Diana. The author obviously only ever had the Princess's well-being at heart and I don't think he would ever have done anything to hurt her or her memory. Having known personally almost every member of the current British Royal family, his credible insight is much sought after.

I appreciated the revelation into Charles’ and Diana’s relationship, and other relationships she had, as so many allegations and misconceptions by people who didn’t know her at all have spread like wildfire about them.There she was in that huge meringue dress, still a teenager, marrying a prince who said, at their engagement when asked by a reporter, that yes he did love Diana, "whatever love is" and gave Camilla a bracelet with their entwined initials the night before his wedding. which I find fascinating (although I still have lots of questions about the role of ladies-in-waiting).

Because of selling her t-shirts, I had several very famous and rich clients coming to me for commissions.

His account of the events leading up to Diana's death,her relationship with Dodi Al Fayed and the aftermath is worth reading. Progressive ideas did not stop Diana expecting Burrell to lean over and fasten her seatbelt - a detail which may be rather more telling than her prophecy of an assassination attempt. I think reading this book in 2014 gives me a different perspective than if I had read it upon publication. It bothered me that Paul and his family had to go through all that court drama for as long as he did and all of a sudden. He started to get more and ingratiating and smug, constantly detailing how close his relationship with Diana became, how many gifts she gave him, how close he was to all her friends.
