About this title

Review:

This collection of words and pictures--some of them rarely seen--celebrates the life of a woman who is missed by many. The editors of the Daily Telegraph have assembled photos from Princess Diana's childhood up to the last month of her life that commemorate her roles as a wife, mother, activist, and woman. Images of the shy young woman (seen in the formal engagement photo) are followed by wedding photos and shots with her two young boys. Then the princess begins to emerge more on her own--dancing with John Travolta, bringing Prince William to his first day of nursery school, comforting a young patient, inspecting a recently cleared landmine field, and jogging in work-out clothes toward her car. Together, these photographs form a portrait of a warm and engaging woman whose life was cut tragically short. Royalties from the book will be donated to the Diana Memorial Appeal, which contributes to Diana's favorite charities.

From the Introduction by W.F. Deedes (columnist and former editor of The Daily Telegraph):

It was a life, when we think about it, of extraordinary contrasts. There were the troughs of despair. There were also peaks of delight. There were times when she appeared publicly to be inflicting wounds on herself. There were moments when she seemed sublime. That is why the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, was such an intriguing life ... and that is what makes this life worth close study.

Nothwithstanding all that has been written about her and the pictures taken in all her moods, there remained a faint aura of mystery about her. There were facets of her life we shall never fully comprehend ...
