This small book is filled with pictures of Diana from the days when she was a kindergarten teacher to her marriage to Prince Charles. Also, she is shown comforting Elton John at a mutual friend's funeral in Italy just one month prior to her own tragic death. Some of the pictures which are shown in black and white, one has seen before in color.

This is the story of a young girl who grew up before our eyes in the glare of public scrutiny. She was born Honorable Diana Spencer, became Lady Diana Spencer upon the death of her paternal grandfather, and became Her Royal Highness, Diana, Princess of Wales, when she married. Sadly, when her marriage ended, it was agreed that whe would be addressed as Diana, Princess of Wales. Diana was the only child in the Spencer family who did not have a Royal as a godparent.

Diana, Princess of Wales, sponsored many organizations and took all of her duties seriously. However, she liked her role as MUMMY more than any other role. Her bedroom was within hearing distance of the nursery, and whenever she heard a cry, she was there instantly. This was certainly not in tradition in Royal Families. She was heard to say, "A Mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's." Diana wanted her children to experience the wold outside the palace, as well as, in the confines of the palace. She tried to give them as normal a childhood as possible which she succeeded in doing.

Diana was known not just in Britain, but the world over. People from all over the world loved Diana, and she became not only a princess, but queen of their hearts.

This is a mini hardback book

I actually bought this book as a gift, but after browsing through it, decided to keep it. The photo's are quality and the text is warm. It captures the essence of Diana: comforting, human and very, very lovely.

I liked this book, the photos are lovely and the text is nice, only the size is bad.

A beautiful little book for a beautiful lady
