5.0 out of 5 stars Made me mourn for England's Rose all over again, October 21, 1998

By A Customer

A beautiful and thoughtful tribute to Diana, interspersed with lots of interesting detail, including the appalling callousness of The Royal Family. We will never see anyone else like Diana, Princess of Wales & Queen of Hearts in our lifetimes. This book, and the pictures that accompany it remind us again of the gift we had with her smiling presence, the courage she had to sparkle through her pain and vulnerability, and the loss that still goes deep with her gone. Prince Charles was a fool, and blind to the asset he had in Diana throughout their marriage. He and Camilla deserve each-other, but the monarchy would be better off ending than letting the woman who caused Diana so much grief ever have a chance to become Queen. The behavior of the Queen, Prince Phillip, and that dreadful Robert Fellows, who tried to downgrade her right to a royal funeral speaks volumes for their superficiality, callousness and shallowness. How magnificent in her kindness, empathy and genuiness was Diana in comparison. An excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is beautiful book about an elegant princess., March 27, 1999

By A Customer

My husband saw this book and purchased it for me, and I have read it many time. Diana, Princess of Wales, was one princess who possessed a sense of humor and was not afraid to laugh which appears to be somthing almost unheard of in the Royal Family.

Her smile radiated warmth and was contagious to all those around her. I don't think Prince Charles realized what a true gem he had until her death, and suddenly, he didn't have her at all - there was just Charles, no Diana and Charles. Or course, she raised the Princes, William and Harry, long enough that her legacy will live on in them. I, for one, don't see how Charles can look at either of his sons without thinking of their beautiful, elegant mother.

In a couple of my book it mentions that Camilla wasn't good enough to be royal in the seventies. If this is true, what makes her so right now - her ugliness. Diana will always be the Princess of Wales until Prince William marries as far as I am cancerned.

This is a great book and a must for everyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better than his earlier book about Diana, January 16, 2000

By	Tom - See all my reviews

This book seems to be either an attempt to just make money from Diana's death, or perhaps a belated apology for the trash he had written about Diana in his earlier book. This book is more sympathetic to Diana, but not as extensive in the biographical coverage of Diana's life, mostly about the last days of her life.
