Diana: A Portrait in Her Own Words
In between her fairy-tale wedding and her premature death, there lived the most beloved royal presence of our century, surely as multifaceted as any celebrity of our time. The radical twists and turns in her brief life drew the fascination of millions. Yet the most photographed woman in the world was also the least quoted--her actual words were seldom heard, and never gathered, until now. This unique book is the result of a scrupulous worldwide search for every one of Diana's significant quotes. Upon reading this collection, one will find that behind her shy veneer dwelled a woman of extraordinary resourcefulness, stamina, and, perhaps above all, vulnerability. In fact, her open frankness about the events and people around her is both disarming and startling. The reader will discover the sharp clarity, endless warmth, and ready wit that she brought to her legendary life in this intimate self-portrait. This is the closest we will ever get to an autobiography from the People's Princess.

The Next Best Thing To A Diana Autobiography
Published by Miss Lady V , 3 years ago
Diana: A Portrait In Her Own Words is a fun collection of Diana quotes that shows why she's "The People's Princess". In spite of her aristocratic background and royal status, Diana was endearingly down to earth and a class act. This book also showed that Diana had a good sense of humor. Nice tribute to the Princess of Wales.
Excellent Source Book

It's longer than most books of quotes from the Princess because Mr Adler presents the sweet and the sour. The loving, the difficulties and the humor of Diana in her own wordsPeople say those who love Diana believe she was a saint. No, she was far too interesting for that. She's loved because she was entirety and gloriously human , and allowed it to show. We are all works in progress. But imagen being the Priness of Wales and yet insisting on being yourself as well? This book covers the terrain well
