I have grown inordinately fond of Christopher Andersen's prose lately. Yes, there are times when he falls into overusing the same phrase on multiple occasions (and it's usually something elegant that you just know he's very proud of, like "those legendary playing fields of Eton," or something like that), or when he refers to the same person in three or more different ways on the same page (as in "Diana," "Mummy," and "the Princess of Wales"; or "Elizabeth," "Granny," "Her Majesty," and "the Quee [...]

I actually lstened to this on my way to a conference. Overall, it was an enjoyable book. I think there are many things that have come out since the writing of this that make it a bit humorous especially with Wills now a husband and father. I also appreciated seeing the more human side of Charles. Her death was a tragedy. She was the mother to two boys that she loved very much, and tried to raise them to be good princes and kings.

I usually take so much time reading a book - might take a day to read a chapter. When I do read, I only read when I feel I want to. However, it's different for this book. I look forward to reading it after a day's work. I read two chapters quickly before I go to sleep. I like how Andersen's writing flows. As English is not my primary language, his vocabulary is easy to understand so I don't take too long like usual. I thought I'm going to regret buying this book which I bought cheap in a used bo [...]

I have now read several biographies by Christopher Andersen. I find them well written & seem to be well researched. This book was written only four years after Diana's death, so it is interesting to relive the tenor of those times. Considering how well (for the most part) Diana's boys have done since, this book shows her influence on them & how they have become the men they are today.

Interesting facts about the lives of the young princes.

I was living in England when Diana died. In fact, I had been on the spot where she was killed only two weeks before. I remember the shock of knowing that such a young, vibrant woman with so much left to give, had suddnely been taken from this world. The reality that her young sons would have to go through their adolescence without a mother - a mother whom they were so obviously close to - was heartbreaking.This book is a wonderful chronicle of their lives together. Unfortunately, I don't think t [...]

A really interesting read about Diana's sons and their lives up to and beyond Diana's death. I really enjoyed this book.Back Cover Blurb:Five years after Diana's death, Prince William and his brother Prince Harry are the planet's two most written and speculated about young men. People everywhere feel an intense affection for Wills and Harry, and wonder if, without their mother to guide them, they are withering or flourishing in the House of Windsor.Here is a story of a mother who died too young [...]

In spite of my love of anything Royal, I avoid most books as they tend to be over-the-top and self indulgent. This was a refreshing change as the author, when leaning dangerously to one side of the fence, always managed to tip the scales back to neutral with an even hand of praising and admonishing both parents equally in the boys' upbringing. I was also very pleased that even with the advantage of hindsight, I was to still able to learn new details about my favorite family.

Christmas gift from Mom.

Such a sad story for a great person. It's truly just shitty how she was treated by the royal family. A great book for any history or Diana enthusiast. Now on to After Diana.
