Barely over 160 pages, this is the 'true' story of the former Princess of Wales, Diana (nee Spencer). After her death, it was revealed that Morton's primary source for this book was Diana herself.
There are two sides to every story -- and as fond as I am of Diana (for whatever reason), this is her story. Charles is painted in a poor light as I suppose would be expected if Diana's telling her story. While there's probably some truth in these stories, I don't think it's the full truth.
This short book is an easy read. I did get a chuckle at the appendix at the end of the book: "Could Charles & Diana divorce?" Some of the questions, especially those about Charles' remarriage, are rather amusing to read now since he married Camilla earlier this year.

For those of us who cannot get enough of the Royal Family, this is a must-read. Excellent.
It was fast and easy reading and it informed you of what went on in her life.
A good book with pictures and questions on the monarchy answered in the back.
Easy read. Lots of color pictures.
Her story ---includes a lot of pictures.
Diana being my favorite I really enjoyed this book
Years after her death, we are still obessed with your story. Good insight to her life.
A well written story about a wonderful woman ,mother and humanitarian who died so tragically and so young with so much life left to live.
The sudden and tragic death of Princess Diana caused the world to reflect on how much this singular woman meant to us all. This new edition of her life story -- which includes Diana's personal recollections in her own words, as well as an account of the events surrounding her death -- poignantly strengthens her hold on our hearts.
From her fairy-tale wedding and the births of her two wonderful boys to the stunning collapse of her marriage, Diana's luminous but troubled life transfixed millions. Despite enduring heartbreak, illness, and depression, she never wavered in her commitment to the less fortunate, or in her determination to make a better life for herself and her sons. This revealing book is the closest we will ever come to her autobiography -- a lasting and powerful testament to her courage and spirit.

Diana: Her True Story - In Her Own Words is a heartbreaking insight into the life and mind of one of the most beloved people the world has ever seen. Delving deep into some of Diana's most life-changing moments- both good and bad- is almost breathtaking. Reading the words on the page as she actually said them- completely breathtaking. I had to stop myself several times from becoming emotional while reading this book, as it reads quite differently than anything else I've come across. To hear what she felt, not from another's perspective, not from a third-party writing about her, but to actually read the words Diana once said is chilling. To read what she thought and why she did things, in a totally undiluted manner feels almost intrusive. Andrew Morton couldn't have written this book better if he tried, it flows together seamlessly. I'm so glad I decided to read this, I can't recommend it enough.
