This exclusive edition features an introduction narrated by the author, and an interview between Andrew Morton and celebrated royal correspondent Jennie Bond.

A reissue of this classic title, updated with never-before-published material from the original taped interviews and with a new introduction by Andrew Morton that reflects on the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the original publication of Diana: Her True Story.

One of the world's best-known biographers, Andrew Morton's groundbreaking and controversial biography Diana: Her True Story changed the public's perception of the British monarchy and became an instant global best seller. When it was first published, the original book was met with abuse and criticism from the disbelieving British establishment and mass media. At the time Diana's collaboration with Morton was a closely guarded secret. It was only in 1997, months after her tragic death, that Morton revealed how the princess was the hidden hand behind the most controversial royal book of all time.

In raw and revealing tape recordings, Diana exposed the sham of her marriage to future king Prince Charles, her eating disorders, her suicide attempts as well as her hope and faith in a happier future. This was royalty unplugged and uncensored, the princess talking candidly about her whole life, from her unhappy childhood to her time inside the royal family.

Sadly a life of such promise was cut short in an underpass in Paris. As a result Diana: Her True Story - in Her Own Words remains her one true testament, the nearest we will ever come to her autobiography. This new and revised edition reflects on the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the original publication as well as Diana's long-term legacy, particularly the lives of her two sons, Princes William and Harry.

This is a must read regarding Diana's life. It's surely an eye opener regarding the way she was treated by the royal family but also the press.

A must read!

I didn’t read this book the first time round, I didn’t have to. The best bits were in the newspapers! Love her or hate her ( I don’t do either) she sure shook things up. The updated and extended parts make it very enjoyable.

I read the book many years ago so it was interesting to revisit it.
This time around I had a better understanding of Diana and her own struggles.
Highly recommend.
However the female narrators voice grated on me and I only persevered because the book was so good.
At times the reading was rushed by the male narrator so much so
I had to slow him down !

A good listen. It brought back memories of Princess Diana and how she was hounded by the press/paparazzi for public consumption. As a young girl, I was guilty of wanting to know all about her but didn't consider the grief she endured.

Interesting..
