About this listen
Only Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Tatler, England's glossiest gossip magazine, as well as Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, could possibly give us the truth. Tina knew Diana personally and has far-reaching insight into the royals and the Queen.
In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them. Among them are Diana's sexually charged mother, her bad-girl sister-in-law, Fergie, and, most formidable of them all, her mother-in-law, the Queen. Add Camilla Parker Bowles, the ultimate "other woman", into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

"A delightfully smart and insightful book that...weaves a compelling human drama into a rich social history." (Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe)
"This is not only first-rate biography, but a marvelous social history, and a bitingly accurate portrait of the English upper classes." (Michael Korda, author of Charmed Lives and Ike)

Brought my tears back. A.H
An expose which , as far as I can tell, is not from so-called’ hearsay or of opinions.
I enjoyed the Narrator’s voice.
Found myself with a lump in
my throat, at times, as I remember that August day, only too well.
Thank you, for a fair and objective Book.

Finally a book that’s not just another fawning ode to Saint Diana.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’ve always been dubious about Princess Di. Whilst I think she was genuinely altruistic in her charity work (unlike her daughter-in-law Meghan), I also could see her petty and attention-seeking side. And so does this author. I’m fascinated by the British Royal family and therefore thought I had read everything there was to know about them. But there were stories and insights in this book that I had actually never heard before. It’s not a hate piece on Diana but it’s definitely not a fawning tribute. There are also intimate details in this book about her sex life that made me cringe with embarrassment for her sons! The narrator does a great impression of Diana’s voice but the constant lowering of her tone when she was imitating men was farcical and distracting.
