      Životní příběh všemi milované princezny z Walesu… Nejdůležitější momenty z bohatého života Diany Spencer, pozdější princezny z Walesu, od útlého mládí až po tragické úmrtí v srpnu roku 1997. Jistě si řeknete - Diana, tu přece každý zná a četl o ní tisíckrát - a budete mít pravdu, ale tato kniha současně s jejím životem předkládá také historii britské královské rodiny i rodu Spencer (mimochodem mnohem staršího), poznatky z rodinné politiky a preferencí královny Alžběty. V neposlední řadě přináší zajímavé výpovědi přátel a příbuzných Diany i jejího osudového partnera Dodiho al Fayeda. Poznáte princeznu Dianu v době, kdy ještě ani netušila, že se jí nějakého titulu dostane, v době, kdy si hrávala s bratrem prince Charlese, zamilovávala se, pracovala ve školce a toužila po pravé lásce a mateřství. Zároveň však pochopíte její ctižádost a touhu po uznání, díky níž se stala právě tou opěvovanou a všeobecně milovanou "princeznou lidských srdcí"…

      Diana - příběh
    • Imagine a world where young people don't feel held back by their bodies. Where we appreciate each other for who we are and what we do rather than what we look like. Body image, and the associated issues of weight, food and physical activity, are hot topics in our families. How did we get to this place of constant criticism about our own bodies, and how can we get out of it? To coincide with the release of her ground-breaking new documentary Embrace Kids, leading body image activist and powerhouse change-maker Taryn Brumfitt has collaborated with body image expert Dr Zali Yager on one of the most important health issues of our time - helping our children and teens feel comfortable about, and confident in, their bodies. With chapters for parents on understanding your own journey, appreciating your own body and creating a positive home environment, as well as tackling diet and fashion trends, friendship issues and social media challenges, Embrace Kids is full of evidence-informed suggestions and supportive, practical advice. This book will teach you everything you need to know to build your kids' body image, to wholeheartedly embrace their uniqueness, and to steer them on a path to body confidence that has the power to liberate them for life.

      The 20th Anniversary Edition of Tina Brown's definitive behind-the-scenes insight into the life of Diana Princess of Wales with a brand new introduction by Andrew Marr.

      The Diana Chronicles
    • ""Never again" became Queen Elizabeth II's mantra shortly after Princess Diana's tragic death. More specifically, there could never be "another Diana" - a member of the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone, and posed an existential threat to the British monarchy. Brown takes readers on a tour de force journey through the scandals, love affairs, power plays, and betrayals that have buffeted the monarchy over the last twenty-five years. We see the Queen's stoic resolve after the passing of Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother, and Prince Philip, her partner for seven decades, and how she triumphs in her Jubilee years even as family troubles rage around her. Brown explores Prince Charles's determination to make Camilla Parker Bowles his wife, the tension between William and Harry on "different paths," the ascendance of Kate Middleton, the downfall of Prince Andrew, and Harry and Meghan's stunning decision to step back as senior royals. Despite the fragile monarchy's best efforts, "never again" seems fast approaching. Picking up where Tina Brown's masterful The Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace Papers reveals how the royal family reinvented itself after the traumatic years when Diana's blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet"--Publisher's description.
