The 1992 publication of Andrew Morton's bestseller shook the British royal family, revealing shocking truths about Princess Diana's life. The book disclosed Prince Charles's long-term affair, the sham of their marriage, Diana's struggles with an eating disorder, and her suicide attempts, initially met with disbelief. However, as events unfolded, including the couple's separation in December 1992 and Charles's televised admission of infidelity, Morton's claims were confirmed. Friends hoped this separation would allow Diana to find happiness, but she faced increasing isolation within the royal family, with her children only occasionally by her side. The narrative explores her secret battles and frustrations as she seeks to break free from the constraints of her royal life. With unprecedented access to Diana's close friends and advisers, Morton reveals how she, having become a princess before maturing, is learning to assert her identity beyond the palace's control. The book delves into the infighting and intrigue surrounding this royal crisis, along with Diana's private reflections on her public life, potential remarriage, and her son Prince William's future. Accompanied by 32 pages of striking color photographs, it offers an explosive look at Diana's struggle for autonomy.
