Royalty

The time period of this book is before Diana and Charles were divorced and her death. Very evident why the people of England named her :/the People's Princess".

An insightful account of the life of one of the most beloved and influential people of recent years. Many things I did not know about Diana and I'm glad I read this book. ( )

Interesting. ( )

It was an okay book.
I'm one of the generation that remembers where they were when they heared the news that Diana died.
I was one of the many people that admired her, that's why I finally decided to read the biography that she contributed to herself.

And then the book. I must admit that I didn't like it very much. When it said 'contrinuted to' I expected a more personal voice. I didn't expect a lot of repetitions of things said, repetitions of names and their relation to Diana. Mentioned twice, one might expect that from that point on, the info can be regarded as known.

Only in the last part Diana's own voice is heared. But, the things that are told, I already knew because the were told in the first part of the book. It was more or less a repetition.
I read other biographies that I liked lots better (for example Marilyn Monroe's). ( )
