The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown

The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Years after her death, Princess Diana remains a mystery. This "insanely readable and improbably profound" biography (Chicago Tribune) reveals the truth as only famed journalist Tina Brown could tell it. 

"The best book on Diana." --The New Yorker

Was she "the people's princess," who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she manipulative and media-savvy and nearly brought down the monarchy? 

Tina Brown, former Editor-in-Chief of Tatler, England's glossiest gossip magazine; Vanity Fair; and The New Yorker gives us the answers. Tina knew Diana personally and has far-reaching insight into the royals and the Queen herself.

In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them: Diana's sexually charged mother, her scheming grandmother, the stepmother she hated but finally came to terms with, and bad-girl Fergie, her sister-in-law, who concealed wounds of her own.  

Most formidable of them all was her mother-in-law, the Queen, whose admiration Diana sought till the day she died. 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.

TINA BROWN is the originator of the Women in the World Conference and an award-winning writer and editor. She was the editor of Tatler, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker from 1979 until 2001.

In 2000, Queen Elizabeth named her a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for her contributions to international journalism, and she was inducted into the United States Journalism Hall of Fame in 2007.
