What more is there to say about Princess Diana? As it turns out, quite a lot! Like many of you, I fell in love with Lady Diana Spencer when she burst onto the royal scene back in 1980. I watched her magical wedding, cheered when she had her sons, Princes William and Harry, sympathized with her marital difficulties and, of course, mourned her terribly when she died. Millions of people around the world also eagerly followed her life's events. Princess Diana remained a superstar throughout her life and is still immensely talked about after her untimely and tragic death in 1997. In reading about her, I, like others, could never get enough about Diana, in trying to learn about this fascinating young woman. Although many details of her life have been documented and published over the years, I found that one thing was missing in every account-Diana's own voice.

Have you ever wondered how a naïve nineteen-year old British Kindergarten teacher became the Princess of Wales? Or what triggered bulimia in a young woman at what was supposed to be the happiest time of her life? Or what Lady Diana Spencer was really thinking on the day of her wedding? Diana: A Spencer in Love is a novel that spans one year in Princess Diana's life - the year where she met Prince Charles, fell in love with him, became a part of the royal family and finally married him. As a novel, the book tells the story from Diana's own point-of-view - this is her voice telling what happened in the early 80's. Everyone knows the bare facts about Lady Diana Spencer - her life in London; and the short romance and engagement with Prince Charles before the fairytale wedding in front of 750 million people. But no one has told the story of what this remarkable young woman was thinking, feeling and experiencing during this incredible time. Based on the actual historical events of 1980 and 1981, Diana: A Spencer in Love charts her journey from carefree teenager to worldwide phenomenon - in just 365 days! Tantalizing snippets of Diana pop culture (e.g. "You have to marry him, Duch - your name is on the teatowels") are brought to life with vivid historical accuracy, rich dialogue and insights into the events and how Diana might have viewed them. Descriptions of royal households like Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle and Highgrove Estate give avid Diana fans an insider's look into what her life might have been like. A unique theme throughout the book is the legacy and heritage of Diana's Spencer background. How she admired and emulated the strong Spencer women before her and used this strength to overcome incredible challenges as she transitioned into royal life. In some ways this was Diana's untold secret weapon. We all know - or think we know - Princess Diana's story. And yet, we can't get enough of her and continue to be fascinated by this one-of-a-kind Princess even two decades after her death. Diana: A Spencer in Love won't disappoint those who want to read more about her innermost thoughts and feelings while appealing to a new audience who want to get to know the "real Diana." The story ends with Charles' and Diana's honeymoon aboard HMS Britannia as the fairytale starts to crumble. Diana has married the Prince of her dreams but will love be enough? Whatever in love means...

WITH NEW AFTERWORD FROM THE AUTHOR. When you're the most famous woman in the world, can you really love in secret? When Princess Diana flew to Pakistan in May 1997, she went to meet the family of Dr Hasnat Khan, the man she wanted to marry. One of the most well-known and beautiful women in the world, she hoped to persuade Dr Khan's mother that she would make a suitable wife for her son. However, this was not the only hurdle to overcome: the man she called her 'Mr Wonderful' was a dedicated professional who sought to avoid the limelight – a fact that would test their love to the limits. Had their relationship succeeded, the events of that summer might have been very different. Sharing powerful testimony from Diana's closest confidants, and that of Dr Khan's own family, as well as information released during the inquests into the deaths of Diana and Dodi Fayed, this book offers a unique insight into Diana's world and the events central to her last years. This special new edition of an international bestseller, released in the year that would've marked Diana's 60th birthday, features a new afterword from the author reflecting on the legacy of this most extraordinary of women.

With famous fans such as Rihanna still referring to Lady Di as one of her style icons, and Hailey Bieber paying homage to her athleisure looks, it's clear that Princess Diana is one of the most influential style icons of the 20th century. Throughout the 80s and 90s she was known as a loving mother, philanthropist, 'Princess of the People' and daring and bold fashionista. In The Legend of Di Dan Jones celebrates the style evolution of Lady Diana Spencer - from the innocent see-through skirt faux-pas, to the off-the-rack blue David Sassoon suit and pussy bow ensemble worn on her engagement to Prince Charles, the 25-foot train on her Elizabeth and David Emmanuel wedding dress, the 1996 black Christina Stambolian 'revenge dress', bike pants with Virgin Atlantic sweatshirt going-home-from-the-gym look, and more. Dan will chart how Di's style evolved from the twee Laura Ashley-loving 19-year-old when she first joined the monarchy in 1981, to a bold and confident fashion influencer in the 90s. Diana had the the knack of following Royal Etiquette yet making up her own fashion rules, influencing millions of women across the globe along the way. From her frilly pussy bow blouses, to one-shoulder spangly dresses, statement chokers, colourful suits and jeans with blazer ensembles, this is a collection of her best-loved fashion moments - from the red carpet to heading home from the gym and walking through minefields. Beautifully illustrated throughout, and featuring over 50 of Diana's most iconic looks, as well as profiles of her go-to designers, this is a keepsake for die-hard Di fans and fashion-lovers alike.

With these words to Boswell, Samuel Johnson dismissed Lady Di Beauclerk, the wife of one of his closest friends, a woman of the highest rank, the daughter of a duke, who had forsaken her reputation, her place in society, her children, and her role as lady-in-waiting to the Queen for love. Born Lady Diana Spencer in 1735, the eldest child of the third Duke of Marlborough, she was expected rigidly to follow a traditional path through life: educated in the fashion considered suitable for a girl, and married to a man of the appropriate rank for a duke's daughter. But finding herself in a desperately unhappy marriage to Viscount Bolingbroke, Lady Di overturned convention. She left her husband, maintained a secret relationship with her lover, Topham Beauclerk, hid the birth of an illegitimate child, and eventually helped to support herself by painting. Lady Di Beauclerk was a highly gifted artist who was able to use her scandalous reputation as an adulteress, aristocratic woman to further her career as a painter and designer. She painted portraits, illustrated plays and books, provided designs for Wedgwood's innovative pottery, and decorated rooms with murals. Championed by her close friend Horace Walpole, whose letters illuminate all aspects of her life, she was able to establish herself as an admired artist at a time when women struggled to forge careers. Carola Hicks provides an enthralling account of eighteenth-century society, in which Lady Di encountered many of the most eminent artistic, literary, and political figures of the day. Improper Pursuits is an absorbing study of a singular life.
