Amazon Review
Diana: Her True Story was originally published in 1992 under the guise of a quasi-authorised biography with mostly unnamed courtiers and royalty as the accredited sources. It instantly became a sizzling, international bestseller that lanced the boil of Windsor family dysfunction, triggering a chain of events that led to Charles and Diana's divorce. After her tragic death in 1997, Andrew Morton revealed that Diana herself had not only been the main source for the book, but had also edited his original drafts for accuracy. In return for this gold mine of information, Diana wanted complete anonymity for fear of retaliation from the queen. Her True Story in Her Own Words is enhanced by more than 75 full-colour photographs of the princess, from her childhood in Althorp to her marriage to Charles at Westminster Abbey to her humanitarian efforts and finally to her unforgettable funeral service. However, the most poignant portrayal of the princess emerges from the unedited transcriptions of Diana's interviews with Morton: "I think I'm going to cut a very different path from everyone else. I'm going to break away from this set-up and go and help the man on the street." --Amazon.com

I gave this book 5 stars because it is the nearest we will get to Diana's autobiography, and she gives us an insight into the way she was treated by all around her, especially at the time when she most needed nurturing by her (what seemed like then) useless husband, and it shows us she was a normal, warm, sensitive, with a lovely sense of humer human being, what a beautiful queen she would have made, all she needed was love from those closest to her.

This is more or less what we already know about Diana, but still is a good read. Obviously told from Diana,s point of view, but still worth it
