Amazon.co.uk 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." --

Review
The Good Book Guide commemorates the life and charitable work of Diana, Princess of Wales, by undertaking to contribute 1 to her Memorial Fund for every copy sold of Diana: Her True Story by Andrew Morton and Diana, Princess of Wales: A Tribute by Tim Graham. It is now known that Andrew Morton's book was produced with the full co-operation of the Princess; this completely revised edition is the closest we will get to her own version of her life story. Tim Graham's A Tribute benefits from 25 years photographing the royal family; he first photographed Diana when she was a shy 19-year-old kindergarten teacher and was later given unprecedented access for many months to photograph the Prince and Princess of Wales in private and in public; his book includes photographs from the funeral service at Westminster Abbey.
