About this listen

This exclusive edition features an introduction narrated by the author, and an interview between Andrew Morton and celebrated royal correspondent Jennie Bond.

A reissue of this classic title, updated with never-before-published material from the original taped interviews and with a new introduction by Andrew Morton that reflects on the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the original publication of Diana: Her True Story.

One of the world's best-known biographers, Andrew Morton's groundbreaking and controversial biography Diana: Her True Story changed the public's perception of the British monarchy and became an instant global best seller. When it was first published, the original book was met with abuse and criticism from the disbelieving British establishment and mass media. At the time Diana's collaboration with Morton was a closely guarded secret. It was only in 1997, months after her tragic death, that Morton revealed how the princess was the hidden hand behind the most controversial royal book of all time.

In raw and revealing tape recordings, Diana exposed the sham of her marriage to future king Prince Charles, her eating disorders, her suicide attempts as well as her hope and faith in a happier future. This was royalty unplugged and uncensored, the princess talking candidly about her whole life, from her unhappy childhood to her time inside the royal family.

Sadly a life of such promise was cut short in an underpass in Paris. As a result Diana: Her True Story - in Her Own Words remains her one true testament, the nearest we will ever come to her autobiography. This new and revised edition reflects on the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the original publication as well as Diana's long-term legacy, particularly the lives of her two sons, Princes William and Harry.

Excellent format with interview/discussion between Andrew and Jenny Bond, Diana's story and then 2017 review of how the Princes took on her mantle, and are (well at least William still is) continuing her good works and promoting a more approachable and sympathetic royal style. The story is beautifully told and narrated with both Diana's strengths and weaknesses covered. I think I knew a lot of what was covered but it did not detract from my enjoyment of listening to this book. Thank you for an insightful and caring story.

Royal tragedy with positive outcome

We all know the story but it is interesting to listen to it from start to finish. Nothing very new revealed but the whole tragedy unfolds sounding new and revealing. Very much told from Diana’s point of view but an effort made to try not to be too one sided, which somewhat failed. A good read.

A familiar story retold

Loved this.
From being a child and remembering the day we all woke the horrific news and my father being summoned to duty as an active serving member of the military I will never forget that day and this book brought back so many memories of the aftermath of her death and we grieved as nation for a person we thought we knew & should have treated with more privacy & respect.
Honestly a good book highly recommend
