Princess Diana

I hesitated to buy this book because I didn't want to get caught up in a media image of someone. Since Diana, Princess of Wales, was so recently alive amidst much media frenzy, I wasn't sure if an honest and realistic portrait of her could be portrayed. But, as I have been following @KensingtonPalace and @RoyalFamily on Twitter lately, I have gotten curious again regarding her life and how she affected the current leaders of one of today's global countries. I had mourned her death; she had been seen by me in a personal way when I saw pictures of her when I was growing up (I had watched her wedding and was highly impressed by her humanitarian work). I wanted to know the truth. I feel this book does that. Like other books in the DK Biography series, the pictures were well chosen and the text honest, to-the-point, and informative. I mourn her still but, due to this book, I see that her sons do a fantastic job of carrying out her legacy and wishes while both maintaining and changing their Royal heritage.
