Tim Clayton and Phil Craig: Diana: Story of a princess

This year Diana would have turned 40, and rather than this detailed regurgitation of the events leading up to her death in 1997, there might be better sport in a fictional account of what she would have become.

Her trials with Charles and inability to see much in common with her in-laws are repeated.

Is there much new to know? Well, someone says Andrew Morton was wrong in saying she was attempting suicide when she fell downstairs.

This book claims she only slipped. Further revelations will no doubt come in the TV3 series on which this book is based which begins on Wednesday.
