Fully illustrated with beautiful photographs, this special commemorative book by royal biographer Brian Hoey—who had the privilege of meeting Diana on several occasions—pays tribute to the life of this remarkable young woman.

Diana, Princess of Wales, was admired throughout the world for her vitality, compassion, determination, and beauty. When she first came on the scene, she brought a new dimension to the Royal Family and quickly became regarded as one of the most glamorous women in the world.

Yet she remained very much her own person: tough but touchingly vulnerable, self-willed but compassionate to a degree that was unprecedented in one of her generation and background. Her tragic death in 1997, in the prime of her life, shocked the world and unleashed a tide of public grief rarely seen. More than a quarter of a century later, her worldwide popularity remains as strong as ever: she is the unforgettable Diana.
Brian Hoey is the author of thirty-six books about royalty, including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Celebration. He has interviewed many members of the Royal Family including Prince Charles and the Princess Royal, the late Duke of Edinburgh, and Diana, Princess of Wales. An experienced broadcaster, he was one of the BBC’s first royal newscasters and contributes to newspapers and magazines throughout the world on royal matters.
