About this listen
Who was the real Diana? What was it like to be so privileged yet so anguished, so beloved yet so self-loathing, so spoiled yet so despairing? The Princess of Wales was all these things--far more complicated, conflicted, and intriguing a person than the wildly disparate saint or lunatic she is frequently portrayed to be.
Royal insider Lady Colin Campbell sets the record straight on many of the most controversial aspects of Diana's turbulent life: how Charles and Diana's engagement came to pass, though it seemed ill-advised to those closest to both of them; what their honeymoon was really like; the truth behind Diana's bulimia, her widely reported suicide attempts, and her obsession with Camilla Parker Bowles; Diana's search for love and fulfillment with numerous men before, during, and after her marriage; her brilliant manipulations of the press; and her relationship with Dodi Fayed.
Lady Colin Campbell's New York Times bestselling biography Diana in Private was the first to expose the truth about Diana and her troubled marriage. In The Real Diana, she reveals that the reason she knew so much about what went on behind the palace gates was because Diana herself was the source. Drawing upon these confidences--as well as on conversations with countless people who knew Diana and with Diana herself in the final years of her life--Lady Colin Campbell combines true insight with true compassion to bring us the most intimate and revealing portrait of the Princess of Wales that we will ever have.

Decent book but some odd conclusions
There are a few parts in this book where the author comes to a conclusion about Diana's motives that I don't think are certain. Were I in the same position, I might have made the same move, but for a different reason. I also note, in view of Harry's recent disclosures, that all was not well with the boy's speedy recovery after Diana's death. While the book is very interesting and I think well researched, points like this cast a wee shadow.

Well written and interested
Makes sense of a lot of things I wondered about during the leadup to the marriage and what happened from then on. For example, I found it hard to gelieve that a girl raised in a family with the kind of connections the Spencers had could be as naive as the press portrayed her. It's a great pity her family didn't give her a more accurate portrayal of what life as acroyal would be. Paints a much more realistic and human picture of the people involved and I liked the narrator too.

Absolute Garbage
Lady Colin Campbell writes like a gossip columnist only too happy to run down the People’s Princess Diana. She writes in a degrading manner, popular in the 90s, about Diana’s trysts, makes a big deal about how she wasn’t a virgin before her marriage, and points out many things about Diana that she thinks arw foibles. She uses one source per story, and it’s usually someone from the Queen’s court. King Charles III has no slights against him, as this is clearly a royalist sympathizer’s point of view. Shame on you Lady Campbell.
