Diana, Princess of Wales had protection staff whenever she went anywhere. The writer, Ken Wharfe, a SAS trained officer with the Royal protection department in the Metropolitan Police, was her personal officer for six years.
This book relates stories of the foreign trips he accompanied her, organising ways to not only protect her physically from harm but also from the paparazzi all clamouring for pictures of her and the princes. It tells funny, sad and moving stories of a woman going through a bad marriage break up in public, trying not to be bullied by the establishment.
This is quite a well written book that keeps you reading just another chapter, each of which is based on a separate trip. Being given this book in return for an honest opinion, I didn’t expect to enjoy it - but I did. It is well worth reading even if it’s not your normal type of book.
