I should probably state from the outset that I was not a great fan of Princess Di so approached this book expecting very little.
It's not a book that sets out to teach the reader anything new and isn't designed to be sensationalist. More a case of a relatively affectionate look back on some of the private moments of a princess 20 years since her death.
To be honest some of the material was a little flimsy and, in not repeating things already written about, it has the feel of a few minor incidents that have been padded out to create a book.
Having previously though Diana was a great manipulator of the press, this book does give an insight into why she would have behaved that way and the frustrations that come from being in a failing, public and extremely high profile marriage.
Diana fans will undoubtedly love it but I'm not entirely convinced that there is enough material here to warrant a book about a subject that has reached saturation point already.....
