I have always been a Diana fan ever since I was seven. I thought her wedding in 1981 was the most fascinating event that I have ever watched on TV. Her star quality fired the imagination of the world including little kids like me and from the 500 or so photographs captured in the 380 pages of this book, it is hard not to see why. The first couple of photographs were in black and white and perfectly captured the shy, awkward gawky kindergarten teacher right through to her engagement to Prince Charles before she was fully thrusted into the limelight after the wedding. Subsequent photographs showed her older, but more confident and adept at connecting with the public through her various royal engagements. Her fashion and style would also evolved over time as she become a fashion icon adored by the world over. From the photos, it was apparent that she loved her children and was happy to spend time with them while her relationship with the Prince deteriorated. The scenes from her funeral marked the closure of the book at the end. Verdict: This book is not for reading but I really like to flip through the pages of the book and look at the photographs especially when I am waiting for my son to finish his homework or do his "business" in the big bathroom.
My personal rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
