'Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of
beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity.
All over the world, a standard bearer for the rights of the truly
downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality.
Someone with a natural nobility who was classless and who proved in
the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to
generate her particular brand of magic...' From Charles Spencer's
address at his sister Diana's funeral, Westminster Abbey, 6
September 1997 Today, twenty-five years since Diana's death, seems
the right moment for a reassessment of this remarkable woman. Did
the Royal Family learn lessons from her life, about protection and
privacy, about how to incorporate 'outsiders' into their ranks,
about how to manage scandal? Did it take any lessons from her
death, and the public's reaction not only to that, but to the
behaviour of, in particular, the Queen and Prince Charles, in the
aftermath? Or have the family and the Palace - 'the men in grey
suits', as Diana called them - continued on the same track,
unchanged, repeating many of the mistakes made with her, from her
first nervous ventures in royal circles to her later defiance of
traditional protocols? These and many other questions are explored
in this authoritative book, written by two people closely
associated with Diana: Inspector Ken Wharfe was the Princess's
police protection officer for six years during the most turbulent
period of her marriage to Prince Charles. Ros Coward was chosen as
author of the official book by the Diana, Princess of Wales
Memorial Trust. Their book is both an examination of the people and
events of the time, and an elegiac tribute to one of the most
iconic figures of the late twentieth century.
