Diana The portrait

As the only book to be fully endorsed by the late Princess's estate and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, this Anniversary Edition by journalist Rosalind Coward stands as a unique and lasting testament to the life and work of one of the most extraordinary and enduring icons of the 20th century.Drawing on more than 200 original interviews with friends, family members, and international luminaries, the book features a foreword by Nelson Mandela and an introduction by Diana's sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale. More than 400 photographs illustrate this lavish volume--many of them published only within the context of this work. Structured around the final lines of Earl Spencer's eulogy, the book offers perspective on Diana, the unique, the complex, the extraordinary, and the irreplaceable--whom many remember as a passionate advocate for those marginalized by society.
