A reissue of this classic title with a new introduction by Andrew Morton reflecting on the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the original publication, and on the long term legacy of Diana.

The sensational biography of Princess Diana, written with her cooperation and now featuring exclusive new material to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her death.When Diana: Her True Story was first published in 1992, it forever changed the way the public viewed the British monarchy. Greeted initially with disbelief and ridicule, the #1 New York Times bestselling biography has become a unique literary classic, not just because of its explosive contents but also because of Diana's intimate involvement in the publication. Never before had a senior royal spoken in such a raw, unfiltered way about her unhappy marriage, her relationship with the Queen, her extraordinary life inside the House of Windsor, her hopes, her fears, and her dreams. Now, twenty-five years on, biographer Andrew Morton has revisited the secret tapes he and the late princess made to reveal startling new insights into her life and mind. In this fully revised edition of his groundbreaking biography, Morton considers Diana's legacy and her relevance to the modern royal family. An icon in life and a legend in death, Diana continues to fascinate. Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words is the closest we will ever come to her autobiography.

Die Erstveröffentlichung der englischen Originalausgabe mit dem Titel "Diana: Her True Story" fand im Jahr 1992 statt. Sie veränderte auf radikale Weise das Bild der breiten Öffentlichkeit vom britischen Königshaus. Damals nicht ernstgenommen und für unwahr gehalten, ist dieses Buch heute ein Klassiker der biografischen Literatur.Auf Basis von Interviews mit der Prinzession von Wales erschuf Andrew Morton in seinem Buch eine einzigartige und authentische Darstellung von Lady Dianas bewegtem Leben. Und seit dem Erscheinen von "Reserve", der Autobiografie von Prinz Harry, bietet sich nun die grandiose Möglichkeit, dieses Kapitel der englischen Geschichte von zwei Seiten zu betrachten: "Diana: Ihre wahre Geschichte" enthält den Blick der Prinzessin auf ihr Leben, ihre Ehe, ihre Familie und ihr Schicksal - und Harrys Werk beleuchtet dies alles (und noch viel mehr) aus einer anderen Perspektive. Zusammen ergibt sich ein einzigartiges Bild von der englischen Königsfamilie!"Diana: Ihre wahre Geschichte" offenbart intime Einblicke in Lady Dis Hoffnungen, Träume und Ängste sowie Erschreckendes aus ihrem Leben und über ihre Beziehungen zu den Mitgliedern der königlichen Adelsfamilie. Für diese Jubiläums-Neuausgabe hat der königliche Biograf Andrew Morton erneut die unter Verschluss gehaltenen Tonbandaufnahmen seiner Interviews mit der Prinzessin von Wales zu Rate gezogen und seine Texte mit neuen Erkenntnissen daraus aktualisiert.Dieses Buch ist fast schon eine Autobiografie - näher kann man der faszinierenden Persönlichkeit Dianas nicht kommen. >letzten Ikone des 20.

Andrew Morton uncovers the true story of the biggest celebrity of our age. Everyone knows Tom Cruise---or at least what he wants us to know. We know that he overcame a difficult childhood to star in astonishing array of blockbusters: Top Gun, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, Interview with the Vampire, Jerry Maguire, several Mission: Impossible movies, War of the Worlds, and more. We know he has taken artistic chances, too, and as a result has earned three Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globes, along with the respect of acting legends like Paul Newman and Dustin Hoffman. After that, the picture becomes a little less clear. We know that Tom is a Scientologist, but not necessarily what that means in his life. We know that, despite persistent rumors about his sexuality, he has been married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes. But it was not until the spring of 2005, when he jumped on Oprah's couch to proclaim his love for Katie and denounced Brooke Shields for turning to the "Nazi science" of psychiatry, that we began to realize how much we didn't know about the charming, hardworking star. For two years, award-winning biographer Andrew Morton has been tirelessly seeking out everyone from former teachers and girlfriends to Scientology insiders to friends who have watched a once-bullied, "nothing special" outsider transform himself into an icon Forbes has called the most powerful celebrity in the world Here, with never-seen photos and never-heard revelations, is a riveting, sometimes shocking portrait of the real Tom Cruise---his work, his love life, his marriages, his religion---from a master at uncovering the true story behind the public face of celebrity.
