Customer Reviews

one to keep forever
This comes as a very thick coffee table type book,what a fantastic memorial to the late princess.No scandal no tabloid tales but true testamonials from the ones who knew here best to the people who may of met here just once,but had wonderful memories to share.

Diana the Portrait
This is a wonderful account of Diana. It is a must for every coffee table, focusing clearly on her contribution to public life. This is the Diana we in her charities knew - strong, kind, humourous, supportive, caring, able to spot the person in distress and relate to him or her. A really definitive guide for those who value her memory.
