Description: "Drawing upon intensive research and interviews, Anne Edwards uncovers new details of Diana's life and her search for love; of her family background; and of a betrayal, historic in its outcome. What the public did not know at the time of her storybook wedding was the true story of Diana's troubled childhood - of the cold, autocratic grandfather who disdained her father, who was himself an abusive husband obsessed with having a son to inherit the Spencer wealth and title.".

"When Diana married Prince Charles, she joined the equally troubled House of Windsor, and was caught up in a plot Shakespearean in its deception and eventual tragic ending. Anne Edwards paints a vivid portrait of a woman desperate in her marriage, fearing for her life, who became devious - and often brilliant - in the moves she played in a treacherous royal chess game."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 343-347) and index.
