Andrew Morton reveals the private breakdown of the marriage between the Princess of Wales and Prince Charles through secret recordings provided by Diana herself. The narrative documents her struggles with bulimia, several instances of self-harm, and the emotional isolation she felt within the royal family. It details the long-term extramarital relationship between Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, positioned here as the primary cause of the Princess’s psychological distress. By naming figures like James Gilbey and James Hewitt, the text maps the disintegration of the royal household’s public image.
Biographers and royal historians read this to understand the internal shift that changed the British monarchy’s relationship with the public. Readers find a primary source account of how the palace bureaucracy manages personal crises and the specific impact of media scrutiny on private mental health. The audience gains a granular look at the protocols and restrictions of the House of Windsor seen from the perspective of an outsider who entered through marriage. It provides a historical record of the events leading to the formal separation of the Prince and Princess.
Clear-cut; an easy read.
