??She was the best mother in the world,? said Princes William and Harry at Diana??s 10-year memorial. ??Entertaining and persuasive,? (Publishers Weekly) this is the first big book about the private Diana, the mother of two princes.
??Royal fans will devour this well-paced biography that gives new insight into the House of Windsor. You??ll tear through it by sundown and walk away thinking about the Princess of Wales and her two sons with new perspective .? ??Men??s Journal
 
From the moments William and Harry are born into the House of Windsor, they become their young mother??s whole world. 
 
I??ve got two very healthy, strong boys. I realize how incredibly lucky I am, Diana reminds herself every morning. But even the Princess of Wales questions, Am I a good mother?  
 
Diana??s faced with a seemingly impossible challenge: one son destined to be King of England and another determined to find his own way.  She teaches them to honor royal tradition, even while daring to break it. 
 
??Sometimes I??d like a time machine?? Diana says as William and Harry grow up, never imagining they??d have less than a lifetime together. Even after she??s gone, her sons follow their mother??s lead??and her heart. As the years pass and William and Harry grow into adulthood and form families of their own, they carry on Diana??s name, her likeness, and her incomparable spirit.

I'm not fully sure what I was expecting upon completion of this book.....but this kind of, sort of, wasn't it.

I didn't learn anything new or groundbreaking (maybe because I am a Royal family NERD to the upteenth power). The "chapters" are really about a page and a half. And while it reads conversational in town, it feels like it is badly written (but I don't expect anything different from James Patterson)

I want a look into the Royal Family NOW...you know the whole Cambridge and Sussex family drama. Also, I really would like to know if Queen Elizabeth defrosted towards Camilla before she died. How do the boys (mostly William) feel about her? I mean, this book does hit on the fact that Diana wasn't the saint we have viewed her to be. She had her own roving eye as it were.

It is heartbreaking how she passed. And how the boys relationship has grown COLD over the years. But again, that was not brought up as I wanted. =/ ( )

This was great walk down memory lane for me, not that I am much of a royal fan but there is no question about the impact that they have on people's lives especially in Britian and the commonwealth. I remember watching Charles and Diana's wedding at school and it looked to me like it was the biggest event the world had seen till then. Diana was always on the covers of the fashion and people magazines during that period, the worlds most photographed woman! Then when she dies it was one of those moment where you will forever remember where you where and what you were doing at the time you heard the message. Having read Spare recently it was interesting to compare and contrast Harry's account of the times after his mums death till now. A must read for Anglophiles. ( )

I really enjoyed reading about Diana. She was such an amazing woman and so many details of her wonderful like I had forgotten. This part of the book was my favorite. After Diana's death the book continues with the boys and their life up to this point. The most amazing thing was I was reading the last few chapters when the Queen died. It really was so neat watching the TV's specials about the Queen's life while simultaneously reading how much the boys loved her and their very close relationship. ( )
