This book has 6 short chapters, 192 pages and tons of photos. I always thought Princess Diana was so beautiful and I always loved her sense of fashion.
In the chapters, there are beautiful photographs along with a short description.
I still remember what I was doing the day the news reported that she’d been killed in a car accident. So young and so sad.

I have always been interested in Diana's life from the time I was in Junior High and watched part of her fairy tale wedding on TV. It was interesting to see so many pictures of her and to learn more about her life and the type of person she was. I really admire all she accomplished in her short life and the compassion she felt for people all over the world. I was impressed with friendships she struck up with young children who had been in hospitals, who she wrote to for years, until her passing. She had so many other things to do, but still took the time to touch one child or another's life. She was the right person to help people in this world at the right time.

It's sad to realize that but for her marriage to Prince Charles, Diana might still be with us today. This book gives us the Reader's Digest version of her life and death, including many beautiful photographs of Diana. It is a loving tribute to a beautiful person. To quote her brother, Charles Spencer, Diana was: "The very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty.

A perfect trip down memory lane — just full and long enough for an afternoon to spend with The People’s Princess.

Beautiful photographs, some details missing, some unnecessary personal commentaries made by the journalist about his meetings with Diana.

A beautiful collection of photos that make a great memory book. However, it was difficult to read due to the way it was edited. The photos should have been rearranged to allow for the text to flow.
