This contradiction endeared her to women everywhere. Diana's death at age 36 is a mournful touchstone for our era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During her 70 years on the throne, few got to know the Queen well, but there is one body of work that sheds new light on her thoughts, personality and the issues that really concerned her: the Queen's own speeches. For many years, the Queen's Christmas address was the most-watched programme on television on Christmas Day, and millions regularly tuned in to hear what she had to say. Now, in this wonderful, intimate portrait of Her Majesty, Ingrid Seward uses the Queen's speeches as a starting point to provide a revealing insight into the character of the woman who reigned over us since the days when Churchill was prime minister. Starting with her first-ever broadcast, in December 1940, when the teenaged Princess Elizabeth addressed a war-torn nation, right through the annus horribilis, and on into the 21st century, the book highlights the most important moments in her life and how she responded to them. Based on in-depth research and interviews with many of those who knew the Queen best, this book sheds new light on the life and career of our much-missed monarch. Renowned as one of the most authoritative writers on royal matters, Ingrid Seward, the editor of Majesty magazine, has written a charming and fascinating portrait that will be cherished by all who read it.

Download or read book Lady Diana written by Dr. Ramnath Sonawane and published by . This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This play is about Lady Diana. It depicts some real life incidences and some imaginary scenes to sound it more dramatic. Except Lady Diana and Dodi, who are no more.There are six main characters from the Royal Family. The fairytale marriage between the Princess Diana and the Prince George ends with the divorce due to his affair with his first love Pamela. When Diana discovers this, feels distressed and betrayed, she tries to find solace in the charity, the purpose which was dear to her heart even before her marriage. In fact, she marries the Prince with that noble intention only. She does not get the desired support of from the Prince and the Royal Family. She tries to commit suicide. She feels frustrated and lonely in the Palace, whereas, feels happy and homely with the common people who are the victims of war and some social evils. The scene depicting the dialogues between the Lady Diana and Dr. Freud suggests the inner conflict at the sub conscious level. She consciously decides to be a commoner! As she was the media attraction, she was often spied and chased by the paparazzi. During the course of charitable work, she comes across some rich and influential people. She falls in love with some of them. The media gave wide publicity to her personal life which proved to be damaging to the Royal Family. The marriage ultimately ended in Divorce. After divorce, her decision to marry the Egyptian millionaire's son invited wrath of the Royal Family. The Destiny played its role and before her remarriage, both of them died in the road accident. . The sub plot relates to the marriage and divorce between the Duke and the Duchess. It is a perfect foil to the main plot as it depicts the estranged Duchess seeking divorce from the Duke who is tolerant enough to accept her extra marital affair for the sake of Royalty. On the other hand, in the main plot, Diana takes a conscious decision of divorce, sacrificing her title and even the right to Queenship. The dictum of the Shakespearean tragedy," the character is Destiny; we are ourselves the makers or the destroyers of our own fortune" is thus proved through the personality traits of the Lady Diana.

Download or read book Princess Diana the Lamb to the Slaughter written by Joy Daymon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-08-22 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born to privilege, living on the edge of the royal circle, Lady Diana Spencer assumed-like everyone else-that little adjustment would be needed to adapt to her new role, the Princess of Wales and future Queen of England. What everyone, including Diana, failed to factor in was that Charles, at age thirty-three, was not only a confirmed bachelor, surrounded from infancy with people to anticipate and provide his every need, he was also in a long-term, committed relationship. However, it was his duty to marry and provide an heir to the throne of England. Meanwhile, Diana, almost a generation younger, envisioned (as Edward VIII had) what a modern monarchy could be; how it could be relevant in today's complex society-a monarchy she was determined to have for her son. That these two forces-the status quo and the Modern England-should clash was inevitable, but no one was prepared for the cataclysmic climax in the story of the Queen England never had-Diana, Princess of Wales, the Lamb to the Slaughter.

Download or read book Queen of People s Hearts written by Michael W. Simmons and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales, triggered an unprecedented worldwide outpouring of grief from the public that adored her ever since she was first identified as the girlfriend of the Prince of Wales in 1981. Ever since August 31, 1997, people have struggled to account for the depth of the impact she seemed to have on people's hearts and minds. First the little girl who felt that she had disappointed her family by not being a boy, then the schoolgirl who preferred pranks to studying, then the shy kindergarten teacher who won the heart of Prince Charles, Diana's anonymity ended forever only a few weeks after she began dating the heir to the British throne. Over the next sixteen years, she lived her life in the public eye-a smiling, dutiful royal wife and mother, who eventually rocked the monarchy to its foundations by disclosing the details of her troubled marriage to the world, shining a light on the hidden life of the notoriously private royal family. This book examines the contrast between the private Diana and the public princess-the troubled yet radiant woman who believed that one must suffer in order to have compassion for others.

Download or read book Diana in Search of Herself written by Sally Bedell Smith and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first authoritative biography of one of the most fabled women of the twentieth century—Princess Diana—that paints an insightful and haunting portrait, a “chilling vision of loneliness, need, and untreated mental illness” (USA Today). “[Sally Bedell] Smith has done a remarkable job extracting what’s genuinely pertinent and interesting about Diana. . . . If you’re going to read one Diana book, this should be it.”—Newsweek For all that has been written about Diana—the books, the commemorative magazines, the thousands of newspaper articles—we have lacked a sophisticated understanding of the woman, her motivations, and her extreme needs. Most books have been exercises in hagiography or character assassination, sometimes both in the same volume. With Diana in Search of Herself, acclaimed biographer Sally Bedell Smith has written the first truly balanced and nuanced portrait of the Princess of Wales, in all her emotional complexity. Drawing on scores of exclusive interviews with Diana’s friends and associates, Smith explores the events and relationships that shaped the Princess, the flashpoints that sent her careening through life, her deep feelings of unworthiness, her view of men, and her perpetual journey toward a better sense of self. By making connections not previously explored, Diana in Search of Herself allows readers to see Diana as she really was, from her birth to her tragic death. Original in its reporting and surprising in its conclusions about the severity of Diana’s mental health problems, Diana in Search of Herself is the smartest and most substantive biography ever written about this mesmerizing woman. NOTE: This edition does not include photographs.
