Book description
A brilliant, kaleidoscopic new cultural history of Diana, her many lives and the world she created'A wide-ranging cultural history of the former Princess of Wales... Dianaworld teems with striking, odd anecdotes that will be irresistible to anyone with an eye for Diana-related ephemera' - Katie Rosseinsky, IndependentIn February 1981 a 19-year-old nursery teacher's assistant overnight became globally famous. In a frenzy of excitement, jumping every barrier of language and class, a new, overwhelming icon was conjured up.This is a guide to Dianaworld - the extraordinary hall-of-mirrors through which one young woman, the world's media, the royal family, and everybody else stalked one another. Fashion-plate, breeder of heirs, role model, fantasy object, saint and sinner, Diana gripped the minds of millions of people in ways which were unique, complex and distressing. After her death, chased by paparazzi through a Paris traffic tunnel, an estimated 2.5 billion people watched her funeral.Edward White examines Princess Diana as the complex figure she was: a scion of a great aristocratic house, wife of the future king, mother of his heirs, an inspiration and delight to countless people for many years. And yet, of course: a human being inevitably and woefully underequipped either to deal with the horrors of the House of Windsor or control, or even lightly supervise, the Dianaworld she and others had created. This is a wonderful book, both admiring and incredulous, exuberant and melancholy.
