“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.

“James Patterson applies his writerly skills to real-life history with novelistic style” (People) in this deeply personal and revealing biography of the world’s most storied family, from the world’s #1 bestselling author.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Is there anything more to be said about the shattered family of Diana, Princess of Wales? Patterson thinks yes—and proves it…Patterson does something different. He treats the princess as a person and tells the story of a mother from her perspective. In fascinating morsels, we learn of the empathetic heart underneath the diamond brooches and couture gowns…the book leaves us with the heartbreaking question of what might have been.”―Kirkus

"Cinematic ... Full of intriguing anecdotes and sharp character observations, this is an entertaining and persuasive study of the royal family."―Publishers Weekly

“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

Wonderful Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2023

Verified Purchase

I typically don’t enjoy reading books about the same subject, but thought this one would be a wonderful read and it was. For as thick as it is, the pages fly by. The content is well written, interesting and familiar.

So many happy times from their childhood to the horrible loss of their beautiful mother. She raised such wonderful boys she would be so proud of.

What struck me was how Prince Harry was so close to his brother and sister in law before his wife entered the picture. He was so loving and confident and well respected. That all seems to have changed since Meghan Markle. I hope for Prince Harry’s sake it turns out well and he returns to a time when he seemed so much happier and without such a negative influence surrounding him.

Pleasant read

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2022

Diana, William, and Harry by James Patterson is a very timely book, published soon before the 25th Anniversary of Diana's tragic death in 1997. There are really nice photographs of Diana and Charles at their wedding; William and Harry; and photos of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children; and Harry and Meghan and their children. It begins with the story of Diana's childhood , her wedding to Prince Charles, the births of her sons, her royal tours and work, the marital difficulties, and eventual divorce and separation, and the effects of Charles and Diana's respective television interviews (Charles in 1994 and Diana in 1995). After Diana's death, the author writes about William and Harry as they complete their educations, serve in the military, and espouse some of their mother's causes. The story of William and Harry is told from their births to ca. Summer 2022. Patterson recounts the story based on resources including interviews of Diana, Charles, and their sons, among other sources. Patterson's book is very positive and upbeat, compared to some of the recent books about the royals. There are some quibbles, for instance the Spencer Tiara is passed down the line to the eldest son, it is doubtful Princess Charlotte would inherit it. The current Earl Spencer would need to lend the tiara to a relative for use-- to his daughters and his sons' future wives and to his nieces and nephews. Diana had the Spencer tiara lent to her by Earl John Spencer (her father) to wear at her wedding to Charles. Prince Charles is said to have applauded (according to the author) Charles Spencer's speech about Diana at the funeral; which is doubtful because Charles and Spencer were not getting along that day and Charles had negative feelings about the eulogy and Charles was influential in having Diana's HRH removed in the divorce settlement. I also think there should have been more coverage of Diana's relationship with Dr. Khan; they had a serious relationship and Diana was the one who broke up with him because he did not want to "go public" with the relationship. After she died, he told the media he loved her and had tried to contact her late in August 1997. This book is recommended to those interested in the late Princess.

Good read

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I didn’t know what to expect since so much has been written about this family over the years. However, there apparently was a lot more to learn. You get an overwhelming sense of the vast difference between perception and reality and how often one is mistaken for the other. I suppose, as with any public role one puts oneself out there for the private sector to judge, but the readiness of people to judge without charity as a first response is difficult to read about page after page. There was much of that in the life of Diana and ultimately in the lives of her sons as we're all aware these days. This was a heartbreaking book to read.

Where’s the beef?

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

The book boasts an intriguing structure. The short chapters mimic the paparazzi’s flashing camera bulbs.

Unfortunately, those momentary rays of light capture nothing substantial and leave the reader unenlightened. The prose captures the surface of the story, but never delves into heavier topics. Things such as Diana’s self-harm during her pregnancy with William (which should be a salient point in a book focused on her and her sons) are never mentioned. The effect of Charles and Diana’s separate bombshell tv interviews on their sons is ignored, and Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview merits one or two sentences.

Why go to the trouble of writing a book that captures nothing? Pure profit for a big name, I reckon. Borrow this one from your library, folks.
