Diana, William, and Harry: The Heartbreaking Story of a Princess and Mother

Product Information

In May 2016, Prince William, Princess Kate, and Prince Harry launched Heads Together, a mental health initiative. Getty Images The writing is crisp and clear. The characters are inspiring, hardworking, and driven. And the novel is a compelling tale of the highs and lows involved in being a member of the most popular monarchy in the world. As she fell in love, first with Prince Charles and then with her sons, William and Harry, the world fell in love with the young royal family - Diana most of all. Arguably the most heart-breaking part of the fictional conversation is when Prince Harry asks his mother when she’s coming home and she matter-of-factly says, “I’m coming home tomorrow and I’m seeing you both tomorrow night,” unaware of what is about to transpire. Her sons put on a united front at Thursday’s event, entering the garden in conversation together before making their way over to greet their aunts and uncle – their mother’s siblings Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Lady Jane Fellowes and Earl Spencer. Also in attendance was the statue’s sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, garden designer Pip Morrison as well as members of the statue committee.

How would the writers know about intimidate details unless both these authors interviewed unless they were interviewed by family, friends, employees employed by the monarch, etc. I am not a monarch lover or hater, I'm an objective follower. I was hoping for an in-depth and intimate glimpse into Diana and her relationship with William and Harry. I was hoping to read new info about Diana’s early days and becoming a mother. Then wanted to know about William’s personality and Harry’s as well. This was discussed a little, but not much. Just felt more like reading their resume. There were a few interesting stories, but not much I hadn’t heard. It didn’t seem as if the author knew much about their internal lives and relationship to each other. They were known to be close and then had a falling out, but you never know why. That is not discussed in the book. I feel Mr. Patterson is now thinks he's big for his breeches. Has a new style. He now thinks he has an an audience in non-fiction. He also must think he is fooling the general public. He may, but not me. The book gave me a bad taste in my mouth. This book is not authorized by William or Harry, or Princess Diana's estate. There aren't any interviews. Everything I read I already knew or could have done a Google search. Twenty-five years after her tragic death, James Patterson tells the heartbreaking true story of Princess Diana's life as a mother and a global icon.What a talent, what a career, what a life, and what a treat to relive it all with this most down-to-earth of demigods. James Patterson tends to publish one or two non-fiction books, and truth be told, I don’t usually read them. However, this year I have broken new ground. I not only read his own personal memoirs – “The Stories of My Life” – during the summer, but I have just finished his take on the story of Princess Diana and her two sons, William, and Henry. The highly anticipated engagement was the first time the brothers have been seen together publicly since the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral in April. William and Harry lived at Kensington Palace with their mother before she died in a car crash in 1997.

With the sad death of Queen Elizabeth, it was more than timely that I had the chance to listen to experiences that involved the royal family. I have no doubt that many other books are or will be written that focus on the British Monarchy. Perhaps the area they’ve emphasized most, in part because of Diana, is mental health. During a 1995 interview with the BBC, she talked about self-harm and depression: “When no one listens to you, or you feel no one’s listening to you, all sorts of things start to happen. For instance, you have so much pain inside yourself that you try and hurt yourself on the outside because you want help, but it’s the wrong help you’re asking for.”Upon returning to the royal estate, they were greeted by hundreds of floral tributes and notes that had been laid in front of the castle’s gates. I was about the same age as Princess Diana when the courtship with Charles started. I think she was a couple years younger. Last year official spokesperson for The Crown told Metro.co.uk: ‘We’ve always made it clear that The Crown is a fictional drama inspired by real events.’
