The publication in 1992 of Andrew Morton's number-one national bestseller, Diana: Her True Story, shook the British royal family to its very foundations. The book's many revelations - that Prince Charles had been having a long-term affair, that the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales had been a sham, that the Princess had been suffering from an eating disorder and had made several halfhearted suicide attempts - were initially greeted with disbelief.

Andrew Morton exposes the infighting and intrigue behind this most sensational royal crisis, as well as Diana'sprivate thoughts on her retirement from public life, remarriage, the men in her life, and the grooming of Prince William for his future role. Illustrated with 32 pages of remarkable color photographs, Diana: Her New Life is a revealing, explosive look at the struggle of one of t
