Famed in England and throughout the world for her delicate beauty and style, she was at 19 the shy but dazzling fiancée of Charles, Prince of Wales; at 30, the sympathetic figure in an unhappy marriage; and at 36, the tragic victim of a fatal car crash.

Diana’s life and death is a story that promises to add a uniquely poignant note to late 20th century history.
