The Queen and Di

A well-balanced mix of nonfiction, general fiction, romance and mystery in the lightweight softcover format preferred by many readers. Selections are a blend of international authors, chosen for the broadest appeal. There are also some carefully selected backlist titles by proven favorite authors.The complex relationship between the Queen and her daughter-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales, is examined in detail for the first time. Bestselling author Ingrid Seward charts the sometimes touching and often fraught association between two powerful women from the moment Diana stepped over the Queen's threshold at Balmoral as a weekend guest in the 1980s to her death in 1997. Explosive and revealing, this book describes how the Queen mostly stood alone in her defense of Diana, although in the end she came to fear her -- and her effect on the institution of monarchy.
