I didn't realize how short this book was. I think that it is a good primer on Princess Diana. I will be looking for a more detailed book at some point.

I love Princess Diana - she has been a role model in my life since I was a little girl. Her story truly touches people's hearts. I will never stop reading stories of her beautiful life and this one was wonderful. I didn't give it the full five stars only because this book was very generic and a little bit too sad. Her life is something to be celebrated. While she endured her own tragedies, she spoke to the people, she loved people and she devoted her life to helping people. We miss you, Princess Diana.

“It seems the whole world was in love with Diana, except her husband.”

Diana, Prinses van het volk is een ouder boek, die mij regelmatig bezorgt wordt. Vrienden en kennissen weten van mijn koninklijke boeken verzameling. Natuurlijk bezorg ik het boek verder aan andere liefhebber, ik heb aan 1 exemplaar genoeg. Dit boek is vlak na haar overlijden uitgebracht. In de boekhandel niet meer verkrijgbaar. Op sommige sites wordt het boek wel aangeboden tegen belachelijke hoge prijzen. Wat dat betreft meer kans bij de kringloop, daar duikt het boek veelvuldig op.

Terug naar het boek zelf : Diana, Prinses van het volk geeft een beknopt beeld van het leven van de prinses. Het boek is voor de volgers van Diana weinig vernieuwend. Het boek belicht haar jeugd waarbij ook vele foto’s uit haar jeugd voorbij komen. Natuurlijk ontbreekt de verloving, de weg naar huwelijk niet. De mooiste foto’s van het huwelijk komen voorbij. Het leek zo een sprookjeshuwelijk.. Ja dat bleek dus een sprookje te zijn. Verder vertelt het boek het verhaal van onvermoeibare werk voor de goede doelen, haar liefdevolle rol als moeder.

Zoals gezegd het boek het weinig nieuws te melden, maar toch is het een boek die in je Diana verzameling thuis hoort. Zeker omdat het een Nederlandse uitgave is. En laten we eerlijk wezen, veel Nederlandse vertalingen verschijnen of zijn er niet verschenen. Het Engelse aanbod is vele malen groter. Het boek oogt goed verzorgt, mooi glanzend papier waarop de mooiste foto’s zijn afgedrukt. Valt er meer te vertellen over het boek. Nee eigenlijk niet, ik denk dat iedereen die het boek leest en bekijkt zijn eigen herinneringen heeft aan Diana, Prinses van het volk.

Looking over this book again I was reminded of the powerful image Princess Diana presented to the world. The information in this book is not new in 2020 but still an interesting walk down memory lane. The color photos of the clothes, I loved her clothes. She certainly set the style bar for me and my friends. I miss her.

A quick read but an important one. If you were around at the time of her passing you'll know why this book is important. It's about the most human of people in a terrible cage. Through all her trials, Diana Spencer should have been ambassador for the human race. Fair warning: even if you aren't British or old enough to remember that day, you'll cry at the end of this book.

I really like hearing about Diana and her life. When I was little I admired her so much and thought it would be a good time to listen to this audiobook.

It covers a good portion of her life in flashed of the most important things that changed her and made her who she was.

[Heidi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was super short and... fine? I listened to it in hopes of getting more info on Diana, but honestly this was full of broad strokes rather than the details I was hoping for. I’ve been watching the CNN documentary, and wanted to try a book, but I’m not really sure where to start.

[Megan Will · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cried all over again reliving her short, but amazing life.

I love anything about Princess Di however at times the book felt like a gossip column about her. Mostly enjoyable all in all.

[Ruby Park · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wanted a bit more information and/or stories. I feel like I have to read another book to know more

[Blythe · Rating 4 out of 5]

A rather comprehensive summary of her life for some to whet their Royal Whistle.

[Janelle Metzler · Rating 3 out of 5]

A life taken too soon. Princess Diana was the epitome of class and grace. A wonderful mother to William and Harry, a champion for the sick and underprivileged, and loved by the people around the world.

I enjoyed listening to this audio overview of Princess Diana's life. As a little girl I got up to watch her wedding and as a young adult I remember the somber day when I learned of her death.

She touched so many lives near and far and will always be remembered.

[Jim Marsh · Rating 4 out of 5]

paints a picture of a woman of contradictions. she had a fairy. tale wedding but a cold marriage. the media were equally a weapon wielded by her in promoting causes and against her. does a great job of taking us through her story and her impact.

[Beth · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book in one night. There was alot of information that was not reported correctly in the news. And alot that was true that wasn't reported

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really loved all the photos. The information was really nice. Indeed, it's a great tribute to her.

[Kaila · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was so sad, I felt like all the author talked about was how unhappy she was her whole life. She was an amazing lady who gave back to so many in need, that part was really inspiring.

[Vanessa · Rating 4 out of 5]

a very nice book on the tribute to the one and only Lady Di.

[Valeta Prendergast · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful life in photos.

[Bekah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chock full of beautiful and never before seen photos, this book summarizes the tragic story of the lovely and misunderstood people's princess.

[Missy Muffett · Rating 1 out of 5]

Overly simplistic & biased version about Princess Diana's life. Nothing of historical worthiness in this tabloid book.

[Rona Jade · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book <3
