“She was the best mother in the world,” said Princes William and Harry at Diana’s 10-year memorial. “Entertaining and persuasive,” (Publishers Weekly) this is the first big book about the private Diana, the mother of two princes.
“Royal fans will devour this well-paced biography that gives new insight into the House of Windsor. You’ll tear through it by sundown and walk away thinking about the Princess of Wales and her two sons with new perspective .” –Men’s Journal
From the moments William and Harry are born into the House of Windsor, they become their young mother’s whole world.
I’ve got two very healthy, strong boys. I realize how incredibly lucky I am, Diana reminds herself every morning. But even the Princess of Wales questions, Am I a good mother?
Diana’s faced with a seemingly impossible challenge: one son destined to be King of England and another determined to find his own way. She teaches them to honor royal tradition, even while daring to break it.
“Sometimes I’d like a time machine…” Diana says as William and Harry grow up, never imagining they’d have less than a lifetime together. Even after she’s gone, her sons follow their mother’s lead—and her heart. As the years pass and William and Harry grow into adulthood and form families of their own, they carry on Diana’s name, her likeness, and her incomparable spirit.
“James Patterson applies his writerly skills to real-life history with novelistic style” (People) in this deeply personal and revealing biography of the world’s most storied family, from the world’s #1 bestselling author.

Critic reviews
“Is there anything more to be said about the shattered family of Diana, Princess of Wales? Patterson thinks yes—and proves it…Patterson does something different. He treats the princess as a person and tells the story of a mother from her perspective. In fascinating morsels, we learn of the empathetic heart underneath the diamond brooches and couture gowns…the book leaves us with the heartbreaking question of what might have been.”—Kirkus
"Cinematic ... Full of intriguing anecdotes and sharp character observations, this is an entertaining and persuasive study of the royal family."—Publishers Weekly

Dear Listener,
Why did I decide to tell this story?
"'She was simply the best mother in the world,' is what William and Harry said of their mom in a speech they wrote together. There have been dozens of biographies and thousands upon thousands of articles about her, but the reason I wrote this book is that her life as a mother was both incredibly emotional and dramatic, and it has been undertold. Diana broke from royal tradition and did not pass the boys off to nannies. This is the story of how she was their mother and all that happened to her, and to them, as a result. It is also a compelling story of what happened to William and Harry as a result of their mother’s untimely death. I’ve never written a true-life story so compelling, and so moving. She was more than a candle in the wind. Diana was, and should remain, a beacon for us all." – James Patterson, writer of
