Associated Press
"I hug my children to death. I get into bed with them at night and hug them and say who loves them most in the whole wold, and they always say, 'Mummy.'"--Diana
That the beautiful, complicated Princess of Wales--arguably the most celebrated woman of the twentieth century--died so violently and so young was tragic. That she was a single mother leaving behind two emotionally vulnerable sons made Diana's death at 36 all the more heartbreaking. In this much-anticipated sequel to his No. 1 New York Times bestseller THE DAY DIANA DIED, Christopher Andersen draws on important sources--many speaking here for the first time--to paint this sympathetic yet often startling portrait of William and Harry, and reveal how their mother remains a constant presence in their lives. Among the revelations:
*New details about the hours and days after they lost their mother, how they coped in the wake of the tragedy, and who William still blames for the crash that killed Diana.
*How the young princes were caught in the crossfire of their parents' tempestuous, often brutal marriage, and what impact that continues to have on them as young men.
*The behind-the-scenes maneuvering by the Queen to mold her grandsons in the Windsor image, and her expectations of William as the future king.
*The undisclosed threats on the princes' lives and the recurring nightmare that still haunts William.
*Harry's Story: His hopes, dreams, and fears as he struggled with life in the shadow of his brother.
*The many young women both aristocratic and not who drifted in and out of the princes' lives before William and Harry, each found their soulmates--breaking with a thousand years of tradition to choose commoners Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle as their brides.
DIANA'S BOYS is more than the first comprehensive biography of the world's two most celebrated royals. Just as Andersen's bestsellers JACK AND JACKIE, JACKIE AFTER JACK, and THE DAY JOHN DIED allowed us to once again experience Camelot, readers will relive the tender relationship between Diana and her spirited offspring. This is the story of a mother who died too young and the remarkable young men who are her living legacy.
