Diana, William, and Harry: The Heartbreaking Story of a Princess and Mother

Product Information

In fascinating morsels, we learn of the empathetic heart underneath the diamond brooches and couture gowns.

She finds her place at the 175-foot-long dining table, lavishly set with the queen’s gilt-edge porcelain and centuries-old pieces from King George IV’s Grand Service. James Patterson has created more enduring fictional characters than any other novelist writing today with his Alex Cross, Michael Bennett, Women’s Murder Club, Private, NYPD Red, Daniel X, Maximum Ride, and Middle School series. As she fell in love, first with Prince Charles and then with her sons, William and Harry, the world fell in love with the young royal family—Diana most of all. I wasn't sure what to think when I saw this was "written" by James Patterson (or, rather, is churned out by his "writing" factory) but decided to give it a try. This year alone, 22 James Patterson titles will be published, including a biography, "Diana, William, and Harry," that explores the late princess' relationship with her sons.

At only 12 years old, he couldn't understand how his mother—who took him to soccer games and snuck him out every now and then for a burger or a movie—could mean so much to so many people he'd never even met. And that gives me positivity and strength to know that I can face anything the world can throw at me. In the years following Princess Diana’s fatal car crash on August 31, 1997, her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, remained notably silent about her tragic death, refusing to make any sort of official statement about their grief. Diana steps back to admire her handiwork: a sign reading CHIEF CHICK that she’s affixed to her bedroom door.

The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.And another wonderful [story], which I loved, was the queen saying she doesn't understand the way Diana was operating as a mother.

With the sad death of Queen Elizabeth, it was more than timely that I had the chance to listen to experiences that involved the royal family. This was not what I expected; the title and synopsis were misleading as this is really just a timeline touching on key events in Diana's life, and then later in her sons' lives, and not a deeper look at the relationship between Diana and her boys as I assumed and hoped for.If you don't know much about Diana and her sons or you are head-over-heels about his writing, this book may be for you. If you are like me, having an overwhelming love and respect for Diana and a feeling of contempt and disgust towards Charles, this is the book for you. For years, even after the Princess's tragic death in 1997, Princes William and Harry were referred to as ‘Diana’s Boys’. The charity focuses on raising awareness of mental health issues and seeking treatment for the homeless, military veterans, and young people.
