Portraits of a Princess: Travels with Diana

The dramatic public life of Diana, Princess of Wales, was enacted against a backdrop of exciting foreign destinations. These are inextricably linked to some of the most signficant events in her own journey. Who can forget the lonely princess at the Taj Mahal, the 'War of the Waleses' in South Korea, the glamorous Diana, darling of the Manhattan fundraisers, or the Queen of Hearts in an African refugee camp? These are some of the unforgettable images revisited in this book.

Patrick Jephson was Diana's closest aide and adviser during her years of greatest public fame and deepest personal crisis. He witnessed the disintegration of her marriage to Prince Charles and the negotiation of the royal divorce. He assisted her as she tried to establish a new life for herself, independent from the Royal family. In a series of interviews with those who knew Diana, Jephson investigates who supported Diana's mission...and who tried to obstruct it.

With 200 photographs by acclaimed royal photographer Kent Gavin - every one unique to this book - the memories of Diana are brought vividly to life. Together with candid, entertaining anecdotes and heart-warming accounts from those whose lives she touched, Travels with Diana is a visually stunning account of one of the world's most famous and tragic women.
