A Different DianaBook shows her life not unhappy as people think.
LONDON-Nearly four years after Britain's Princess Diana died in a Paris car crash, most people remember her unhappy childhood, a loveless marriage, infidelity and a brief affair. But British journalists Tim Clayton and Phil Craig, who had a frequent view of Charles and Diana, insist her life wasn't quite like that. Their book, Diana: Story of a Princess, has been published in a British tabloid days before what would have been Diana's 40th birthday on July 1.
So much for her loveless marriage to Prince Charles: “When they looked at each other, they looked as though they wanted to rip the clothes off each other. They looked so much in love. I am convinced of it to this day.” veteran newspaper photographer Arthur Edwards told the authors about the couple's early tour to Australia.
Photographer Ken Lennox, whose telephoto snaps of the pregnant princess in a bikini outraged much of the country before Prince William's 1982 birth, agreed with Edwards.
They were “a very happy couple together”, Lennox is quoted as saying. “They went into the water and kissed each other. He carried her out of the water. She threw a towel over his head and they raced up the sand.”
An unidentified senior member of the royal household reportedly said the same. They were not unhappy at the beginning-just stormy; loving at times and confused at times, he reportedly said.
The book also says that some who knew Diana felt she exaggerated the unhappiness of her childhood.
The book includes an unusual number of quotes from identified sources.
One of them, astrologer Felix Lyle, describes a visit from Diana when she was trying to decide whether to participate in Andrew Morton's.1992 book, “Diana, Her True Story.”
This publication of her side of the marriage breakdown, with its deeply unattractive portrayal of the heir to the British throne, sealed her fate within the royal family and led to separation in 1992 and divorce in 1996.
Lyle is quoted as saying Diana told him about her marriage and of her reservations about taking part in the book.
“But she wanted revenge--there's no question about that… I think she was bitterly, bitterly hurt and would see the tearing down of the royal family as a perfectly justifiable end.”
