The Queen & Di: The Untold Story

Ingrid Seward

Dec 2011 · Skyhorse

About this ebook

As the editor of Majesty magazine, Ingrid Seward has developed professional and personal relationships with the royal family. We discover a surprising portrait of the English monarch and the princess, contradicting what the press has previously reported: a fragile Diana battling an unfeeling mother-in-law. We learn that the Queen tried to welcome Diana into the royal family and that Di failed to grasp the hand of friendship. From the princess herself we hear details of what went on between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. And we glimpse much more about the inner workings of the extended royal family. Entertaining and factual, The Queen & Di stands apart and above the countless, often inaccurate, accounts published to date about Diana. Ingrid Seward reveals for the first time the true relationship between two important women of the 20th century.

Ratings and reviews

Very much a smear campaign against Diana. In one passage it tells a story of Charles playing the cello for a former teacher only to have Diana play the piano in order to upstage him, but if you watch the video on Youtube, the teacher clearly asks her and she does it reluctantly. It was still interesting to see the other side after reading Andrew Morton's book, but the spelling errors and typos are terrible. It seems like the letter D is also in most of the typos as well. Still interesting nonetheless.

No new revelations or surprises here. More than an acceptable level of typing/spelling errors throughout the text.

Typos and poor spelling make for an appalling read.
