Diana: Her True Story (book)
Authorised biography of Diana, Princess of Wales by Andrew Morton
Diana: Her True Story (later published as Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words) is an authorised biography of Diana, Princess of Wales, written by Andrew Morton. The book was published in the United Kingdom in hardcover format on 16 June 1992 by Michael O'Mara Books.[1] The book was controversial as it detailed out Diana's suicidal unhappiness within her marriage and her struggles with depression.[1] At the time of publication, Buckingham Palace denied any cooperation between the princess and Morton,[1] but it was later revealed that Diana was the main source behind the book's content.
Background and writing
In October 1986, while escorting the Princess of Wales on an official royal visit to St Thomas' Hospital where she opened a new CT scanner in James Colthurst's X-ray department, he met royal journalist Andrew Morton.[2] Colthurst was a "middle-man" between Diana and Morton, who wrote the biography on the princess.[
