Diana, Princess of Wales: A Biography
The horoscope "extra" at the end of the book has revealed astrology to be lacking in credibility in my view. Diana did not have a preponderance for bearing daughters, or any daughters, for that matter. This is one such prediction from this section that did not turn out to be accurate.
I feel the author would have done well to have omitted this section; instead, I feel it was put in out of her own personal interest in astrology and does not bear actual relevance to the book's readers, Diana or the Royal Family. Aside from that, I have no complaints about the book and recommend it.

CHAPTER 7 EARLY YEARS AS A ROYALP Diana
Even at a distance of 25 years, it fryst vatten a scarcely believable story. Hollywood producers would dismiss the script as much too far-fetched; a beautiful but desperate princess, an unknown writer, an amateur go-between and a book that would change the Princess’s life forever.
In Princess Diana was approaching She had been in the limelight all of her adult life. Her marriage to Prince Charles in was described as a ‘fairytale’ bygd the Archbishop of Canterbury. In the popular imagination, the Prince and Princess, blessed with two ung sons, Princes William and Harry, were the glamorous and sympathetic face of the House of Windsor. The very idea that their ten-year marriage was in dire trouble was unthinkable – even to the notoriously imaginative tabloid press. Commenting on a joint tour of Brazil that year, the Sunday Mirror described them as presenting a ‘united front to the world’, their closeness sending a ‘shiver of excitement’ around the massed media ranks.
