He tries to wrap these in a nice package but as a grownup I am pretty much Diana: Closely Guarded Secret to give him a medal for tolerance. Whether intentional or not he paints the late Princess as the 'poor little rich girl', she is tortured by the press while on an private island holiday, while skiing at an exclusive Austrian resort, while spending a spa weekend, while shopping in Paris. He doesn't malign her, he offers lots of praise and complements for her work with the poor and sick. Her introducing her sons to the 'real world' and her kindness, often in private. I don't think this breaks any new ground in Diana lore. I have read many books about her, and this is most definitely one of the best. He didn't paint Diana as a saint, however, neither did he viciously malign her as so many others have done. It also didn't veer into fantasy land, as some other accounts have. This is a man who truly was with Diana nea 5 Stars. He did his very best to protect her and the boys which was his main Diana: Closely Guarded Secret, but was also a valuable friend and support for the Princess. Wharfe's compassion for the Princess as a person and Diana: Closely Guarded Secret all of the struggles that she went through shone throughout the book. Rather than paint her as a "mad cow" as others have done, he writes compassionately, Diana: Closely Guarded Secret and reiterates the stress that the Princess had to experience in her Diana: Closely Guarded Secret life. It truly was unfortunate that their working relationship had to end as seems to be the case during the early 90's with many of her staff and friends and I think, as with others that either left on their own accord, or were cast asidethat Diana truly lost a valuable ally and friend, as well as a pillar of strength, and someone who had a hearty dose of common sense - all things that she really needed during her venture into her new life as Diana, Princess of Wales. I know there was quite some fuss in the press when this book came out, but to be honest, it is certainly one of the nicer accounts about Diana - especially after having just finished reading "Shadows of a Princess" by her former private secretary, Patrick Jephson - an account which was tinged with bitterness, cynicism and the tone was at times, positively nauseating. I see no bitterness in this book, only a straightforward account of events, written cleanly and humblywhich was not only very interesting to read, but also amusing at times. I'd actually recommend reading this book after you've read as many of the other Diana books available, as it allows you an opportunity to compare accounts of the same events from different perspectives, and gives you a pretty good idea of which books were more fact than fiction, and vice versa. On several occasions, I found myself recalling something from another book, and would either see it confirmed by Wharfe, or at times, completely de-bunked. Although it was not bad, I'm surprised that people seem to think that this book is great. Ken Wharfe was Diana's Scotland Yard PPO personal protection officer for 6 years, and he did have the privilege of an insider that is why I was enthusiastic Diana: Closely Guarded Secret the book. However, I was let down multiple times. Ken is pretty much absorbed by himself, he takes every event and manages to make it about him.

Although, his admiration of Diana is clear but he Diana: Closely Guarded Secret seem to like her due to many reasons and Diana: Closely Guarded Secret the book I felt he was somewhat judgemental, and he really minimizes her role as merely a woman who is interested in charity and vindictive towards her husband.

  • Diana, Princess of Wales
    Diana, Princess of Wales The Lady Diana Frances Spencer (Diana Frances Mountbatten- Windsor, née Spencer) (1 July 1961–31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. From her marriage in 1981 to her divorce in 1996 she was styled Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. After her divorce in 1996, Diana ceased to be a Royal Highness and The Princess of Wales and instead was styled Diana, Princess of Wales. She was often called Princess Diana by the media and the public, but this was incorrect both during and after her marriage, as she was only ever a Princess by marriage, not by birth.' An iconic presence on the world- stage, Diana, Princess of Wales was noted for her pioneering charity work. Yet her philanthropic endeavours were overshadowed by her scandal-plagued marriage to Prince Charles. Her bitter accusations via friends and biographers of adultery, mental cruelty and emotional distress visited upon her riveted the world for much of the 1990s, spawning books, magazine articles and television movies. From the time of her engagement to the Prince of Wales in 1981 until her death in a car accident in 1997, the Princess was arguably the most famous woman in the world, the pre-eminent female celebrity of her generation: a fashion icon, an image of feminine beauty, admired and emulated for her high-profile involvement in AIDS issues and the international campaign against landmines. During her lifetime, she was often referred to as the most photographed person in the world. To her admirers, The Princess of Wales was a role model — after her death, there were even calls for her to be nominated for sainthood — while her detractors saw her life as a cautionary tale of how an obsession with publicity can ultimately destroy an individual.

The Cinderella who found her Prince Charming – or thought she did – and then entered the palace via the golden carriage. The fairytale but fraudulent wedding of the century, followed by that grim parable of death in the Paris tunnel.
