The Real
Diana Colin Campbell, Lady
Colin Campbell
| Say what you will about the author of The Real
Diana, but Lady Colin Campbell certainly is no practitioner of
noblesse oblige. This is a book for those who like their gossip
explicit and in large quantities, and who aren't bothered by little
details like verifiable attribution. (The vast majority of quotes in
this book are from "a member of the Wales household,"
"a lady-in-waiting," "a courtier," and most
ironically of all, "a friend.") Lady Campbell claims to be
the person whom Diana first approached to write the tell-all
biography that Andrew Morton was later to author. And though she
turned down that opportunity, this is her second publication to cash
in on her "insider status" (Diana
in Private was her first), which is seemingly a reference to
her title by marriage and a casual acquaintance with the princess.
With its paucity of named sources, it's probably impossible to
authoritatively separate fact from fiction in The
Real Diana, though it does seem that what with affairs,
petty vengeances, and temper tantrums, Di would have had little time
left for her courtly duties. Campbell's style is lively enough, and
she has some interesting insights into the modern British
aristocracy and its unconventional values. But are you truly curious
to learn not only the details of the late princess's lovers'
techniques, but also the names of the two therapists Diana went to
for colonic irrigation? --John Longenbaugh |
