Dianaworld

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

A brilliant new cultural history of the Queen of Hearts

For more than forty years, Diana, Princess of Wales, has been mythologized to the most extraordinary degree. Adored and lionized by some, ridiculed and traduced by others, Diana has always commanded a cultural presence unmatched by any other member of the royal family.

In Dianaworld, Edward White offers both a portrait of the princess and a group portrait of those who existed in her orbit-from her royal in-laws, her servants, and the dilapidated ranks of the British aristocracy from which she rose, to drag performers, artists, Britain's ethnic minorities, and the Gen Z superfans who maintain her status as a cultural icon.

Drawing on a wide array of sources and perspectives, many never used in books about Diana or the royal family, White vividly recreates the world Diana lived in, explores the growth of her global reputation, and illuminates her lasting impact on the world she left behind.
