As a member of ‘The Firm’, as the Royal family were known, she was never allowed to express her unhappiness publicly. The book was partly created from transcripts of taped interviews between Diana and Morton. At the time Diana agreed to co-operate with Andrew Morton on a book about her life, she was at a very low ebb and feeling sad, lonely, and unhappy. Like me, most people know something of Princess Diana’s disaster of a marriage to Prince Charles. In what is bound to be seen as the definitive study of the Princess in the most crucial period of her short life, In Pursuit of Love provides the last word on one of the best-loved figures of our era. Friends, advisers and colleagues, interviewed now, more than six years after her death, feel a far greater freedom in speaking of her than once they did. Figures such as her sometime lover James Hewitt, her butler Paul Burrell and Prince Charles's valet Michael Fawcett have emerged, while intriguing comments that Diana made to Morton in taped conversations, and which have never been published, become extremely important in view of subsequent events. This is even more apparent in the light of the events that have occurred since her death, which have been played out under the harsh gaze of the media, once again catapulting Diana's name back into the spotlight.
Yet, it was not the full story, nor could it have been, given the circumstances at the time. Later revealed as having been written with the Princess's full co-operation, this world bestseller is now widely regarded as her official biography. When Andrew Morton's world-famous biography, Her True Story was first published, it caused a media frenzy, severely jolted the royal family and the Palace hierarchy, and shook the British Establishment to its foundations. The definitive book on Diana, Pricess of Wales's last years, by the biographer she herself chose. Diana in Pursuit of Love includes previously unpublished details from the Diana-Morton tapes, it is based on wide-ranging research, and new and exclusive interviews.
