More about the book
Diana, The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of York were close friends and friendly rivals, but above all, sisters-in-law. From ordinary girls to princes' wives, the real-life story was just like a fairy-tale. Yet these two young women had married to become not only royal, but overnight superstars. In this absorbing book, Nicholas Courtney goes beyond the glamour of royalty to investigate a unique relationship. They have popularized British royalty throughout the world, placing it at the very centre of the media spotlight. Some claim that they now represent little more than entertainment value, while others argue that they have modernized the Royal Family, making them increasingly relevant to present-day Britain and the Commonwealth. One thing is certain, behind the marketing hype, the Princess and the Duchess have engineered something of a palace revolution and have fashioned the image of the monarchy for many years to come.
