The Day Diana Died

Extended Synopsis

Where were you the day Diana died? Like the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the tragic death of the Princess of Wales on August 31, 1997, is one of those defining benchmarks in history—an event that profoundly touched millions worldwide. The Day Diana Died offers a spellbinding, moment-by-moment account of the last day in the life of Diana. Over the sixteen years following her storybook wedding to Prince Charles, she had evolved from "Shy Di" into arguably the most famous person in the world, yet much of the human drama that swirled around her final hours remained veiled in mystery.

In this compelling narrative, veteran journalist Christopher Andersen draws on important sources, many of whom agreed to speak for the first time, to re-create in vivid and startling detail the events leading up to that fateful night in Paris. Diana was, in every sense, a force of nature that could be neither dismissed nor ignored. This bittersweet saga of triumph, love, and loss captures those last days when her star never shone brighter, effectively evoking the beauty, grace, heartache, and compassion that made her one of the most compelling historical figures of our time.
