Whether or not all of this is true, it's apparent that Ms. Whitney is not a fan of the late Diana. She paints her as a fairly unstable selfish girl. It's also apparent that Charles and Diana should NEVER have been married. Hindsight is 20-20, isn't it? After reading several books on the Royal Family, it is hard to know what is real, what is made up, and what is just a lie. This book does paint the four 'Women of Windsor' (Both Queens Elizabeth, Princess Margaret and Princess Ann) as much more human that maybe the 'Palace' would like us to see them. I would have liked more on Princess Margaret, but I know there are books out there all about her. If you are a fan or not of the Royal Family-this is somewhat interesting.

Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, and Princess Anne are strong Windsor women who have kept the monarchy going for more than a hundred years. Is the monarchy in danger because the up-coming royals are cretins (author's word)? Interesting book, but written before Kate Middleton joined the family.

Interesting read on the "Women of Windsor". A nice read on the women in the Windsor family, Princess Margaret, The Queen, The Queen Mum, and Princess Anne the Princess Royal. Good overall looks at each of their lives and a nice read overall.

This book was okay. I found it a bit tedious to read. I am fascinated with British monarchy, especially since we lived in Europe for three years and were able to travel to England on several occasions. As I said, this is a good book, but I enjoyed "The Six Wives of Henry the VII" better.
