But before stepping out of the royal carriage at St. Paul's she spent nineteen years as the shy, awkward Lady Diana Spencer. How did the aristocrat ugly duckling become a beautiful royal swan? Bestselling author Wendy Holden explores the astonishing backstory and young adulthood of the ultimate royal celebrity. Britain, 1961: A bouncing blond baby is born to Viscount Althorp, heir to the Spencerearldom, and his wife Frances. Diana grows up amid the fallout of her parents' messy divorce. She struggles at school. Moving to London, she takes menial jobs as a cleaner and nanny. Her refuge throughout is romantic novels. She dreams of falling in loveand being rescued by a handsome prince. In royal circles, there is concern about the Prince of Wales. Nearly 30, Charles remains unmarried; the right girl needs to be found, and fast. She must be young, aristocratic and come to the royal family without any past liaisons. The eighteen-year-old Diana Spencer is just about the only candidate. Her desperation to be loved dovetails perfectly with royal desperation for a bride. But as the ruthless Palace machine starts up, there are challenges for Diana to face, from press intrusion to a certain Mrs. Parker Bowles. Can her romantic dream survive the forces that shape her into a global icon?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Diana, $c Princess of Wales, $d 1961-1997 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 85833 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Holden, Wendy, 1965- $t Princess $b First edition. $d New York : Berkley, 2023 $z 9780593437315 $w (DLC) 2023007815 941 $a 10 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20240411010155.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012916.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012604.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20240116010806.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240103010607.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014837.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20231202013926.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231102010439.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230902011304.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230725010116.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9586F3342AB011EEB48EB53624ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
