As Princess Diana struggled with her position in the Royal Family, she revealed intimate details about her life to biographer Andrew Morton. This series of audio tapes shared with the author formed the basis of his bestselling 1992 book, Diana: Her True Story, which was released just six months before Diana and Charles announced their separation. At the time, Princess Diana denied collaborating with Morton, but there was one member of the Royal Family who didn’t buy it.
In his new biography of the late Queen—serialized in the Daily Mail this week—Hugo Vickers explored how Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip reacted to the breakdown of their eldest son’s marriage. When it came to the release of Morton's tell-all, Vickers wrote that “it seems almost incredible that so many people accepted Diana’s denial of any involvement in the book.”
