Princess Diana : The Last Word

Princess Diana had One Confidante

During the last five years of her life, Princess Diana had one friend and confidante who was special to her. She was not part of Diana's social circle; she was not a family friend. That woman was Simone Simmons, a healer who devoted herself to the troubled Princess.

Unique Bond with Princess Diana

Simone Simmons formed a unique bond with Princess Diana. They met almost every day and spent hours on the telephone. Diana opened her heart and mind to Simone Simmons, who always told the Princess Diana the unvarnished truth. No subject was taboo, and the two women discussed everything and anything, sharing laughter and tears over cups of chamomile tea. Since Princess Diana appreciated and trusted her friend's candor, Simone got to know the Princess Diana in a way no one else ever did. With Simone Simmons, Princess Diana felt confident enough to express her true self.

Insight into Diana's Life

In 1997, Princess Diana told her friend she wanted Simone Simmons to write a book that revealed the truth about her, to "tell it like it is." This is that book. It is truly the last word.
With her extraordinary insight into Diana's life, Simone Simmons captures the soul of the Princess and creates a rich and intimate portrait of one of the great icons of the twentieth century. In these pages, Simone Simmons describes how it really was: who among the Royals was good to Princess Diana and who was hateful; her need to be in love and to have an affair; her only fling-with John F. Kennedy, Jr.-at the Carlyle hotel; her real relationship with Paul Burrell; why she inflicted self-harm; how she wanted to move to New York or Los Angeles; how Mother Teresa hurt her; why Diana's relationship with Dodi never would have ended in marriage; and Princess Diana's enduring love for Prince Charles.

Princess Diana was Extremely Insecure

Though Princess Diana was extremely insecure, with Simone Simmons's help and work she became strong and learned that she could heal others around her. Diana: The Last Word is the fascinating story of how Princess Diana reached that point. It finally settles the unanswered questions of Princess Diana's life and addresses the many revelations that have materialized since her death.
