My Review

I was attracted by the pink cover and of course the wonderful illustration of
Diana, Princess of Wales. I really loved the lay out of the book as well as the
clear short chapters.

It read very easily as of course, I wanted to know all the details . I learned a
lot - not only about Diana, Princess of Wales but also about the style of the
1980s and the 1990s. My all-time favourite fashion era is the 1990s 🙈

This is a must read for all the fans of Diana, Princess of Wales as well as

for people who like style and fashion!
