Kongehuseksperten Lady Colin Campbell var i sin tid den første, der forudså, at hertugen og hertuginden af Wales ville ende med at blive skilt. Hun fulgte parret på tætteste hold gennem alle årene, og efter Dianas tragiske død har hun gravet en mængde nyt stof frem – bl.a. forbavsende afsløringer om Diana og nye teorier om hendes død. Den rigtige Diana er baseret på 35 interviews med prinsesse Diana, som Lady Colin Campbell foretog. For første gang nogensinde sætter hun også navn på sine royale kilder.

Diana, la principessa del popolo, e Camilla, regina del Regno Unito. Due donne molto diverse, con un denominatore comune: il matrimonio con il principe Carlo. Un triangolo che per anni ha riempito le pagine dei giornali e i media di tutto il mondo e ha cambiato la Casa reale inglese. Una storia di tre dolori, ma anche di ingiustizie subite da due donne che la vita ha reso antagoniste ma che sono state essenzialmente vittime dello stesso sistema.

Es indiscutido el papel fundamental desempeñado por don Juan Carlos en la restauración pacífica de la democracia a la muerte de Franco, como es generalmente aceptado que durante su reinado España ha vivido el periodo más largo de paz, prosperidad y libertades.
