For more than forty years Diana Princess of Wales has been mythologized to the most
extraordinary degree. Adored and lionized by some ridiculed and traduced by others Diana has
always commanded a cultural presence unmatched by any other member of the royal family. In
Dianaworld Edward White offers both a portrait of the princess and a group portrait of those
who existed in her orbit-from her royal in-laws her servants and the dilapidated ranks of the
British aristocracy from which she rose to drag performers artists Britain's ethnic
minorities and the Gen Z superfans who maintain her status as a cultural icon. Drawing on a
wide array of sources and perspectives many never used in books about Diana or the royal
family White vividly recreates the world Diana lived in explores the growth of her global
reputation and illuminates her lasting impact on the world she left behind.
