Where were you the day Diana died? Christopher Andersen draws on important sources - many of whom have agreed to speak here for the first time - to re-create in vivid and often startling detail the events leading up to that fateful night in Paris. Among the revelations: important new information about Diana's final moments alive, the accident itself - and what no one knew about the other convicted drunk driver in the car that night; Prince Charles's surprising reaction to the news of Diana's death - including his shock the first time he saw her body - the Queen's bizarre request, and a riveting account of how Prince William and Prince Harry coped with their shock and grief; the broken romance that pushed her into the arms of Dodi Fayed, their curious relationship, and whether or not she truly planned to marry him; and a behind-the-scenes account of the battle royal that raged between the Queen and Prince Charles in the days leading up to the funeral.
