Discuss Out Of Books Frances: The Remarkable Story of Princess Diana's Mother

A pretty good look at the life of Diana, Princess of Wales' mother. She led a pretty quiet life away from the spotlight as best as she could. In many ways her life was very sad but in collaborating with this book she finally broke her silence about her first divorce and relationship with all her children. I think she told her story in a very dignified manner.

Interesting study of the life of a much publicized but little-known woman. It was a bit repetitive in places and perhaps painted a slightly over-glowing picture of its subject, while being seemingly unfair to the Queen in certain areas. It also contained a few alarming (to me as a copy-editor) factual errors. But overall it is a useful addition to the books on Diana and her background and life, as well as an insightful look into the worst aspects of the British aristocracy and establishment in



I really enjoyed this look at Diana's mother. Very interesting see how Frances's life had such a huge impact on Diana's. It explains a lot.

I'm giving this 5 stars even though it's a far from perfect book. I still enjoyed it and recommend this to any Diana fan as it paints a much different picture of Frances and Diana's relationship (Ken Wharfe, James Whitaker, and Sarah Bradford do this as well). Frances was a commendable woman that had her children wrenched from her after she left her abusive husband (read Whitaker's account, he doesn't mince his words concerning Johnny Spencer). This set the background for Diana's many actions

This was a very interesting biography and in many ways felt like an untold story of a woman who had been not only vilified but pressed into silence. I have no doubt of the many hardships Frances suffered at the hands of the Firm and the press, however it did feel like the author was trying too hard to make her seem like a victim. The repeated mentions of the loss of her first son and later miscarriage (which I will admit I've never experienced and cannot imagine the trauma) seemed to be grasping
