Product Description

Princess Diana's beautiful face adorned everything from charity campaigns to style magazines, from royal family memorabilia to tabloid newspapers. Through their work, paparazzi photographers Glenn Harvey and Mark Saunders witnessed a side to her personality that the public did not. This collection brings together their most exclusive pictures with the extraordinary stories behind them. There are confrontations, elaborate games of cat and mouse, and hilarious anecdotes within these pages as well as a unique insight into the workings of the paparazzi and the pressures they place upon their subjects. The photographs discussed include Diana sneaking the married Oliver Hoare into Kensington Palace for a secret nightcap and Princess Diana with Will Carling during a secret visit to Twickenham. Mark and Glenn's exploits highlight the tenuous relationship they had with the Princess, often angering her, at other times being manipulated to protect her public image, but throughout, the photographers never lose sight of the respect and high esteem in which they held the Princess.

He left to become a freelance photographer, specialising in the royal family. He has covered more than 150 royal tours. In 1992 he was banned by Buckingham Palace from covering official royal tours after he photographed Princess Diana in a bikini. He lives in Italy. Mark Saunders began his career as a news agency photographer. Following this, he became royal correspondent for the Windsor Express, the Queen's local newspaper, for five years. In that role he covered more than 200 official royal functions. Periods of work in Spain and the United States introduced him to the ruthless, big money world of the paparazzi. Mark was born in Taplow, Buckinghamshire.

why?2
This book appears to be a different version of events than the book these two men wrote whilst the Princess was still alive. (Dicing with Di) Their first book was much better, and probably more honest. For somebody with thousands of unpublished photos of the Princess they should have just made a photo book - it would have been more interesting and sold more copies. I was disappointed.

Second verse, same as the first...1
I was disappointed to find that this book, promoted as new, is basically an updated version of "Dicing with Di", written in the late '90s. As I was reading it I thought it sounded really familiar, so I sat down with the new book and "Dicing with Di" and found many of the same stories. Yes, there were a few different pictures, but nothing to be able to say Wow!! about. And adding a note written 10 years after the first book to the end of the new book doesn't constitute "new". Knowing the amount of time these guys spent chasing Diana, you'd think they'd have enough stories and pictures for a totally new book. Save your money and just re-read "Dicing with Di."

Most pictures were already in other books3
The book was ok, reads like the other books by people who either knew Diana, worked for Diana, or took pictures of Diana. I expected to see new photos in the book that was not seen before. There is a couple.

Disappointed to say the least........
