Disturbing legacy

It’s that time of year again, the last week of August, and people are already jockeying in order to cash in a year from now,  the tenth anniversary of Diana’s death.  Tina Brown, a lady who would dumb down Big Brother, was first out of the blocks, her book promising to reveal unheard-of-before secrets. Incidentally, Tina Brown never met Diana and does not know many people who did, but is nevertheless considered a Diana expert. As far as I’m concerned, the only person outside Di’s family who is qualified to write about her is Rosa Monckton, Dominic Lawson’s wife, who not only was a good friend to the tragic one, she also knew about the charade that was Diana & Dodi.

I, too, am cashing in. I am a contributor to the Larry King book on Diana; Larry King being a very popular TV chatshow host based in Washington DC. About 15 years ago, while on a book tour, I appeared on his programme and let it drop that the Chuck and Diana marriage was practically over.
