The emergence of the Princess of Wales from commoner to Royal Lady has always read like a fairy tale. But behind her apparently effortless entry into royal life, married life, motherhood and the centre of the fashion stage, Lady Diana Spencer went through a baptism, if not of fire, then of something approaching it, to become one of the world's most stylish royals.
Was it this baptism alone that finally turned Lady Diana into a fashion leader and royal star, or was her destiny clearly mapped out from an early age, when she lived `next door' to the Royal Family, in Norfolk?
This book is a celebration of the Princess' style from the time when she was simply Diana Spencer, through the months when she fell in love with the Prince of Wales, to her first tours as Princess of Wales, when she conquered Australia, New Zealand and Canada with her charm, her smile and her model girl looks.
