Synopsis
During the last five years of her
life, Princess Diana had one friend and confidante who was special to her. She
was not part of Diana’s social circle; she was not a family friend. That woman
was Simone Simmons, a healer, who devoted herself to the troubled Princess.
Simone formed a unique bond with Diana. They met almost everyday and spent hours
on the telephone. Diana opened her heart and mind to Simone, who always told the
Princess the unvarnished truth. No subject was taboo, and the two women
discussed everything and anything, sharing laughter and tears over cups of
chamomile tea. Since Diana appreciated and trusted her friend’s candor, Simone
got to know the Princess in a way no one else has ever done. With Simone, Diana
felt confident enough to express her true self.
In 1997, Diana told her friend she wanted her to write a book which revealed the
truth about her, to “tell it like it is.” This is that book. It is truly the
last word.
With her extraordinary insight into Diana’s life, Simone captures the soul of
the Princess and creates an intimate and rich portrait of one of the great icons
of the 20th Century. In these pages, Simone describes how it really was: who
among the royals was good to Diana and who was hateful; her need to be in love
and to have an affair; her only fling—with John F. Kennedy, Jr.—at the Carlisle
hotel; her real relationship with Paul Burrell; why she inflicted self-harm; how
she wanted to move to New York or Los Angeles; how Mother Teresa hurt her; why
her relationship with Dodi never would have ended in marriage; and her enduring
love for Prince Charles.
Though Diana was extremely insecure, with Simone’s help and work she became
strong and learned that she could heal others around her. DIANA—THE LAST WORD is
the fascinating story of how she reached that point. It finally settles the
unanswered questions of Diana’s life and addresses the many revelations that
have materialized since her death.
