Princess Diana

I Interviewed Andrew Morton today. He of "Diana, Her True Story" which caused such a sensation back in 1992, telling tales of unhappiness in the Royal Charles and Diana marriage, stories of bulimia and Diana's own prediction that she would never be queen. We all wondered at the time how his revelations could be anything but fantasy. Only after her death did we learn that Diana had fully collaborated with him, making tapes of her side of the story, and smuggling those tapes out of Kensington Palace to him.



Andrew's book was a best seller. He went onto Hollywood, to write sensational biographies of other world figures. But now he's back - writing a book about Kate and William. Will it be sensational. Will it offend sensibilities? Who knows? Surely he can never be as lucky again to have such inside information. But this time, he's more sure this is a happy story.

And what of the future?

Andrew reckons helicopter pilots usually have baby girls - so he's predicting a baby girl for the couple, within the year. And, since they are already talking about changing the constitutional rules about title and succession, perhaps this daughter would one day become Queen. And her name? Andrew reckons it would have to be Diana, wouldn't it?
