THE REAL DIANA by Lady Colin Campbell (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Startling new revelations from the woman who has written two headline-making biographies about Princess Diana—astonishing.” (Hello!)

Royal insider Lady Colin Campbell combines true insight with true compassion to bring us the most intimate and revealing portrait of the Princess of Wales that we will ever have, setting the record straight on many of the most controversial aspects of Diana’s turbulent life.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s narrator, Roe Kendall. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Roe Kendall, the epitome of British elegance, is on the mark with proper enunciation, delightful character interpretations, and an uncanny vocal similarity to Diana.” (AudioFile)
