Frances: The Remarkable Story of Princess Diana's Mother Book

The parallels between the life of the Hon. Mrs. Frances Shand Kydd, and that of her daughter Diana, Princess Of Wales are many. She too, struggled with a controlling, dominant husband, an adulterous affair, and an acrimonious aristocratic divorce. She too has come into conflict with the British Establishment while fighting for control of her children in the shadow of the House of Windsor. He reclusive life on a remote Scottish island has not protected her from the glare of publicity as she attempts to protect both Princes William and Harry and Diana's memory from the continued scandals and rumors surrounding the Princess, epitomized by the trial and acquittal of Diana's butler, Paul Burrell, and the attempts of her former lover James Hewitt to sell her love letters.
