Hope7 (USA: TX) (2010/06/11): I am just finishing this book, read it in just two days. I am fascinated with the lives of those who are living in Buckingham Palace and like to know them about them and try to understand them more. I adored Diana and really disliked the unkind words that Fergie said about her. If you did not know that this book was written by Fergie you could easier have put Diana herself into this book as the author. We are all aware of Diana's insecurities about herself and her bolemia, her desires to be accepted and loved by her often cold and standoffish husband, who was a cheater, and that says much about the man she married, but I did not know that Fergie too was of the same cloth as Diana in so many ways. You sense that Fergies own personal issues of neediness and competitive spirit caused her to become a holy monster after she married Andrew and instead of liking her more I ended up liking her less after reading this book.She tried too hard and was not true to herself, always a losing battle. I feel she should have stayed married to Andrew and just bucked up. Too often, the book portrays them both, her and Diana, as young wives that cared more about what others thought of them than what they themselves felt about life in general. The gray men, as Fergie calls them, the men who run the show at Buckingham Palace and appartently run more than that....I hope they are not masons but that would lend itself to a more heinous and underground criminal sort of activity, and would explain much in regards to the royal families ring through the nose and how they are tragically pulled along by them. I give the book a 3 out of 5...interesting and disappointing. Interesting to know all the inside details, disappointing in that I had hoped to like Fergie the person, the mother, the wife more but only saw a spoiled, driven, power-starved vixen instead. Too bad.I wish her well.She is a very pretty woman and if she had just held up her classy head she would have survived triumphantly. Just my thoughts.
