It has been 20 years since the sudden death of Princess Diana in Paris on Aug. 31, yet the interest in the “People’s Princess” is still there, as evidenced by the new and reissued literature about her life.

“Imagining Diana” by journalist Diane Clehane speculates on what would have happened had Diana survived the fatal car crash. The recently published book is described as an “alternative history novel” and opens with Diana at a lunch meeting with a literary agent in Manhattan. The agent tries to get Diana to write a tell-all memoir.

Andrew Morton’s book “Diana: Her True Story” was first published in 1992 but was reissued two months ago in June.

It is said that the original biography was published with the full cooperation of and input from Diana.

The 25th-anniversary edition has been revised and includes never-before published material.

National Geographic has also come out with a picture-heavy book, “Remembering Diana: A Life in Photographs.”

The book published earlier this month contains over a hundred images of Diana’s life, from photos of her as a schoolgirl to her as a young royal and as a humanitarian.

Best-selling author Tina Brown wrote the book’s foreword.

Older publications worth checking out include: “Diana” by royal biographer Sarah Bradford that separates truth from gossip; and “After Diana: William, Harry, Charles and the Royal House of Windsor” by Christopher Andersen, who trains his sights on the royal family and how it dealt with the death of the Princess. —RJCK
