The new book for children will be published in the “Little People, Big Dreams” series. The author of the book is Maria Isabella Sánchez Vergara. The story claims that the princess developed an eating disorder when she found out that her husband King Charles (then Prince of Wales) was in love with another woman.
According to The Telegraph, the biography details the eating disorder Diana suffered from, saying: “Whenever she felt lonely, she sought solace by eating all the cakes she could find in the royal kitchens.”

The sequel goes on to describe bulimia in more detail, stating, “But that sweet feeling of comfort didn’t last long. When it was gone, she tried to get rid of all the food she had eaten, making herself sick.”

One of the pages of the book also says: “Although her life seemed to be taken from the pages of a fairy tale book, she soon realized that the prince’s heart belonged to someone else … Over time, this sadness turned into an eating disorder called bulimia.”
“It took her time to start seeking help, learn to love herself and stop hurting her body. But as soon as she did, she felt better than ever,” the book says.

The author of the book states that the princess “was one of the first celebrities to talk about her struggle with bulimia, helping others to face it too”.
Princess Diana first opened up about her eating disorder in the infamous Panorama interview with Martin Bashir in 1995.
In the same interview, the princess admitted that she self-harmed years after her divorce from Charles.

To a journalist who it turned out had tricked her into an interview, Diana said: “I came home and it was very difficult to know how to comfort myself because I was comforting so many others, so it was so common to run to the fridge.”
Diana said the eating disorder was a “symptom” of her marital problems – and added that she had “called out for help” but had not received the support she needed and was instead labeled “unstable”.

Tom Quinn, head of external affairs at the charity Beat, told the newspaper: “We advise writers to avoid giving detailed information about the progress of an eating disorder, calories or weight, as this could worsen the symptoms of someone who is ill, or encourage the development of an eating disorder if someone feels vulnerable. .”
