What do princesses really want? Princess Di's in love. At last. After all the fuss about Charles and Camilla, the cellular-phone tapes, the sweaty workout photos, Di's finally found the right guy - Leonard Schecter, an American commoner with a taste for long-legged blondes and epic poetry.

In Peter Lefcourt's brilliantly funny Di and I, our love-starved pair meet at a Togolese embassy reception in London, stare into each other's eyes, and go weak in the knees. They carry on a tempestuous affair under the noses of Diana's bodyguards, her regal in-laws, young princes William and Harry, paparazzi, and Barbara Walters. Their passionate romance sweeps them from the Royal Box at Ascot to a McDonald's franchise in Rancho Cucamonga, where they flee to seek a better - and - private life.

Di and Leonard's wild jaunt to freedom makes them the subject of an intense couple-hunt by the FBI, MI6, Scotland Yard, and, of course, Prince Charles. It is a chase that culminates in an unforgettable showdown between the Prince of Wales and the only man to ever find the way to the heart of the woman who walked out on the English throne.

Hilarious, romantic, and madcap, Peter Lefcourt's Di and I is the most unlikely and charming love story since Edward VIII ran off with Wallis Simpson. Only this time, the tale is a lot funnier.
