Morton published the first version of Diana: Her True Story in 1992 and for years, there was speculation about Diana's involvement in the biography. Prior to becoming a biographer, Morton worked as a reporter for British tabloids including The Daily Star, News of the World, and The Daily Mail. However, he is best known for his work, Diana: Her True Story-in Her Own Words published in October 1997, following Princess Diana's death in August 1997.
