LITERATURE
Former French president writes novel
BY ELAINE GANLEY
Associated Press
PARIS — It was a passionate but hidden love. The president of the French Republic and the Princess of Cardiff had no choice.
"ThePrincessandthePresident" recounts the ballet of secrecy led by a man of power and a royal beauty watched by the world — whom the novel's author, former French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, says is Lady Di.
The book is a bold venture for the 83-year-old Giscard d'Estaing whose stiff, pompous "au revoir" to the nation upon his defeat to Francois Mitterrand in 1981 remains the stuff of comedy routines.
But who was the inspiration for the hero?
A member of the prestigious Academie Francaise, the watchdog of the French language, Giscard
d'Estaina has written books in the past, like the weighty "The State of France" or three tomes on "Power and Life." His new creation, in bookstore Thursday, has taken everyone aback.
"Diana-Giscard. And If It Were True," reads the headline of an article in the glossy magazine Paris Match whose cover features the two standing in gown and tux at a state affair in 1994 at the Chateau of Versailles, their arms touching.
Is art imitating life in the work by Giscard d'Estaing, who like many other French leaders maintained a reputation as a womanizer? The former president resolves half the mystery in an interview published Thursday.
He confirms that Princess Patricia of Cardiff is, indeed, modeled after the Princess of Wales. He also says that he and Princess Diana discussed his writing a love story revolving around a world
leader. Their last conversation on the subject, in June 1997, came six weeks before her death in a car accident in Paris with her lower Dodi Fayed. The book's dedication reads: "Promise kept ..."
"I considered it a promise I had to fulfill," Giscard was quoted as saying in the newsweekly Le Point.
"This is a novel in which Princess Diana is the main figure," Giscard d'Estaing told Le Point. "I wanted to pay homage by bringing her to life again" and correcting the image of a princess he believed was misrepresented in the press. "I invented the facts," he said.
However, Giscard d'Estaing maintains the ambiguity about their relationship. He said he saw her in London three months after their first meeting — like the story says — "and afterward, we saw each other numerous times."
