  1. @Raim M. No, I'm not wrong. the monarchy is not show business. THe queen is the most important person followed by Charles. Diana didn't mean to cut him out at first but later she did use her charm to work against him. And she certainly wasn't the best of people. She was well meaning but she could be a very angry person, lashing out at people. Even her friends said that she fell out with most of them at times,

  2. @Raim M. That's really not the case. She was not worse or better than most people

  3. She was not meant to be the star of the show. A leading support player, yes but not the star
    4
  4.  @joanclough5440  Its Tudors.. and she was not more royal than the RF.

  5.  @lisasinclair2748  Lady is a courtesy title, ie the holder of a Lady Diana Spencer title is not a peer but the daughter of a peer and as such, she is legally a commoner. her father was a Peer and so was her brother

  6. So why did she ever travel in a car that wasn't one that she kept for her own use, with trusted drivers and mechanics looking after it? Why take a chance of driviing in a car hired by Dodi Fayed, with a driver who was not qualified or trained to drive that heavy car?

  7. no, he's not responsible for her death or "depriving the world" of her. We dont know how she would have spent the rest of her life, she might have just been a socialite who dabbled, or she might have given up public wrok altogether.

  8.  @stephaniepersin4145  its not a case of being better, its simply that Dianas royal blood comes on the wrong side of the blanket.. Obviously some people must think that "royal blood" is better since they assert that Diana was more royal than her husband's family etc.
    3
  9. Not really. Diana's star power was partly her own but if she had not been royal noone would have known her. She didn't do that much work after her divorce so its not that clear how her life would have gone had she survived
    3
  10.  @lisasinclair2748  yes she was a commoner. In the UK only the holder of the title is noble rank. Diana was a girl and did not hold a title. She wasnt royal either
    2
  11.  @thomasortmann41  The car did not have brake failure so Diana's alleged fear of dying in a car whose brakes failed was nonsense. The driver took off far too fast adn hit the pillars of the underpass, causing the crash. Diana did not die on the way to the hospital but in hospital
    2
  12. so who were these 11 lovers? how were they more than Charles's tally of girlfriends in his 20s?
    2
  13.  @shawroberts5149  again who were the at least 11 lovers? She had a few affairs but I dont know of 11 men. She married young and had had no real relationships before her marriage. Im sure that Charles notchd up at least 10 or 11 lovers during his life....
    2
  14. No, he has a wife who is close to him, makes him happy and is his good friend.
    2
  15.  @shishkebab5306  The main people who were hurt were Diana's kids and C's kids. Andrew PB was fooling around himself. the queen was annoyed an d upset but I can't see that she was hurt. Diana was hurt but she herself was far from a saint in dealing with the wives of her own boyfreinds.
    2
  16.  @shishkebab5306  the Children are all grown up now, and Im sure that they accept that their parents' first marriages did not work out and that they have moved on. As for Charles of course he married to have an heir.. any senior royal is expected to produce an heir....Diana knew that - and she wanted to have children.
    2
  17.  @shishkebab5306  Harry has only grudgingly left the "paid royals". he wanted to be free to earn his own money but to keep on having security paid for and to do a bit of royal work so that he and Meghan were noticed as TRHs' the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. If he didn't have that connection with the RF, who would listen to him in the US?. The Duke of Windsor also was reluctant to part wtih royal life, except for the duty part of it.. and he not only pestered his brother after George Vi became kng but also did his best to get as much money as he could when leaving the UK. And Charles would never have left his life of duty...He was aware that his mother had suffered under the departure of Edward VIII and unless he had absolutely no choice he would not walk out
    2
  18.  @hanssolos3699  The queen has not scorned Fergie. She disapproves of her at times but she has maintained a friendship with her.. Its Philip who utterly would nt forgive Fergie. As for the queen, she did disapprove of Camilla's affair but she is IMO quite content with her these days
    2
  19.  @athenagranados8384  So how come he claimed that he loved Camilla and she was a wonderful person
    2
  20. the monarch is IMO very much the same as she always was
    2
  21. perhaps he knew her a lot better than you did
    2
  22.  @stephaniepersin4145  The Royal family is the royal family of the UK. Diana may have been more British, she was not more royal.
    2
  23. so why doesnt Harry retire from public life and lead a private life iwth Meghan.. adn their security guards? That way he and she can be as safe as they like
    2
  24. well no,... since she is not a working royal, and only the wife of a younger son
    2
  25.  @jilllove8873  They did not work for Charles but for the Mettropolitan police.
    2
  26.  @baileymoore7779  They did not do it. Diana was of no importance once she'd left the RF
    2
  27. her lineage may be aristocratic but Charles' is Royal.
    2
  28. Grace was talking to Diana on her first engagement, when Diana found the cameras upsetting. It was well before teh polo match
    2
  29. But she's not the other woman. She is the wife
    2
  30.  @Dazarabia522  so its ok for her but not for the rest of the world
    2
  31.  @Celisar1  I doubt if Lady Colin knows the RF at all. She did wrok with Diana briefly as Di considered her as a possible person to write a biography of her.. but she was not a friend of the RF at all
    2
  32. what are you talking about? When did Philip ever say anything public about Dian
    2
  33.  @percyweasley9301  most certainly not. Wales is a principality witin the UK. England is a separate country
    1
  34. she is dead, she was no longer royal, and she was not the only person in the British royal family
    1
  35. and how did Diana paly by the rules?
    1
  36. I thnk he will get along very well without the brother that he has got
    1
  37. she did't mind being called princess di?
    1
  38.  @melvawages7143  Margo was given a chance to marry Townsend but refused it. It was Edward VIII who left the throne willingly to marry Wallis. Sarah spencer was never a serious candidate, and I doubt if the RF took much notice of her. William did not marry a "young vrigin" because he and Kate were born years after the 1970s
    1
  39. he had very little choice since he had to have a girl with no past. So he had to choose a younger woman. That didn't mean the marriage would be a disaster. Diana could have been 10 years younger than him and still been interested in similar things and capable of sharing his life. But she wasn't - she didnt even enjoy his sports or country interests.
    1
  40. No he wasn't wearing a seat belt. Diana was the one who refused security, and it was up to the queen to decide whether to let her keep HRH..
    1
  41. What do you think that Diana would have done that was so wonderful? She had given up most of her charities, and left the RF
    1
  42.  @susanbircumshaw8601  How exactly?
    1
  43.  @SinCityRaider81  so why did she not take precautions against this, such as alwasys using her own car, drivers and security officers?
    1
  44.  @mahaaliali1624  no idea what you are saying
    1
  45.  @mahaaliali1624  er if you use my name you are saying it to me.
    1
  46.  @brendawei7356  she did do that deliberately, not at first but later on
    1
  47.  @ramal5708  albert was never all htat popular
    1
  48. No, they did not ignore her health conditions. She had several doctors and therapists attending her
    1
  49. Thats really not true. Charles may not be a genius but he did reasonably well at college, and Diana didn't even pass any O levels. he liked to read and think, and she liked to read light literature.
    1
  50. dont talk wicked nonsense.  @glamdolly30 
    1
  51. dont talk nonsense, she was not seducing everyone and all the RF sent their children to boarding school @glamdolly30 
    1
  52.  @glamdolly30  dont talk nonsense. Diana sent her boys to school like any upper class mother of her generation. She had nannies like all royal women.
    1
  53.  @SinCityRaider81  And - she didn't have an accident in her car, She didnt die of a head injury and he didn't marry Tiggy
    1
  54. She was not seen as a "peasant". Its not a word that is used nowadays, and if she had not been from a well to do family she would not have married C
    1
  55. And did you know about Diana before she married the P of Wales
    1
  56. She is not alive. And if she were, she would harldy be queen.. since she has no claim whatsoever to the throne
    1
  57.  @annieturmer2793  No, she wasnt more royal than Charles.
    1
  58.  @athenagranados8384  how is she being used and abused? She is dead.
    1
  59. how?
    1
  60. so why didnt Diana dazzle Charles wiht her medical knowledge?
    1
  61. any bio of Diana shows how much her parents' marital breakdown, and the family squabbles traumatised her. Even years after when she was herself long since grown up and married, she was hitting out literally at her step mother and she was also very edgy with her own mother. She could not get over the trauma that the adults in her life had caused her, her mother, her father and then Raine Spencer
    1
  62. why?
    1
  63. she never had that title
    1
  64.  @rachelperry1249  Its sad that she died and she tried to do some good. But how would hte world be a better place?
    1
  65.  @jacquelinemarion3288  did you warn her?
    1
  66. try and find out the meaning of the word polygamy
    1
  67. how ridiculous can you get? @pavitachauhan6971 
    1
  68.  @pavitachauhan6971  what nonsense. Camilla was pretty good for him, Diana was absolutely NOT perfect for him.
    1
  69. well yes it is, or married into. If you are not a born and bred royal, you have to marry into it. and Not everyone can adjust from an odinary life to such a restricted life
    1
  70. what are you on about? Diner? Do you mean Diana? Do you think that they are going to knight Morton????
    1
  71. Best? you must be kidding
    1
  72. a commoner is anyone who is not a peer or of the Royal family
