Comments by "Glen" (@glen7318) on "What Princess Diana's Post-Royal Life Was Like | Princess Alone | Real Royalty" video.

how many people are all that fond of their in laws? Lots of people dont get on that well with their partners families but they do the best they can for the sake of their kids. Diana was liked by the RF at first but I think within a fairly short time she was seen as difficult and not so much liked.. and she didn't like them
8
@scottishqueen3140 Harry wasn't bothered by the RF being so awful nor camilla being his stepmother, when he had a big wedding and had his wife walked down the aisle by his father.. who is now apparnetly some kind of monster to him.
5
So how come Charles got his servants to lie for him, pretended he was having an evening in with the TV when he was going to Cammilla's?
5
@tuvous4990 What on earth do you mean? Charles does have a real concern for people and is a very hard working royal. He isn't dead so I dont know what yo mean tried died.
4
@nancy7665 I doubt if she is very happy wiht them, but Harry is her grandson. She may not trust him very far these days in case he talks about their conversations but Im sure she keeps up some contact.
4
How was he a "bad" ex husband? He left Diana alone by and large. He didn't refuse to look after the children or try to wriggle out of financail commitments, he didn't harrass her. So what did he do?
3
@peterlawrence6815 well that is the price of being a public figure. that is why people in the public eye have bodyguards to keep the press at bay.
3
@rmp7400 there is a difference bettween feeling for someone you never met, and cryying about them still years after they died.
3
There are several princesses in the RF
3
that's rubbish. Dina's death had nothing to do with Charles and Camilla, and Im sure you know that. @Gaeliclass
3
@lynneasmith9277 still she gave them a greater asset, Harry
3
@nancy7665 Very possibly. Or the real Harry is the weepy angry person we've seen in the past year or 2 and Joly Harry was a creation of the image makers.
3
@lynneasmith9277 no, she's not. Camilla is the queen. Diana was not at all the angel you seem to think she was
2
@lexaharpell5196 Because she is trying to do so? She's walked out on royal life, teh difference being that she has takene Harry with her.
2
@JaneDoe-sz3jp well if Diana married him for his position she is harldy in a good place to complain if he wasn't as affectionate as she hoped
2
dont talk nonsense. Dian was a commoner, the Spencers are upper class but not royal.
2
@lynneasmith9277 A royal name. They changed to Windsor in 1917, having come from a German royal family
2
@ritahorvath8207 certainly better than MEghan nad Harry who managed to alienate most of the British press.
2
@evapektas3832 again how do you know this? Do you know the Royal family and they have told you of this?
2
@peterlawrence6815 Evidence?
2
@janieleishman9130 Dont know. I think that Diana rather spoiled him.. and while some of his bitterness may be due to losing his mother, I feel that it is something in him. He might well have been the child of 2 divorced parents, each spoiling him..
2
@LadyLoin What she IS , is the ex wife of the present King... who sadly died in an accident
2
@Frances-xp5pk and what is Harry then?
1
Since Harry was clearly very unhappy with royal life and somewhat unstable, its probably much the best that he has left it. If he comes back, he may settle down to it again but I think the RF would be very uneasy wiht him and find it hard to trust him...
1
nonsnese. Diana was the daugher of a mistress
1
she wasnt a princess in her own right. @jennygoddard6875
1
at first yes, but she did deliberately upstage them when she grew more confidentn.
1
@chloeann4423 he's made it clear that he does not KNOW much about his heritage....
1
@johnforsbergbarrett923 He didn't HAVE to marry her. But its true that he was getting older and if he stuck by the idea of finding a virgin, time was running out. But he should have gotten to know her better. Teh trouble was that Diana WAS so fascinating that the press just loved her.. and it was clear that if the relationship went on longer without an engagment, there woudl be no peace for her or the RF
1
@ritahorvath8207 She did love him. If she hadn't she would have just accepetd the marriage wasn't a good one and gone quietly on her way, leading a separate life to him. Or she would have gone on pressing quietly but firmly for a divorc. But becuase she had feelings for him, her emotions were out of control
1
@lynneasmith9277 how was he cruel and wicked ot her?
1
She could hardly stop him. he was a grown man and the queen let him go away, so why or how would Diana do anything?
1
zameisie No but he was stupid enough to come up iwht the plans to use a driver who was not trained.. and who turned out to be drunk
1
is there a point to this silly remark?
1
@ngatiramona well Harry explicitly said that the racist remark he heard was not from Philip or the queen
1
so was she beautiful when she rowed with her staff and froze them out? Or had arguments with most of her friends?
1
stop with this nonsnese. @jennygoddard6875
1
@wasanthadarmarathna6862 Hary and Meghan have given up royal life 4 years ago and gone to the US to make money.
1
Was that what Diana wanted though? I think she did want another man but she had become addicted to being on the front page and being admired by the press and she would not hve been happy by then leading a quiet life
1
@lynneasmith9277 absolute nonsense
1
why?
1
what?
1
Nonsense. Are you seriously suggesting that Charles had diana killed? How? Why? He was free to remarry.. so was she free to lead her own life. That she didnt was because of a horrible but IMO prevenable accident
1
what ARE you on about
1
How Is Camilla of ill repute more than Diana?
1
@rmp7400 SHe didn't make a mistake in trusting the Fayed family who did not provide good security?
1
queen's husband is not a king. the King gives his title to his wife, she shares his rank but it does not wrok the other way aournd. Prince Henrik of Denmark was not King of Denmark though his wife was the queen.
1
@lexaharpell5196 Nobody wore their seatbelts. Rhys Jones was just lucky, Diana was thrown around in the back of the car and was injured
1
what is playing Henry VIII? Are you referring to the play?
1
@carolmorris404 Pressmen often said that they had tip offs from a woman with an upper class accent telling them that Dian would be such a place, and she was. And she was caught in a car with her favourite pressman Richard Kay.
1
@carolmorris404 Do you really think her staff would tip off the press for her? Diana's fondness for tipping off the press was well known and Diana kept it secret from her staff because tehy would not approve. That was why Patrick Jephson left her employment because there was no bond of trust between them on this issue. And Diana is dead, she is resting in peace..
1
She was not on the honeymoon and her name is Camilla.
1
@johnanderson5978 who is supposed to let him go? Diana? She got a divorce. And Charles is a busy happy man..
1
@johnanderson5978 But Diana didn't run away. She stayed in her marriage. It didn't work out and then she finally got to hte point where the queen ordered a divorce. But Diana even then didn't really seem to know if she wanted to stay married or to be divorced
1
@johnanderson5978 generally women who marry early becomes mothers early.
1
@johnanderson5978 what are you talkng about? Men in western countries are not usually virgins when they marry. In fact, most women in western countries are not virgins when they marry. You must live soemwhere different
1
she had a doll?
1
@janieleishman9130 so why say they should skip over Charles? the only way that could happen would be if there was a change in the law, and its unlikely that there is enough public support for such a change
1
@janieleishman9130 William is more popular, yes, but Charles became King 3 months ago without any fuss or anyone showing disapproval
1
@lynneasmith9277 nonsense. their marriage never went very well, and in a while Charles returned to Camilla
1
@lynneasmith9277 there were many issues in the marriage, Camilla was only one of them. If Diana and C had had more in common, if she hadn't been ill, they might have worked out a decent marriage.. and Camilla would not have been an issue
1
well there was no reason why she should not have had a happy future. She had her boys, she was young and beautiful. She had money and charity work to do if she wanted it...
1
They could not agree on anything, and were beginning to fihgt over the children. She kept them away from him to an exten and they had long reached a point wehre they could hardly stand to be together. So how could they have?
1
@lexaharpell5196 not really
1
@verliesally2846 whoever they were, they have remained discreet
1
@kathyfarrell7283 why do you need to forgive? THe injuries done were not to you, but to Diana and her boys and the boys (William at least) have moved on. How could they have an amazing marraige? They had litlte in common, Diana did not like Royal life. Charles still had feelings for another woman..
1
@marigold6920 you have the oddest ideas of love
1
how could she become quene mother when she was divorced from Charles??? @jeanettestone151
1
@jeanettestone151 dont be silly and make up things. Diana gave up most of herr charities when she got divorced. it idd not take 3 hours to get to the hospital
1
@rmp7400 in what way was Dians soul diffferent to that of anyone else
1
you dont seem to understand that glamour is not really part of royal life. the most important person in any RF is the monarch. he or she can use jewels and pomp to attract attention but overall, they have to be able to do their job in a quiet undramatic unglamorous way. Diana overdid the glitz and took away from the attention given to her husband, the future monarch and the queen.
1
no he wasn't. HE didn't marry Camilla until 2005 8 years after Diana's death and 9 years after their divorce. He didn't murder diana. She died because of bad security arrangements made by her boyfriend and probalby if she had worn a seatbelt she would have survived the accident.
1
@moekontze116 no, in the UK everyone but the royal family and the peers are commoners. Diana was the daughter of a peer...
1
how does he treat his servants? He does have a temper but he loses it and then gets over it usually. he has paid money to his staff who were on furlough during Covid.
1
what does that even mean?
1
@niweshlekhak9646 No, he doesnt know any suchg thing. Charles wants to be king, and he's going to be. He could have stepped down to marry Camilla but he wanted to marry her and to retain his place in the succesion.
1
@JaneDoe-sz3jp The Windsors have used hte name Windsor for 100 years.. adn have lived in teh UK marrying British people. I think its time to drop the "They're German" thing
1
you are very silly then. Charles is now king
1
@ngatiramona She was not stripped of her secuirty. I wish people would stop saying this because it isn't true. Diana was the one who didn't want Royal protection officers.
1
@YaYa-ke1zr Only working royals have security and for some of them they only have it while they are at work.. on an engagement. Beatrice and Eugenie dont have it, Sophie Wessex only has it while she's working. As Harry's no longer a working member of tthe team he wont have security
1
@YaYa-ke1zr Charles had no power to remove her HRH.. that was t he queen's doing.. because in her view Diana was no longer married to Charles she would not have the style of HRH.. Diana was consdiered to be high risk so she was allowed to keep her security officers (while Fergie lost hers) but she didn't want to keep them and told someone senior in the Met that she had been walking around London for a year, a while before her death and that she had been perfectly safe so she didn't want to change her mind about it.
1
@YaYa-ke1zr I dont beleive that Charles would have insisted on Diana losing her HRH. He wasn't very happy with her but if the queen had wanted her to keep HRH I doubt if he would have quarrelled with his mother over the issue. I think the queen was tired of Diana's being so difficult as she did try to stall on the divorce and she wanted her troublesome daughter in law out of the RF. And her attitude was IMO that Diana had acted up, acted like seh wanted to be out of the family so now, she would indeed be divorced and let go, and one of the consequences would be that she was no longer an HRH. Diana still had security, so that issue wasn't connected with the HRH. It was Di who got uneasy about her RPOS and decided to get rid of them. She would have the protection of Will and Hary's RPOS when she was with them.. but if she didn't want security when she was not with the boys, the RF could not force it on her.
1
@YaYa-ke1zr I would imagine he was, because Im sure there were fears about him.. and if he was staying at Frogmore he was in the RF security zone... so it wasn't that expensive to cover him during his brief visits. but Harry did indeed want the Brit Tax payer or his father to continue to pay his security in America...
1
@YaYa-ke1zr not at all. Im sure the queen and charles were entirely in line when H wanted to be half in and half out, in saying that they had to be in or out.
1
@YaYa-ke1zr Harry has made a lot of fuss about security in hte past year, wanting to bring his own bodygards and also to have info from the Metrop police shared with them.. and that was never going to happen. Harry visited a couple of times but each time he was liviing in Windsor which is a protected zone so he had the protection of royal Protection officers.. so it did not cost extra.
1
However Anne is nowhere near the top of the line. Its not necessary to be dowdy but Diana brought "high fashion" into the RF and it did push the less glamourous members of the family into the background, including at times the queen. That wasn't going to go down well...
1
dont be silly. unless you are several hundred years old Anne is not your aunt
1
@disha9876 dont be ridiculous
1
@sandrascoular2231 Why would Philip care esp for her? He dedicated his life to supporting the queen and the monarcy even when it was hard for him to give up his career and independence. so why would he be sympathetic with someone who talked to the press about the RF?
1
@sandrascoular2231 so you dont think that Philip was sympathetic to her
1
how about you prove that they killed her? that's easier than to prove a negative.
1
@ritahorvath8207 I doubt it. She woudl harldy have wanted Harry to marry someone who tokk him awway to the US and out of the RF... and who was competing with her for the limelight
1
so why didn't Diana drop the rugby player and the soldier and the doctor
1
@doberman1ism Not at all correct. The Windsors are royal and have many connextions to the aristocracy, through intermarriage. Diana was a commoner as in the UK only the holder of the title is a peer and hence not a commoner
1
@mariadavola She was very ambivalent. She wanted to be queen but when she realised that she could not stay married to Charles, she veered between wanting Will to be King and her being his "King's Mother"....or just wanbting to get away from it all. Its said that when there was a TV debate about the monarchy, she phoned in to vote against keeping it.
1
How a family of mistresses? She had one grandmother who was a royal mistress.
1
Not at all. It was because (a) Camilla had a past, it was the 60s and she was a lively attractive girl, and (b) she didn't want a royal marriage so she wasn't likely to wait and see if they might give permisson for her to marry Charles, as she wanted to marry Andrew PB
1
@barbarajones2920 proud of Harry who is clearly undergoing a mental breakdonw in public?
1
and you know this how?
1
There's no evidence that he was physiclaly abusive. Diana was brought up largely by her father and nannies as her mother left and was not able to get custody of her.. but her relationship with her mother was always up and down. He wasn't a great father but he was fond of his daughter and rahter spoiled her.
1
@margaretdesaubin4456 Diana said a lot of things that weren't always true. If she did see her father striking her mohter, how come she fell out iwth her mum so badly that she would not speak to her for the last 4 months of her life? YOu would think that she would say to herself, Mummy is difficult but after all she has suffered a lot as an abused wife, so i should tolerate her? But she fell out badly with Frances and would not speak to her.
1
@paulbrunelle1444 you have no way of knowing that.
1
@lynneasmith9277 nonsense
1
@lynneasmith9277 dont be silly. THey are great hulking middle aged men, they will always miss their mother but they hardly NEED her. Camilla is queen now.
1
what are you on about now @jennygoddard6875
1
rubbish
1
@stevenhowe6677 Good lord where did this narcissist stuff come from?
1
@stevenhowe6677 he wasn't raised by Mountbatten
1
how do you know this?
1
@criticsatlarge0073 well Harry has complained that he was worked too hard, that he hated doing royal duties and was pushed ito them and that he didn't want to be a working royal. So he walked out. I think the RF would rather have a William who was a slow starter and who is in the RF for the long haul.. than someone who did some duties fora few years adn then walked out complaining that he had been over workd
1
absolute nonsense.
1
what does the Britihs government care about Diana?
1
Only the holder of a title is considered of noble rank
1
@libistur nobody killed her so stop saying things like this
1
@partlycloudy3519 yes he was the first King who was head of hte Church but hardly the first king to be married more than once nor to have many mistrresses. He actually had few mistresses
1
Most kings in the past had affairs, I dont think anyone thought that it affected their ability to run the country. and indeed in the present Charles is hardly the only prince who has had an affair
1
nonsense. @jennygoddard6875
1
@lynneasmith9277 and look how he feels. A horrible young man
1
are you serious?
1
@kathleenkay4910 speak for yourself
1
She is queen consort. ANd it is very nasty to wish for someone to die
1
How on earth is Meghan a stalker to Diana?
1
@ania5038 That's copying Diana, not stalking her. She's know that Diana is populRR in the US and is trying to work up similarities, so that the US public will lvoe her too
1
@ania5038 diana is dead, she cant be stalked
1
how about learning to write a sentence which makes sense
1
matter of opinon. SHe was never beautiful and never fashionable
1
she was often alone
1
really silly remark
1
@ninarossthequeen She is not the mother of a king
1
what areyou talking about @jennygoddard6875
1
@ritahorvath8207 Yes she did. If she hadnt loved him, she would not have kicked up such a fuss about his affair, she would have just overlooked it.
