Re: Diana 7 days
She was a wonderful mother. William was saying how he can still feel her love because she gave him so much when she was alive. She did a lot for her country and being in the public eye was part of her role. Global ambassador, massive boost for the tourist industry, huge amount for charities, etc. Real star quality. I wasn't obsessed with Di when she was alive nor did I have a big interest in the monarchy, but when she died I felt like a light went out in this country.28-08-2017, 01:00 PM

Re: Diana 7 days
Good post Annie !They have done their mother proud they are a credit to her .
I am not a monarchist and really don't have much time for them but one had to admire how Diana took them on at their own game and beat them hands down .
And is still doing it today.
She simply out classed them .
Shaking hands ( no gloves ) with an aids patient did much to dispel the fear of AIDS.
The rest of the royals with their gloves give the impression they don't want to be contaminated by the hoi polloi

Re: Diana 7 days
What strange posts. Certainly shows some true colours.I personally think that Princess Diana was shamefully treated. Oh yes, she milked the press when it was necessary for publicity for her various 'projects', then she pushed them away as much as she could to try to get a little privacy. You can't blame her for that - there is a limit to a person's patience when one is constantly in the public eye.
Those who didn't see the programme should try to see it, regardless of a possible loathing of the good-looking young lady. It did reveal certain unknown aspects of a very tragic occurrence. I, for one, did not understand why the Queen took such a time to show that she actually cared about how her nation felt about this tragedy. She was a grandmother first, and the need was with her grandsons at Balmoral. The Queen knew there would be much publicity and front page headlines - she shielded the boys as much as she could by forbidding newspapers and I believe she wouldn't let the boys watch TV. They needed to try to come to terms with the dreadful tragedy that unfolded in front of them.
Yes those of you who had no liking for Princess Diana, should grit your teeth and take a look at "Diana 7 Days" on BBC iPlayer, or wait for a repeat to come around on BBC TV.
I felt it was a well presented documentary.
As for Camilla being far better than Princess Diana - Camilla was the reason for the break up of a marriage. Charles should have been allowed the marriage to Camilla before Camilla found another man. I do blame the Queen for this, she forbade it because Camilla was not aristocracy. But Camilla was obviously the love of Charles' life.
I believe if Charles had been allowed to marry Camilla before he met Lady Diana, the marriage would still be going on and possibly Camilla would have been accepted as a possible queen one day !

Re: Diana 7 days
Was he forbidden to marry Cami ?He was of age and but she was known as being a bit fast ( i.e. Not a virgin )
Such antiquated ideas .
No wonder they snapped up poor Diana she was one of the few virgins left in the ranks (her only previous known relationship being with her guinea pig )
