Princess Diana

[Buckeye]

One of the Golden Rules of common decency is that we do not speak ill of the departed, since they are not here to defend themselves.




What utter and arrant nonsense.

Should we then to assume that Hitler was a world philanthropist with a disturbed childhood, or that Capone should be forgiven all because he loved his mother?


Wrong is wrong, and your death doesn't make it right..

"And there you have it." Defense rests.

I have always understood that it was the interfering Queen mother and Diana's grandmother that colluded together to get them together, because of Charles age at that time the Queen Mother was worried he wouldn't be producing any heirs to the throne.

Anyone with any sense should have known on the day the engagement was announced when Charles was asked if he was in love, his reply was......whatever love is......that it wouldn't last.

Camilla was always Charles true love even before Diana came on the scene.

I haven't paid much attention to celebrities since I was little, but this was somewhat of an exception- I was kinda nauseated when one of the older women, I think it was Charles's mother, remarked that since Diana was so young she could be 'taught to obey.' Geeez.

As for her death, it was a shock because when the late-night news talked about her accident they said she was expected to recover, and the next morning when I went to visit my father he'd heard on the morning news that she'd died.

What ! comparing Diana to the scheming Wallis, just not so. Diana did not "trap" Charles,( who was pressured into getting married by his domineering father Price Philip). Diana was what was needed a 19 year old virgin, whom Charles used as a "brood mare" to produce an heir or two. And after the heartbreak of learning of his dalliances, of course who wouldn't seek solace elsewhere.

That's what happened as I remember it too. She must have felt so alone and unwanted thinking he loved her only to find out he'd been having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles the whole time.
