There will never be another Diana.
I think it's very sweet what he did, an innocent and loving gesture. I've always thought he was shy, sweet and caring... Very close to, and a lot like, his mother.
She on the other hand though?.........??? Nope, nothing to deserve it.
I agree Jaylene.
Not even a little
i'm an old bat and i remember charles/di wedding. now that was a bride. she looked stunning, innocent, glorious, and like pure fantasy. old kate looked like she wanted it so 'understated' she looked just PLAIN JANE. that veil omg looked like a dishrag landed on her head. by the end of the day it just hung there flat on her head. she looks like she will wrinkle very young. the dress big deal NOT. omg that bouquet!!!!!!!!it was a piece of shit little bunch of flowers she picked up at the last minute. couldn't she have gotten a cathedral style bouquet? again, trying to be elegant and understated it looked undercooked. she's a little mouse thats just played her hand, rolled out the bait caught the fish brought him in, then back and forth til he cried uncle. he looks like diana in drag. not impressed with any of it. lots of media hype, fever pitch, and it came to a dull conclusion. last wedding i ever 'attend'. what was with that 'coat of arms' hat on andrews kid? god some of those styles looked so cheap and hookerish. that pippa middleton dress was too 'slinky' for a wedding. is she stupid or what? lmao IMHO! been to UK many times, my husband is english and he tells it like it is. by the way, diana was the first to cheat in the marriage folks, get over it. the usa doesn't get the news, but the uk gets it from the sources.
pull the string!
She did have a determination to bring attention to those less fortunate, and bless her soulful self .... she taught her sons.
I believe you'll find Wills and Kate having their first child within two years, determined to have a family and provide for them a life away from scrutiny.
Once Wills is king ... all privacy will end.
Kate asked the queen for the secret to a long & happy marriage, the queen said " wear a seatbelt & don't piss me off!!!"
I wish them the best of luck and hopefully they won't turn out like Charles and Di. I loved Princess Di (who didn't) but Charles is a joke. I hope the Queen skips him as King as her last wish and that William is made King.

Imagine Prince Charles and Camilla being King and Queen! What a laugh!!!
I miss Princess Diana. She was so lovely. I believe she was too young and in love when she married. She might have known about the Rottweiller but maybe she figured Charles would forget about her. Maybe she thought that he would just love her so much but it didn't happen for her and along the way she kind of cracked. She felt humiliated beyond belief. She probably thought (I cannot believe that he is in love with that old dog instead of beautiful me).
Anyway she was hurt and angry and did what she did to hurt Charles. He still didn't budge because he was such an unfeeling man.
So she did what she did to hurt him........
As for today William and Kate looked so happy.
Although I enjoyed Princess Diana's wedding immensly more.
I hope Kate and Wills is forever happily ever after.
I agree! I think William has learned from the disaster his parent's marriage turned out to be...
A comment on the engagement ring: Let's get real, William saved a bundle of $$$ and gave his bride a truly sentimental token. Earning it? I'm not understanding that. She's William's wife. Isn't that enough?
Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
To me it was a day of joy and love, instead of people doing horrible things to one another. I say, Bravo to the both of them!!
Everyone must die but not everyone has lived
Very nice wedding. William and Kate looked happy and in love, unlike Charles when he married William's mother (saw that one, too, on TV).
I know Charles is now married to his "true love" of around 40 plus years, but I wish he would have married her back in the day (if his mother would have given the OK, that is) instead of subjecting a then teenager to such a torment.
I can never look at Charles and Camilla without thinking about his phone message to her, while both were still married to others, saying he wanted to be her tampon. Nothing says great phone romance like Charles, the future King.
Just a couple of random thoughts on the wedding today:
That's it for now.
- Since William and Kate have been living together for so long, I wondered if perhaps she was pregnant. She doesn't look like she's pregnant, but from the time they announced their engagement until the actual wedding took place, it was pretty quick.
- My how things have changed since Charles and Diana became engaged. I remember how there was such a big deal made about how Diana was still a virgin and that they had taken her to a Londor doctor to certify her virginity, which of course we all now know is a bunch of crock if we actually believed it back then. Now William and Kate have been openly living together for years and not a single comment is made about the fact that Kate is not a virgin.
- Regarding Kate's understated look today, I thought it looked nice but was expecting a little bit more glam. Maybe she was trying to be politically correct by trying not to be extravagant during these tough economic times.
- Regarding her bouquet, I was disappointed. I had a HUGE bouquet when I was married, it weighed about 10 lbs., was about three feet in total length and because of the weight I felt like I was carrying a bowling ball down the aisle. They were my dream flowers and our wedding pics are awesome. But it all comes down to what the bride wants. When one of my friends got married, she carried just a single white Calla Lilly with a white satin ribbon around it. I thought it was way too understated, but she got the idea out of a Martha Stewart wedding book and thought it was absolutely lovely.
- If I were Camilla, I would have been very uncomfortable listening to the wedding vows and sermon/homily)by the minister/priest. There were several times that there was mention of being faithful and that no person put the couple's vows asunder. Hello Camilla, we're talking about people like you.
- Ironically, I think Meredith Viera talked about how wonderful Charles and Camilla's own love story was, that they have been together 30 years, blah blah blah. What a bunch of crap. Camilla is a whore who broke up a marriage.
Any day above ground is a good day.
Thoroughly enjoyed these photos ....
Kate in her wedding part looks radiant.
Diana appears playful ....

I'd like to think that Diana is looking down on this all and loving it!!
Everyone must die but not everyone has lived
I never knew this but, after her funeral, the suicide rate in England went up 17% and cases of self harm by 44.3%, people most similar to Diana: women aged 25 to 44, whose suicide rate increased by over 45% bc they identified w/ her
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
I didn't know that, thanks! I can completely understand, as I didn't have my first child until I was 34.
I believe Kate is 30, which is no spring chicken when it comes to fertility. If she wants to wait a year, maybe they did the math and decided that her biological clock was ticking. Or maybe they just loved each other and decided to spend the rest of their lives together!
I think Diana would be very proud of and happy for William. Kate seems to be good for him and good for the royal family too.
Any day above ground is a good day.
Wow. Did she ever look gorgeous. So.... regal. Fitting eh?
It would be so nice if Charles could just conveniently keel over from a coronary before his mother passes on. Poor Camilla would be beside herself!

What's so good about goodbye, when the best was yet to come?
She did a lot of good. She wasn't however the saint that we'd like her to be. Trust me, I was 12 years old when Diana died. I, and every other little girl in the world, wanted to BE Diana. I worshipped her for a long time too, but the more I know now, not so much. She was beautiful, and she was loved and she died to young, but she wasn't perfect.
The only Royal that will always get my undying respect is Queen Elizabeth. She has weathered so many storms, including the beating in the public eye she took after her sainted ex - daughter in law's death. I believe this woman takes her job - one I don't think she wanted any more than her father did - very seriously, and tries very hard to set a high standard for herself and her country, and she highly values her past and the traditions it holds, while doing her best to keep up with turbulent and changing times. I think her children and her sister have thoughtlessly humiliated her on several occasions, and she has always held her head up high and stood by her family. She could have played the game, held AIDS patients hands for photo ops and tried to be a media darling, but she didn't. She took a higher, harder road, one that most of us could never understand.
As a Canadian, I am very proud to consider myself one of her loyal subjects.
Charles.... eh.... notsomuch.
sorry this is an old post and I am only just reading through! However, the Queen Mother was not a commoner. She was Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon before marriage.The Queen Mother was also a commoner - like Diana - but she understood very well the importance of her role and behaved as such always (also, the Queen Mum was the greatest fag-hag in England - the sisters lover her!). She was not an exhibitionist ass-hole like Diana was.
Now I could be wrong, so correct me if I am, but I don't feel like the "Queen Mum" is as perfect as they want us to believe. The fact that she allowed her son to marry his long time mistress and is allowing him to still one day be King is against everything "royal". Camilla makes me wanna puke everytime I see her. Not because of anything Diana, just the fact that she is there. If Charles wanted her, he shoulda married her in the first place. What made her "okay" after Di's death?
I think that is why people loved Di so much because she was the closest thing to "real yet royal" on the scene. I don't think she was perfect, but I can see where she felt trapped by an overbearing MIL and a husband who was screwing his "high school sweetheart" from day one. I think she figured WTF, he is doing what he wants I will too. Which may not be the right way to handle things, but I have never been in the "royal loop" so I don't really know what is right.
Di did put her foot down when it came to her boys and allowed them to be raised as normal as possible. They got to go to Disney, see the world with their eyes and not through a tutor from a dungeon somewhere. I think that burned Queenie up too, but I think they have turned out just fine.

Elizabeth was put between a rock and a hard place with Camilla. She knew that no matter what they would continue to see each other, and perhaps she wanted to give their relationship some legitimacy. Besides, how do you deny your son the opportunity to be with who he loves, regardless of how badly he handled his first marriage.
I actually think that allowing the boys to see things through their "own eyes" as you put it was probably one of the few things Di and Liz agreed on. I always got the sense from that woman that she valued the childhood that she never really got to have, and would have wanted that for her grandsons.
Shit there is many high school sweethearts i had, but my parents still said no lol. And when and if my son says he has a love of his life, and i can tell she is the left overs after the pool been drained for a year. I got no problem denying him of his love lol. Sorry buddy my mother senses are tingling and oh she is so not it lol.
I just think the Queen made "Royal" exceptions for her precious Charles. Kinda like she bent the rules to suit her. I would have more respect for Charles and Camilla if he had given up his place in line for the crown as other royals have in their situation.
From what I understand (could be wrong) Queenie knew about his feelings for Camilla way before Di and she forbid him see her, much less marry her to keep the up royal broohaha (did I just type that). She didn't care about anyone's feelings, just heirs and staying "royal". That wasnt fair to Di or Charles.

I am pleased they seem to be giving the newlyweds some breathing room.. wishing them a long and happy life together..
It can't just be one or the other ; paps were all over, in front of, behind ; There is even 1 picture of the FRONT of the car as the driver was driving for crying out loud- no one can drive with those flashes going off all at once. And yes the driver had too much to drink AND Princess Di did not even have a belt on, which could have saved her life potentially. Its all a mix of all factors.
ps I find it foreshadowing that Princess Di got Prince Charles' name wrong in her vows at their own wedding...lol

Cannes documentary to show dying Princess Diana photo - I say bring it on.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1385357/Unlawful-Killing-Cannes-documentary-dying-Princess-Diana.html
That should stir up some shit. I can't wait to see it.
"in this country".... doesn't that mean that they will simply show the infamous "last picture" that the italian magazine Chi already published in 2006 :
The distressing image, Diana??s blonde hair and features clearly visible, has never been publicly seen in this country.
It will be shown around the world but not in the UK.
you talking about this pic hun? http://www.anorak.co.uk/wp-content/u...ath-picure.jpg
yes, that's the one
I remember that when that picture was published the British press called it an "outrage", so I was expecting some gruesome image but it's basically princess Diana and an oxygen bottle.
it's confirmed :
A spokesman for the filmmakers said: ??The picture has been published in full before, in many parts of the world. We acquired the image from an Italian magazine, which had already published it in full. It is also widely available on the web.
??We are therefore not publishing anything that the rest of the world has not already seen elsewhere.??
So, the new movie will show the same picture rjbrasher posted.
Really? Seems to me that they BOTH cheated throughout their marriage because neither one wanted to be married to the other. As for Charles and Camilla, well, they HAVE been together for 30 years and it was THEIR love story, so blah, blah, blah all you want...she wasn't the whore...she was the love of his life that he wasn't ALLOWED to have or flaunt. Princess Di never was for him and the fact that he couldn't have who he wanted for a wife and show that in public really sucked. Princess Di was who she was because of her marriage to Charles. Without that, she'd have been a nobody...
I'm not knocking any of the work she did because she was a truly amazing woman, but to portray her as a martyr is ridiculous! She was human and she died. Period. End of story. Yes, her legacy lives on, but she was no saint and shouldn't be portrayed as such. This whole royal wedding is wayyy too out of hand. One day of news on the day of the wedding was quite enough. It's sickening already!
Well if that is the case then "Prince Not So Charming" should have done the right thing and forfeited his place in line to the thrown as other "Royals" had done in the past all in the name of love. Why marry someone knowing in your heart that you are not be loyal to her? Selfish.
Di was no "Saint", but I think her heart was in the right place when it all began. You can only bang your head on the wall for so long.

From what I have read, Charles was cheating with Camilla, the unfaithful wife of a friend right up to the wedding. Don't know how long it went on from there, but maybe you are right and they did have a 30 year relationship. He should never have gotten engaged to a girl still in her teens with a pedigree (oh so very mportant to the Royals at that time), with stars in her eyes and a fractured family, hoping for more. Charles should have stepped up and inisisted he wanted to marry his "true love" from the beginning and saved many people a lot of misery.
No, Diana was not a saint, but she did do good works, which her sons have seemed to recognize in their own charity work.
