In this video I react to the life and mysterious death of Princess Diana. This is the first time I'm learning about her. She's such an iconic figure in British Royal history that I thought it was about time to discover who she was. I'm actually shocked to learn some of the revelations surrounding both Princess Diana's life and death that are discussed in this video.

What he’s failed to mention is that Diana was the daughter of an Earl and was herself titled Lady Diana prior to being married he made out like she was just from a rich family
Adj0191 also diana had a direct line to the royals Via the Spencer-Churchill line, Princess Diana is related to Winston Churchill, former British prime minister.
She's properly more royal than the royals themselves.
There were 4 people in the car - the only sensible one (the bodyguard) survived as he was wearing his searbelt.
It is disputed that Trevor Rees-Jones was wearing a seat belt.
The reason diana had no seat belt on as it's hard to snort coke of her boyfriends cock will wearing one "Jimmy carr" 2007 🙊
I would take this video with a massive grain of salt. For some reason they are presenting conspiracy theories as factual.
Just as a few points:
There were no evidence that the seat belts were tampered with.
Unlawful Killing was never banned in the UK. It was just never certified, just as it was never released in the US. The publisher was afraid they would be taken to court for slander.
They had certainly not "outrun the paparazzi", considering the fact that Paparazzi had to phase court in France for taking pictures of Diana after the crash.
The argument that the people at the courts were "obligated" to side with the royal family is ridiculous. It's based on a massive misunderstanding of what the Kings Council (then the Queens Council) is.
Unlawful Killing is not a factual documentary. It's the ravings of a man who lost the son he loved.
The courts are controlled by the Royal family which is why none of them will ever face a court in the UK no matter what they do. If your taken to court for a crime it will be HRH vs YOU.
Well said. I’m surprised by the level of bias in this video clip.
I now know where Harry gets his warped sense from and the more I read and watch I realise how damaged Harry is from all this
I couldn't agree more with you. The icing on the cake was at the end when he spoke about Harry being in love?! When we all know that Harry is just Megan's lap dog .
👏👏👏
Nothing mysterious about her death she was travelling in a car without a seat belt on which was driven at 60mph into a bridge post by a drunk driver, yes it was a tragedy but purely accidental.
Yes, prince Andrew, Edward and Princess Anne in the sit down Wedding Group
Mmmmmm?? ?? ….. Re prince Harry’s father
DNA proved he is Charles son.
Well notified before her death.

I don't believe the driver was drunk. Driving very rich/aristocratic people was his job. I do not believe he would drink before driving very well-paying employers in central Parisian traffic at midnight on a Saturday night. Dodi Fayed's father *owned* the hotel he and Diana were in. Both Dodi and Diana were fitness fanatics. I believe that Dodi would have detected any alcohol on an intended driver's breath, and demanded another driver - after all, his father *owned* the hotel.
There is one thing no one has brought up, The Queen Mother and Diana's grandmother were close friends, and they plotted for Diana and Charles to marry
Precisely. Arranged marriages were still not uncommon among Royalty and Aristocracy at that time.
There is nothing strange about that, until recently it was simply a matter of fact that the family would arrange most of there own marriages for the direct heirs to somone who they believed to be suitable.
There was no plotting it was simply how things were done, sometimes the marriages worked out and people were happy and sometimes they didn't
I'm not defending the practice things seem much better now, but That was just how theese things were done and it has never been a secret to anyone who knows anything about the royal family.
@@simonorourke4465 King Charles never loved Lady Di. Queen Camilla was and is and will be the true love of the King. True love never die
@@leahengland6704 I'm not sure why your telling me this as I already know that Charles and Diana didn't really love each otherin the end, and I am fully aware that Camilla is the true love of his life. They have both been happily married for many years now and it is obvious for all to see how much they love each other.
Four facts about Diana:
1 She was the first celebrity to be photographed in the press shaking hands with an AIDS patient in hospital, while not wearing gloves. This was in, I think, 1983. People were paranoid about HIV-AIDS at the time - some people thought they might catch it from being in the same building as an HIV patient. She was also photographed holding and cuddling a baby with AIDS. This changed the whole attitude to AIDS patients in Britain.
2 She raised awareness about land-mines in war zones, and the law on their use was changed.
3 She spoke publicly about her own problems with eating disorders (anorexia nervosa and bulimia). This was something that had never been spoken about so publicly before.
4 She raised the profile of British fashion designers by frequently wearing their creations - and she was extremely photogenic with a perfect figure.
I was a late teenager when she died. My Mum came into my bedroom on that Sunday to tell me. I cried in bed all morning - don’t know why. I highly doubt her death was a conspiracy. There were too many random events and actions leading up to her death. I still believe this was an accident under a stressful situation with the paps chasing her.
Chamilla was always the love of Charles's life but the Queen didn't approve.
She approved of, got on very well with, Camilla later in life, but in earlier years when Charles was shagging Camilla she (Camilla) was married.
Don’t put this shit on the queen. It at the time wouldn’t of been viewed as acceptable by the institution or probably the public. At that time Britain like everywhere else didn’t except mix race marriages- I’m sooo grateful how we have moved on and become a much more understanding society (well some of us)
@Angie Davies read magnolias comment on here. She is correct. I am 70, and saw it happen.
I don't believe this is right; I've always thought it was more the case that, at the time, Charles was not at the stage where he felt ready to get married and Camilla wasn't prepared to wait around for years, understandably, and (not much later?) married Parker-Bowles and started a family.
@@nightowl5395 no she never was of the right blood group.
I sincerely hope that you don't take all of this as the gospel truth Steve.
Agreed, this Simon Whistler is more than a bit biased here.
No, Harry is definitely Charles' son. The red hair is from the Spencer family (Diana's family). The picture of her dancing in the black dress was taken at the White House when President Reagan was in situ. The man she was dancing with is John Travolta.
I really do not believe in the conspiracy theories surrounding Princess Diana's death. She was a very complicated person. She did a great deal of good by putting the spotlight on important causes, but she was emotionally unstable (mainly due to her painful upbringing) and had various affairs with married men. Her end was tragic, but I really do believe Henri Paul was drunk and caused the accident and if she had been wearing her seatbelt she would have survived. There was one survivor - her bodyguard - and he was the only person wearing a seatbelt (which kind of debunks the whole conspiracy theory that the seatbelts had been tampered with). This is my opinion only.
I agree with all that you say but we now live in an age where feelings are more important than facts.
She was raised to be an aristocrat but her training was not really to be a princess. I believe that she was somewhat naive but compassionate in the extreme.
Oh the red hair is absolutely proof i mean how could that not be taken as fact 🙄😂😂😂😂😂
As for the tunnel security cameras, they may not have worked for years.
As for the rest of it I agree with a lot of the other comments he’s mixing facts with speculation and presenting it all as fact
If she had worn a seat belt she would have lived
The man that Diana is dancing with is John travolta. I personally think this was a bit one sided. I don’t believe all blame should be on Charles.
To be honest, it's actually the queens fault...she forced Charles to marry someone suitable and not the woman he always wanted Camilla.
@@stevenbalekic5683 It was very much an arranged marriage - the Queen Mother was involved as Diana's grandmother, Lady Fermoy, was a senior member of the QM's household. They plotted together and firstly tried to get Charles interested in Diana's elder sister. Charles was getting on a bit and needed to produce an heir.
Hi Kim. as they say. It takes two to tango. I don't know if you know this. Charles had an affair with Camilla. Before Diana had an affair with Dodi. And Charles has got another son with Camilla. a part from William and Harry. Can't remember he's name. But you should find it on TH-cam. And he does look like Charles. it's already been on TH-cam. From 🇬🇧👍👍 an old cockney gal
@@mariafletcher6603 stop believing all the rubbish you read. Charles does not have another son with Camilla. That man is a nutter.
I love Diana. I went to London after she died and saw the flowers. It was amazing... so sad
The rumour of James Hewitt being Harry's father was around way back because of certain similarities, mainly the ginger hair. However, red hair runs in Diana's family. One of her sisters had red hair, and one of his cousins on the Spencer side also has red hair. Harry definitely looks like King Charles and Prince Philip around the eyes.
There were conspiracy stories circulating about her death, which some people believed at the time. However, there was a full enquiry. The crash occurred as the vehicle being driven at high speed and she was not wearing a seatbelt. This video seems to be based purely on rumours and conspiracy theories which were around 20 years ago, rather than the facts we know today.
the rumor of james Hewitt was to throw people off the fact that Princess Anne is the one with 2 baby daddies. Prince HARRY and Prince Philip are pratically twins minus the red hair
James hewitt is not Prince Harrys father. Their affair began after Prince harry was born. There were other men before that. But James Hewitt is not Harrys father. Inconsistencies in the story by this man make it obvious that he has either not done his homework or just taken a lot of information and thrown it together in any old way. Even if he had read her book he would have known the series of events. If he can't get the parts about her life right, then he isn't going to be able to get the parts about her death right either.
And Harry looks exactly like Prince Philip did when he had a beard. Spitting image.
He seriously needs to check his facts …. Nothing more than a tabloid view!
I agree he needs to get his FACTS right
Prince Harry was born in 1984, Diana met Hewitt in 1986!
Diana was a passenger in a car being driven at high speed by a drunk driver and she was not wearing a seat belt. Where is the mystery in that scenario?
Oh i don't know, maybe the fact she highlighted in an interview that they wanted her gone, oh and even stated in a car accident.
Scandal sells papers .
It was Diana’s decision to dispense with her official police protection. Mohamed El-Fayed should have been protecting her that night and failed abysmally.
The marriage should never have happened,they barely knew each other. They never stood a chance. The institution was responsible for the outcome.
Charles didn’t come out of it well and if he had been allowed to marry Camilla first time round, none of this would have happened. Diana’s death was a tragedy,but I don’t believe the conspiracy theories. She was treated badly but really they just didn’t know how to deal with her.
Charles and Camilla were meant to be together. Diana wasn’t perfect and should be allowed to rest in peace.
I think this is a very one sided view of the story.
Is it possible Diana was murdered? Yes. Is it likely? Probably not. There isn't really much evidence for it, beyond some obvious motivation. But the motives strike me as quite weak. I think Whistler's script is a bit slanted. He often chooses the more sensational 'facts' (i.e. theories) over more boring ones. I wouldn't put too much faith in some of things trotted out in this video. By the way, there was a survivor, bodyguard Trevor- Rees-Jones, who always maintained it was a simple accident.
A friend of mine said it best when we heard the news at a camping trip: "This is a conspiracy theorist's dream".
Still absolutely insane, it took so long for the ambulance with Diana in to get to the nearby hospital, over an hour for a 10 minute journey, even more insane was her body being embalmed illegally, less than 12 hours after her death.
Her funerals the 2nd most watched event on Earth behind the Queen.. That's how much people love her
She didn't meet James Hewitt until 1986 two years after Harry was born and she met Dodi in 97 not 95
Diana’s seatbelt was jammed so she couldn’t put it on. It’s worth watching podcast by James English, who interviews man who ran Mr Al Fayeds’ bodyguards & knows Trevor Rees Jones, who was the bodyguard in the car on the night of the accident. This man has upmost affection and respect for Dodi’s father, Mr Al Fayed for whom he worked for many years.
There was nothing mysterious about her death. Some people just can't accept that accidents do happen, even to famous people.
Everyone called her Princess Diana, she wasn't a Princess in her own right, her title was Diana, Princess of Wales.
There's going to be plenty of comments on this one.
Harrods always have those lights up. It's one of, if not the most luxury/expensive designer store in London. It sells clothing, shoes, bags, electronics, furniture, groceries & has restaurants. It's much more bigger than it looks in those photo.
For a lighter take on this topic (and others) you should react to 'Mitchell and Webb - Conspiracy Theories'. The full video is just over 7 minutes long, and seems to be fine copyright-wise.
I concur with @H vM. Please bear in mind the obvious bias in this video. Also she decided to meet Mother Theresa. Not a good look.
If we're being nitpicky, she shouldn't be called Princess Diana, because she wasn't born into royalty, instead she should be called like Simon said: Diana, Princess of Wales. Also, the video said she had two brothers, which is incorrect; she only had one brother, Charles Spencer, the current Earl Spencer. This whole video seems very biased against King Charles. There WAS one person in the crash who survived, and the lone survivor DID wear a seatbelt.
She’s known universally as either Princess Diana or Lady Di!
@@jeanlind7540 I know, that's why I said nitpicking. Just because someone is known as something doesn't make it the official title.
@@jeanlind7540 She was Princess of Wales like Catherine, NOT Princess by birth. Only daughters of Queen/Kings or princes called "PRINCESSES". Lady Di wasn't King's daughter! 😉
the entire world calls her Princess Diana like stfu
also she had TWO BROTHER ideot. Charles and John
The photograph you went back to is of John Travolta dancing with Princess Diana at the White House.
When you get in to a car with a drunk driver and don't wear a seat belt🤷♂️
Her seat belt was apparently tampered with.
People love a conspiracy. I’d recommend watching Lucy Worlsey investigates history in particular Royal Family mysteries
One of the things to remember is the Royal family have a policy of not Talking about things publicly to a certain point. Its a very British thing to present a united front and a public face. this of course is changing in recent years for the public. Part of the rationale for limiting who the Royals marry is that they think people brought up in the aristocracy would function better with the rules within the royal family.
In this same period of time we see the breakup of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson . Even as much as he said Royals can marry who they like, the likelihood that it would be a common non rich person is likely to be low as they are not likely to socialise with the lower classes
I think a lot at the end there was just conspiracy theories to be honest. Diana was a legend. She would take her sons at night to visit Aids patients in hospital, not in front of the cameras. And made sure they sometimes met people a lot worse off than themselves basically. It's why Harry is how he is. Unfortunately younger people these days don't know what she was actually like & a lot of older people seem to have forgotten what she went through & how much we were all gutted when she died. I still remember what I was doing when I saw the breaking news that she had been in an accident. It was a sunday morning & my 2 year old had got me up at stupid O'clock in the morning.
I was 13 I think when she died. I remember on her funeral day, we went to the coast for a day out, hardly any cars on the road.
That is a truly awful video, with an entirely one sided account of the unhappy marriage and its reliability is shown by its omission of the fact that there was a survivor, her body guard, he was was the only one who was wearing his seat belt.
The marriage shouldn't have happened, Camilla was always the woman he loved, but he didn't want to get narried in his early twenties, and she being a little older than him, went elsewhere. But he needed to get get married for duties sake, and he picked someone who he had nothing in common with. It was miserable, but you should remember that the things she said about him shd her experiences were said during her separation and divorce, anyone who has heard how people talk about their partner at that time, will understand its not always the most balanced of accounts. She was also influenced by a BBC journalist who fed her lies about threats to her from Charles in order to get scoops. The notion that Diana was a threat either to the Government or the Royal family was ludicrous, any child she might of had would not affect the Royal Family at all, its religion would be irrelevant. There never was a motive.
She died in a foriegn country, outside the direct control of the UK security services. The car and driver belonged were provided by Dodi. The journey was not planned, they had gone back to where they were staying, it seems likely Henri Paul believed he had finished for the night and had a drink. Dodi and Diana decided however to go out again, perhaps Paul said nothing about drinking because he shouldn't have been. The drove at speed to get away from photographers, but the route was unplanned so the idea that cameras were turned off in that tunnell deliberately is plane silly. This was 1997, long before computer controlled cctv. The diver momentarily lost control while driving at speed, that is it.
She died on my 14th birthday, I remember my mom coming into my room to wake up me and my friend and she said "happy birthday, princess Diana is dead, now get up if you want the whole day at Drayton Manor" it's always stuck with me lol. On another note in a way she kind of left the people to look out for her sons, because she went public about how bad her marriage was I think if the public, here and abroad, had even got a hint either of them was being forced into loveless marriages there would of been a backlash on the royal family.
I can remember watching their wedding and it was total shock when she died, most brits will know where they were and what they were doing when they found out, and then and how can you forget Earl Spencer’s (Diana’s brother) eulogy?
Her brother Earl Spenser was remarkable for his absence when she was struggling with her new life. Perhaps they phoned each other, but none of her family seemed willing to support her at the time. If it had been my daughter or sister who had been bulimic and suicidal, I would have taken her away immediately.
@@rosemarielee7775 yes it’s sad he was living in South Africa
I'd definitely take this with pinch of salt he's left a lot of things out an told only half truths
There will always be conspiracy nuts but it was mainly the press and magazine editors
The white fiat uno theory to me is most intriguing, the person driving that was found deceased inside the locked car which was then set a blaze, his death was ruled a suicide. How on earth can you unalive yourself then set the car on fire with you locked inside
I’d take this man’s vlog with not a pinch, more like a tablespoon of salt. Ridiculous conspiracy theories, I loved Diana for her kindness and empathy but she did, like all of us have flaws, so does King Charles but you should research all the things he has done for young people and charity. After the marriage broke down I blamed camilla for years but in hindsight I think initially Charles did try to make the marriage work but he and Diana were just incompatible and he was eventually able to marry the true love of his life.
This video you've watched is an overall snippet and summary of her life and royal married life basically. It includes all the major points though.
The main thing was she was loved by the people, the people saw her as the 'People's princess' because at the time, a lot of her charitable causes was reaching out to the working man and the sick and needy or taboo subjects that were not typically known of what the members of the royal family would do. So she knocked down barriers between monarchy and public because of her kind intentions. But this actually went against her with the royal family and their beliefs. An iconic thing She did was shaking hands and touching people with an aids to break down the stigma which a big deal at the time.. The Royal family found her difficult for not complying to royal traditions. But the public found she was less cold and warm hearted. She did a lot for the minority groups in society like LGBT, poverty, homeless, addictions, mental health. All this again was not what the royal family was as appropriate at the time.
There was a lot of pressure on Charles to find a bride and she fitted all the criteria, age, aristocracy etc... But it didn't work out like that, which is how there marriage deteriorated both had separate affairs...She became more famous and was all over the media in newspapers all the time, ecspecially beacuse of her Royal position and because of her personal and public life with Charles and the family.
Alot of the public could sympathise with her in her royal role and thats why her funeral was such a huge event in 1997 the whole of the nation and the world was in mourning because of the way she died and it made people question it with conspiracy theories that you've already seen...
I would recommend you trying to view Diana's Panorama Interview with Martin Bashir a British journalist in 1995 It was a very out of the ordinary public interview to the Royal family at the time, they classified it as washing dirty laundry In public but she was expressing her own point of view. That contributed to Charles divorcing Diana. Everything she did was opposed to the Royal families traditions... The public knew that Diana was not Charles actual love and that Camilla was. He couldn't marry Camilla at the time because of her age/ divorce status.
I would also recommend you learning about her relationship with mother Teresa, Elton John and celebrities like John Travolta and Michael Jackson x
Her and Michael Jackson, were friends and both had similarities.. both had tough childhoods, both loved children, both were the most famous people in the world and both were always talked about in the media positively and negatively
Their media lives connected them
Diana was set up by Martin Bashir, who played on her paranoia.
Only one person lived it was a security guard he was wearing a seat belt but to this day carn t remember what happens he had a brain injury.
It would be cool to see your reaction to Diana's panorama interview,it's a really sad interview.
The queen married the man she loved, but she prevented her sister Margaret from marrying the man she loved because he was a divorcee, Charles always wanted to marry Camilla, but she wasn't 'pure' enough, Charles was sent away on a long trip abroad and she married someone else, who had been dating his sister Anne. Had Diana worn a seat belt she would most likely have been ok.
Spot on.
That’s not strictly true.
It wasn't just the queen who was against it though was it, the entire family and the government of the time were against the Margaret marriage, in the case of Charles and Camilla it would also have been the majority of the public, the church of England and the whole establishment along with the government who would have been against it.
It's always best to look into this sort of history qnd check the facts rather than just watching g a few episodes of the crown and mistaking it for a factual documentary rather than an expensive and high class soap opera.
The Queen did not prevent Margaret from marrying the man she wanted. She gave her the option , marry and give up your royal privileges or give him up. Margaret chose Royalty
I am not a fan of Charles at all, and I really loved Diana, I was alive and lived through it all. But the theme of this video is off and there's a lot that seems to be influencing this revisionist take on what happened. Every single one of Diana's post-divorce relationships were with men that the press ALWAYS referred to as Playboys, as all rich young men with yachts and planes and champagne lifestyles were. The vast majority of press headlines with Dodi were "So In Love" and "Happiness At Last". Dodi's Father has attempted to make reason out of why his Son died and it's understandable, but the driver he employed at his Hotel in Paris did drive into a concrete pillar in that tunnel. There were 4 people in the car, her private bodyguard wore the seatbelt and lived. You don't knock somebody off in a car accident, as most people walk away from them unhurt. You crash a plane or sink a boat.
It is disputed that Trevor Rees-Jones was wearing a seat belt.
Diana was having affairs with men before her divorce. That is why the Queen ordered a divorce
That picture is John Travolta dancing 💃
I see why it’s confusing when he talks about James Hewitt but the photo of Diana dancing is with John Travolta. I believe Harry’s father is King Charles but if you Google James Hewitt there is quite a likeness.
That's not James Hewitt, that man she's dancing with is John Travolta lol.
Diana was a lovely person., but did have mental health problems. When Charles married Diana he finished his affair with Camilla. He found Diana’s moods difficult to cope with, and was not very supported of her. Diana was the first to have an affair, and went on to have many more. Indeed with married men destroying their marriages. The Queen stepped in and ordered them to divorce. Diana craved attention and on the night of the accident the paparazzi were told when they would leave. One man survived. He was wearing a seatbelt. She did do a lot of good and had a kind heart.
Not sure. Hang out in Paris with Egyptians and pursued by paparazzi, chances are bad things will happen.
Or good food. Or something. It's always going to be interesting.
What you'll possibly not realise, Steve, is that members of royal and aristocratic families were traditionally expected to marry someone of their own rank. Hence a prince was expected to marry a princess - either from a foreign royal family or a distant branch of their own royal family - although there were instances of first cousins marrying in the past, when no others were available. Hence, King Edward VII (as Prince of Wales) married a Danish Princess; King George V (as Duke of York, as his elder brother the Prince of Wales, had died at the age of 28), married a Princess of Teck - actually the same one as his late brother, the Prince of Wales, had also been engaged to! (The Teck family were descendants of one of the youngest sons of King George III, but not through the slightly older son, who was the father of Queen Victoria. With the exception of this princess, who had since become Queen Consort; they lost their princely titles when King George V changed the rules in 1917, and their family names was also changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the more English-sounding Cambridge). George VI married a commoner as Duke of York, but this wasn't seen as much of a problem because he was never expected to become King, and Elizabeth II married a Greek prince! There were however no suitable non-Catholic princesses in Europe at the time who were of a similar age to Charles, and so at length he was allowed to marry Diana, as she was of a lower rank. In an ideal world he may have married Camilla in the first place, but her family wasn't even noble and so, she was deemed unsuitable.
There’s three sides to every story. Despite everything, I support the monarchy and know Prince William will be a fantastic King. It’s the kids that suffer the most, I really admire William for his strength and dedication to his family, despite a crazy childhood. Catherine was truly the making of him.
prince Andrew on the left and Prince Edward next to him
Henry Paul according to Doctors at the hospital had found no alcohol in his blood
Please don’t buy into the conspiracy theories . Diana was very loved , but with the perspective of time the UK people have come to realise that Charles was also a victim in all of this , and we are happy that the King is happy . Apart from this prick down here who claims the opposite . All the best !
That is John Travolta! Lol
Special lady
Wow, I dont really have particularly strong opinions when it comes to Charles and Diana, but I cant remember the last time I watched something so one-sided. And you're right Steve, there are two sides to every story and this guy is obvioulsy a big Diana fan. It was an unhappy marriage and her death was an absolute tragedy, but as i've seen in other comments, if your driver is drunk and you're not wearing a seatbelt, it's not going to end well.
All the conspiracy discussions ignore the biggest tragedy; two children lost their mother.
oh here comes the paid royal bots from Clarence House. wasting out tax payer money on this nonsense.
Conspiracy theories will never go away, no matter how ridiculous they are. Diana was a very manipulative person adept at getting her own way (watch for the coy glances - making sure she was getting the adoration she craved). Charles was much maligned when, basically, he was edged in to a marriage he did not want (Camilla was always his first love). Anecdotes from school friends frequently revealed Diana's true character. The biography of her life frequently pointed to the fact that she was unprepared for 'royal life' and all that it entailed. I find that very hard to believe when she was bought up in the royal circle and spent much time at Sandringham before she ever got involved with Charles. Unfortunately, Harry is very much a mirror image of his mother, heavily influenced and lead by a wife who is just as good as an actress as Diana was.
It is refreshing to see that not everyone says that Diana Spencer was a saint! My sister knows someone who was at school with Spencer, and she said she was a bully.
It’s funny how everyone shouts be kind crap while always taking a side and slating one or they other. The simple truth was Charles never had the choice to marry the woman he loved. He married Diana to produce his heirs. He never loved Diana and Diana inly became manipulating when the prince and the institution turned against her. I hope history is kinder than the people of today as in my eyes they were both victims of the institution of the day.
@@angiedavies5530 Sorry but her manipulating started long before she married Charles.
@@keithparker2206 any proof? Apart from a nobody on twitter who said her sister went to school with her? I can give you hundreds of videos proving how kind she was.
@@angiedavies5530 Kind does not mean she was not manipulative. Sorry the shred your dreams.
Frankly, I'd ignore the comments, for or against Diana, particularly her death (26 years ago!). We've been there, speculated, believed this or that, and surely by now that is the end of it. She was liked, she was not liked. Enough! Robert, UK.
The picture you looked at was John Travolta 😂
LOL are you serious? I'll have to go back and look at that.
In the wedding picture you have Prince Andrew on far left next to him Prince Edward. The bridesmaid on far right is Lady Sarah Chatto, then Sarah Armstrong-Jones the daughter of Princess Margaret the Queen's sister. You'll need to check on internet for the others as they are children of different minor royals. The man dancing with Diana is not James Hewitt, but John Travolta.
I did not know about the seatbelts.
Princess Diana was complicate person with relationship with Royal family and we were not surprised that Charles and Diana mismatch in marriage . However she did change Royal family and she serves lots of charities with grace and her death were shocking and heartbreaking. RIP Diana, Princess of Wales 😢❤
When you looked for the photo 9f James Hewitt you were looking at John Travolta.
Wierd I know, my mum still has a photo of her on the mantlepiece and lights a candle every year, she was obsessed with her, may were, she was a fabulous woman - I was 20 when she died, I remember the day well
Everyone watched the whole saga the papers were all over it from the very beginning every moment until the end.
You should watch Diana's funeral - It was really something special with everyone throwing flowers at the car as it went by....
I will never forget her and deeply respect her.
Prince Andrew on the left near him is Prince Edward both Charles's brothers, just because Harry had the same hair coiour as .Hewitt,but there is red hair in Diana' s family.
Princess Diana died because she did not wear a seatbelt. Neither did Dodi Fayed. Her body guard wore one, and survived. Seatbelts save lives. It's that simple.
No mysytery here.....just a drunk driver and the hazard of not wearing a seat belt.
What a load of BS. Geez.
I agree with Simon below, a huge amount of salt. The major point against it not being an accident is the driver would have had to be in on it and he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Diana had a lot of emotional baggage going into the relationship and yes the family could have supported her better. But she made a lot of very bad choices. The one fact you cannot deny is she was a very warm hearted person. She would literally run towards the boys regardless of who was watching if she had been away. She was the first 'celebrity' to shake the hand and sit with gay men dying of AIDS. Personally I think that if she had gone on to marry Dodi. She would have said 'to hell with you lot, your my past' and would have left it there as it was obvious she was truely happy with him and he with her.
James Hewitt had red hair and a similar face, but denies it..Google him. The photo was of her dancing was with John Travolta in front of President Reagan and wife. Her funeral was on my son's 1th birthday and we had planned to go to the West End to look for his present. But we (my daughter too) ended up watching the funeral first.
Charles knew he shouldn’t be marrying Diana also before the wedding , they had nothing in common ,nothing in common in conversation , he liked the country life and Classical music ,she liked the city and pop music they were as different as chalk and cheese and in temperament also so different he was an intellectual ,she was emotional due to her Belima so they drifted apart and with Camilla in the mix the marriage was doomed 🤷♀️
THAT IS JHON TRAVOLTA DANCING WITH LADY DI NOT JAMES HEWITT
Harrods also always looks like that. With the lights.
There is so much propaganda about Diana because she died young and pretty. Especially the breakup of her marriage to King Charles. She admitted having affairs first, had numerous affairs throughout the marriage including with married men. She worked with the press including setting up paparazzi shots of her, and with her children, to paint herself as the perfect parent when compared to Charles when the truth was far more complex. She died because she chose to give up her security, against advice, and then got into a car driven by a drunk driver and wasn't wearing her seatbelt.
She's been posthumously made into a saint because she died young and pretty so it's almost taboo to speak about who she really was and the hurt that she caused to other people.
THIS.
She was a saint when she was alive through her charitable work and campaign against landmines. "Numerous affairs" is an exaggeration.
@@PeakTrans SOME of her charitable work. Also no, you can’t be deemed a saint by the public, there’s an official process that the Vatican oversees.
@@PeakTrans Someone doesn't know their Diana history...Barry Mannakee, James Hewitt, Will Carling (led to the breakup of his marriage and his wife nearly named Diana as the third party in divorce filings), Oliver Hoare (she harassed his family home with over 300 crank calls when he broke up with her and then tried to blame his son when that was exposed), James Gilbey, The Earl of Pembroke to name a few...
@@TheQueenlucy There is a difference between an 'affair' and stalking/harassment by a mentally ill person. Her 'affairs' were far more of the latter.
There was a program on uk tv a long time ago stating these conspiraces it was very interesting ...can't remember what it was called .
Diana's passing was an accident she didn't have a seatbelt on and her driver was speeding in a drunken state and crashed.
the driver was not drunk.
Like Jack the Ripper (we'll never really know who the murderer actually was), we'll never know the truth on what actually happened on that sad day, but I remember where I was and what I was doing when the news broke in the wee small hours of the morning.
Occam's Razor. Drunk driver, not wearing a seatbelt.
That’s not James dancing with Diana it’s John Travolta. James is a red head like harry.
You were looking at a photo of Diana dancing with John Travolta not James Hewitt.
I’m nervous to watch this one! But, then I remembered that you are very respectful of difficult subjects, so I’ll have a look.x
Wow Steve don't you know what John Travoltra looks like....Also where did this man get all his info from especially conversations that occurred in private and in car journeys 🤔. I'm pretty sure that chauffeurs are supposed to check everything is ok with the car before every journey which includes safety checks ie seat belts and car locks ,fuel etc.
That’s John Travolta not James Hewitt 😂
If you come to the UK you should visit Diana's childhood home Althorp also her resting place
That would be interesting. I'll probably do that at some point when I'm in the area.
I think the guy she was dancing with was John Travolta.
Some info are incorrect here.
1. She's technically a teacher "aid", not the actual teacher.
2. He proposed when she's 19.
3. She had another job. She also worked as a nanny.
4. She gave birth to William when she's 21.
5. I'm on Diana's side but let's be fair. Charles was also pressured and didn't know how to handle broken people like Diana.
Mental health wasn't a thing back then.
6. Some member of the RF tried to help Diana, including Princess Margaret who was a rebel herself and Prince Philip who was always treated as an outsider. Unfortunately, Diana was quite stubborn, hence...
7. At 23, she's already pregnant with Harry. Harry was born in 1984, 2 months after Diana's 23rd birthday. If you're keen to detail, you can say that Harry is a Ginger version of Charles. Diana's father and siblings are gingers themselves.
@Reacting To My Roots. That man dancing with Princess Diana in that photograph is John Travolta and not James Hewitt.
The queen didn't ever say that it was someone else!
Harrods is a whole block
Not simons best vid by far.
Diana was a good hearted person, she wasn't ready for the Royal family.
Her demise was extremely sad for the whole country, for brits it's a bit like when elvis died to Americans! I was hosting a dinner party.
As for what happened, the driver was blinded kind of like how the race horse was done with ultrasonic from fake binoculars but with light not sound from a fake camera.
There is vid footage from the far side of the tunnel that shows a bright flash come from the tunnel, just before a bike with two riders exit.
I agree with many of the commenters. Be careful about accepting this. One of the main reasons for the death was that the Queen had withdrawn the royal security from Diana after her divorce. The Fayed security wasn't as good, and Mohamed al-Fayed was very autocratic. I've heard the story that, to avoid the paparazzi, there was a last-minute change of plan. Henri Paul - who was not sober - was ordered to drive a car, which may well have been pursued by the paparazzi. ( The security guard in the front seat survived, but has no recollection.) Comments by close family suggest that this is the story that they believe. This is why Harry gets so upset at not having Royal security.
At her funeral, her brother, now Earl Spencer, gave a brilliant eulogy. He praised her - but also acknowledged her faults. She was no saint. ( I have met him. She was brought up at first in Park Cottage, but when her father inherited the title, they went back to the magnificent family home, Althorpe House in Northamptonshire. I met the current Earl Spencer there; he was signing copies of a book he wrote on Prince Rupert. He is a very good historian.)
The considerable public support for her at her death was due to the public's (correct) belief that she'd been used. They wouldn't let Charles marry Camilla, so - for the sake of the succession - she was married off to provide the necessary "heir and a spare ".
Thanks for the informative and well thought out comment.
Oh dear, you are entering very controversial territory here. The late Princess of Wales's death was a tragedy in which European paparazzi played a significant part, but in the end was a result of a drunk driver hired by the Princess's boyfriend. The Wales' marriage should never have happened. Charles should have been allowed to marry the woman he loved, but outdated tradition forbade it. Anyone who suggests that the marriage's failure was a shared responsibility is vilified by those who insist that the late Princess was a saint without stain. In reality, the entire relationship was doomed from Day One.
Best comment out the lot , I totally agree 👍
Thats not Hewitt she's dancing wilh it's John Trivolta.
