    He was still a relatively young man here, aged 33. Despite his grief, and in front of an audience of 2 billion people, he delivered a speech more articulate than many seasoned world leaders could ever hope to make.

      I bet my sister would have done this if i had died in hospital 7 months ago now. I couldn’t have imagined my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE’s grief if this did happen but the 3 of them are grateful that I’m still alive today

      Exactly what my sister would’ve done if i had died in 2023 from being so ill. I finally spoke out of how it felt for my Mummy and my sister but it hit Woody.EXE the most knowing I was his only Queen he ever wanted and deserved. The 3 of them have been very traumatised in the last 19 months but I’m the most affected. I can’t believe it’s been almost 20 months since then

    His eulogy was so well written. I have seen this clip many times and I am always moved.
    I particularly love these followings moments :
    3:30, And here we come to another truth about her. For all the status, the glamour, the applause, Diana remained throughout a very insecure person at heart, almost childlike in her desire to do good for others so she could release herself from deep feelings of unworthiness of which her eating disorders were merely a symptom.”
    5:51 : “It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this - a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.”
    7:37 :”Above all we give thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to be able to call my sister, the unique, the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceable Diana whose beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds."

    That eulogy was everything. I remember at the time feeling like he was going to make a difference in the children's lives but I don't think I've ever saw them together more than once or twice, William is a future king whos loyaltys are to the crown til the day he dies and we all know how it played out for Harry! I dream about how different her life might have been if she'd have lived. How she would have been w her grandchildren. It would have been so lovely to see her with her children's children. ❤❤❤

    I remember watching the funeral , and alot of the coverage from the first announcement until then. I was a kid at the time, but my brother had just died about 6 months before and the young princes were the first people I had seen who were close to my same age and dealing with such a difficult thing as loss and grief. Except of course they had to do it publicly and control their emotions. And that made it feel personal to me although of course I didn't personally know them. But I watched it all, pretty much, and there was so much anger! People were mad at the royal family, mad at the queen, felt her grief was cold - felt she should have had the flag lowered- that she shouldn't have argued about sending the royal plane for the body- that she shouldn't have "made" the boys go to church the next day, and above all anger toward the paparazzi. I remember George Clooney coming on camera and saying he had told everybody that this was going to happen! That things were being allowed to get more and more out of control and someone was going to end up getting killed. And now it had happened! And we still see people being knocked down, actually chased... with their terrified children in tow. Everyone was so angry but nothing actually changed!! And I remember vividly people in the crowds outside Buckingham and the abbey and people randomly being interviewed and ALL of them expressing such hatred and vehement anger toward the paparazzi - and deservedly. But I NEVER EVER heard anyone step up and take their own share of the responsibility. Nor have I heard anyone in all the years since then do it. Because yes- the way the paparazzi behave is extreme, dangerous, and unacceptable- but why do they do it? Because a good photo, especially if it is in someway exclusive is worth ALOT of money! And why is it worth so much? Because people aren't satisfied with professional staged photos of celebrities - they want candid snapshots showing their real lives and if they are embarrassing or scandalous in some way all the better. And a magazine has these type of photos - especially an exclusive shot that the other ones don't have- they sell better- so much better that the magazines are willing to pay huge bounties to any jerk who comes in with a good shot no matter how he got it. But it NEVER seemed to occur to anyone that every time you bought a magazine with those juicy scandalous shots - you were paying the paparazzi who killed her! And the truth was - as angry as people were and as sincerely as they felt the loss - they didn't feel it ENOUGH to pass that magazine by and say no more!- entertaining shots aren't worth someone's life! - I'll settle for the magazine that uses professional shots from photo sessions. I can't really believe this thought process didn't cross anyone's mind but crossed mine at 9 years old- I'm not anymore intelligent than anyone else. It's just easier to be mad at someone else than to be mad at yourself or change in a way you really don't want too. But even at that age when everyone was saying "shame on you" to the paparazzi and rightly so!- no one was saying "and shame on me" for making it worth so much money that it got this out of control. And even since then, we see a poor mother being chased with her sobbing children and we say "that's awful!"...... as we buy the magazine with the photos of it!

      Lady Colin Campbell was involved in quite the scandal after she married. The divorce happened within a year of the wedding and her husband apologised to the RF and she has no contact at all with the RF. Everything she states in her interviews is just gossip. She has no first hand experience of the RF and relies upon "sources" - ie the media.

      He was settling personal scores, he felt obligated to the Royal Family and didn’t like it, if Diana hadn’t married Prince Charles thereby bringing the Spencers into,prominence, it’s very possible Althorp would have had to be sold due to crippling death duties, and a very acrimonious divorce. There is something very suspect about the Spencer’s. Johnny Spencer was a foul tempered bully who physically abused his wife. When she left him, taking her children with her he filed for divorce, but first called upon his mother in law to give a very brief false testimony about her daughters suitability as a mother, all untrue, he was granted full custody of the children and immediately shipped them off to boarding school, he made it impossible for Frances to see her children, telling them she’d abandoned them. Charles Spencer also physically abused his first wife, Victoria Lockwood, he is now onto his third divorce. His speech in the day if Diana’s funeral was a complete travesty, he hadn’t spoken to Diana in months before her death, sge had asked if she might have some accommodation at Althorp, and he flatly refused her . He spoke about caring for Diana’s sons, they would be cared for and nurtured by their “ blood family” he had very little to do with them, or with his own children he had by a multiplicity of women. He used her funeral to his own aggrandisement, he used her burial place and her possessions to make eye watering amounts of money as a public spectacle. He had zero regard for his family values or his “ blood family” his mother , who suffered from Parkinson’s disease and later brain cancer is buried in a sadly neglected plot in a little cemetery in the west of Scotland. Diana was also one for airing her imagined grievances in public, beautifully staged managed to show her sad eyes, bleating about the ills done to her whilst she was actively engaged in wreaking hurt to the women and children of the men she seduced , or claiming at least a modicum of responsibility for the suicide of the fiancée of another of her conquests , she was a 31 year old who spiralled into serious depression and later committed suicide on hearing the Squidgeygate tapes , where Diana feared she might be pregnant.
      And now we have Harry, displaying all the traits of the Spencer’s ….paranoia, delusions, insane jealousy and malice. If ever there was a victim in the Wales’s marriage it was certainly not Diana .
