Diana - Princess Of Wales

[Butterbun]

They can't seem to let this poor woman rest in peace. Every so often someone brings her name up attached to some underhand goings-on. I wonder how her sons feel when they see things like this?

you're not helping with this post!

[RATTER15]

Then give it a rest!!

Diana was also terribly tormented when she was alive - mostly relative to he husband's behaviour.

Wonder how her sons felt when sitting at breakfast with their new 'Mommy'?

[Baldric]

What are you talking about, do you have a link?

[gness]

The dead make easy targets, BB.....x

THis is some scumbag journalist from the Mucky Media claiming in court (the Rebekah Brooks phone tapping case) that Diana gave him some confidential Palace information. He more likely nicked it IMO.

[sir.prize]

Mucky Media! BBC?

no, sir.prize, the claim comes from a News of the World man, the BBC have just reported it.

[Hopkirk]

Has it occurred to anyone that the NOTW journalist might be telling the truth?

She was well known for trying to use the press against the firm.

[youngmafbog]

And you dont think their may be an element of truth in it Canary?

[sir.prize]

Yes jno I know that. Maybe my post was misleading.

According to the NotW journalist (the mucky one) Princess of Wales later called him to check he had received it.

I don't think he 'nicked' it . . . .

the NOTW journalist might be telling the truth?

I'm sure that happened a lot... but it's kind of convenient to blame the dead, who can't be cross-examined.

[Caribeing]

And continuous jokes about her death which I think is terrible "Mock The Week" responsible for quite a few. It must be horrible for her sons to hear all this as they are not in a position to answer back, let her rest in peace.

The Royals must look back to the deferential days of Edward and Mrs Simpson with envy. The common people didn't need to hear of the goings on of their betters. Now everything is splashed all over the front pages.

[sir.prize]

Did you say 'betters' Sandy? Hope you don't mean Camilla . . .

[Prudie]

Her name will always come up, as it does with anyone from history. I agree with sir prize's first post. She may have been a bit unbalanced at times but hardly surprsing with the way she was treated.

[sandyRoe]

'When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then a gentleman?'
'Betters' isn't a word I'd use to describe the Royals but it must have been part of the mindset of the establishment then when almost the entire world knew but the press here in the UK said nothing.

Its a wonder poor Diana isn't getting blamed for the World recession, she gets blamed for everything else.

[Zeuhl]

She was a public figure. It goes with the job.

Perhaps her sons would prefer it if their parents had been 'ordinary' instead.

But then they'd probably be having much more mundane lives than they are now.

When Diana was killed the french media was full of the news that she was pregnant at the time. Not a word of this appeared in the UK press, not that she was likely to sue anyone...strange innit?
