Is anyone like me and fed up with hearing about princess Diana year after year on the anniversary of her death. I write this because my mum died of cancer on the same day aged 45 and every year they bring up Diana. So she did a lot for charity etc but my mum lived with cancer for 3 years before she died painfully and never got to see her grandchildren grow up. It really hacks me off .

Hi Spanner,
Sorry to hear about your Mother, I know how you are feel.
I too am sick of hearing about her. The Daily Express was my Daily rag but I got so sick of seeing her face in the paper I had to change.
People need to realise that she was a manipulative woman who also had affairs like Charles. You only need to look at Harry to see he belongs to Major James Hewitt and not Prince Charles, he is the spitting image of him.
It is time stop reporting on her and letting all these sad people who dote on her (yet never knew her) find another obsession.

My partner's mum died a few weeks before Diana, so he's always kinda 'resented her timing' (as too must fans of Mother Theresa who died the following Saturday and whose death was completely overlooked in the rush to show grief for Diana.
However, this will always happen. There are (mental) people commemorating the death of Elvis (vaguely talented rock 'n' roll singer) this week. Then we have September 11th (dangerously close to my birthday).
I guess we have to accept that some dates simply get 'hijacked' by bigger national news events.

With the greatest will in the world and I mean no disrespect by this. You mum was not a national icon.
My feelings on Diana aside, she was a public figure and this will always happen.
I expect your mother was like many of the people I see on a daily basis. Good and kind and don't deserve to suffer the way they are. But ultimately, it comes down to the fact that she was not an icon or a public figure.
It doesn't make her death any less painful or less significant. I suggest you tune all forms of Media out on the anniversary of your mothers death and concentrate on remembering her the way she would want to be remembered.
I'm sorry for your loss and this post really was not meant to offend.

I am in agreement with JohnLambert here. It is strange how just before her death she was totally out of favour with the media and then as soon as she died she suddenly became a 'saint'.
So yes, I feel like you do spanner - fed up with hearing about her.
I am sorry you lost your mum at such a young age. I too lost a parent from cancer at a young age. Life seems so unfair at times.

I'm fed up with it as well. I met her once and I agree with johnlambert. We were on holiday in Germany when she died & all the way back, all we heard was about Diana. It was worse when we got back to Britain. I feel sorry for William & Harry, but they're not the only ones to lose a parent so young - my son was only 16 when his dad died from cancer (it wasn't that long ago, either). Spanner7853, I feel for you. My husband was only 47 and he lived with it for 3 years, too.
At least Diana knew what she was doing & was in control of her life.

I worry about the people who keep on and on about her 10 years after her death. They didn't know her, she wasn't a family member to miss so haven't they got a life?
Her family should be able to remember and mourn without the outpouring of grief from the public.
My own father was a good person who would do anything for anyone and he too died without seeing his grandchildren. I feel for anyone in those circumstances.

It p__s me off too. It did even at the time she died. I had no empathy with or liking for the woman at all, yet I felt as though I was forced to mourn for her along with the rest of the nation.
Her level of goodness is a matter for personal opinion, but she hasn't been the only 'good' public figure to die in recent years, yet we don't revive our mourning for them every year.

i'm glad your all supportive. I wouldn't mind if they mentioned it now and again but it's every bloody year. I hate it and I hate her for it national treasure or not. She wasn't a princess she was as most of you have said manipulative to her favour. I completely agree that Harry is no way Charles' son. I wonder if he has noticed the similarity between harry and James Hewitt. *** 3 stars to all of you that replied. Think of me on 31st when it will be 10 years since my mum died and all they will be banging on about is a silly tart!!!!
Its my birthday on September 11th. It was my 21st too. When people ask my birthday and I tell them they ask me if i'm joking."Yes I am, I thought that would be a very amusing joke".
On the upside, now my mam remebers my birthday. We used to celebrate it on Sept 12th untill I was about 12 and we had to look at my birth certificate for something. She never remebered but she does now :) x
