Royal Chat - All Welcome! ?

Well it was me who first posted that Annie had called Diana "evil". Now I'm a well known Diana devotee but I do think we're splitting hairs a little bit. But maybe I'm wrong, mea culpa.

I don't know you personally Annie, so I won't comment on your personality, but I can say with no fear of contradiction that some of your posts are definitely not kind and compassionate.

Works both ways.

Thank you Elegran , I know from personal experience the emotional pain when criticism of the burial of a loved one is
expressed, perhaps Manakee’s parents read the criticism of their son’s burial. I hope not.

Elegran, thank you for pointing that out, it’s an important distinction. I have always found Annie to be a kind and compassionate person.

Thanks eazybee

Who is the 'you' that he refers to throughout?
The UK populace? All of us?

I'm not sure that I am indeed 'living 'my authentic life'.
In fact, I don't think that I am.
How can one tell?

Love it Fanny. Maybe someone could explain to me what an authentic life is. And what is a life that’s not authentic? I’m puzzled. Maybe it’s too early in the day I’m not a morning person.

Elegran what a thought provoking comment

I am not entering into discussion of Diana, who like everyone else was a highly complex character, but I did notice that what Anniebach actually said about her (on Mon 28-Jun-21 12:04:10) was not that she was evil, but that "One thing which for me was evil" was her comments after visiting the site of Barry Manakee's ashes.

Those who say a lot in public about their own feelings can be surprisingly obtuse about how they treat other people's sensitivities.

... and a completely different view to what he thinks are his own contributions to society.

Thanks eazybee. Same old words again with a Diana slant this time..... compassion, service, truth. It's getting boring.

"(Diana) would be so proud of you all for living an authentic life with purpose and compassion for others."
"Never be afraid to do what's right. Stand up for what you believe in and trust when you live by truth and in service to others, people will see that, just as they did with my mum."

So that's us told.
Pity he is unlikely to see Gransnet and read the opinions of those who hold a rather more balanced view of his mother's contribution to society.

That 'authentic', inward looking, Freudian-lite schtick really is old hat.

Poor sod thinks that he's being so inspiring and interesting.

Apparently Harry has made a video pre speech speech about Diana. I haven't listened to it, but something about living an "authentic" life? Sounds scripted, rather than from the heart.
Once again, the person who hated the cameras and complained about royal life is scrambling to get himself out there using that very medium and topic. I just don't get it?

Annie I'm sorry, I didn't mean that your posts were inappropriate, and certainly not lies.
What I was trying to say, was that you seem to feel extremely strongly about Diana, and I'm not sure that it's particularly a good thing. But I suppose that's none of my business.

An old Ford Escort, that was a gift to Diana from Charles, is up for auction today.
The starting price is £30,000
There is a little frog on the bonnet

Moi aussi!

No compassion or understanding at all.
Sigh.
I give up.

I feel your pain !

I have to say out of all the Matt Cock business i did feel sorry for HM. She is rarely heard making comments but only last week she was filmed speaking to BoJo giving out sympathy to The Cock and no sooner had people deciphered what she said the sordid truth came out. He certainly has been full of beans.

nadateturbe show compassion ? I have more compassion for
all involved in those troubled times than many here.

Ignore my posts .

Okay Annebach you don't believe the train story..
But what about showing compassion. You haven't answered that.

FannyCornforth your thoughts and opinions are your choice,
as are mine.

If you consider my posts inappropriate then ask for them to be
removed .

I have not posted one lie, I do quote what Diana said in her book, the tapes recorded by her voice coach and her Panorama
interview.

I have said I believe she was mentally ill, and I truly believe it. I have said I was so sorry for her as I am for anyone with mental
illness, I was very upset when I heard of her death.

I regret replying to the nonsense about the royal train .

Annie I can't help but think that that you respond to the memory (for it is a memory) of Diana in a very personal way

I really don't think that it's healthy, or appropriate, to keep using her as as some metaphysical punch ball

A better understanding than some on this thread.

No compassion or understanding at all.
Sigh.
I give up.

natadaturbe I do not believe Charles was on the royal train that night, why would he ? And no guards wherever the train was stored, it’s nonsense .

It was one of many things claimed, no different to the claim
a man on a motor bike with a dog on pillion caused the crash which killed her.

I suppose some believe Tiggy had an abortion because Diana
said she did.

Anniebach Sparklefizz suggested it might be better to have compassion for Diana. Your response was "where was Diana's compassion for the dead man's family?" I am asking you what you mean? Are you saying it's ok therefore for you not to have compassion?
And don't you think it's sad Charles was with Camilla the night before they got married?
