Apparently Prince Harry compares his wife Meghan the same as princess diana.
Don’t think she is anything like her, no I don’t know her personally. My own opinion if anyone is compared to princess diana is Catherine/kate.
And anything that Harry and Meghan try to do then Prince William & Catherine can do better.

Looks like the same suit she wore on her last day

MissAdventure Sun 07-Jul-24 14:32:58

Yep also looks great.

Diana looks best, I reckon?

did she look like a tart in a trouser suit?

Oh Wow!

You had to hand it to her!

JaneJudge Sun 07-Jul-24 14:29:29

she also wears trouser suits though

Well, Jane, she was a bit crumpled!

Wyllow3 I used the words 'seems to find' advisedly as I was not wishing to express an opinion as to the value or otherwise of his comparison.
I was not a fan of Diana but, of course, it is always sad when, particularly young, people die so tragically.

I don't like any of them and I think far too much respect, wealth and privilege is accorded to them for simply being born into the firm. However, I think we need them as a barrier against a dictatorship.

If Trump is re-elected, I have very grave fears for the democratic future of the USA. Imagine if Boris Johnson had been president rather than prime minister.confused

He's free to draw whatever comparisons he chooses.

JaneJudge Sun 07-Jul-24 14:18:37

My gran used to give me the newspapers to cut out pictures of the royals and i used to glue them into a scrapbook using flour and water

Where does this come from bevisp1?

A quick google shows this quote comes from the Daily Express.

MissAdventure Sun 07-Jul-24 14:15:26

I've never understood the whole royal obsession. I kind of took to Diana because we were the same age, and had babies at the same time.

I wasn't hysterical about her, though. smile

Catherine Princess of Wales is not like her husbands late mother, Catherine doesn’t hunt the cameras, parade her children for the press photographers, give interviews unless speaking of charities.

There were at least 7 in the marriage of Diana and Charles

NotSpaghetti Sun 07-Jul-24 14:11:47

I never understood the hysteria around Diana.

I do sympathise with anyone whose family dies though.
My husband's father died in a car crash when he was 7. It does leave an impact.

We are all unique

"I agree, the mawkish adoration is startling" indeed HPQ I cant explain it either in me!

Wyllow3 Sun 07-Jul-24 14:02:42

"He also seems to find echoes in the way the royal family and the press treated Meghan in the way his mother was treated."

Thats the emotional drive in Harry behind the comparison I think, but they aren't comparable.

There was I, a rather lefty not particularly royalist crying the day Diana died!

No one can be compared with Diana - not even Princess Catharine - she was one of a kind . Sadly, sometimes the good die young🥲

Every one is one of a kind. Cannot understand why everyone seems to have elevated her to sainthood. Very sad she died so young, but unfortunately many do.

I agree, the mawkish adoration is startling.
