Diana’s death. This makes for interesting reading

Willie Hamilton ?

It just goes to show, most people do not understand how this establishment works and even Prime Ministers don't care

I meant what has duchess of Cambridge git t9 do with it…oh never mind.

A politician giving his opinion on the same person as Soames
did

What’s that got to do with Blair referring to her as the peoples princess ?

Yes Diana princess of Wales but not a princess, no difference to
duchess of Cambridge

Sorry can’t agree Iam I didn’t like what he said but MP’s like
us all have a right to express their opinions . I didn’t agree with
Blair calling Diana ‘the people’s princess’ she wasn’t a princess.

The crowds laying flowers criticising the Queen staying in Balmoral,

Was she not Diana princess of wales ?

And in any case people use those terms metaphorically, eg he is a Prince among men.

Friends are usually biased

Soames was speaking as charles long term friend so biased!

Exactly Iam64.

Oh lord, Soames not Siamese. Predictive text and an I phone. Sorry

The point is that Siamese said some extremely unpleasant, offensive and unnecessary things about Diana. It was well reported at the time. He was an influential MP. He ought to have been more careful and shown a little respect a young woman who anyone could see was struggling. He should have known better. He apologised later for some of his comments

He said it in public and he is an MP, he was not speaking for
his party , should MP’s not speak of things a member of the
public does ?

When Diana died M.P’s who expressed sorrow have remained silent ?

He said it in public and as a politician.

He didn’t say it in Parliament, a MP has the right to voice their
opinion , Diana wasn’t there representing the U.K.

I meant somebody,in an official capacity eg politician calling her a loose cannon.

What was her official capacity?

Obviously calling her a loose cannon publicly and in an official capacity was wrong. But I have no doubt many people thought so privately.

Diana was called a 'loose cannon' by charles friend nicholas soames who later apologised. It was over the land mine visit.

Princess Diana angered government ministers after calling for an international ban on landmines.

Her comments - made during a visit to Angola to see for herself some of the victims of landmines - were seen as being out of step with government policy.

The Junior Defence Minister, Earl Howe, described the princess as a "loose cannon", although he sought to distance himself from the criticism.

This BBC News report was first broadcast on 15 January 1997.

I think Diana was a loose cannon.
Her fling with Dodi was obviously nothing serious, just an ill advised summer dalliance. I doubt the royal Family saw it as any more than that. It did demonstrate however, that she was becoming more and more careless and erratic in her behaviour and her death certainly came at a very convenient time.

However I absolutely cannot imagine Charles, the Queen or Prince Philip plotting or being acquiescent in any such thing.

I thought Diana had to fund her own security once she lost the title HRH.

But they weren’t her security team, i.e. royal security, as she had ditched it.

They were Fayed’s, Dodi and his dad’s.

Because Bashir told her the royals wanted her dead and she fell for it. This was after the divorce and settlement was made so clearly no real reason at all but I guess she panicked and looked for wealthy men with security.

The vehicle was in very poor condition and very dangerous.

People are looking at it through today’s eyes with far more health and safety rules than there used to be.

Diana ditched her security in '93. because she thought they were reporting to Charles, the Bashir interview was '95. I know he did awful things but he can't be blamed for absolutely everything.

So far as I’m aware, PW isn’t medically qualified. As MissA said, ‘paranoid’ is used loosely in every day speech.
