I came across this article posted on MN.
It strikes me as very perceptive as Harry yet again drags up his mother’s death at the Invictus Games.
It’s so inappropriate and disrespectful to those thousands of injured servicemen and their relatives that an over-privileged, extremely wealthy individual constantly turns the subject to himself.

Unsuspecting girl ! Her sister had dated Charles, her father worked for the Queen, her grandmother for the Queen mother
what a gift Diana could and did give daddy.

She was 20. She thought she was getting a proper marriage with a man who loved her. She didn't realise he was just after someone to continue the Windsor line.

I doubt that she was as naïve as everyone keeps trying to portray. She and her siblings grew up on the Sandringham Estate around the younger Royal siblings.
She was more Royal than the Windsors.

All they had were lies ?

Anniebach Tue 05-Sept-23 18:54:18

What did Diana mean in her tell all book ?

Andrew was always playing games, I knew he wasn’t for me

IYO G.
Your evidence?
Are you saying that you were a personal confidante of Diana?
Anything else is hearsay.

Wow!
The hatred!
Not to mention all the tired cliches: unsuspecting girl, past lover, confidante, brood mare, crowned his one-time mistress, and of course, dysfunctional family.

More like Barbara Cartland, Diana's preferred choice of reading.

Jenpax and gloryannie you’re wasting your time. For what it’s worth, I agree with your posts. The vitriol directed at Harry, Meghan and Diana never ceases to amaze me.

Anniebach Tue 05-Sept-23 18:59:19

Vitriol directed at the royal family pleases you Iam ?

I think that from what can be gathered, Windsor men rely to a greater degree on strong women. Not sure about Edward V11th, but George Vth relied a lot on Queen Mary, George V1th relied heavily on the late Q.M, Charles 111rd certainly needs Queen Camilla, William again has a very strong steady wife, all of whom have been good for them and the RF. However, Harry along with Edward V111th also married strong women whom they completely relied/rely on. Unfortunately both Wallis and particularly Meghan couldn't have been worse for them

Why is Meghan bad for Harry? The have 2 beautiful children and seem happy.

My old friend who frequently went shooting with the Spencers describes her as anything but naive.

Because of course she was shooting with them all the time.

No. Family estrangement is dreadful for everyone imvolved

What did she do to make them think that?

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 05-Sept-23 20:31:22

I can’t divulge that.

A lot of socialising goes on. She didn’t have to be shooting.

About all of it.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 05-Sept-23 21:37:40

My friend’s comments to me are not hearsay. If I were to repeat them, which I never would, what I said would be hearsay.

WellsRose Tue 05-Sept-23 21:54:34

I can’t divulge that.

Oh why bring them up then?

Mollygo Tue 05-Sept-23 21:59:06

Having heard someone else’s opinion is hearsay.
Knowing something that you’re not at liberty to release, is like not knowing it at all.

Fair enough.

It wasn't directed at you, it's a comment about all the absolute assertions about the Royal Family on the thread when most people know no more than they have read in the media.
The same media which they profess to despise and disbelieve when media stories about certain other members of the Royal Family are printed.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 05-Sept-23 22:14:34

Yes I realised that. 😊

That’s not quite right in law but never mind. People often don’t understand what hearsay is,

Why not bring it up? I can say somebody told me something without being obliged to reveal the details.

WellsRose Tue 05-Sept-23 22:48:26

Of course you're not obliged and I'm entitled to think that trying to blackened someone's name without saying why is gutless.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 05-Sept-23 22:53:52

I am not trying to blacken anyone’s name, nor am I gutless as you so charmingly put it.

Mollygo Tue 05-Sept-23 23:02:46

Whatever the law can twist it to mean,
it’s clear enough.
Hearsay- I hear someone say it
It means you weren’t there and heard it from a third party.
If you were there and saw it, it’s not hearsay.
