6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Blair, British Prime Minister
"We are today a nation in Britain in a state of shock, in mourning, in grief that is so deeply painful for us. She was a wonderful and a warm human being. Though her own life was often sadly touched by tragedy, she touched the lives of so many others in Britain and throughout the world with joy and with comfort. How many times shall we remember her in how many different ways with the sick, the dying, with children, with the needy. When with just a look or a gesture that spoke so much more than words, she would reveal to all of us the depth of her compassion and her humanity. You know how difficult things were for her from time to time, I'm sure we can only guess at, but the people everywhere, not just here in Britain, everywhere, they kept faith with Princess Diana. They liked her, they loved her, they regarded her as one of the people. She was the people's princess and that's how she will stay, how she will remain, in our hearts and in our memories forever."

"This is not a time for recriminations but for sadness. However I would say that I also believed that the press would kill her in the end. But not even I could imagine that they would take such a direct hand in her death, as seems to be the case. It would appear that every proprietor and editor of every publication that has paid for intrusive and exploitative photographs of her, encouraging greedy and ruthless individuals to risk everything in pursuit of Diana's image has blood on his hands today."

@@calipo5110 What do you mean, what the fuck are you going on about when the hell did they say she's a victim because of her race don't act like a wankstain and also who the fuck cares how much her wardrobe is when it's probably because she had a proper popular and established career that was before independent to the royals that earned her millions and that thrived on fashion unlike the royals whose jobs thrive on solely their family duties and how the fuck do you know what their original plan was and what they- not just her- were even thinking and she was considering leaving the US in 2016 and she's had constant criticism from the press and public since she became involved because her nationality, 'subtly' about her race, her previous political views and the fact that she's not a virgin and it's common knowledge, and Diana can relate to some of that as well as the pressure and consequences of constant and persistent threat. All of which you would know about if you got your head out your arse and did your own ' research'- what is this an essay? And it's their opinion for bleeding hell sake. And how would you know how they treated Meghan yes they most likely was nice to her but how did you know that they were more accommodating to her than Kate. And they would most likely disapprove of her and could potentially show it, because she was not like previous people who got married to the royals like kate and Diana. Stop having a closed mind and outdated opinions. And of course Diana would support her as if she was her own child because you cannot deny they're like each other they have open mind sets as shown with Diana with the AIDS crisis so she was open as well, and she could relate to pressure of giving up her potential future and career for her spouse like Meghan had to.

Diana had a horrible life, suffered alone in silence. Even if they didn’t kill her directly, they still contributed do her death one way or another. This is what happens when you make a naive and young woman your sacrificial lamb, yet have an affair in the side, which she knew about, but couldn’t do anything to stop as Charles never supported her nor understood her. He only had eyes for Camilla. Camilla and Charles are the main culprits!

[@amelie3012]

I would say that the royal family before the marriage is responsible. They refused to let him marry the woman he loved because she was "unsuitable" due to a past relationship. He's only human, all of us want to be with the person we love. He was basically forced to have a "perfect" bride who wasn't the woman he loved, so he picked a picture perfect one to make the family happy (as heir to the throne, he needed an heir). Had the family let him marry who he wanted this wouldn't have happened

[@carinemunro1077]

@Stxr KillerX yes after she knew her marriage was hopeless and tried to find some happiness of her own..i dont think we can condemn her for that..since he cheated right from the start very openly to the royal family and noone called him on that.

[@kazbaby212]

@@amelie3012 But at some stage Charles has to be responsible for neglecting Diana as his wife in pursuit of his own sense of entitlement. He had no choice, but he could have had a greater responsibility towards her to make the marriage work.

I find it so ironic how complete strangers who didn’t even know Diana personally were weeping, sobbing for her and her own ex-husband/family didn’t shed a tear or have any emotion. And I understand the Royals can’t really just go on TV and start crying but they could have at least showed some emotion in their face you can just tell Charles did not give a crap about her or anyone else. The only two people I feel bad for are her two sons Harry and William. And I’m just saying this but I 100% believe Diana was killed and the orders were given by prince Philip and the queen to kill her and Charles was involved somehow. There’s just way too many coincidences and so much evidence that supports the fact that she was killed and it was a cover-up.

I begged my mom to stay up to watch the news and she allowed it, knowing I was heartbroken. I remember them playing the UK national anthem for the Princess before signing off for the evening. Now I'm 37 going on 38. I remember few horrific events, 9/11 and whatnot. I will never forget that night. For my birthday that year she passed, my mom got me many things about her. Books, a calendar, the Elton John single CD of Candle in the Wind '97. I will cherish those. Every day since that day, I've tried to show love and kindness to anyone I meet, especially after also losing my mom 11 years ago this year.

i’m too young to remember princess diana when she was alive, but despite that i can still feel her impact. everyone i’ve spoken to who remembers her thinks of her as a wonderful woman with endless compassion in her heart. i get angry thinking about everything she was put through. the one comfort is knowing that she’ll always be remembered fondly, even though she was taken from us far too soon

[@jaannnn]

i felt her connection w people seing vids like these on how she moved the people's emotions that even men were mourning.

[@luramey]

i wasn’t even born when she died but whenever i hear about her story and learned of what happened i can’t help but feel so remorseful. maybe there really is something about her that continuously inspires and touches people’s hearts no matter what generation they may belong to.

[@laisayanesusu7287]

I'm 1998 born but hell I'm bawling my eyes out. Diana's legacy reigns.

[@anguswalsh2387]

21-22 Years and still missed everyday. Such a loss on August 31st 1997...

[@evan.iraheta]

Today its August 31, 2020

[@mariucahristea8816]

This was for sure the biggest and the most famous funeral in world history. Diana, queen of hearts.

[@carinemunro1077]

I will never forget her. It still makes me very sad to this day.. She didn't deserve such a death.. Or such a desolate life with Charles... Thank god she had her children... RIP Lady Diana...

[@MKMK11114]

My Queen, I was 18 months old when Diana died but growing up her name was always mentioned in my household. Her interviews and videos played and my family loved her. The day she died it was my cousins wedding and my grandad missed his own granddaughters wedding because he was mourning her loss, he was in pain and in shock. I love Diana the Queen of Hearts with all my heart. I’ve loved her ever since I was a baby. She was truly an angel.

[@rosemimi973]

We watched her funeral in shock. Still can’t believe that this happened to her.

[@SuperHollygrovechick]

This was the first notable person I remember dying. I was 7 years old and I remember my family just looking at the news looking sad and shocked. I remember being sad too. She was really beloved by the entire world.

[@depyk7989]

It still brings me tears!That royal family has a rock in place of a heart!All of us who loved Di mourned and felt the pain of the loss of our princess on the contrary of those heartless beings!

[@nickgreatpwrful5754]

DEPY K you're an idiot if you think the fucking ROYALS are going to cry their brains out. They are very VERY well mannered and are EXPECTED to be.

[@Honeymoonaaa]

@@nickgreatpwrful5754 is showing emotions means Bad mannered. Then im Happy to be Not royal.

[@hotrodd29]

DEPY K it still brings me to tears that the public demanded that the royal family parade Diana’s 2 young sons around London instead of allowing them to cry and grieve for their mum in private.

[@victoriaalbastra6325]

@@hotrodd29 the public had no say in anything. It never does. Are you mad?

[@mayaatkinson1]

im genuinely crying at this video, she was such angel, somebody the world didn’t deserve, and she will never be forgotten for all she did.❤️

[@mariela3571]

There weren't half as many roses for Queen Elizabeth as there were for Diana!

[@Aurex524]

Obviously because princess diana was better and wasnt an aura of racism....

[@assdfggjkl8690]

it's crazy how she's still the most popular royal family member after all those years, indeed she's the people's princess and the queen of people's hearts.

[@82882]

I curse Charles n Camilla from the bottom of my heart! They killed a pure soul for their own selfish needs! Not fair.. really not fair!

[@das5334]

Periodtt

[@bielcayanan1562]

Camilla will never replace our princess she's not even a princess and she don't deserve it

[@eunicechang8329]

Plus Camilla looks like a electrocuted barbie doll to me.

[@thereisnocarolinHR]

They would love for us to forget her and it’s not going to happen. Charles should never be king

[@jonjohnson2844]

I was about 15 when Diana died and I heard the news on a sports show I was watching of all things, I went downstairs to tell my mum and she screamed at me saying why would I lie about such a thing! We've unfortunately lost some close family members in the last few years and her reaction to Diana dying was exactly the same - a woman she didn't know, but would have been the same age, and it was like losing a family member. I didn't really understand the reaction at the time but I do now.

This Earth angel was "dismissed" by evil. She rests. ❤

[@apositivegirl3049]

Its 2019 and i still cry for her.what a woman she was incredibly beautiful inside outside.❤❤❤❤

[@lizzyltr8304]

A very beautiful and warm person, touching the hearts of people all around the world, even those who have never seen her in reality. She was a true rices of the people. Should have never married that iceberg.

[@JanO209]

I agree! He used her! He should have married Camilla from the start! What a coward!

[@Gamerloaders]

Their tears spoke the truth, how much Princess Diana was loved among the mass...I was 7 when she died...still remember that unfortunate day!

[@husnetaybasukonya6040]

Lady Diana ....born in a royal family....married to a royal....lived as a royal princess...died as a queen of peoples heart....❤

[@saraialonzozambrano6151]

I was born long after she died. But reading about her life and watching her documentary makes me think that she was without a doubt a wonderful person. She earned with honor the title of " the people's princess"

[@204sammy]

Crying for The princess of our heart.... 😭😭😭From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@moyurbird7829]

আমি even now still sad. Pray for her daily. 🇧🇩From UK

[@angiegomez3071]

Thank you for your care ❤️

[@thatissofetch5508]

she “lived by the heart not the head” and that’s the kind of Princess/Woman the would world needed and loved. Even after her death, everyone still loved her and kept her memory alive. Rest your soul, queen of people’s hearts.

[@GasHub96]

I was one year old when Diana died. I'm Italian and I don't know the royal family of England very well. Over time I learned from her life, I got to know her through the beautiful gestures she made. For empathy, and the love he gave to others, without distinction. She was a Woman, a true Queen, it doesn't matter to be a Queen, it doesn't matter to be one for society, it's much more important to be one inside. The world has lost a piece of its heart since it died, may people learn from you, from your gestures, from your kindness. Rest in peace, Queen of the Good♥️

[@sabitriupadhayay9213]

I have never cried in my life but the princess Diana’s death made me cry

[@karencrookshank4971]

I’m a Londoner and worked in Piccadilly when Diana died. It seems unbelievable to remember London being so silent all week, apart from people crying. And the whole of central London smelt like a flower shop. It was amazing, sad but amazing.

[@jesuismilliardaire43]

We all know India Taj trip was supposed to be for both of you as a royal couple visit but you had to visit alone😢 Diana stay blessed wherever you are 😢

[@factspoken9062]

She was a true princess...the last genuine one

[@frummel403]

I remember this so well, I was 9 years old. Everyone cried. Diana was an angel.

[@affiraffi2657]

It was the most heartbreaking days of the century 💔💔💔💔

[@wHw_Syxx]

I was nine when she passed away and I remember being woken up by my mom crying and her on the phone with my grandmother to say she passed away. The older I was, I knew she was different than anyone in the Royal Family and she was a genuine good human being that did amazing, selfless charity work around the world. Blood is on multiple people's hands, she should of never died and was not only too good for this world but too good for that Family. I hope the truth comes out one day.

[@KRH1997]

What an angel!!! Love you Princess Diana!❤You’ll always be the people’s princess! You’re missed so much! From the U.S. with love❤

[@ladynikkie]

I remember seeing people placing flowers all over Buckingham Palace I think it was around a mile long that's just shows how much the people cared about her. I was 15 at the time of this

[@summertea545]

My mother was heartbroken over this our city of Amsterdam mourned for the Princess too.

[@precioussoul5072]

Lady Diana is the only member from the royal family whom I truly respect and she is alive in my heart and will always live there

[@NoNameLaaa]

I was 17 when the tragedy happened. Lady Diana is a truly people's princess. Not only for the people of England, but for people in many countries. :(

[@satvikamareedu9617]

Title may come with heritage but not respect... Peoples princess, she is

[@echospaw899]

I remember watching Diana's and Charles' wedding with my family. It was something out of the fairytale story. I also remember watching this tragedy unfold on tv. It was a feeling of grief that I can only relate to as watching a family member pass before their time.

[@aditi1861]

She was, is and will always be in our heart ❤️

[@saenox4907]

Im a filipino and my mom always talk about princess diana ever since i was a kid, my mom was only teen when princess diana died. and she felt really sad when princess diana is announced dead she really inspired me to be a better person and so as my mom 🙏🏻❤️

I was 5 years old when Princess Diana passed away. When I receive the news from my parents, I thought it was a joke at first but when I hear the news , I broke down.😭. I still remember it clearly. When I was young, I collect all her photos On the news and make album about her.😢 Now 20+, I still remember her always

[@unscdarknoblemedia9585]

I was 8 years old when this happened, such a beautiful bright soul lost forever.

Princess Diana is a great woman 😭❤️ big love from Indonesia

[@ktla309]

Them crying makes me cry and I’m not even British plus this happened before I was even born. I just love Diana. Such a good soul. May her name never vanish.

[@user-pixis967]

I'm seriously jealous of all the people that where old enough to embrace her while she was alive cus I was just 2 years old when that happened but her story touched me so much that I saw as much about her than there is on KZbin or documentaries. She didn't deserve to die and not being able to see her kids grow up or make their own family. It really hurts me.
