Princess Diana: Her Life and Mysterious Death

In the collective memory of the people, Diana, Princess of Wales was everything a royal should be. She was beautiful, composed, and full of compassion for those in need. And when she died in 1997, it was a horrific tragedy that shook the world. She had been robbed of a future that was looking incredibly bright, and her sons would forever be without a mother. But the dark secrets of Diana’s life prove “all that glitters is not gold.” Some people believe that her death was no accident, and that it was actually an elaborate conspiracy designed by the royal family to silence her.

I've never paid much attention to royalty (to me it always seemed like a silly holdover from ancient times), but I always respected Diana for her good works. I remember the night she died, though... at the time I was working a second job as a karaoke dj/bartender in a Chinese restaurant in the American midwest. That night one of the customers asked me to switch one of the televisions in the bar over to a news channel because he heard Diana had died in a car accident. I turned the music off in the bar and switch the TVs over to the news coverage. By the time I got them all switched over and looked at the customers in the full bar I was struck by how many were in tears, transfixed by the news reports. Clearly Diana was genuinely loved by many all over.

They had to recall him when terrorists heard this and were passing pictures of him around plus a bounty on his head.😖 I think we should leave them alone though.

Ingrid Dubbel doesn’t mean she wasn’t murdered

[@ThatFanBoyGuy]

The reason the royal family did not find Camilla a suitable wife for Charles is because she was old enough to be assumed she wasn't a virgin, and the royal family said that non-virgins are not suitable to marry into the royal family. This is also why Charles married Diana. She was young enough to be assumed to be a virgin. If the royal family would overlooked this silly rule, like they did for Harry and Megan, none of this would have happened. Then again, perhaps what happened to Diana is exactly why the royal family overlooked any silly rules when Harry married Megan

[@georgegoulding7141]

A lot of things don't add up about how she died, but one thing I'd like to throw out there is that France operates under the Franco-German system of ambulance operation. In contrast to the Anglo-American system which operates with two paramedics with the objective of bringing the patient to hospital, the Franco-German also includes a physician with the objective of bringing the hospital to the patient. The doctor in charge is likely at fault in regards to Diana in that he wasted 55mins trying to stablise her on-scene instead of prioritising transport.

[@Locutus]

I did read recently was that the reason that the ambulance took so long to get to the hospital was because they were trying to revive her in the ambulance, as was the policy.

We turned off the music and put on the tv, and gaped at the images for the rest of the night praying she would survive. We all cried when they pronounced her dead. I stayed up until 4am following the news. Imagine a bunch of 15-16 year old teens in the middle of nowhere Nicaragua, half a world away, mourning her. That's how much she was loved. When I went to London a decade later on tourism, I went to the palace, not cause I cared about the place, but so silently pay my respects to her. She brought public attention to many causes, especially land mines (went on a mined field even) and AiDS and I will always respect her greatly for it! RIP forever, Diana.

I was born about a year before Prince William and I grew up absolutely charmed by the primary school teacher turned princess. She had such a vibrant side to her before Charles stopped making an effort to hide Camilla. I remember her funeral, I remember watching those two "boys" at the time and it reminded me of watching newsreels of JFK's son and it reminding me of William standing there in front of the whole world watching him expecting a prince when a little boy had lost his mum... My mum died at 45 just the following year in 1998, at her funeral I kept thinking about how if William could have the world watching him at his mum's funeral.. I could make it through my mum's funeral when I was in school. It's unsurprising to me that Harry hasn't much interest in succession and WIlliam seems to be doing the role cause he's really a better "future king" than Charles.

She was telling the press, and therefore the British public, that the Royals were a cold, unfeeling family who simply used her. With her death, the threat to the monarchy was gone. For Charles, he could finally marry his mistress. Highly convenient for the lot of them.

I was never an admirer of hers, but I liked Prince Charles even less. I am surprised you did not include his jealousy of her popularity with the public during their marriage when they made tours, etc. He's a right rotter. The world has come full circle when gossip about the paternity of a royal prince can be a source of interest. Like the Kennedy assassination (which was witnessed and filmed in broad daylight) the truth of her death will probably never be known; too many people willing to lie. But after all, it was her life that mattered.

It wasn't that he was jealous, it was the embarrassment behind the scenes. She was not some great person or wife. She cheated, and did whatever she wanted having that narsasistic personality. She was the "media darling" and could do no wrong. If Charles did anything he would be a monster. Her interviews were a play and character, especially about the divorce. I can't understand how so many people can't see how full of it she was. You could see it on her face and in her voice, and body language

[@darthsawlex8257]

Also if your spouse was found to be having an affair, there are two acceptable options, one, you divorce. Two, you forgive them and make sure they stop. Simply having an affair yourself is a terrible terrible thing to do and is a disgusting choice on her part. It's hard to feel sorry for her when she made such terrible choices, and as someone above pointed out she was apparently very full of herself. Though she did much good for charity and people and I am very sorry that she died, I am no fan of Diana. Also she should have actually loved Charles before agreeing to marry him. She made many many poor decisions. Ones that were so very obviously wrong.

I swear, you left wingers and right wingers love to show off your differences, but us that don’t exist on your little spectrum see that you guys act exactly the same as each other. I bet you’ll say that racist and sexist have lost their meaning, which I agree with, but fail to see that your words like communist and socialist have lost their meanings too.

Some of these facts are wrong- Diana didn’t date Dodi since 1995 - that was a relatively fresh relationship. She dated a heart surgeon called Hasnat Khan instead.

Imagine being William and Harry and having to wonder of their grandmother was part of a plot to kill their mother, whether they believe it or not just having the thought there to exist forever is awful

[@absolutetruthgirl]

the harry/hewitt angle in this piece is pure fantasy. harry was born long before the affair with hewitt started. hewitt said so himself.

[@Zoey505]

Agreed

[@karenhanania9014]

Yes, and the fact that Harry strongly resembles the Windsor side of his family; William certainly resembles his mother and the Spencer side of the family.

[@VeracityLH]

Harry is a strong mixture of his grandfathers, Earl Spencer and the Duke of Edinburgh. Google pics of Philip with a beard and of a young Johnny Spencer and you'll find Harry's genealogy is quite evident.

[@bubba6284]

I remember watching the news when it broke that she passed away. Sad sad day. She was a beautiful woman and a beautiful person.

[@septube26]

William will be a better King, but unfortunately the line of succession is what it is.

[@vyve3165]

septube26 he is way to weak, if this was the time when kings actually had power, William would become a puppet

[@loditx7706]

Doesn't some law of succession prohibit a divorced person from being king or queen and doesn't being Catholic prevent one from being king or queen? That last one makes sense since one couldn't be head of the Church of England and Catholic.

[@SIFICLANSHOWCASE]

Lucas bosse he's a puppet either way, what would that matter?

[@heathercontois4501]

@@vyve3165 I agree. But, I find all royalty to be weak as it seems they are taught to follow he traditions sooo heavily that they do not have a mind of their own. Elizabeth 2 is the only monarch I've heard of who really had a will of her own outside of Elizabeth 1. And my opinion of E1 is really not very high, as i found her to be a manipulative woman-worse than any other monarch (that i have been able to learn about) in history.

[@vyve3165]

@@heathercontois4501 that is to be expected in a constitutional monarchy. The royal family keeping their noses out of politics to not stir up tension with the public. You know, so they dont get themselves executed in a revolution.

[@joshuapatrick682]

I remember where I was when I learned of her death, my mom adored her; her response “they killed her,” who they were I didn’t know at the time.

[@karenhanania9014]

I agree, she would be very proud of her sons, not only because they've carried on her many charitable works, but also for the good and kind people they seemed to be as grown men. I've heard interviews with William and Harry where they both said that she would have been a very good and "mischievous" grandmother. It's incredibly sad that she died so young. I cried and cried in those early days after hearing the news of her death - a woman I never knew personally. I feel that's at least partly the legacy of Diana.

[@MaryTheresa1986]

@@ingriddubbel8468 Yes, but supposedly he "can't remember a thing." Besides, the attack was targeted towards Diana (and possibly Dodi), so Trevor's survival was pretty inconsequential. Hell, he could've helped plan the whole thing for all we know.

[@rogerhwerner6997]

As an Amercian, I never paid much attention to the royals but my immediate descendants were Welsh by way of Canada, so I did, and still do respect the titles; the Queen's in particular. Diana Spencer was another matter. Although no longer a royal, she was nearly imoossible not to adore. I had a ocaasion to be in Paris the November after her death. Late one night I drove into the tunnel where she had been killed. As there was virtually no traffic I was able to drive very slowly pass the accident site, with evidence for the crash visible. Strange the I had tears in my eyes as I drove on. Stopping would have been foolhardy but I turned the radio off and thought about the life of this beautiful and remarkable woman. Regardless of the cause(s) of the accident my views on Charles afterward. Charles should never be elevated to King because he's demonstrated time and again that he lacks the neccessary character for the roll.

[@romelnegut2005]

She's still loved to this day and I believe that this will continue for many more years to come.

[@chab1rd155]

Not True. Sure The Media Would've Preferred She Be With Him,Or A Swedish Diplomat She Once Dated. But She Actually Loved Dodi Al Fayed,He Proposed To Her,And She Accepted. And There Were Rumors That She Was Pregnant,Too!!! There Was No Way The Royal Family And The British Government Couldn't Have The Half Brother Of The Future King Of England Being A Black(Mixed)Egyptian Muslim,So When They Were Through With Her,Used Her To Birth The Heir And The Spare,They Got Rid Of Her.
