I was at the service for Diana in Wellington, New Zealand. The Archbishop mentioned the service was for the three people, Dodi Fayed, Diana and Henri Paul. Every time, he mentioned all three. I was so happy he included everyone who died. They are all equally important as human beings.

I understand why people were so upset at what they perceived as an uncaring Queen and Royal Family, however at that time protocol did not allow for response. It was not until the people demanded it that the Queen was able to change the rules. I believe she was more than happy to do so and truly loved Diana as did the rest of the world.

She was right to keep William and Harry away from the media and the people they were children for god sake not peforming monkey's at a time like this! No one expected such a public outpouring of grief for Diana it was massive people were sobbing for her and knowing how badly the royals treated her stirred their anger and the media loved it and made it worse. The Queen was badly advised she probably should have done a speech and the stayed silent aftwards and looked after William and Harry. Charles was also trying to deal with his own guilt at how he treated Diana hence why he was all for a state public funeral

[@aliciaallegretti1470]

I believe the Queen’s priority was in the right place. William and Harry were her main concern before others. Those boys needed their Grandma first not the Queen. When they were ready, they could faced the public and share their grief. What a terrible loss. Rest In Peace, Diana. 🥲🙏💔

@@susanlockyer1192 No she shouldn't. Her first duty was the Charles and boys - of course it was. But... she should have made a brief "holding statement" tribute from Balmoral as soon as possible after the news broke. Either on TV or in writing. Acknowledge the fact that the nation is grieving for Diana, explain why she will be staying at Balmoral for a few days and promise a full speech when she and the princes return to Buckingham Palace later in the week. Total silence looked bad and uncaring. And then when she made the full speech, she should at least have *tried* to sound as if she meant it. ;-)

Yes she's a gifted person. the world loved her but the person she cherished always undermined her

[@NeonMotion23]

the queen had diana killed

[@Anth230]

Nope...

I'm a Dutchie, I will never forget coming downstairs that morning and my mom crying. I understood it was a great loss, later in life I learned how great she was. One of a kind.

[@dianabruegge9704]

I think this had to be hard for the whole family. She had her grandsons to worry about. I loved Diana but her interview with Basheir made some scathing remarks about all of them. Bottom line, they may be royals, but they are human beings with very real human feelings. I salute the queen for all she did. Most of all for all she did for Diana’s boys! GOD save the queen and the family that truly loves her!

[@chiaracoffani8543]

I don't think she really meant what she was saying...They are all well used to pretending ...I won' t go further...She simply had to...

People are fickle. She was public enemy number one. I remember the hate the Queen received and now look at the public.

[@stevenvanhemmen]

The queen only spoke up to save face. She couldn’t care less about Diana.

[@shadowthehedgehog370]

Exactly

It’s absolutely crazy to me, how people complain about how is Diana treated even tho they never knew Diana. They never met her, never really had an insight into her personality. People are so deceivable by persona. It’s insane.

[@farwakhantanoli7512]

So what are you trying to say that Diana not a good women

[@Anth230]

@@farwakhantanoli7512 Pretty sure hes saying that people are being judgmental about the Royal family's relationship with diana. People use Diana as a Martyr to voice their displeasure of the Royals.

[@MrWolf-xk8sl]

I love how the queen is reading her message

[@justhavefun2640]
