Never get tired of documentaries featuring the wonderful Diana!

[@kimberlyjoyongcal7489]

Princess Diana is not a commoner she is already a part of aristocratic family before she marriesd charles.

[@levinaconrad4350]

Kimberly Ongcal she came from a noble family but she was indeed a commoner.

[@benny24sport]

@@dimapez Only one member of any hereditary aristocratic familiy, the actual holder of the title, is considered a noble. In Diana's case, i.e. in the Spencer family, that was her father, Earl Spencer, and after his death, it is now her brother. The principle behind this is called primogeniture. The UK works differently from the European continent in this respect. All other members of the family (Diana's mother, Diana herself and all other members of the family, even her eldest brother while her father was still alive) are commoners, even though they are part of the aristocracy.

[@benny24sport]

@@dimapez A commoner is anyone who is not a peer in their own right (ranks of the peerage are duke, marquess, earl, viscount, baron). Members of their families, who are commoners and not peers, are given so called courtesy titles (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtesy_titles_in_the_United_Kingdom) - like Lady Diana, they remain commoners though. So Diana was a commoner, altghough she was from a very old aristocratic family. "Commoner" doesn't mean that she was from a middle or lower class background. Her life and would have been the exact same as that of a peer.

Kimberly Ongcal “The word lady is a term of respect for a girl or woman, the equivalent of gentleman. Once used to describe only women of a high social class or status, the female equivalent of lord, now it may refer to any adult woman. Informal use of this word is sometimes euphemistic ("lady of the night" for a prostitute ) or, in American slang, condescending (equivalent to "mister" or "man"). "Lady" is also a formal title in the United Kingdom. "Lady" is used before the family name of a woman with a title of nobility or honorary title suo jure (in her own right), or the wife of a lord, a baronet, laird, or a knight, and also before the first name of the daughter of a duke, marquess, or earl.” Lords and Ladies are Nobility everywhere I searched it said nothing of Royalty

@tori2dles: " . . .may see in 30 years time Diana living in exactly the same position. . ." Tragic though her death was, I think her reputation would have been diminished had she lived longer. Had she remarried, the press would have excoriated her; ditto if she had a series of short-lived relationships with other men, or even one long-term relationship. When she worked with the Red Cross on landmine removal, the British parliament accused her of being a political loose cannon. She was trapped in a no-win position both politically and personally.

This lady is clearly a friend of Charles's. To say that all Diana had to put up with was one mistress is pretty sickening. Time has passed, they're married and happy. But it all came at a price and in the end a lot of misery and pain. Very cold to have such a dismissive attitude towards that. He shouldn't have married Diana when they hardly knew each other.

[@dianewalker4633]

In truth though, Charles DID only have the one mistress and it was someone who he always loved. On the other hand, Diana had at least 7 known lovers and who knows how many unknown?

I ended up being so disappointed in who she became. Her public work was wonderful, but her private life was a train wreck and she was highly vindictive.

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

He smoked but I know that he smoked more because he was far more stressed out since his brother left him boxes and boxes of work that was not even opened during the brief time that David was King Edward. David had his mind on one thing only and that was the woman he loved and certainly wasn't being King. David wanted to serve England, but not as king .Eveb King George V knew that David wasn't mature enough and he didn't have what it would take to be the kind of leader that England needed. King Edward V believed in Albert and even though Albert was second in line for the throne, Albert ( Bertie) King George VI was definitely the king and leader that England needed after his father's death. King George 6 LED England through the Second World War. He was the second born but he was so much more mature and he always gave everything of himself and didn't ever take anything in return. David, temporarily King Edward, was Peter Pan and a boy that didn't never want to grow up. The woman that he was in love with did not want him to give up the throne. Sadly, Wallace and her husband Ernest began this adventure with the teacher King Edward as fun and games. It did not turn out that way and they found old letters that King Edward's wife was riding to her ex-husband two years after she married King Edward because she was really still in love with her ex-husband and did not want to marry Edward. I'm sure she would have wanted to marry him she thought she would have had a chance of being Queen, but doubtful. She didn't really want to do anything around the Royals and between Wallace and her husband Ernest they were both having flings and pulling around. Nobody had any idea that the Future King Edward would fall madly in love with Wallace Simpson.

She is not commoner, she is daughter of Earl Spencer and Viscountess Althorp. Her grandmother is Lady in waiting for the late Queen mother

[@MandyJMaddison]

Lucy Ruru, I have left a really detailed explanation for why Diana WAS a "commoner". But I will repeat it. Diana didn't hold a hereditary title. Her title "Lady" Diana was just a courtesy that is usually given to the daughters of aristocrats. By protocol, she didnt have any special status unless SHE PERSONALLY was awarded a peerage, or unless she married a member of the Nobility, and shared her husband's title e.g. Duchess of Cornwall. In the UK, there are just a handful of women who have hereditary titles. One is the Queen who is Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy. Another is Countess Mountbatten of Burma. There are a couple of female Lairds in Scotland.... but it is very rare because these titles generally only pass through the male line, and die out of there is no male heir. So Diana was commoner. So was the Queen Mother, Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon. So, regardless of their aristocratc backgrounds, and their courtesy title of "Lady" both these women were OFFICIALLY commoners.

Diana was not royal. She married into it.

The only women who are NOT commoners are women who are Princess of Royal Blood, and a very few few women (about four or five) who have rare titles that pass to the female if there is no male heir.

Not true. Charles was free to remarry once he and Diana were divorced but the odds were that he would wait a few years. And in the end he waited until after the QM died. By then the boys were grown up and the queen was ok wiht it

[@magdap379]

I love what this woman says at 24:43 about how Camilla had a choice, how she knew what she was doing to the royal marriage and to Diana personally (whom she pegged for a dum dum) and continued with it anyway. I honestly don’t know how Charles’ sons could ever possibly ever accept her knowing this. If I were them I probably would have blamed Camilla for their mother’s death, because none of this would have happened if she had simply gone away and left them to work it out. The truth is that she was a homewrecker and if she truly was the faithful, loyal servant that Charles portrayed her as, she would have walked away the moment he got married. She didn’t, because she was a social climber and reveled in the attention, social position and expensive gifts that the Prince bestowed upon her. She played the long game and she won - she’s Queen now. But she cheated, she literally blew up the Royal Marriage for her own gain, I don’t believe for one moment that she didn’t know what she was doing, she literally encouraged Charles to marry Diana because she thought Diana was too dumb and to young to catch on to their affair. That alone shows how calculating and manipulative she is. It’s just sad that the British tabloids are spinning this whole thing as a star-crossed love story and shoving this uncomfortable lump down everybody’s throat, when there are people who still remember Diana’s Panorama interview and what she said about there being 3 of them in this marriage, and how it was a bit crowded.

[@agussholeh0866]

We ask governments in all countries to unite the bridge pillars as high as one or two meters so that if a car hits a bridge support, it can still slide not as badly as a car crashes into a bridge pillar so that an accident hitting a pillar like what happened to Princess Diana does not happen again, sorry and thank you..

[@miss.spent-youth1454]

I don't understand what you mean. How could a pillar/ bridge support be able to fully support the bridge if it were able to slide? Surely the weight bearing down on the support would make it unable to move? Also, if a car did crash into a pillar which was able to move by one or two meters, the pillar would still come to a standstill and be an immovable object causing the sane damage to the car.

Princess Diana had her criticism of being in the RF,BUT she never wanted to take down the monarchy because it is her one sons destiny. Too bad Harry the son she spoiled rotten doesn’t love his brother enough to be someone William can count on. Instead William is pulling the knives out of his back from his brother and TW. Also, Prince Andrew is very loyal to the monarchy and the RF not once has he pulled a H&M just because he won’t be king and there was a time he was the spare along with Anne.
