Yes I think that makes a lot of sense 😊

Yes that was her go to! I think this was her actually feeling furious!

The next one is juicy 😉

She was touched and felt supported by all accounts I have read.

@@thevintageread Thank you so much!

If Diana felt supported, why has she made it sound, in Nortons book, that she wasn't supported. We now know who stepped out but back then the impression was she was the angel and Charles and Camilla were the villian incl the family because they knew and approved. My mother still thinks of them as so at times and i must tell her the truth of the precious Diana.

Probably why she considered it home for the most part.

Glad you enjoyed it! 🤗

Thanks! I worked it out though when she said 'lollies' and then said she was going for wine gums! We all have our idiosyncrasies, lol;

@@HilaryB. I lived in the uk for 15 years. In my first year there, I was managing a corporate team of lovely people. One afternoon teatime, we had need for a celebration for a coworker. So, I sent a coworker out to pick up some celebratory bits and bobs. I told them to go out and grab some chips and lollies for an afternoon tea. They were gone for ages. Our office was above a metro mart. ie a supermarket in the centre of the cbd. They returned with arms’ full of hot chips wrapped in white paper from a fish and chip shop, and plastic bags of ice creams and icy poles and ice blocks from local milk bars. My suggestion, in my mind, was that they’d just whip downstairs, and grab some packets of sweets (AKA Aussie lollies) and some bags of crisps (AKA some chips)! Thank god it was a hot day. The Cornetto’s were very well received. The packages of soggy chips… not so much!!

@@StephanieBeitzel 😂😂😂 , I'm trying to picture your confusion! At least you enjoyed the ice lollies!

Thank you!

Thanyou Steph I am a Brit, but I know a lolly is a candy lolly or we would say ice lolly 🤣🤣🤣but if you say chips , then it's hot potato chips from the chippy ,,not crisps 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤

He never should have married her. She was only 19 and I think he was like 12 years older. The thing is he never stopped seeing Camilla. He was calling her on her honeymoon, remember the train incident too when the press thought it was Diana but it was Camilla. After Diana’s dramatic childhood and abandonment Charles really destroyed her emotionally. Camilla even helped pick Diana out for Charles, their thinking was she was so young and naive that they could successfully pull the wool over her eyes. Diana proved them wrong and she was stronger than they gave her credit for. It’s tragic that if they never married she possibly would’ve found true love and be alive today. Charles and Camilla would have had happier lives too. It’s just tragic from all angles.

​@@DarkSkies72it seemed like the RF were too focused on how suitable Diana would be for him, but didnt consider how suitable Charles was for her. What 20 year old wants their husband reading Van Der Post on their honeymoon?

My personal theory is that Diana had romanticised the whole thing. If you have ever read a Barbara Cartland (DIana's step grandmother) novel, then it was all about true love conquers all, particularly if the true love was a prince. Diana was desperate for love, and she was only 19, so can totally understand that she had very little understanding what she was getting in to. Diana also was not very bright. I think one positive spin off of the whole Charles and Diana saga is that fewer young girls grew up with the 'princess fantasy'. I certainly don't think that Catherine had a princess fantasy. She understood how restrictive and snooped upon her life would be.

To add to what @Deleneholm has said, I think all of us have a much better understanding of things in today’s times because of social media. It’s very likely that Diana lived a sheltered, aristocratic life without necessarily reading all those tabloids to know how much scrutiny her future in-laws were always under. It’s also possible that she had an idea but thought she could handle it because ‘love conquers all’. 25 years ago when I was 19 the world was a very different place and my own understanding of the world (and love) was so naive and severely under developed

@@dv7361 Well, yes of course it was a different time and she was young and lived in the aristocratic bubble all her life but she and her family were in association with the royal family too. She was friends with Andrew.She was born on the Sandringham estate, she was at the aristocratic polo matches where Charles was playing with photographers present. She saw first hand what kind of attention he drew as well as the Queen and Prince Philip, etc. There were tabloids in those days with lots of coverage of Charles social life etc. There was coverage on them all on TV programs. Of course she wanted to be loved and somehow convinced herself that it would all workout. She gave serious thought to calling off the wedding, but as her sister famously said, bad luck Duch, you're already on the tea towels. It was reported and quoted that she " saved herself " for someone important. Hmmmmm, who could that be, the someone who was required to marry a virgin.

I'm of Charles' generation, so I'm old enough to remember that in my adolescence, young girls like myself all yearned after Prince Charles. He spent 2 terms of high school in Australia, boarding at Geelong Grammar School's Timbertop campus and it caused a sensation here among Aussie girlhood, who hoped against hope to get a glimpse of him IRL. The papers gushed that he was " the world's most eligible bachelor". And Charles' notoriously diffident, shy personality was not a deterrent, it had a certain appeal to the sort of girl who wanted something more real than a handsome movie star, or a pop star with a giant ego. So Diana's aspiring to marry Charles was every girl's romantic fantasy. But did Diana secretly crave a high profile? the idea would certainly fit with her emotionally-deprived background. There are strong hints that she often felt unimportant and unwanted by both her parents, whose bitter divorce was followed by them becoming preoccupied with their respective new partners. And was Diana really " not that bright"? we know she did poorly at school; which might indicate stress, rather than her IQ. Her parents could have afforded the very best tutors to help her -- or did they just give up on her, or worse, not think a girl was worth the investment? did they see her only as someone whose role in life was to get married? I can definitely see why Diana might be drawn unconsciously to a future which would provide her with real, genuine admiration and real appreciation; which would validate her worth to the world.

Many young girls dreamt of marrying "The Prince" and Diana was no exception. If Charles had been truly in love with Diana and had a degree in psychology, they might have stood a chance.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you very much!

Thanks 🤗

😂 Yes!

Yes I think the Queen was less demonstrative but showed it through loyalty and quietly heading off trouble. I can see she often gently steered the ship away from the reef a few times and didn’t get enough credit for doing so!

She did! 😂💕

Thanks for listening

he is not their descendant; that traitor and wife had no children. so not GGPs.

Glad you like them! 💗

Thank you 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks again!

😂💗

or the sydney phonebook, or kelly's directories; something historic like that. beaut.

Thank you so much!

Great! The next one is even juicier!

You’re welcome 😊

😂💗

I agree! I remember when I was 19…there is no way I could have coped with what she had to navigate 💕

Did your Mummy had a wonderful time? I bet she did. I have not have loving children ,however I share nice feeling from people who gave to their parents.

Thanks for listening

You are so welcome!

Yes that one is a gem!

More to come!

Wonderful!

Yay! Thank you!

Yay! Thank you!

Thank you xxx

Thank you so much!

😊💗

I believe that was misreporting and sorted out a long time ago. The queen believed her priority was to care for the two boys and allow them to grieve in priority and it was one of the few times she put duty to the citizens on a back burner until as you say Tony Blair told her that she needed to address the public because it was turning into a lynch squad. if you think about it - its pretty bad that a Queen can't be there for her grandchildren because the public feel they are more important than providing an emotionally stable future king.. but people grieving don't really think about stuff like that.

@@thevocalcrone maybe....not convinced

@@thevocalcrone BS WITH A CAPITAL BULL AND A CAPITAL SH!T! YOUR SENTENCE SAID IT. She's a Queen, then she's a grandma. Her duty is to her people first! Did her father teach her NOTHING!

@@thevocalcrone 100% I agree. Time teaches and hindsight is everything.

Oh you fell for Blair's lies. Wow he made a meal out of it to help his popularity between him and the media turning on the royals to deflect from their own issues. She stayed in Balmoral to be with the boys they needed to grieve. At the time I couldn't believe the lies the media and Blair were spreading. Worst of all I couldn't believe that people fell for it!

😂😂😂 You know me now! 💕

Thank you so much! 💗

Welcome aboard! You made me laugh about Burrell 😂👏

I agree!

The accounts from Dec to Feb 82 indicate to me there was a honeymoon flush of love. Fleeting however!

As someone involved with a narcissistic person, they can love and adore you but it is short lived and as shallow as their personality.

I have no idea!

All gone! Explained in community post on my channel page.

He was! The dashing Navel hero…Yes time away from the pressure and the public eye would have helped!

They would if she had really been stalked and harassed. This wasn’t related to the stories written about Diana, they couldn’t tell the paper’s what they should write about, it was only about the actual physical harassment. Meghan didn’t experience any.

I know, lol! Except as someone else pointed out, by lollies, they mean sweets!

Lollies are sweets, a barney is an argument 😊💗 A bit of aussie flavour!

@@thevintageread We say barney in UK too, but ours are sweets!
