I can see in her face that she would like to dance instead of sitting and watching. Seriously I know this feeling.

She was self-destructive. She died in the company of someone she should not have given the time of day to. That speaks volumes about who she truly was, and the mask she wore.

Some famous faces there from the teaching staff who are no longer with us sadly, Darcey Bussell and Viviana Durante would be going through the school back then and I spotted a few ex Royal Ballet stars being taught as pupils in that footage. Diana was like a little child around ballet dancers. She had this fantasy in her head that she wanted to be one.

She grew too tall for ballet. She always said that made her sad. She always wanted to be a ballerina but you can’t be too tall or you can’t find partners. She was 5’11” and gorgeous. Miss her all the time

What a wonderful person, Princess Diana! It is not possible not to smile and feel happy seeing her sincerely kind face, though not for those French reporters who led her to her death by pursuing her and preferred her as their dead prey rather than respecting her privacy and letting her live freely and happily and illuminating the world with her beauty and sincerity and kindness.

In a way, it must have been difficult for her to watch instead of participate, or at least have fulfilled her potential as a dancer before moving on from ballet. It might have felt like unfinished business to her. Such a pity for her to not have had adult ballet opportunities like there are now. Dance seems to have meant a lot to her.🩰

Diana was 1,78 tall - too tall for a ballerina. Anybody knows what the limit is?
@karynesilva9176 20 күн бұрын
I think less than 1,7 because when ballerinas are in top of their toes they increase about 8 centimeters, while their partners are in flat shoes most of the time. In this case it would be necessary to find a 1,80 partner. wich may be hard

Today's ballerinas are very tall. There are a few of the same height as Diana was. But those days most ballerinas were rather tiny.

@@tiffcat1100 perhaps we are talking about two different things. Being in love is being in love, and there is no denying Harry is head over heels, to the point of poor judgement. Agreed. My point is that Diana would not care about that and would just be happy for him to be in love. Will he wake up one day? Most likely. We all do. But will he regret feeling in love. I don’t think so.
