I will miss her for the rest of my life! she was a perfect princess!
No she wasn't. No one is. She was a frail human being like the rest of us but she also gave a lot of love and hope to many people. That's more important than being perfect.
After her divorce, she seemed a bit neurotic.I will miss her for the rest of my life! she was a perfect princess!
Yes, Diana did ride in the carriage with The Queen Mother at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in June 1982.
Image Detail for - ... Mother and Princess Diana travel by carriage at Trooping the Colour
That picture is from Trooping the Colour 1983, not 1982. Two additional pictures from 1983: The Queen Mother and Diana, the Balcony.I'm not sure that picture is from Trooping the Colour 1982, Diana does not look pregnant...
She wasn't perfect, she had her issues and everybody knows that. But it doesn't mean that we can't remember the best of her and respect her memory. Maybe being princess just wasn't her... place.No one is. She was a frail human being like the rest of us but she also gave a lot of love and hope to many people. That's more important than being perfect.
Being a princess is not an actual job, this is a privilege.Diana was a pretty good Princess of Wales. She carried out her role with a great deal of grace and dignity. She always wanted to do her best on the job and she did.

As for Charles...he made a big mistake then, marrying Diana.
Why do you do this? I don't do this for my parents and I expect you dont either. Why are you doing this to Diana? Let her rest in peace. She is no saint - and she would never say she was. I'll repeat what I said in an earlier post.

Not only that. She tried to raise her children so they can carry on her legacy. Showed them a life of the less privileged.Also, I will keep her in mind as a great mother who wanted to give her kids a halway normal life as much as it was possible in her position.
From my regular reading of the CC many of these wouldn't be classes as official engagements e.g. polo. Missing are things like Trooping the Colour and the Garter ceremony which would be classed as official engagements.
The problem with doing any list of coverage in the press is that it often covers unofficial engagements and doesn't cover official engagements.
If anyone has access to the CC prior to 1997 (the British Monarch Website only starts in 1997) I could do a count as I am doing for the years since 2000 but I don't have that access.
Just off the top of my head, perhaps sending an email to Tim O'Donovan over at the Telegraph might work? Wouldn't hurt to ask.
