    Did the Queen act appropriately in the days following Diana's death?

    Princess Diana's Loss was a wake up call God Bless the Royals and their commitment to duty, but Princess Diana's death rocked their world. There was no precedent for what to do with a beloved former member of the royal family. The Queen had to change the status quo of silence and acting as if...

    What is your opinion about Charles visiting Diana's grave?

    Charles Visiting Diana's Grave - I don't think so Given the fact that the royals live by such a strict schedule and that Althorp is 1 1/2 hours outside London, I don't think Charles would ever be scheduled to visit her grave. I think he would leave that to William and Harry should they do so...

    When did your opinion of Diana change and why?

    I never knew just how alone she was My opinion of Diana will always be that she was used by the Royal family for the heir. She wanted to much to be accepted and the public loved her, but she lived a lonely existence of exile within palace walls. She had played her part and was a bigger star...

    Royal Replicas

    Cambridge Knot Tiara I have yet to see a really inspiring replica of the beautiful Cambridge Knot tiara. The Glamgal website even does not have the high standard I'd like to see. Of course, it does have the Spencer replica as I have stated before - actually 2 - one is the cheap looking knock...

    Royal Replicas

    Many are indeed "tacky-take-offs!" However, one can research as I have done and find a beautifully designed replica for one's memorabilia collection. It took me over 8 years to find one adequate enough to call a true replica.

    Spencer tiara replica - excellent! I have purchased the Spencer tiara replica from Glamgal.com (there are two offered - a cheap looking reproduction and a more expensive, beautifully crafted replica) Of course I purchased the best of the two. I am very pleased with this product. To place it...

    Should Camilla attend the memorial service for Diana?

    I will try to find the source where I read that Sophie did not attend the procession of the funeral cortege by Buckingham Palace (because of her resemblance to Princess Diana). It made an impression on me since she was still only dating Prince Edward. If I can access the source, I will post it.

    Should Camilla attend the memorial service for Diana?

    Well, now, let's look at history. When Diana married Prince Charles, Camilla was there. Diana knew what was going on then and even noted her presence at the wedding. It bothered her, but she went on and so did Camilla (she was a subject of the monarchy). When Diana died, Sophie did not...

    Did Sophie Copy Princess Diana?

    Sophie resembles Diana in looks only Sophie does indeed look a lot like Princess Diana, however when watching interviews with her it is very evident that her personality is far more assertive than Diana's. Diana had a quiet loveliness and sweet spirit that made her unique as a royal. Sophie may...

    Monaco Grand Prix 2006 - 2024

    I figured out what was missing It is always lovely to see the royals from Monaco. Caroline, though showing her age, exudes the elegant beauty of her mother. Prince Albert is looking a little portly. Charlotte is absolutely gorgeous and her brothers are so Europeanly handsome! I noticed that...

    Why do you like Diana?

    Diana's personal touch I really loved Princess Diana's desire to be personal and friendly to people no matter what class they were from. I thought it was kind of her to talk to the servants "below the stairs." I also loved the fact that she visited regular people in their homes privately...

    Best Royal Brides & Wedding Dresses

    Lady Helen Taylor's wedding gown was absolutely very noble yet elegant. She was regally radiant in her Catherine Walker gown. There are several wonderful poses of her in the gown with her dashing husband, Tim Taylor. She was a most beautiful bride! I'd loved to have been there!

    Diana's Styles and Titles

    I believe that by being the mother of the future King of England, Princess Diana will always be a part of the royal family. What a nice touch it would be if William did make the decision to restore his mother's HRH style. What would it hurt anyway - it would warm hearts and allow her memory...

    The Diana, Princess of Wales Fountain and Other Memorials

    Wade or Wash - Princess Diana still deserves better To wade or to wash - it does not measure up to what Princess Diana deserves for the contributions she made to the world and the love we all felt for her.

    The Diana, Princess of Wales Fountain and Other Memorials

    Princess Diana needs Memorial Sculpture One of my favorite sculptures is at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. It is Princess Charlotte's Memorial. Located in Urswick's Chantry, it was sculpted by Matthew Wyatt. She died in childbirth at age 21 and was much beloved as Princess Diana and the...

    Last Hours, Death, Transfer from France, Funeral and Interment

    Althorp was already opened to the public before Princess Diana's death. I visited Althorp on my honeymoon in the summer of 2000. The museum was very tasteful and the gift shop was modest. Her wedding gown was a wondrous sight to see and there were several recognizable dresses on display as...

    Run-up to the inquest into Diana's death

    The world is a little dimmer without the presence of Princess Diana. I really believe that it was a most unfortunate accident that could have been prevented had Dodi not been determined that the driver should speed dangerously with Diana in the car. I believe that it shows a certain amount of...
