Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
I saw the paps goad her with my own eyes.
The things they shouted at her to get a reaction, were disgraceful.
A referee would have blushed at the downright nasty, filthy language.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
Camilla aka the least popular royal squeeze will never win the publics hearts regardless of what she does are tries. Di had the knack of knowing what made the public go soppy and was happy to oblige. There will never be another like her again in royal circles.

I liked her because she was an English aristocrat, unlike the middle class German lot we are now lumbered with.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
I traced her family tree back to the Percys (Hotspur) and Richard the Lionheart. She probably had more royal blood in her veins than any of the Windsors.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
There was one thing I couldn't understand about public reaction. Why did they expect the Queen to return to Buckingham Palace and make speaches to the public rather than stay at Balmoral with her grandsons who had just lost their mother? I'd have been more disappointed in her if she had abandoned her family for the sake of a public appearance. The press reports that she didn't care how the public felt were unfair. They'd have had more of a go at her if she had appeared not to care about how William and Harry felt. She couldn't have won at that time whatever she did but I believe she did do the right thing.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
Unfortunately it was a no win situation for her. She put the boys first as any caring or worried granny would. If it had been a case of sod the public for now then quite right. Family first I say.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
Whilst there is conflicting evidence, as you pointed out WillowTheWisp, we should continue to seek the truth.
Of course if there was no royal family then we wouldn’t be having this debate.

Re: Should they just stop with the Diana inquests?
It just shows what you read in the daily snot-rags (i.e. Sun, Mirror and the Daily Star! ) isn't always what really happened. Sometimes the official story is not the truth and it takes time to uncover what really happened - but there is always a mystery, it is part of the human condition! And don't we all just love it! Oh yeh! But do you really think the people at the top (who ever they are?) would have allowed the future Kings mother to have a half arabic child? Especially in this climate? Now think on!?!?!?

That's assuming that she was going to have a child.

I think most people thought parading her grandchildren before the world's press, at a church service hours after the event, where their Mother's death wasn't even mentioned in passing never mind prayer, wasn't how most grannies would have protected their grandchildren.
However she did abandon protocol, and caved in to public pressure by returning to London the day before the funeral and gave that live, clipped, cringeworthy broadcast.
Remember this is the woman who is so devoted to duty that she has never cried in public....except at the decommissioning of her royal yacht Britannia.
Very telling.
