The article is worth reading. The writer provides logical reasons why William
should become the next king rather than Charles.

Site with great photos. You can compare the young Lady Diana's clothing style
(1980) thru 1997 and the various pearls she wore. She clearly wore the wrong
clothing in the early years. The collars were too wide and the clothing for an
older woman, not a young princess. One of the photos shows Diana's beautifully
and strikingly blue eyes.

I have to agree with the article below. Comic books have changed and some
have evolved into mini magazines about historic events and people. This comic
book is a very shortened story of Diana's life and death. There are many kids
and I guess some adults who will read a comic book over a "real" book. This is
one way to learn about Diana and her life.
Bluewater responds to 'Diana' critics
Tuesday, November 10 2009, 1:40pm EST
By Mark Langshaw, Gaming/Comics Reporter



Bluewater Productions has responded to critics of its Female Force: Princess
Diana comic book, claiming that there is nothing controversial about the
publication.
Following its July release, memorial group the Diana Circle UK denounced the
book, branding it "disgusting" and "cruel" for its coverage of events related to
the star's death. However, the Washington-based studio has now hit back at what
it believes to be "misplaced outrage".
"Bluewater stands behind the portrayal of Diana, Princess of Wales. We believe
it to be accurate and respectful. People are entitled to their opinion and free
to share that opinion, but when it is based on faulty logic and fanatical biases
and communicated with such disdain, we feel that we must respond," read a
statement from the publisher.
"We understand there are many people who revere the memory of the Princess of
Wales, but to ignore the facts of her life, as the Diana Circle would have us
do, would be demeaning to the remarkable accomplishments she achieved during her
lifetime. With that said, what [Diana Circle UK co-founder] Ms Funnell considers
salacious or disgusting, a reasonable person might find newsworthy and
accurately biographical.
"Although we did depict the venue where she passed away, we did not show the
crash. Her indignation makes it seem that we revelled in picturing carnage.
Nothing could be further from the truth, and her inference that we mock Diana is
simply unjustified and categorically wrong."
The publisher claims that Funnell's opinion was shaped by images that were
published out of context by The Sun newspaper. It also suggested that her views
were a result of a misunderstanding of the modern comic book industry.
"Comic books, despite their name, are no longer Katzenjammer Kids or Peanuts.
Comic books are meant to entertain, yes, but just as often are used as
educational and inspirational tools for a variety of ages.
"The Female Force series tries to focus on female empowerment and provide
biographies that show the whole story of a subject's life. If she had taken the
time to read the entire book, she would see that it portrays the Princess in a
very positive light."
Female Force: Princess Diana is available in stores now.

From Telegraph London Newspaper
 
The Prince of Wales, already the longest serving king-in-waiting in British
history, is resigned to the fact that his son and heir will inevitably
overshadow him as the glamorous future of Royal Family.
His son has inherited the good looks of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales
which explains some of the huge media interest in next January’s trip Down
Under.
There were statements from both the New Zealand and Australian Prime Ministers
about the Prince William visit. By contrast, the reaction to the visit to Canada
next week of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall could not be more
marked.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation launched its revamped breakfast programme
with leaked private research conducted by friends of the Royal Family in Canada
which showed that two thirds thought the Prince of Wales was out of touch.
Another poll over the weekend in Canada showed that the Prince of Wales and
Duchess of Cornwall are the least popular members of the Royal Family.
The Queen was top on 65 per cent, Prince William next on 64 per cent, Prince
Harry thrid with 57 per cent, then the Duke of Edinburgh on 42 per cent but the
Prince of Wales trailed with 34 per cent. The Duchess of Cornwall scored only 18
per cent compared to 25 per cent for Kate Middleton, Prince William’s
long-term girlfriend.
It’s why the Queen is pinning so much on her grandson.

1997 Diana chose rose named after her


Rosa 'Princess of Wales' was
named for Princess Diana at her own request. It was selected from the Harkness
Nursery by members of her staff and taken to the Kensington Palace for her
approval. She was delighted with the beautiful little plant, a white rose with
gold stamens, with lots of clustered flower heads. Peter's nephews, Philip and
Robert Harkness, presented the rose to the Princess of Wales in April 1997.
Sadly only a few weeks later blooms of the variety were cut for her funeral.

Remembering Lady
Diana!

 

Published

Diana, Princess
of Wales, who left this world on August 31, 1997, is still alive in media and
hearts of the people. Much has been written and said and will continue to be
said, about the tragic and sad life of a beautiful, vivacious person who after
death, as in life, continued to occupy centrestage.

 

Exactly
12-year-ago, on August 31, 1997, she died after a car carrying her crashed.

More than a
decade has passed, like every year prayers and concerts will be organized in
the memory of the Princess of the hearts!

 

History pages
bring out some sweet and sour memories- ranging from a fairytale wedding to the
divorce and drastic end.

 

The bold and the
beautiful Princess had faced many hardships in her personal life but she was
strong enough in making a mark for herself. She was known for her charitable
work and social cause, her independent nature, courage to take a bold

stand, and fight
the blow of fate which had dealt her ruthlessly.

 

Despite much
hurdles, she never lost her spirit to take a good move that made her a genuine,
visual and radiant personality. Princess was a prudent woman.

 

Diana's earliest
memories, a daughter from the broken family The Spencers. A shy kindergarten
teacher, a warm person, who adored children, was always ready to stand for any
noble cause. A shy-sophisticated nineteen year old was suddenly pushed into

focus, a
position she was destined to occupy for the rest of her life, whether she liked
it or not.

 

Lady Diana later
Princess, was a phenomenon from the age of twenty, and the magnitude of the
phenomenon seemed to grow with age. She was a colour story without any
parallel. There was nothing in black and white about her. She was the first and
most enduring icon of the age of colour television and satellite transmission.

 

 

There was something
incredibly magnetic about the Princess specially her breathtaking beauty. She
was not merely photogenic. In fact, she was stunningly beautiful. She conducted
herself with rare dignity and poise. The tragic and fatal

end of Princess
by the Paparazzi 'buzzing insects' called by Federico Fellini the Italian film
maker.

 

 

Undoubtedly, her
sudden demise brought a shocking end to the pace of a long run an overdue
debate which might never end.

 

More than a
decade after her death Diana the Princess of Wales, remains as fascinating
today as when she was the most photographed women in the world.

Diana torch still flares from a Paris tunnel

A top QC has fanned the flames of controversy by saying that he
'cannot accept tunnel tragedy was an accident', writes Lucinda O'Sullivan

 

Sunday September 06
2009 from www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/diana

 

LAST Tuesday was the 12th
anniversary of the death of Princess
Diana, following a car accident in the underground tunnel at Pont de
L'Alma in Paris. Her death brought about an
unprecedented outpouring of grief and anger directed at the British royal
family for their treatment of her.

The famous British barrister Michael Mansfield, QC, who handled dozens of
high-profile cases, from the Birmingham
Six to Stephen Lawrence, has now said in his riveting
new book, Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer, that he "cannot accept the idea
that the Alma tunnel tragedy was an accident; they probably hope that it would
be perceived as such".

This is not the first time such
claims have been made. Two years before her death, Diana had told Lord Mishcon,
her solicitor, that "efforts would be made if not to get rid of her (be it
a car accident with brake failure or whatever) at least to see that she was so
injured or damaged as to be declared unbalanced". Paul
Burrell, Diana's butler, also disclosed a note by Diana, which he
maintained she wrote in 1996, saying "This particular phase in my life is
the most dangerous -- my husband is planning 'an accident' in my car. Brake
failure
and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry".

Many saw this as an instance of
paranoia on Diana's part. Michael Mansfield, a wealthy man, who acted for
Mohamed Al Fayed at the inquest into the
deaths of Princess Diana and her lover Dodi
Al Fayed in April 2008, pointed out that he took the case, not for
money, but "out of interest and a real sympathy for Al Fayed who had been
unceasingly and erroneously attacked for wanting to know what any grieving
parent would want: why his child died".

He said:"There are still
unanswered questions regarding the tragic accident that took place in the Alma
tunnel."

He further pointed out that on
April 7, 2008, the jury at the inquest came to the conclusion, not that it was
a tragic accident, but returned a verdict of "unlawful killing by the
drivers of both the Mercedes and the following vehicles". The "following
vehicles" referred to were not those of the paparazzi, as many thought,
but other vehicles including the infamous white Fiat
which apparently had no more than glancing contact with the Mercedes carrying
Dodi and Diana, but also a dark car in front of the Princess's car, which
slowed it down, and also a large motorbike tailgating it. There had also been
witnesses in the tunnel, Benoit Boura and Gaelle L'Hostis, who saw the
Mercedes sandwiched between a dark blocking vehicle immediately in front, with
which the Mercedes had collided before it hit the 13th pillar and skewed across
the road, hitting the far wall of the tunnel, and a large motorcycle right
behind. Neither vehicle was traced. Two other witnesses, Clifford Gooroovadoo
and Olivier Partouche, who were on foot near the
entrance to the tunnel, confirmed seeing both the dark car and the motorcycle,
but Partouche also thought he saw flashes of light before the vehicles
disappeared into the underpass.

In days of yore, it was customary
to read a fairy story to children at bedtime. Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin
spring to mind. Both of the heroines in the stories were locked in isolation in
towers. They, of course, had happy endings, being rescued by handsome princes.

A couple of television
documentaries last week covered Diana's life and I was shocked all over again
by how callously this young girl was treated by the House of Windsor.

In 1980, Prince
Charles, having played the field for a number of years, was in his
30s and under pressure to marry and produce an heir and a spare.

He had dated Sabrina Guinness, Susan
George, Helga Wagner, Lucia Santa Cruz, the daughter of the Chilean
Ambassador, reputed to have introduced him to Camilla
Shand -- later Parker Bowles -- in 1971 and countless others. He
missed the boat first time around with Camilla in the Seventies, as he went off
to sea and she married someone else. It was rumoured too that his Mama did not
think she was suitable. The family and the establishment had a good look around
for a suitable bride, who had to be a virgin. They came up with the young and
innocent Diana Spencer, 19-year-old younger sister of Lady
Sarah Spencer, whom he had also dated.

In their engagement interview, when
asked if they were in love, Diana said coyly, from under her fringe, "of
course", while Charles said "whatever that is". Diana was
already aware of Camilla just before the wedding, and nearly called it off.
Coming down the aisle with Prince Charles after their marriage she looked like
a creamy innocent fawn, so young, so inexperienced, it was heartbreaking.

Trouble started on the honeymoon,
when it was clear Charles was still in touch with Camilla but pettiness really
set in when they were doing walkabouts on a royal tour of Australia.
People wanted to see Diana up close rather than her prince.

Diana said Charles resumed his
relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles in 1983, and she
received little sympathy with her post-natal depression after the birth of her
two boys. She had produced the heir and the spare. Diana didn't realise that
she was supposed to do like other royal brides before her, Queen Alexandra, for
example, and turn a blind eye to her husband's philandering. Windsor
spokespersons began to refer to her as unstable. She herself referred very
openly to her post natal depression in later interviews .

In some of the footage shown last
week from the Eighties, Diana was shockingly skeletal. Is it any wonder? She
was absolutely isolated by the Windsors. She said her post would go missing.
She said she was watched all the time. But she also admitted to being bulimic.
When the separation eventually came, she was sent to live in splendid isolation
in Kensington Palace.

Diana collaborated in 1992 with Andrew
Morton in a 'tell all' book. This was an absolutely sensational
thing for a royal

to do, but she was maturing and
fighting back. You could see it in her face as the years went on. Divorce
ensued, and both gave sensational interviews. The Palace seemed petty as they
stripped the mother of the future King of her HRH title. By 1997, the
inexperienced and gauche young girl had turned into a sexy superstar and a
continual thorn in the side of the Windsors. She was looking for a meaningful
role on the world stage for herself, and campaigned against landmines, making a
highly publicised visit to Angola in January 1997.

She was described in some quarters
as being a "loose cannon" and interfering in political affairs.

Diana always said she was never
going to go quietly, there wasn't a lot of coverage on mainstream British
television of the anniversary, but Michael Mansfield is keeping her torch
alight.

From the Guardian newspaper online
Talk: Ken Wharfe on Princess Diana at Fairfield Halls, Croydon
12:19pm Wednesday 5th August 2009
  Comments (0)   Have your say »
By Graham Moody »


Ken Wharfe was widely criticised when he published his memoirs about life as
Princess Diana's personal protection officer, but, six years on, he insists he
only wanted to keep alive the real story of the People's Princess.
The SAS-trained officer spent seven years looking after the late Princess of
Wales and will be telling anecdotes and talking about his experiences at two
lunchtime appearances at Fairfield Halls this month.

"Mohamed Al Fayed could not offer one single piece of evidence to support his
claims and even his own barrister did not ask him about the conspiracy theories
because Fayed could not offer any proof."Ken Wharfe
The publication of Diana - Closely Guarded Secret in 2003 was greeted with
animosity from some but Wharfe has no regrets about it.
"I just thought it was a shame that all the experiences I had with her I
couldn't share with someone," he says.
"It refers in part to the relationship she had with the Prince of Wales but that
was just to put it in context because at that time the school of thought was
saying she was mad and paranoid whereas I knew she was incredibly unhappy with
her marriage.
"I wanted to write it for the only reason that following Diana's death there was
an attempt to airbrush her out of royal history.
"I couldn't forget the time I worked with her and the way she changed the
popularity of the monarchy.
"No one has ever got as close to the man and the woman on the street as Diana
did and the other members of the royal family couldn't understand her popularity
and were jealous of it."
During last year's inquest into Diana's death, Wharfe played a vital role,
spending 70 per cent of his time there, including a day and a half in the
witness box.
"I thought it was an inquest that had to be held," he says.
"From day one I never once thought there was ever any conspiracy as I couldn't
imagine why anyone would want to kill Diana and Dodi Al Fayed.
"Mohamed Al Fayed could not offer one single piece of evidence to support his
claims and even his own barrister did not ask him about the conspiracy theories
because Fayed could not offer any proof.
"I think people accept the result as the end of the matter and that's how it
should be."

NOT AGAIN! NEW BOOK REVIVES DIANA CONSPIRACY THEORIESSaturday August 1,2009Have
your say(14)By Richard PalmerDid Diana's involvement in an anti-landmines
campaign really make her an assasination target?A CONTROVERSIAL new book claims
inconsistencies in evidence given at the Princess Diana inquest show that she
really was murdered.Fifteen months after the Ł4.5 million inquest found Princess
Diana was unlawfully killed due to the gross negligence of driver Henri Paul and
the paparazzi, investigative author John Morgan claims to have found evidence
that it was all a conspiracy involving British and French spies. 

But his book - Diana Inquest: How & Why Did Diana Die? - part of a trilogy  on
the unprecedented six month inquest, relies on no new disclosures to support his
claims that Diana's death in an August 1997 Paris car crash was not a
straightforward accident. 

Instead, he builds a case for conspiracy based on a highly selective
interpretation of testimony from key witnesses at the hearings in London's High
Court last year. 

Morgan, a 52-year-old New Zealand chartered accountant-turned writer living in
Brisbane, Australia, seems to think that Diana might have been deliberately
mistreated in an ambulance at the crash scene in the Alma Tunnel in Paris. 

He bases his claims on the hour and 43 minutes it took to get Diana to hospital
and the failure of doctors at the scene to radio ahead to the Pitie-Salpetriere
Hospital to get a specialist team of surgeons ready to operate on her chest
injuries. 

We've been here before, of course. 

When Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed and  his team made similar claims last year,
the suggestion that firemen,  ambulancemen, doctors and a long list of others
were in on the conspiracy with British and French intelligence proved the final
straw in destroying the Egyptian tycoon's case. 

But when I spoke to Morgan earlier this week, he named two people he thought
were responsible for ensuring that Diana did not get the treatment she needed. 

"Just two guys, I believe that was all you really needed," he said,  insisting
that Diana could have been taken almost immediately to hospital despite her low
blood pressure. 

His arguments, however, have been well rehearsed previously and were dealt  with
at the inquest by French experts who said they had never seen anyone survive
with the type of serious chest injuries that Diana sustained in the crash.
 
In France, staff were trained to stabilise critically injured patients at the
scene, whereas in British and the US doctors favoured getting patients into
hospital as quickly as possible. 

A British expert, Professor Tom Treasure, concluded there was a small chance
that Diana might have lived if the French had not wasted time. But there was
never any evidence to show that the French deliberately avoided giving her the
right treatment. 

The inquest heard that doctors did not radio ahead detailed instructions on
Diana's suspected chest injuries to hospital staff. But jurors were told that
surgeons and other specialists would have known to expect those type of lesions
in a critically injured patient from a crash. 

Morgan also thinks a 25-minute radio blackout during the ambulance journey is
significant, although the inquest heard evidence that medics had decided to
avoid unnecessary communications to avoid allowing journalists to listen in on
conversations. 

His book is the second in a trilogy he is writing analysing evidence given at
the inquest which he claims points to Diana being murdered because of her
involvement in an anti-landmines campaign that would have upset British and
French intelligence. 

Morgan, who has also written a book criticising Operation Paget, the Scotland
Yard report into Diana's death, self-publishes the books via the website
Lulu.com, which allows readers to print or download publications on demand. 

Here's a link if you're
interested: http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/diana-inquest-how-why-did\
-diana-die/7238673

But, having sat through six months of evidence at the inquest, I'm dubious to
say the least about any reinterpretation of the welter of evidence, which
pointed so strongly towards it all being a tragic accident. 

I'm reminded of a remark made by one of the lawyers at the hearings. He said the
trouble with conspiracy theories is that they're a bit like the Hydra, the
nine-headed creature slayed by Hercules. 

As soon as you chop off one, another one pops up to confront you.

Celebrating Di Daychris.elliott@... Diana.PEOPLE in
Cambridge are packing a community centre today to remember the day it was opened
by Princess Diana.

The Princess of Wales performed the opening ceremony of Cherry Hinton Village
Centre on August 1, 1989.

Large flag-waving crowds turned out to see her on the day, and residents
demonstrated some of the activities that would be carried on there.

To celebrate the anniversary, a special open day is being held today. Among the
events are a diving display by Cambridge City Dive Club, Tumble Tot taster
sessions, displays and stands, refreshments and free sports vouchers for anyone
going along. In addition, people attending will receive a voucher for free
badminton at the centre during August.

Claire James, spokeswoman for Sports and Leisure Management, the organisation
that runs the village centre, said: “The centre is very popular and we know
that people still feel very strongly about the Princess of Wales.”

Among those planning to go along is John Woodhouse, a former mayor of Cambridge.
He and his wife Sue invited Princess Diana to come and open the centre, not
dreaming that she would be able to do so.

Mr Woodhouse said: “Someone reminded me that Princess Diana was coming to
Cambridge to open the children’s hospice at Milton, and suggested we should
write to her to see if she would do the village centre as well. To our surprise,
she agreed.”

His memories of the day are tinged with sadness – his wife Sue died in a car
accident seven years ago.

“I remember Sue and I were very nervous, but on the day the princess was
wonderful,” he said. 

“She put both of us at ease by apologising for being late. She blamed the
traffic in Cambridge, which made us laugh.

“It was a brilliant day, and she was a brilliant lady.”

Today’s open day runs from 10am-4pm.

Gloucester florist's tribute to DianaMonday, July 20, 2009, 07:03SHE was

years Kenneth and Josephine Dobson, of Parkwood Crescent, Hucclecote, founders
of the Diana Circle UK, have been taking flowers to Althorp House.And each time
their blooms are picked from The Cross Flowers, based in the centre of

There are 8 separate videos that are so inspiring and beautiful to watch. It is
easy to see why people loved Diana. The videos shows the warmth and caring Diana
showed people even when there were no photographers around. People spoke of her
kindness and showed their home videos. I think the 7th and 8th videos are the
most beautiful and meaningful.
Below is the address of the 1st video that will open the door to the other 7.

From Orlando Sentinel Newspaper
Dewayne BevilTheme Park RangerE-mailPrintShareVoteThe new exhibit at Downtown
Disney showcases the many lives of the late Princess Diana, from childhood to
princess to mum to philanthropist to icon.

During a walk-through of "Diana — the People's Princess," I was reminded that
royals are people, too. The displays show off hundreds of regal artifacts,
including some chic, rarely-seen-in-America dresses, but what stuck with me are
the hundreds of items showing Diana's human touches.

For instance, on display is a blanket that the princess used in Balmoral, the
castle in Scotland. She would get chilly, just like real people, right? And
maybe someone in the castle was a cover hog because stitched along the edge is a
tag that reads "HRH Princess of Wales." Hands off, the princess has spoken.

There are many handwritten pieces as well. Diana was prompt in her thank-you
cards, and she wrote out birthday invitations that look like they could have
been purchased at Party City.

On one wall is a handwritten schedule for her hair appointments. Some days have
an additional notation — "tiara" — for days that a crown-friendly 'do was
required.

On the royal side, the dresses are impressive and flanked by photos of Diana
wearing them. Most familiar might the black velvet V- neck ensemble she wore
for an official portrait in 1985. What you can't see in that portrait is the
cool, elegant back, topped by a decorative rose at the back of the neck.

In the back is a plaid dress that Diana wore to an event in Scotland.

"She was very astute in matching her fashion to the country or institution she
was visiting," says Maureen Rorech Dunkel, founder of The People's Princess
Charitable Foundation, which is presenting the exhibit.

A series of larger-than-life photographs serves as a timeline for her fashion
evolution.

"I'm trying to hone into her multiples identities," Dunkel says.

Many of the displays are oversized, which is a good thing considering the size
of the room. The displays wind around the ground floor of the building, which
housed the Virgin Megastore until the entire chain closed earlier this year.
Giant banners and photographs dangle from the rafters as well as on the exterior
of the building, where images of rock singers and pop stars used to hang out.

Diana's death is covered without being too maudlin. Notable items within a
memorial case are Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" music and a ceremonial
jacket worn by a pallbearer. Nearby is a large representation of the thousands
of flowers that mourners placed at the palace gate.

The exhibit typically takes 35 to 45 minutes to experience, Dunkel says.
Frankly, I would have guessed longer — there are so many little things to
absorb. And larger pieces such as the doll-sized replica of Diana's wedding
dress (and 25-foot train) are time-consuming items. But don't take a picture —
photography is extremely restricted.

The artifacts will be at Downtown Disney through November. It's easy to imagine
making a night of Cirque du Soleil or dinner with Diana for dessert. Sweet.
