Diana

Remembering the Princess

De: Ken Wharfe, Rosalind Coward

Narrado por: Emily Pennant-Rea, Ken Wharfe

Today, twenty-five years since Diana's death, seems the right moment for a reassessment of this remarkable woman. Did the Royal Family learn lessons from her life, about protection and privacy, about how to incorporate outsiders into their ranks, about how to manage scandal? Did it take any lessons from her death—and the public's reaction not only to that but also to the behavior of, in particular, the Queen and Prince Charles, in the aftermath? Or have the family and the Palace—the men in grey suits, as Diana called them—continued on the same track, unchanged, repeating many of the mistakes made with her, from her first nervous ventures in royal circles to her later defiance of traditional protocols?

These and many other questions are explored in this authoritative book, written by two people closely associated with Diana: Inspector Ken Wharfe was the Princess's police protection officer for six years during the most turbulent period of her marriage to Prince Charles, and Ros Coward was chosen as author of the official book by the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Trust. This book is both an examination of the people and events of the time and an elegiac tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the late twentieth century.

Comparing the People’s Princess to Markle foolish

Markle is an adult who chooses not to have a relationship with her dying father and even deny him and her children the opportunity to meet each other, so don’t blame the palace for miss handling, especially when you have someone go on Oprah and lie about her sister-in-law in my opinion. When he describes Harry doing something so inappropriate, I don’t think he ever changed and even he and his wife’s choice of their daughter‘s name was yet another disrespectful and harmful act in this case to Queen Elizabeth just wasn’t appropriate so please don’t compare the people‘s princess to a divorce who broke up with her first husband with a federal express. Diana was a teenager literally a teenager when she was exploited in my opinion by Charles and his royal mistress who acted like a groomer
