Default Remembering Diana



In the years following the death of Diana Princess of Wales, former employees, friends, and journalists have been busy publishing increasingly scandalous and lurid accounts of her life. This article is a plea for tolerance and moderation in media coverage of Diana and a celebration of her positive contributions to charity and family.

Bravo! Diana was truly a wonderful young woman. We should remember all the good things she did and how she made people happy. You are quite right when you say all the other things mean nothing. The press will always find something to write about now that she is no longer alive but we should not let the negative change what we think or how we feel about a truly remarkable young woman who left her mark on this crazy world and was indeed the peoples princess. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry Elspeth, was I not supposed to comment on the article? Didnt mean to put my two cents in where it doesnt belong. I was just agreeing with the author. I will be careful next time. Thanks.

No, please don't worry, your comment was perfectly appropriate, and I'm sure Casiraghitrio must have been very pleased to see that her article had been received in the spirit it was intended.

I was just saying that our articles, and hopefully our threads, try to explore many different aspects of royal people and events even though the press can sometimes be rather one-sided.

Great article Ashley ! I love how you presented her work for charities and how she's still making things change even if she's no longer with us. Thanks for writing this amazing tribute

Very enjoyable. I like your description of her "magical radiance." That's how I always thought of her, and what I miss.

I think she'd be very proud of her sons, especially Harry's interest in the orphanage in Africa.

Thank you for the nice comments. I am sincerely glad that the article "spoke" to some of you out there. Pardon the expression. I have not been on TRF in many months now, but my interest and study of the BRF has not taken any significant hiatus, and I would like to write a follow up to this article, with possibly more emphasis on the evolution of Diana's media image, which I think has the most fascinating impact on the monarchy and media today.
