But as I said I am not interested in her and certainly don't want to start a discussion with a "Diana fan".
This is a thread about Mary's visit to Uganda as patron of the Danish Refugee Council.

Right, ricarda, this thread is about CP Mary in Uganda, and that is precisely why I made my comments. Your perspicacity regarding what other royals think is truly amazing! Diana's avant-garde approach to aids sufferers, and land mines has just manifested itself like a double whammy, let's hope it has the desired effect!

FYI, I am not a ''Diana fan'', your foregone conclusion, an inaccurate one I might add!

So sorry.
It's a pity though. If Diana wasn't even able to make you a fan of hers then I strongly doubt her "following" or "clout".

Btw, your perspicacity regarding the avantgardeness of Diana's approach and the manifestation "like a double whammy" is truly amazing as well!
I guess we are all expressing our personal opinions.

Okay the Diana Mary discussion has been beaten to death now.

Can we please move on?

Thank you.
