Madame Danielle Emilienne Isabelle Mitterrand née Gouze, Premiere Dame de France, the president's spouse indeed.

She has met the couple a couple of times already, since Monsieur Jacques Chirac has been Premier Ministre and Maire de Paris for decades, before he became President.

By the way, Madame Bernadette Chirac née Chodron de Courcel, Premiere Dame de France could not know that she and her spouse would be amongst the first and the very few to say Au Revoir to the deceased Princess in that awful night in Paris....

I remember reading about that event when Diana recieved her humanitarian award. I think Colin Powell had stated that he was distantly related to Princess Diana.

Why did they take that picture with Diana standing one step above? It makes Madame Chirac look sooooo short!

The problem is that I've saved the pictures in my computer and I can't remember in which website it belongs to. How can I do to post legally the pictures?

Not all websites hold the copyrights to the photos they post so the name of the website may not be sufficient.

I suggest you search two photo agency websites that have good collections of historical photos of the British Royal Family. Both of these sites hold the copyright of their photos and have really good search engines. Perhaps you will find photos similar to the ones you downloaded on your pc.

Remember though, not to post the actual photos here because neither you nor The Royal Forums owns the copyright. But you can post here a link to the webpage where the photo appears as the others have done.
