it is very cryptic and it just drives me nuts wondering what it was she was going to do!

ysbel said:Well Princess Grace did it without losing any of that dignity that she possessed till the end of her life.
That having been said, I think Diana was better suited to being a performer than being a princess. As a royal, one is not really attracting so much attention to oneself but giving recognition to other people and events that contribute to the nation. The Queen does a marvelous job of that.
I think one of the tragedies in Diana's life is that she grew too tall to have a career as a classical dancer which she loved and would have been well suited for.
skk said:which of her friends said that and where??? any help on this would be much appreciatied.
branchg said:Well, in many ways, Diana WAS a performer because she became the most famous woman in the world after her marriage and was built up by all the attention into a media superstar.
She was smart enough to know her greatest role was being a princess and mother of a future king. If she lowered herself by dabbling in Sarah Ferguson-type activities, this would have diminshed her luster. Sarah did it mainly because she needed the money. Diana didn't.
maryshawn said:Paul Burrell, for one but since I posted, his relationship with the Princess doesn't seem to be what he portrayed it to be. Simone Simmons is another but she, too, seems to be making money off the death of her friend and, IMO, one book was enough. It was alluded that Rosa Monckton, Lucia Flecha de Lima and that correspondent whose name escapes me but was often Diana's mouthpiece, also said as much.
Now, I've read Dodi had kicked his habit and kept it around for his friends. He also had what Diana wanted: Time to devote to her. I still don't think they would've ended up together. Dodi had many troubles and, while Diana was drawn to helping troubled people, she told her good friend, Lady Annabel Goldsmith she needed another bad marriage like a hole in the head. She loved Dr. Khan and this seems, in retrospect, a rebound romance so I think, ultimately, she would have gathered herself together and said "no." I also think Dodi was pushing things a bit too fast for Diana's comfort level. They really scarcely knew one another and he was talking marriage...... I just don't see it happening. She would've moved on.
Harry's polo shirt said:I don't think Harry would be as insecure and as influenced as he is by peers, examples include the uniform, drugs, drinking, and partying. Because Diana showed him more attention and affection than Will, Harry wouldn't feel like he has to upstage his brother by acting out in order to get attention.

and....of course.....Charles would not have married his mistress! at least I dun think that people would accpet their marriage if Diana is still alive....also...if Diana is still alive with Charles marrying Camilla, that would make a mess i think, a big mess! (well, you can say the papers can always make BIG $$ by making up lots of gossips)
I guess for her boys, I think Harry would not have make those stupid decisions for wearing the nazi shirts..etc
gaggleofcrazypeople said:At this point, she might be getting jelous of Wills. She would be getting older and getting less attention. And since he has been getting alot of it, she might just be jelous.
I agree with some hing than you said in your post.Margrethe II said:I shall take a different path to many here.
I believe that if had Diana, Princess of Wales lived that relations between her and the royal family would have, actually, improved..."MII"
I agree too.bigheadshirmp said:if Diana had lived
