Thanks for those photos. Most of which I have never seen before.
In the first one, the sisters look so much alike.

How nice it was for Diana to have her sister as lady in waiting.
Her sister must miss her terribly.

What we would not all give if Diana could have just settled down
she would be here today.
 
Sarah was a really pretty girl especially with that beautiful red hair. But I must say that she was far to attractive for Prince Charles.

Thanks so much for posting these lovely photos. The sisters look like dead ringers for each other in the first one, even down to the same haircut but for the color. Sarah was indeed a beautiful young woman. I like the one at the airport where they're kissing each other. How Diana's family must miss her each day of their lives.
 
Indeed. It wasn't just the death of a famous Princess. But that of a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend. I can't imagine losing a sibling at such a young age. I'm sure Diana's siblings treasure the memories they have of her.

Oh, that wasn't anything much, really.

I heard he was trying to cheer her, because she'd been dumped by Gerald Grosvenor (Current Duke of Westminster) and was taking it badly.
Neither was in love with the other, it was more of a friendship thing.
 
I don't like Kitty's Spencer's jacket, or the one worn by the current Countess Spencer.

I remember the picture above, and it demonstrates how Sarah did suffer from an eating disorder also, anorexia.
I didn't realize however, how much shorter she was than Diana.
 
But why does this photo demonstrate that she was anorexic?

My mother has always had such a type of body.

Of course, maybe I don't know her background,

Prince Charles enjoyed Sarah's sparkiness and irreverent wit and they made each other laugh.

I can't say with absolute certainty, but it's my understanding that she was recovering when she started spending time with the Prince of Wales and so wasn't at her thinnest.

I don't see anything in that picture that would suggest anorexia. She may indeed have faced that issue but in that picture it is not evident. I think people tend to fling around the term much too freely, JMO.

Lady Sarah has spoken publicly about her struggle with anorexia. IIRC she stated that for a while she lived on little more than vodka and cigarettes.

Has this wedding taken place yet?? Harry and George were close as children and seem to have remained fairly since. Would imagine you would see Harry attending but maybe the wedding managed to remain under the radar without press and paps. Guessing it could have taken place in South Africa without anyone being aware of it

I have no clue if the wedding has taken place. I haven't heard anything about it. A surprise to me. Perhaps someone on here knows more about it.

I just googled "McCorquodale Moore wedding" and came up with this, which looks legitimate:

�� I was just about to post that website. August 2016 will be their time to jump the broom in South Africa.
