Princess Diana Laid To Rest

This is not meant to be a gruesome topic but I just read some friends of Diana's asked for certain items to be placed in her coffin--letters, personal memorabilia and the like. One was Lucia Flecha de Lima, the Princess' closest friend. The family said "no" but the butler managed to work with the funeral director to get them in the casket before it was closed.

I read her sons placed mementos in there....and I can fully understand that as I did the same with my dad recently. But did the Mother Teresa rosary stay with her? What about her wedding band and the infamous diamond engagement ring? What happened to them?

I feel Diana's family showed enormous pettiness, given the fact she hadn't been speaking to most of them. The way they dispersed gifts to godchildren was equally appalling--some bits of china for Rosa Monckton's daughter. Diana had wanted to leave them something far better, including money.

Even Prince William expressed his views they descended like vultures and tried to put his foot down on the fact they took dresses and items for her "museum." I believe her sons should've made the decisions on dispursement, not her not very supportive during her life sisters, brother and mother.
 
I don't know about her wedding ring but I believe that the engagement ring went to Harry.

It's a shame that whatever went into her casket Diana still does not have peace - The public will not let her rest in peace.
 
I think little disagree!

her famous sapphire engagement when she got married to Prince Charles in 1981 i think maybe kept at Buckingham Palace or Harry?

her famous dresses at Althorp and Kensington Palace for dresses display her brother owner at Althorp!

before she died she gives credit to Prince William on christies in June 1997 at New York and London, England because Diana needs new dresses than frock famous dresses.

she bury in Island near the water where tomb she been buried.

Dear MaryShawn

Diana is buried with the Mother Teresa rosary and her weddingband. Paul Burrell placed it in her hands when he prepared her for the coffin.
Her engagement ring is now property of William. When he will get engaged his future wife will wear this ring.
I read somewhere that a beautiful portrait of Diana and a portrait of her sons went in the coffin.

I thank all of you for all of your thoughts and information. Now, I feel bad saying Diana's family was petty--given the death of her mother.....I hope she rests in peace as her life was no picnic either.

I read somewhere the royal standard flag was ripped from Princess Diana's coffin and replaced with the Spencer flag during the final ceremony. Is it true? Just wondering. I don't know much about Princess Diana and the British Royalty. I don't really pay attention to them that much.

I heard that too, Black Cat. Again it shows the thorough crassness of Earl Spencer. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Which one is her wedding ring? The big blue one? Or is that her engagement ring?

:blush:
 
The sapphire is her engagement ring...I think she just had a plain gold band as her wedding ring.

Diana's wedding band was made from a piece of Clogau gold from Wales that made the Queen Mother's, the Queen's, Princess Margaret's, and Princess Anne's wedding bands. A new piece was given before Andrew's marriage to Sarah and her band is from this piece and Sophie's too I would imagine.
 
I read a book called "The Day Diana died" 6 years ago and it said that in her coffin, she had Mother Teresa rosary and pictures of her father and her two sons, Princes William and Harry in her hands. Prince William kept his mother's engagement ring. Also, She wore the black coatdress that she never wore before in the coffin and she told Prince Charles one time that when she died, she wanted to wear the gold earrings and she wears it in the coffin. That's what I read in the book.
 
I heard or read that too! That she had a favorite pair of gold earrings she was wearing the night she died and Charles had a fit (on her behalf) as only one was found; the other was later found in the car. He said she never left the house w/o her earrings and he insisted they be found. Some might find that a silly token gesture but I thought it was a very kind, thoughtful thing to do. I had heard recently about the sapphire ring and also heard her simple gold band was on her hand--again, a gesture Charles insisted on. Her favorite designer, Catherine Walker, contributed a black dress Diana had purchased but never picked up. I assume the one borrowed from the Ambassador's wife and her shoes were either returned or destroyed.

I hope she finally is at peace but I really, really miss her.....and all that might have been.......

I am back to my original position that her blood family--particularly Lord Spencer--are a pack of vultures. Removing the royal standard.....opening up a museum (against William's wishes), after all his fussing while she was alive about how she couldn't have a simple cottage on the estate as "it would cause too much commotion." He rode her coattails to get a job on NBC. And now he is doing the same--making money off of her death--not for her Foundation--but for his own comfort and convenience. It's sickening. He wanted peace and quiet, fine, don't open a museum and invite crowds in......I bet he has a gift shop in there with mementos and replicas and postcards.....I find it appalling!

Let her rest in peace.
 
Th funeral was almost 8years ago but when I look at this pictures I still feel very moved.I think it was nice that also Fergie was there.

Was Sophie there with the Queen when the coffin passed by at Buckingham Palace I thought I saw her..

Sophie didn't stand outside Buckingham Palace with the rest of the family. Of course, at the time she wasn't married to Edward yet.

The story I heard was that, because of Sophie's vague resemblance to Diana, it was thought that her presence would be confusing to some people (I guess some people might have thought it was Diana standing there, although Diana was quite a bit taller than Sophie so I don't know how that confusion could really arise).
 
But then sombody similar to Sophie was standing outside.I know they weren´t married, but they were unofficially engaged since 1994. So I thought it could be possible...
 
This is so sad. I watched the funeral adn the music was so beautiful. Looking at pics of the RF they all look so sad. I hope they were all truly sad. I wonder what they were thinking. It was nice to see Sarah there. She looked very pretty. I wonder was she allowed to be with the RF all day.

Well, according to Sarah, Duchess of York, who is certainly not crazy about her former in-laws, the entire royal family was "shattered" by her death. If nothing else, I'm sure they were all grieving the loss of someone who they all knew and cared about, if not loved, not to mention the pain they felt for William and Harry.
 
Facts

Elton John's song @ Diana's funeral was actually talking about Marylin Minroe...that's why from one of the lyrics of the song...says that he was just young when he knew her!!!!...When I look at those pictures I've noticed that Harry was pretty small for a 14 year old kid (I think that was how old he was?)....but he pretty much caught up at Wils' height now!!!And the thing that made me sad about Di's funeral was when I remember that Harry wrote a letter to his mom and it was on top of the coffin...that was really sad!:(
