Poohah, Sara, what pain are you talking about? The mention of Diana's name among people who want to forget she ever existed?
The royals are vindicating this book as quickly as they can while protesting far too much Darl'ng.
See how much better QEII, PP and the POW fare in this book than actual circumstances warrant? They are basking in the limelight while giving statements of protest to young William to read for them as directed.
[/b][/quote]I mean Prince William have statement for Paul Burrell of his mom's new book you read in Sun?
he got upset about it!

I heard that Prince William wants to take two years off (and hide out in Africa).
Is that following the adage, "give someone an inch and they will take a mile"?
I mean its nice that the new age is more permissive, but the creaky ones must be turning over in their graves by now ??????

PRINCE William was taken to hospital after being struck down by the tropical disease bilharzia.
Bodyguards accompanied Wills, 21, a student at St Andrews University, to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee on Friday night after he said he felt unwell.
He is thought to have a low level of the condition but was immediately prescribed tablets of the drug Praziquantel, which has a 90 per cent success rate, our sister paper the Daily Record reveals today.
Wills caught the disease - which infects around 200million people a year and kills 20,000 - on his month long safari in Africa, where it is common among travellers.
Symptons include fever, headache, cough and diarrhoea. Other physical signs include a tender, enlarged liver and spleen.
It is a parasitic infection caused by a type of worm that lives in rivers or streams and is often caught by swimming.
ILL: William caught disease in Africa
William went whitewater rafting on the Nile and spent three days at Bujagali Falls in Uganda.
But royal insiders stressed last night that he is not in danger.
Buckingham Palace said he had blood tests after coming back from his trip in August.
A spokeswoman said: "When William was in Africa he picked up bilharzia.
"He returned from Africa and was feeling unwell. He went for a blood test and the specialists say he had bilharzia.
"Prince William has a very low level of the disease and all he has to do is take the tablets and everything will be fine. It was a routine appointment and he got everything dealt with."
William was joined in Africa by 11 friends, including former Guards officer Mark Dyer, and Scotland Yard protection officers.
The spokeswoman added: "Everybody who went on the trip with him will also be checked for the disease because it is very common in that part of Africa."
William has spent several holidays on the sprawling 45,000 acre nature reserve in the foothills of Mount Kenya run by close family friends Jane and Ian Craig.
William has told his father and the Queen that the Bujagali Falls - where he is believed to have picked up the disease - are among the safest in the world for whitewater rafting.
He loves Africa so much he has told Prince Charles he wants to live there for two years when he graduates.
He recently said he has been trying to learn Swahili in his spare time.

May their lives become better.... I can't understand why Diana's son's haven't pushed for an inquest, unless they already know something for sure that the rest of us don't. There's too many weird things about that accident to just accept its conclusions for an explanation of a loved one's death.
From: http://www.mirror.co.uk/columnists/suecarroll/
They were, quite simply, her life." How sad, then, that these young men who were her pride and joy don't carry a torch for Diana but seem, like their father, able to consign her memory to history.
Sure, we've had a few, diffident words dragged out of William when he deigned to grant an interview on his birthday but, er, that's it. When asked to open a memorial to her in Kensington, he turned down the offer. What do they think of the garden planned for her in Hyde Park? We don't know, they've never said.
.......................................
Meanwhile, here's a tip for William who said last week that he and his brother "are more able to speak for our mother than Paul".
Start talking.

I wonder if dragging their 'dirty laundry' out in public, so to speak, might be a factor.
While speculation, gossip and rumor can be damaging it's not nearly as damaging as finding out who/what really caused it.
Maybe the boys are trying to preserve their mothers memory and protect the family name???
just a thought
This is reasonable except that it doesn't explain the reluctance of Diana's sons to preserve their mothers memory in tangible ways, such as in memorials or tributes.
I suspect that C/C have made it impossible for William or Harry to say or do anything nice concerning their mother.

Wills And Beyonce To Meet In London, Hello Magazine
Prince William will finally get his chance to meet R&B diva Beyonce when she plays in London next week. The handsome royal has requested tickets for her concert at Wembley Arena, and organisers have arranged for him to meet the singer back-stage.
Back in July, Beyonce met Wills' father at the Prince's Trust Party In The Park. She was somewhat taken aback, however, when Charles revealed that Wills had a crush on her. "I went red in the face and couldn't believe it," said the 22-year-old. "I'm sure William can't believe his father said that and I'm sure Charles will be in trouble when he gets home."
But the incident obviously hasn't dampened his desire to meet the Destiny' Child chanteuse. Wills had hoped to see her perform in Glasgow on Tuesday night, but his college commitments at St Andrews made that impossible. He asked tour organisers to arrange tickets for her gig in London, therefore, and is expected to attend with a group of friends.
"I'm thrilled – Wills is very good looking," said Beyonce. There's not much chance of romance, however, as the Texan belle is already "crazy in love" with rapper Jay-Z.

Prince William partied at a Pizza Express in Fulham with THREE blondes.
Restaurant staff opened a downstairs area specially for the 21-year-old royal after he asked management for a private spot.
But later, as his entourage went out for a night on the town, Wills was pictured leaving alone for an early night.

Wills Becomes the Prince of Clubland
25 NOVEMBER 2003
Like many other British 21-year-olds, Prince William is a big fan of London clubland. But when it came to becoming a member of one of the capital's nightspots, Wills eschewed the pounding dancefloors of the city's best-known venues for something a little more refined.
The world's most eligible bachelor has applied to become a member of White's, the most exclusive gentleman's club in London. In so doing he follows in the footsteps of his father, Prince Charles, who held his stag night there more than two decades ago.
According to member Tom Stacey, those hoping to join require a proposer and two seconders before their application will be considered. Their name will then "sit around in a book for a while, collecting signatures, until it has about 35", reveals Tom. And there is also a membership fee of £850, though none of these requirements should prove too difficult for Wills.
White's has its origins in the early 18th century, when its gaming room, known simply as "Hell", became popular with young London aristocrats. Such was the establishment's reputation that the then Earl Of Oxford called it "the bain of half the English nobility". Since then, however it has become a veritable pillar of London society.
Gentleman's clubs are enjoying something of a renaissance in well-to-do circles of British society. In recent years young aristocrats, who have long been turning their backs on gentlemen-only bars, have been making a return to this bastion of British tradition.

I don't mind men having their own "clubs" but why aren't there and Womens only clubs?
Prince William and his grandmother, The Queen, posing with the captains of the English Rugby team at a tea and reception The Queen hosted for them at Buckingham Palace. Dec. 8, 2003. To me, this is a sign that Prince William is steadily begining to move more into his royal role, and it's great to see him at an official function.

Ananova, Dec 23:
"A cinema owner says Prince William was among the audience for a matinee showing of the new Lord Of The Rings film.
The Prince was said to have watched Lord Of The Rings - Return Of The King with friends at the 147-seat Hollywood cinema in Dereham, Norfolk, on Saturday.
The cinema is one of a chain of five independent cinemas in East Anglia owned by businessman Trevor Wicks.
Mr Wicks said staff had spotted the Prince when he arrived wearing a baseball cap. He said after William's party had left a police protection officer had confirmed to staff that the visitor was the Prince.
The Prince had bought five Cornetto ice-creams - three strawberry flavoured and two mint - during the interval.
Prince William is spending Christmas on the Queen's Sandringham estate which is a few miles from Dereham.
"I think it's fantastic," said Mr Wicks. "I couldn't believe it when I got the call from my manager telling me what had happened.
"What's great is the ordinariness of it. He could have gone anywhere. He could have gone to a West End premiere but instead he came to a local cinema.
"He came with a party of 11 and they pre-booked. One of his security staff was seen in the market square on a walkie-talkie shortly before he arrived.
"The staff were in little doubt that it was him. He bought ice-creams in the interval - apparently he first offered a £5 then handed over £10 when he was told that £5 wasn't enough."
"And when they had all left one of his protection officers gave one of our staff a thumbs-up and said 'You were right', it is him.
"So I don't think there's any doubt it was him. If it wasn't, it was a very elaborate hoax."
Kiosk assistant Diana Isbill told her local newspaper, the Eastern Daily Press, how she sold the Prince ice-creams.
"He actually gave me £5 first and we had to tell him it was more than that, so he then gave us a £10," she said.
"I didn't feel I could keep staring at him and he had to be entitled to his privacy."
Mr Wicks, who also owns cinemas in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, Fakenham and Lowestoft, took control of the cinema in the market place in Dereham 12 years ago after it was threatened with closure.
He added: "I don't think he's ever been to one of my cinemas before. I hope he visits us again."
A spokesman for Prince William declined to comment."
